For decades Vitamin C has been the go to vitamin for immune boosting and skin health, and there is good reason behind this. It is also the most well studied micro nutrient! Studies have shown that receiving Vitamin C intravenously can produce levels in the blood many times higher than if taken orally. This method therefor provides a unique advantage over oral supplements, which can struggle to be absorbed from the gut if you have inflammatory gut issues or are deficient in vitamin c

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for humans as our bodies are unable to produce it like other animals do so rely on external sources to supply us with the much needed vitamin.
