Gram-level vitamin C is only achievable through IV, what the research says and how physician-guided protocols work.

Vitamin C absorption through the gut caps out fast, take more orally and you mostly just lose it. Intravenous delivery is the only way to reach the gram-level blood concentrations used in high-dose protocols.

At those levels, vitamin C functions differently than a daily supplement: research has explored its role in immune support, collagen synthesis, fatigue reduction, and as a complementary therapy under medical supervision.

High-dose vitamin C is a specialty infusion at Recovery Room AZ, which means it starts with a physician consult and, when indicated, lab work, including a G6PD screen, a standard safety check before high-dose protocols.

Sessions are longer than a standard drip and are typically run as a series, with dosing built up gradually. Your protocol is set by our medical team and adjusted based on how you respond.
