The Power of High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family is beyond grateful for the care and compassion shown by Minnesota IV Hydration & Wellness during one of the most vulnerable times in our lives. As my loved one was transitioning to hospice care, the team—especially Nurse Katie—treated us with the utmost respect, gentleness, and dignity.
We had started high-dose vitamin C infusions to help support comfort and energy levels, and the mobile service allowed us to stay in the peaceful environment of home. Nurse Katie was not only clinically knowledgeable, but emotionally attuned—always checking in with how we were doing, offering thoughtful education, and honoring our decisions every step of the way.
Even when we shifted to a comfort-focused plan, there was never pressure—just support, understanding, and respect for our journey. I can’t express how much it meant to have healthcare providers who truly care. Minnesota IV Hydration was a light during a very difficult chapter.

How Minnesota IV Hydration & Wellness Is Changing the Way You Heal and Recover
At Minnesota IV Hydration & Wellness in Andover, MN, we believe in the power of evidence-based, integrative therapies to support the body’s natural healing systems. One of the most powerful tools in our IV therapy arsenal is High-Dose Vitamin C (HDVC)—a therapy that’s gaining widespread attention for its immune-boosting, antioxidant, and cellular repair benefits.
But what makes HDVC so unique, and why is it used in everything from cancer care to post-surgical healing?
What Is High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential water-soluble vitamin known for its immune-strengthening and antioxidant properties. But when taken orally, the body can only absorb limited amounts—typically no more than 500–1000 mg at a time due to intestinal absorption limits.
IV delivery bypasses the gut entirely, allowing us to administer therapeutic doses (10g–50g+) directly into the bloodstream, where it can reach concentrations that are simply not possible through diet or supplements alone.
Medical Uses of HDVC
Cancer Support (Integrative Oncology)
High-Dose Vitamin C is widely studied for its role in integrative cancer care. It’s been shown to:
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
- Support mitochondrial function and cellular detox
- Improve quality of life in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
- Reduce treatment side effects such as fatigue, pain, and nausea
Several clinical studies, including those published in Cancer Cell and the NIH database, support the use of HDVC as an adjunctive therapy in oncology.
Note: Always consult your oncologist before starting HDVC alongside cancer treatments.
Surgical Recovery (Including Oral Surgery)
High-dose vitamin C supports tissue repair, collagen production, and immune resilience during pre- and post-surgical phases. It’s particularly beneficial for:
- Post-dental and oral surgeries
- Cosmetic and plastic surgeries
- Infection prevention and wound healing
Safety First: G6PD Testing
Before your first high-dose vitamin C infusion, we will perform a G6PD blood test. This quick test screens for a rare enzyme deficiency that could increase the risk of red blood cell breakdown at high vitamin C levels.
This step ensures safety and reflects our commitment to clinical excellence and individualized care.
