Many people swear by Vitamin C during the cold winter days to prevent colds and support our immune system. However, we should pay attention to our Vitamin C intake not only during the colder seasons. At My Health & Beauty, our competent team of doctors helps you take care of your health in just 20 minutes!
You might be wondering now exactly what Vitamin C infusions are good for and what benefits they offer. Below, we briefly present the most important facts about probably the most popular vitamin!
-
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the human body, especially as an antioxidant substance.
-
The body absorbs so-called "free radicals" or "oxidants" from the environment and an unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking. These destroy healthy cells, which can trigger many diseases. An antioxidant (like Vitamin C) can slow down or completely prevent the oxidation of other substances.
-
This means that antioxidant substances like Vitamin C are of high importance to counteract the harmful substances in the body. Therefore, anyone who wants to stay healthy should ensure that the body has a functioning immune system. Thus, Vitamin C is indispensable for maintaining our body's health.
Background: What you should know about a Vitamin C infusion
With an infusion, you absorb the administered nutrient through the blood vessels. We choose the intravenous method for the administration of Vitamin C. What's special about the Vitamin C infusion is that you're given a high dose of Vitamin C. Within 20 minutes, you can relax in our comfort lounges while your body absorbs the full load of vitamins.
When should you resort to a Vitamin C infusion?
Basically, a Vitamin C infusion is good for everyone! However, we often only turn to supplements when it's already too late and we notice the first signs of deficiency. Typical deficiency symptoms include, for example,
-
A weak immune system
-
Persistent fatigue
-
A slow wound healing process
-
Rough and dry skin
-
Tendency to bruise
-
Bleeding gums

VITAMIN C INFUSION
These deficiencies occur when the body's own vitamin reserves are depleted and the intake through food is not sufficient to meet the body's needs. Since the body is unable to produce Vitamin C itself, it relies on a vitamin-rich diet. However, for many people, a balanced diet, such as consuming fresh fruits and vegetables daily, is often not enough. Many people suffer from an impaired gastrointestinal tract (chronic, due to antibiotic therapies, stress...) and the associated reduced absorption of Vitamin C. To prevent deficiency symptoms and reduce the risk of diseases, we should proactively ensure that our Vitamin C stores are completely filled!
Why should you opt for a Vitamin C infusion with us rather than just taking typical tablets or eating the right food?
Vitamin C is water-soluble, so larger amounts are lost even when washing fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, cutting, grating, and pureeing accelerate the enzymatic breakdown of Vitamin C. Taking capsules or powder is a common method for many people to meet their Vitamin C needs. However, the disadvantage is that many nutrients are often lost because the amount of Vitamin C the body can absorb through the gastrointestinal tract is limited and can vary greatly from person to person. That's why at My Health & Beauty we resort to the Vitamin C infusion, which goes directly into the bloodstream, ensuring you the maximum possible absorption of Vitamin C.
How often should I get a Vitamin C infusion?
The body cannot store Vitamin C. Therefore, people must constantly replenish their Vitamin C stores. Since Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, excess Vitamin C is excreted. Thus, you don't need to worry about an overdose. In general, the frequency of Vitamin C administration is based on clinical findings. However, you can come to us for an infusion every 2 to 4 weeks without any findings. You also don't need to worry about tolerability, as Vitamin C infusions are generally very well tolerated.
