Vitamin C can protect the human body from the threat of oxidation, anti-inflammation, activate the immune system and protect the skin, so vegetables, fruits and health products rich in vitamin C are also very popular. In recent years, the therapy of injecting vitamin C supplementation has received attention, which is called high-dose vitamin C therapy. What are the benefits of this therapy? What precautions?

The powerful effects of vitamin C: anti-fatigue, blood vessel protection, anti-cancer

● Effectively eliminate fatigue

Why do modern people often feel tired? There are actually 3 main reasons:

overuse: Working or studying for a long time will quickly consume the neurotransmitters in the brain, causing a feeling of fatigue.

Improper diet: For example, often eating big fish and meat, fried food or alcohol will cause accumulation of oxidized metabolic waste in the body or blood circulation will become poor due to vascular disease, which will make people feel tired.

cold or overwork: Both can cause inflammation and cause fatigue.

And vitamin C has a very good effect on alleviating these three types of fatigue. First, vitamin C can restore some neurotransmitters, such as dopamine or serotonin, and restore normal brain function.

In addition, vitamin C can also remove metabolic wastes that cause blood vessel damage or poor dilation, so that the blood circulation of the human body is smooth, and with better blood circulation, it is naturally not easy to fatigue.

Moreover, vitamin C has long been found to have an antioxidant effect, which can help metabolize the oxidative substances produced by inflammation. Therefore, whether it is mental stress, bad habits or fatigue caused by overwork, vitamin C can well relieve it and rejuvenate people.

● Many benefits to cardiovascular

In addition to relieving fatigue, high doses of vitamin C have several benefits in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

1. Improve hyperlipidemia and hypertension:First, studies have shown that adequate vitamin C supplementation lowers blood pressure by about 5 mm Hg [1].Other studies have also shown that consuming large amounts of vitamin C before eating a large meal can reduce the rise in postprandial cholesterol, especially oxidized cholesterol that easily damages blood vessel walls – vitamin C fights oxidation and converts bad cholesterol into a beneficial form , Improve hyperlipidemia and hypertension[2]

2. Prevent arteriosclerosis: Vitamin C can also protect vascular endothelial cells and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.Atherosclerosis is the root cause of many cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease[3]

3. Reduce myocardial infarction damage: Myocardial infarction is a condition in which a large area of ​​heart muscle dies due to blockage of a blood vessel in the heart.Studies by foreign scholars have pointed out that supplementing a large amount of vitamin C during myocardial infarction can reduce the necrosis of heart muscle, which has been confirmed in many animal experiments[4]

4. Reduce cardiac catheterization injuries: Vitamin C helps recovery from cardiac catheterization. Cardiac catheterization can lead to poor heart function, especially when the blood vessel is unblocked and the circulatory supply is restored—excessive oxygen supply can trigger oxidative reactions that damage the heart muscle.Vitamin C supplementation before and after cardiac catheterization may increase procedure safety and reduce risk of myocardial injury, researchers suggest[5]

5. Reduce COVID-19 damage: In recent years, studies have found that new coronary pneumonia can cause inflammation throughout the body, especially the lungs, heart and blood vessels—about half of patients with myocardial infarction have had an inflammatory response.High doses of vitamin C can inhibit inflammation, protect the heart from damage, and reduce the risk of cardiac arrest in critically ill patients[6]

● Fight cancer side effects

In recent years, the status of vitamin C in cancer treatment has changed from a niche to a mainstream: mainstream cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy may cause damage, and high doses of vitamin C can help alleviate the side effects of treatment by inhibiting inflammation, and Side effects are relatively minor. Many clinical institutions and cancer centers have begun to use vitamin C to relieve the side effects of standard cancer treatment, and it can also reduce fatigue and improve energy in cancer patients when their physical condition declines.

Additionally, research suggests that vitamin C may directly fight cancer cells in some cancers, but research in this area is still evolving. Regardless, the use of vitamin C in the field of cancer treatment has yielded results that were previously unanticipated—that a common nutrient could play such an important role in cancer treatment.

There are also studies showing that vitamin C is also good for allergies and skin redness. In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin C’s molecular structure helps inhibit the release of histamine, the substance that causes allergic reactions and redness. Vitamin C’s natural properties make it an antihistamine, so taking or injecting vitamin C can go a long way toward reducing allergic reactions, especially redness and swelling after sun exposure.

Supplement vitamin C 3 ways to inject and absorb well

The usual way of vitamin intake is to eat fruits and vegetables and health products, so how is this different from supplementing vitamin C through injections?

● oral

As we all know, eating fruits and vegetables is the most common way to supplement vitamin C. However, vitamin C is very susceptible to high temperature damage, and we Chinese often cook vegetables at high temperatures in our diet, which will almost deplete the vitamin C in fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is recommended that in addition to eating more fruits every day, you can also eat some lettuce salad.

● lozenges

In the early days of sailing, because sailors could not take in vitamin C on board, they were often prone to scurvy, which made people so fatigued that they could hardly walk, and even died from bleeding all over the body. Therefore, people began to study how to make vitamin C portable-and vitamin C lozenges were born. Currently, common vitamin C pills usually contain 0.5 grams or 1 gram each. This is because the stomach can’t handle too much vitamin C, which can lead to diarrhea.

● Injection

Now the newly developed vitamin C injection supplement method can inject 5⁓50 grams at a time, and patients with special needs can inject 100 grams at a time, which is equivalent to 100 times the oral dose. Does not irritate the stomach and can be almost completely absorbed.

Three types of high-dose injection vitamin C therapy should be used with caution

General self-supplementation of vitamin C may not be risky, but high-dose vitamin C injections still require attention.Although there are not many side effects, some people may experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms, which are related to the concentration of vitamin C and the speed of injection.The location of the intravenous local injection also needs to be careful, otherwise it may cause discomfort and inflammation. Treatment must be carried out in a medical institution with the assistance of a doctor. As for which conditions are suitable for high-dose vitamin C treatment: At present, most people can consider it, but it is recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase it, subject to the doctor’s evaluation.

However, there are three situations in which high-dose vitamin C therapy is recommended to be avoided.

1、Patients with favism (G-6-PD deficiency): Due to insufficient enzymes in the body, vitamin C cannot be metabolized, so it is not suitable for treatment.

2、Patients with Hemochromatosis: Because there is a lot of iron in the body, it may cause adverse reactions when combined with vitamin C, so it is not recommended for treatment.

3、Patients on severe water restriction: Because high-concentration vitamin C injection needs to enter the body, this kind of people may not be suitable for this situation.

Doctors need to adjust the dosage and number of drops according to the patient’s condition, and carefully evaluate the appropriate treatment method. For suitable patients, the doctor will adjust the injection dose and the number of drops to ensure the safety of the treatment.
