Vitamin C
Vitamin c is an all rounder: It maybe useful to boost the immune system to help the body to fight resistant infections and maybe useful with Glutathione for skin brightening / skin lightening as well as for improving the skin structure.
Vitamin c in very high doses has been used as a supportive measure in the area of cancer complementary and alternative therapy. However the vitamin c doses needed in the context of cancer complementary and alternative therapy is very high, up to 1 gram of vitamin c per 1 kg of body weight or even higher. At this high dose, vitamin c has shown significant promise in cancer therapy, particularly due to its ability to selectively induce oxidative stress in cancer cells. This is achieved through the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which selectively kills cancer cells while sparing normal cells. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated that pharmacological ascorbate enhances the radiosensitivity of tumours, amplifying the effects of radiation therapy by increasing oxidative stress in cancerous tissues. This dual action of vitamin c-inducing oxidative damage and enhancing radiosensitivity makes it a potent adjuvant in cancer therapies..
At Leicester Ozone Clinic we have the technical ability and the clinical knowledge to deliver such high doses of vitamin c. Our vitamin c blog will provide more information about this form of therapy.
Ingredients
L-Ascorbic acid (the active form of Vitamin c) - various doses
Unique features
- We source our vitamin C directly from international pharmaceutical companies, ensuring it is of the highest grade. We only use L-ascorbate (not D-ascorbate) which is the natural occurring form of vitamin c and the most active.
- We measure the level of vitamin C in the blood during and at the end of the infusion to determine the appropriate dose needed to achieve the desired effect. For very high doses of vitamin we use the Riordan clinic protocol, which you can access from this link.
- We monitor patients continuously on a one-to-one basis, especially for very high-dose vitamin C infusions.
