Mega Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps with a variety of functions essential to daily life. In addition to helping with stress, healing, and skin health, it is also essential to the body’s immune system.Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C naturally occurs in many foods. The body takes in this vitamin and uses it for a variety of bodily functions. First, vitamin C can help improve the elasticity of the skin. Collagen, which makes up the connective tissues of the skin — as well as the ligaments, tendons, and muscles — uses ascorbic acid during its production. This protein is also used during healing, helping repair a wide variety of damage, and in the production of hormones that counteract stress. Vitamin C is also used by the immune system, helping keep your body safe from infections and diseases. When the body is depleted of this acid, the body can cease to function normally. If this continues, it can lead to severe, irreversible effects on an individual.

Our Mega Vitamin C therapy can replenish lost vitamin C and a compromised immune system. Instead of receiving ascorbic acid through fruits and vegetables (through which the body can only absorb a partial percentage of the acid) the patient receives a direct injection of the vitamin.
