High-concentration Vitamin C Intravenous Infusion
Vitamin C cannot be produced by the body. Even when ingested in large quantities through supplements or other means, only a minimal amount can be absorbed, and the remainder is excreted from the body through urine. Moreover, consuming a large amount of vitamin C orally can enhance the absorption of iron ions that contribute to oxidative damage in the body.
By administering high-concentration vitamin C intravenously, it is possible to rapidly increase the concentration of vitamin C in the bloodstream and allow it to penetrate into individual cells.
Furthermore, it does not promote the absorption of iron ions.

FAQ
- Is there a difference in the effectiveness between consuming a large amount of vitamin C through supplements and receiving high-concentration vitamin C infusion?
- With infusion, vitamin C directly reaches the entire body through the bloodstream, allowing for immediate effects. When taken orally, there is a limit to the amount of vitamin C that can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in the excess being excreted in urine. Infusion delivers vitamin C to every corner of the body, leading to higher effectiveness.
- How long does a high-concentration vitamin C infusion take?
- It is recommended to administer the infusion gradually over time to maintain a high concentration in the bloodstream, which maximizes the benefits for skin health. However, increasing the infusion speed may cause discomfort or pain in the blood vessels.
- Are there any contraindications for receiving high-concentration vitamin C infusion?
- Individuals with G6PD deficiency, those who are pregnant, undergoing dialysis, have poor kidney function, or have extremely poor nutritional status cannot undergo this treatment. It is necessary to undergo a prior examination to determine eligibility.
- What is G6PD deficiency?
- G6PD deficiency is a familial hemolytic anemia inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. It is estimated to affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In Japan, it is a minority condition, affecting only 0.1% to 0.5% of the population. Individuals with G6PD deficiency are at risk of hemolytic anemia attacks if they receive high-concentration vitamin C infusion, hence the requirement for a preliminary examination.
- I am unsure if I have G6PD deficiency.
- You have the option to undergo a G6PD deficiency test (¥6,050). If you are receiving a high-concentration vitamin C drip of 25g or more, undergoing the test is mandatory.
- Are there any side effects?
- High-concentration vitamin C is generally considered a treatment with no side effects, but it may cause drowsiness, fatigue, and thirst.
Side effects, precautions
- Vascular pain and internal bleeding may occur.
- Patients with impaired renal function or those undergoing dialysis cannot receive this treatment.
- Those with G6PD deficiency cannot receive this treatment.
