Megadose vitamin C treatment provides multiple benefits, including a noticeable improvement in physical performance, a significant boost to the immune system, and faster recovery in situations of weakness or post-medical treatments. It can also help improve overall energy, strengthen the body's natural defenses, and support overall health.

The cost of megadose vitamin C treatment can vary depending on the number of sessions and the dosage required. At EWAH by Dra. Lorena Pinzón, we offer competitive prices and personalized consultations to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

The megadose of vitamin C is administered intravenously, allowing for rapid and effective absorption into the body. The high concentration of vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals, improve immune function and stimulate cell regeneration, contributing to greater vitality and overall health. It is an ideal choice for improving physical well-being and supporting recovery in cases of weakness or cancer treatment.

Megadose vitamin C treatment is performed through an intravenous infusion that usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. At EWAH by Dra. Lorena Pinzón, we make sure to provide a comfortable and safe experience, adapting the dosage and frequency of treatment to the individual needs of each patient to obtain the best results.

Intravenous vitamin C has multiple benefits for skin and anti-aging: it stimulates collagen synthesis (improving skin firmness and elasticity from within), acts as a potent antioxidant neutralizing free radicals that cause cellular aging, improves skin luminosity and tone uniformity, reduces hyperpigmentation and spots through its tyrosinase-inhibiting effect, accelerates skin recovery after aesthetic procedures, and protects cells from oxidative damage by UV radiation and environmental pollution.

Intravenous vitamin C is generally very safe and well tolerated. Side effects are rare and include: mild burning sensation at the injection site during infusion, mild nausea if the infusion is too fast, and post-infusion fatigue on the day of treatment. Contraindications include: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD, risk of hemolysis with high doses), significant kidney failure, oxalosis, and prior calcium oxalate kidney stones. At EWAH we conduct a complete evaluation and, if necessary, laboratory tests before starting treatment.

At EWAH the intravenous vitamin C protocol is personalized according to each patient's objectives: for general immune strengthening, 4-6 initial sessions spaced once a week are recommended, followed by monthly maintenance sessions; for sports recovery or competition preparation, sessions according to the sports calendar; for oncological support, the protocol is defined in coordination with the treating oncologist; and for anti-aging and general well-being, 1 session every two weeks or monthly. Each session takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

The groups that benefit most from intravenous vitamin C at EWAH are: high-performance athletes (to accelerate muscle recovery and improve performance), people with weak immune systems or who get sick frequently, patients in post-surgical recovery or with wounds needing accelerated healing, people receiving oncological treatment (as complementary support, consult with oncologist), people suffering from chronic fatigue or intense stress, and people seeking cellular anti-aging and improvement of skin quality from within.

Intravenous vitamin C at EWAH is significantly more effective than oral supplements because it avoids the limitations of gastrointestinal absorption. By oral route, the body can absorb a maximum of 20-30% of the vitamin C ingested; the rest is eliminated. By intravenous route, 100% of the vitamin C reaches the bloodstream directly, achieving plasma concentrations up to 70 times higher than with oral supplements. These high concentrations are necessary to obtain the most potent antioxidant, immunostimulant and therapeutic effects of vitamin C.
