After an infusion, your vitamin C levels will remain high for about 3 weeks. However, your timeline may vary depending on your metabolism and the frequency of your IV drips. Oxidative stress—an internal imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals—is the primary determining factor in how quickly your body makes use of its vitamin C supply.

The use of high dose vitamin C IV therapy has a long history, dating back to the work of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling in the 1970s. Pauling advocated for the use of high doses of vitamin C to treat various ailments, including cancer. Since then, research into the potential health benefits of high dose vitamin C IV therapy has continued to evolve. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. When administered intravenously at high doses, vitamin C can reach much higher concentrations in the bloodstream compared to oral supplementation. This high concentration of vitamin C in the blood may help combat oxidative stress, support immune function, and promote overall health and well-being.

How Our High-Dose Vitamin C IV Drip Work
High dose vitamin C therapy leads to the formation of hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. When vitamin C is administered intravenously at high doses, it undergoes a chemical reaction in the body, resulting in the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This occurs due to the breakdown of vitamin C (ascorbate) into its oxidized form, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), and subsequent reduction to form hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that plays a role in various physiological processes, including cell signaling and immune response. In the context of high dose vitamin C therapy, the production of hydrogen peroxide is believed to contribute to some of its therapeutic effects, such as its antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
Hydrogen peroxide is believed to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Step 1: Get Started
Before getting an IV drip, you’ll meet with our licensed providers to discuss your cancer diagnosis, treatments, and symptoms, allowing us to tailor your infusion. After determining the right dose for your infusion, we’ll help you schedule your appointments to provide continuous relief as you continue chemotherapy or radiation.
Step 2: Receive Service
A registered nurse will answer any questions you may have before sanitizing your skin and painlessly placing your IV. You’ll then have time to relax as your bloodstream works to absorb this nutrient-dense solution. This typically takes between 1 and 4 hours. You’re welcome to bring a book or headphones to entertain yourself or simply relax.
Step 3: Enjoy Results
After completing your vitamin C infusion in downtown Nashville, you may notice an immediate energy boost. As the vitamin C continues to attack cancerous cells, your results will continue to build over the following days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most cancer cells have low catalase levels, making them more susceptible to hydrogen peroxide-induced damage. After receiving a vitamin C infusion in downtown Nashville, your body will break down its new vitamin supply, converting vitamin C into hydrogen peroxide. As a reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide damages cancer tumors’ DNA tissue while leaving healthy tissue unharmed.
Oral vitamin C supplements contain lower nutrient potencies, which can not create the same hydrogen peroxide reaction as intravenous therapies to damage cancer cells. Besides their lower dosages, they also lose significant power as they travel through your digestive system.
