High-Dose Vitamin C Cancer Support
Supportive Therapy for Energy, Immunity, and Recovery
At IVme Wellness & Mobile Clinic, we offer High-Dose Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) therapy as a supportive, non-curative treatment for individuals undergoing cancer care. While not a replacement for chemotherapy, radiation, or other oncology-directed therapies, high-dose Vitamin C has shown promise in helping patients manage symptoms, improve overall wellness, and enhance quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
We are honored to support patients and families in their health journeys with safe, professionally monitored IV therapy—administered in our Athens clinic or in the comfort of your home.
What Is High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a potent antioxidant that plays a critical role in immune support, tissue repair, and protection from oxidative stress. In high doses—administered intravenously rather than orally—Vitamin C reaches levels in the bloodstream that would be impossible through diet or supplements alone.
At these higher concentrations, Vitamin C may help:
- Reduce fatigue and inflammation
- Support detoxification and tissue healing
- Improve immune system function
- Relieve treatment-related side effects, such as nausea or weakness
- Enhance overall well-being and recovery
Why Intravenous (IV) Delivery?
When taken orally, Vitamin C is limited by the body’s ability to absorb it through the digestive tract. High doses taken by mouth often cause gastrointestinal upset and are inefficient in achieving therapeutic blood levels.
IV administration allows Vitamin C to bypass the gut and enter the bloodstream directly, resulting in significantly higher serum concentrations—ideal for therapeutic or adjunctive support in cancer care.
How High-Dose Vitamin C May Support Cancer Patients
High-dose Vitamin C is not a cure for cancer, but it has shown potential as a complementary therapy when used alongside conventional treatment. Research and anecdotal evidence suggest it may:
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative damage
- Improve tolerance to chemotherapy or radiation
- Ease side effects like fatigue, nausea, and poor appetite
- Enhance tissue healing and recovery after surgery or treatment
- Help support emotional and physical resilience
Some studies have also explored its potential in improving quality of life and reducing pain perception in cancer patients.
Important: High-dose Vitamin C therapy should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, especially during active cancer treatment. We coordinate with your oncology team when needed to ensure safety and compatibility.
