IV vitamin C Therapy in Los Angeles

vitamin C is essential for collagen formation, immune defense, tissue repair, and protection against oxidative stress. As a potent antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals generated by environmental toxins, poor diet, and chronic inflammation. Because the body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, adequate levels are critical for maintaining optimal health. At Health & Vitality Center in Los Angeles, Dr. Shiva Lalezar follows established high-dose vitamin C protocols, including those historically used in integrative oncology settings, to deliver therapeutic concentrations intravenously. By bypassing the digestive system, IV vitamin C allows for significantly higher absorption rates than oral supplementation while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. Schedule your IV vitamin C therapy at Health & Vitality Center to strengthen immunity and support healing at the cellular level.

They may cause cancer, heart disease, and other diseases.

vitamin C can prevent damage from free radicals and protect your body against disease.

Why Should You Receive IV Vitamin C Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is the most efficient way to absorb the treatment. vitamin C pills taken orally can lead to gastrointestinal problems due to the effect of unabsorbed vitamin C in the gastrointestinal tract. With the IV, 90-100% of the dose is absorbed as opposed to 50% orally.

At the Health and Vitality Center in Los Angeles, Dr. Lalezar will obtain a complete history from you before deciding what the best dosage of IV vitamin C is to support your medical condition.

Before starting high-dose IV vitamin C therapy, the G6PD level is checked. G6PD is an enzyme necessary to process vitamin C . If it’s abnormal, patients won’t be able to receive high-dose vitamin C because hemolytic anemia may occur.
