High-Dose Vitamin C IV Drip Therapy
High-Dose Vitamin C IV drips are a powerful therapy designed to deliver concentrated levels of vitamin C directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, allowing for much higher doses than oral intake. Known for its antioxidant properties, vitamin C supports the immune system, combats oxidative stress, and promotes collagen production. High-dose therapy often aids recovery from illness, supports skin health, and enhances overall wellness.
Why Testing?
Why We Test for G6PD Before High-Dose Vitamin C Infusions
At Halo Health, your safety is our top priority. Before having a high-dose Vitamin C infusion, we perform a simple blood test to check for G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) deficiency.
What is G6PD?
G6PD is a natural enzyme in your red blood cells. Its job is to help protect these cells from certain types of stress. Most people have enough G6PD to keep their red blood cells healthy.
Why does it matter for Vitamin C infusions?
When given in high doses, Vitamin C can create an extra “oxidative” load in the bloodstream. If you have low G6PD levels, your red blood cells may not cope well with this, which can lead to them breaking down too quickly — a serious condition called haemolytic anaemia.
What does the test involve?
It’s a quick, one-time blood test. If your G6PD level is normal, you can safely proceed with high-dose Vitamin C therapy. If it’s low, we’ll discuss alternative doses or other treatment options that are safe for you.
Our commitment to you
This test is part of our medical screening to ensure every treatment is tailored to your needs and delivered to the highest safety standards.<.span>
Who Can Use High-Dose Vitamin C IV Drips?
High-Dose Vitamin C IV drips are suitable for individuals seeking a robust immune boost or enhanced antioxidant support. They are often used during recovery from colds, flu, or other illnesses, as well as for people exposed to high levels of stress or environmental toxins. This therapy is also popular for its potential skin-rejuvenating effects and as an adjunctive treatment in certain chronic conditions. A healthcare consultation ensures the treatment is appropriate for individual needs and health conditions.
Our IV Vitamin Drips and Injections are generally suitable for individuals looking to support their overall wellness, address nutritional gaps, stay hydrated, or boost energy levels—such as athletes, frequent travelers, or those recovering from wellness challenges. For your safety, a brief consultation helps ensure the treatment aligns with your personal wellness needs
While IV vitamin therapies are generally considered safe when conducted by trained professionals, individual experiences may vary. Some people may notice minor, temporary discomfort. In rare cases, more significant concerns may occur, which is why consultation and proper guidance are important. Qualified staff follow safety protocols to help ensure a positive and comfortable experience.
All IV Drips and Injections at Halo Health are administered by our qualified and experienced healthcare professionals—such as registered nurses, nurse prescribers, or doctors—trained in intravenous therapy. We uphold the highest standards to ensure your comfort and safety.
