Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for various bodily functions. IV or IM injections of ascorbic acid are used primarily for treating vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) and in some cases, as an adjunct therapy for specific medical conditions.

IV Ascorbic Acid:

• Treatment of Scurvy: IV ascorbic acid is administered to rapidly correct severe vitamin C deficiency, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, bleeding gums, and poor wound healing.
• Adjunct Therapy: In some cases, high-dose IV ascorbic acid is used alongside standard treatments for certain cancers and chronic illnesses. However, its effectiveness and safety for these purposes are still under investigation.

IM Ascorbic Acid:

• Treatment of Scurvy: While less common than IV administration, IM injections of ascorbic acid can be used to treat vitamin C deficiency in patients who cannot receive IV therapy.

Vitamin C Services:

Vitamin C services typically involve the administration of vitamin C supplements, either orally or intravenously (IV)

Oral Vitamin C Supplements:

• Over-the-counter supplements: Vitamin C supplements are widely available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and powders.
• Dosage: The recommended daily intake of vitamin C varies depending on age and individual needs. It is generally recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage.

IV Vitamin C Therapy:

• High-dose vitamin C: IV therapy allows for the administration of high doses of vitamin C directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
• Benefits: High-dose IV vitamin C is believed to offer several potential benefits, including:
  • Enhanced immune function
  • Improved skin health
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Increased energy levels
  • Accelerated wound healing
