Vitamin C IV Therapy in Korea
Myeongdong Umi Skin Clinic
๐ What Is Vitamin C IV Therapy?
Vitamin C IV therapy delivers high-dose vitamin C directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. Because it bypasses digestion, the body can absorb much higher concentrations than with oral supplements.
๐ง Why People Choose Vitamin C IV
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and plays key roles in:
- Immune support — may help reduce the duration or severity of colds
- Antioxidant protection — neutralizes free radicals
- Skin health — may support collagen production and improve radiance
- Recovery boost — faster rehydration & nutrient replenishment
- Fatigue relief — supports energy metabolism
๐งช How It Works
- Consultation: Healthcare provider reviews your medical history and goals.
- IV Setup: A small catheter inserted into a vein (usually in your arm).
- Infusion: Vitamin C solution is delivered over 20–60 minutes depending on dose.
- Completion: Needle removal and a short rest before leaving.
Vitamin C concentrations in IV therapy can range from moderate to high doses (much higher than daily oral intake).
๐ค What It May Help With
People commonly use Vitamin C IV for:
โ Supporting the immune system
โ Boosting energy and recovery
