There’s a reason certain vitamins and minerals are essential — they’re all important pieces in your overall wellness puzzle. Unfortunately, many Americans fall short when it comes to getting enough vitamins — one study reports that 75% of the population doesn’t eat the recommended amount of fruit and more than 80% doesn’t eat the recommended amount of vegetables.
Because fruits and vegetables are major sources of key vitamins, including vitamin C, people are losing out on critical health benefits.
One of the most efficient ways to top up on critical nutrients is through intravenous (IV) therapy, which Dr. Sean P. Nikravan and our team offer at our practice in Newport Beach, California. As health care providers, we see the results of not getting the right vitamins and nutrients, and we aim to correct that through our premium IV therapy.
We offer a wide variety of IV nutrient therapies. Here, we focus on the power of one in particular — vitamin C.
We call our vitamin C IV therapy “High Dose Vitamin C Immunity Shield” because immune boosting is one of the key roles that vitamin C plays in your body.
Your immune system is made up of organs and cells that work together to protect you against disease. One of the things this system fights against are molecules called free radicals that harm cells and lead to oxidative stress.
A primary benefit of vitamin C is that it’s a strong antioxidant, which means it fights back against free radicals.
This is why vitamin C infusion therapy is a key treatment for people fighting disease and it’s often used during cancer treatments. And the reason why people turn to IV infusions is because, according to research, “Vitamin C can reach higher levels in the blood than when the same amount is taken by mouth.”
So, whether you’re fighting disease or you want to be proactive and boost your immunity to prevent getting sick, our High Dose Vitamin C Immunity Shield is a great weapon in your wellness arsenal.
While vitamin C promotes great health on the inside and helps you fight chronic disease, it can also influence your outside, too. More specifically, vitamin C helps boost skin health.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ and your body’s first line of defense against everything the world can throw at you. Like your immune system on the inside, your skin can be compromised by free radicals.
Through high-dose vitamin C IV infusions, we can make potent antioxidants available to your skin to encourage cellular turnover and more collagen production. As a result, your skin not only glows with great health, but it also becomes stronger and better able to protect you.
Vitamin C also plays a role in brain function, such as memory and thinking. Studies have found that people with dementia may have lower levels of vitamin C in their bloodstream. Our goal through vitamin C infusion therapy is to make sure you have adequate levels of vitamin C in your system to protect against memory loss and cognitive decline.
We’ve highlighted just some of the ways vitamin C can boost your health, but suffice it to say that you have everything to gain and nothing to lose when you introduce high dose IV vitamin C into your body. To schedule your High Dose Vitamin C Immunity Shield, contact Sean P. Nikravan, MD, today.
