Benefits of intravenous vitamin C in humans
Vitamin C supports healthy mitochondrial function by assisting in the proper synthesis of ATP, an energy molecule.
It stimulates the immune system through the production of
interferon, increases the number of natural killer cells, optimizes
phagocytosis and leukocyte migration, providing an immunoprotective effect.
It reduces oxidative damage to p53, a gene called a cell
guardian that works by limiting cancer development.
It has an important effect on the body's defense system by
modulating the activity of cells such as leukocytes and macrophages.
Improves wound healing and reduces warning sign caused by hypersensitive reactions.
It acts in the body as a carrier of oxygen and hydrogen and has an antioxidant effect against the detrimental effects of free radicals associated with the development of tumors, cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
Actively participates in the liver's detoxification
processes, contributing t o the elimination of toxins.
It participates in
the construction of collagen (the main component of cartilage, tendons,
ligaments and bones) as a cofactor and has glycine, lysine and proline as amino
acids.
Vitamin C helps in the conversion of amino acids into
neurotransmitters; therefore, it has an antidepressant effect.
Reduces the production of prostaglandin E2 and, as a result,
the inflammatory response; exhibits systemic anti-inflammatory activity.
It is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones,
essential for healthy aging and responsible for the metabolism and oxidation of
fats (lipids).
Recycle oxidized vitamin E to avoid oxidative action under
these conditions.
It inhibits the formation of nitrosamines (potentially
carcinogenic substances) in the stomach from nitrates, substances found in some
beverages and foods.
Participates in maintaining the integrity of the gums,
bones, teeth and blood vessels.
Increases the organic absorption of iron contained in food.
Effectively combat flu, allergies, asthma, bronchitis and
other respiratory ailments.
Helps neutralize and eliminate all kinds of toxins
accumulated in the body.
It has been used in high doses in patients with AIDS (in
vitro, it inhibits the replication of HIV).
Resisting stress is very important since it is the main
nutrient of the adrenal glands.
Helps diabetics control blood sugar levels and protect
arteries from damage caused by high sugar levels (protein glycosylation).
HEART HEALTH
PROTECTION
Helps control blood pressure.
Increases "good" cholesterol (HDL)
Reduces "bad" cholesterol (LDL)
Limits of Lp (a) (genetic factor of cardiovascular disease)
It inhibits the oxidation of LDL saturated fat, preventing
it from entering the vascular endothelium and limiting arterial obstruction.
Strengthens and makes the walls of the capillaries more
flexible.
It reduces the risk of vascular spasms that can cause heart attacks.
