HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C
WHAT IS ALPHA LIPOIC ACID?
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in the body. ALA is often
referred to as the “universal antioxidant.” It supports vital functions at the cellular level,
such as producing energy and protecting your cells from damage. The body has the ability
to produce ALA. It is also found in dietary sources, such as red meat, organ meat (liver, heart,
kidney, etc.), broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, brussels sprouts, and yeast. Once administered,
ALA is readily absorbed and distributed throughout all major organs.
Alpha lipoic acid strengthens the body's defenses by recycling and enhancing other antioxidants in the
body, such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione. ALA works in the mitochondria and is a
vital part of the conversion of glucose to energy. Glucose requires insulin to get into cells. ALA mimics
insulin, improving both glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This simply means that more
glucose is transported into the cells rather than being stored as fat. ALA also improves the conversion
of carbohydrates to energy, which reduces the amounts available to be converted to fats.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY VITAMIN C IS LOW?

- Fatigue
- Muscle Weakness
- Joint & Muscle aches
- Swollen, Bleeding gums

- Dry. Scaly skin
- Slow wound healing
DO ALPHA LIPOIC ACID INFUSION TAKE LONGER?
Sometimes, YES! A high-dose Vitamin C infusion typically takes 60-120 minutes, depending on the dose and the individual’s tolerance. Lower doses (10-25 Grams) may take about 1 hour, while higher doses (up to 50 Grams or more, administered under medical supervision) can take up to 2 hours or longer to safely infuse.
The slower infusion rate allows your body to absorb the Vitamin C effectively while minimizing the risk of discomfort, such as vein irritation or lightheadedness. Each session is performed in a comfortable setting and monitored by medical staff to ensure safety and optimal results.
