The discovery and isolation of vitamin C was a tremendous
win for science primarily due to its nutritional importance and the fact that
it is not produced by the body and we have to take it from any outside source.
Today vitamin C is readily available and a very accessible nutritional
ingredient in form of dietary supplements. This has not only taken us leaps
forward in managing scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C in the
body. Recently more work is being done on the potential positive effects of
vitamin C on killing cancerous cells. The results of the studies and research
being conducted are groundbreaking so far!
Why use a high dose of
vitamin C in cancer patients?
Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is an essential component of
the human body that it cannot produce itself and has to be taken as a
supplement from outside sources.
Vitamin C not only acts as an antioxidant to help relieve
the body of oxidative stress but also stimulates the production of collagen in
many cases. Vitamin C can be taken as oral supplements or IV injections,
however, given in the form of IV injection, the concentration of vitamin C is
much higher in the blood and its effects more pronounced.
What effect does
high-dose vitamin C IV have on cancerous cells?
High-dose vitamin C has been studied for a long for its
effect on cancerous cells. Studies indicate that high doses of vitamin C tend
to slow down the metastasis of the cancerous cells as well as slow down the
growth of cancer, especially in cases where pancreatic, colon, liver, and
prostate cancer were studied.
The patients who were given this therapy were observed to
enjoy an improved quality of life and betterment in the overall functionality
of the body. These patients were observed to show better outcomes when it came
to both physical and mental capabilities. The side effects of chemotherapy,
like vomiting, nausea, pain and fatigue were also discovered to be much less
compared to people who did not get the therapy.
