High Dose Vitamin C

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that is critical for many metabolic functions in the body. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C and therefore must be taken externally. However, vitamin C has an absorption limit when taken orally and high doses can cause intestinal problems. Intravenous applications provide more effective treatment results by exceeding this limit.

The main effects of vitamin C are:

• Antioxidant Protection: Prevents cell damage by neutralizing free radicals.

• Collagen Production: Supports collagen synthesis, which is critical for healthy skin, bones and connective tissues.

• Immune Support: Strengthens the body's defenses against infections.

• Energy Metabolism: Increases the body's energy levels.

What is High Dose Vitamin C?

High dose vitamin C is a treatment method administered intravenously (through a vein) and significantly increases the concentration in the bloodstream. This method overcomes the intestinal and renal barriers, allowing levels to be reached that are too high to be taken orally. Doses of 10-30 grams are used in the treatment of various health problems by activating the pro-oxidant effect of vitamin C.

How Does High-Dose Vitamin C Work?

• Low Doses (Antioxidant Effect): Between 0.1-10 grams, supports cellular renewal and strengthens immunity.

• Medium Doses (Pro-oxidant Effect): Between 10-30 grams, provides a strong defense against oxidative stress.

• High Doses (Cancer Treatment): At doses of 30 grams and above, it shows selective toxicity against cancer cells.

High Dose Vitamin C Therapy

High-dose vitamin C therapy is an innovative method used to strengthen the immune system, reduce damage caused by oxidative stress, and improve overall health. This treatment, administered intravenously, overcomes the intestinal and renal barriers and increases vitamin C levels in the blood to concentrations that cannot be reached orally. These high levels create a strong antioxidant effect in the body, while supporting collagen production, accelerating detoxification, and increasing energy levels. High-dose vitamin C, also used as a supportive tool in cancer treatment, can have a cytotoxic (deadly) effect on cancer cells with its pro-oxidant effect. Dr. Nurcivan ÜNSAL ÜZ applies this method to strengthen the immune system of her patients and achieve effective results in the management of chronic diseases with personalized treatment plans. This treatment, which supports a healthy life, offers both a preventive and therapeutic approach.

High Dose Vitamin C Price

High-dose vitamin C prices may vary depending on the number of sessions, the amount of dosage used, and the needs of the individual.

The quality of service provided by the health center, the standards of the products used, and additional support for the treatment process are also among the factors that affect the price. It is important to make a detailed evaluation with a specialist before starting high-dose vitamin C treatment, because the dose and frequency of application are determined by the individual health condition.
