Vitamin C Boost 2.5g IV Push
2,500mg of Ascorbic Acid Administered as a Direct IV Push for Maximum Immune Activation, Cellular Protection, and Antioxidant Defense.

Quick Benefit Highlights
- High-Dose Immune Activation: At 2.5 grams, this IV push reaches blood concentrations that stimulate white blood cell production and function at a level no oral supplement can achieve; the intestine caps vitamin C absorption well below this threshold
- The Most Powerful Antioxidant Add-On on Our Menu: 2,500mg of circulating ascorbic acid neutralizes the free radicals and oxidative stress that damage cells, degrade collagen, suppress immune function, and accelerate visible aging
- Collagen Synthesis Support at Scale: Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for collagen production. At therapeutic IV concentrations, it delivers the building blocks for skin, bone, cartilage, and blood vessel repair that topical products and oral supplements cannot match
- Immediate Bioavailability, No Gut Required: IV push bypasses intestinal absorption entirely. Every milligram of the 2,500mg dose reaches the bloodstream directly, producing blood levels that trigger biological responses oral vitamin C at any dose cannot replicate
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
There Is a Reason High-Dose Vitamin C Is Administered by IV. This Is Why.
Vitamin C has a well-documented and frustrating pharmacokinetic limitation when taken orally: the higher the dose, the lower the percentage your body actually absorbs. At 200mg, oral absorption is reasonably efficient. At 1,000mg, absorption drops substantially. At 2,500mg oral, most of the dose passes through the intestine unabsorbed, drawing water into the colon and producing the GI distress that high-dose oral vitamin C is known for. The blood concentration you can achieve through oral supplementation, regardless of the dose, is physiologically capped.
IV administration bypasses this ceiling entirely. When 2,500mg of ascorbic acid is delivered directly into the bloodstream as an IV push, the full dose enters circulation immediately. Blood plasma levels achieved through IV are not just higher than oral — they are fundamentally different in kind. The biological responses that occur at these concentrations, including the direct stimulation of immune cell activity and the generation of hydrogen peroxide in high concentrations in extracellular fluid, are not accessible through any oral route.
At Vitality Infusions, the Vitamin C Boost 2.5g is the highest-dose Vitamin C IV push on our menu. It is five times the dose of our standard 500mg Vitamin C IM injection and is delivered directly into your IV line during any compatible infusion session. It takes approximately five minutes to administer and elevates the protective scope of any infusion it accompanies significantly.
Ideal For:
- Clients who want the most powerful immune support add-on available and are already booking an IV infusion
- Anyone fighting an active illness, recovering from infection, or wanting to mount the strongest possible immune defense before high-exposure situations
- Those focused on skin health, anti-aging, and collagen support who want therapeutic vitamin C concentrations that topical and oral products cannot deliver
- Clients pairing with the Myers’ Cocktail or Immunity Infusion who want to supercharge the vitamin C component of their session
- High-performance clients managing heavy physical or cognitive workloads who want comprehensive antioxidant protection against oxidative stress
- Anyone who has used the standard 500mg Vitamin C IM and wants to step up to a dose with a meaningfully broader biological impact
How You’ll Feel:
Many clients notice a noticeable sense of vitality and mental clarity during and after infusion sessions that include the 2.5g Vitamin C push, particularly when combined with the Myers’ Cocktail or Immunity Infusion. Those using it proactively before travel, illness exposure, or demanding periods report getting through them with fewer sick days and faster recovery when they do get ill. For clients focused on skin and anti-aging, the collagen support from consistent high-dose vitamin C sessions tends to produce gradual but visible improvements in skin texture and brightness over a series of treatments.

Why 2.5 Grams IV Is Categorically Different from Oral Vitamin C
The pharmacokinetics of vitamin C are unique among water-soluble vitamins. Oral vitamin C is absorbed through sodium-dependent transporters in the small intestine that become saturated at relatively low doses. Once saturated, additional vitamin C passes through to the colon where it causes osmotic diarrhea, the well-known side effect of high-dose oral supplementation. The net result is that regardless of how large an oral dose you take, peak plasma vitamin C concentrations are tightly limited by intestinal physiology.
Intravenous vitamin C bypasses this saturation point entirely. A 2.5g IV push produces plasma concentrations that are orders of magnitude higher than any oral dose can achieve. At these concentrations, ascorbic acid acts as a pro-oxidant in extracellular fluid, generating hydrogen peroxide that is selectively toxic to stressed or abnormal cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed due to their higher catalase activity. This mechanism is why IV Vitamin C has been studied extensively in oncology support settings and why it is considered a fundamentally different intervention from oral supplementation rather than simply a higher dose of the same thing.
For the wellness context at Vitality Infusions, the clinically relevant effects at 2.5g IV include significantly amplified immune cell stimulation, dramatically increased antioxidant activity in circulating plasma, and enhanced cofactor availability for collagen synthesis in connective tissue throughout the body.
Key Benefits
- Achieves plasma vitamin C concentrations that are not attainable through any oral dose due to intestinal absorption limits
- Directly stimulates the production and activity of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and natural killer cells at therapeutic concentrations
- Provides powerful antioxidant neutralization of free radicals and oxidative stress throughout circulating plasma
- Delivers the cofactor concentration required for meaningful collagen synthesis support in skin, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels
- Regenerates oxidized glutathione, extending the effectiveness of the body’s master antioxidant system
- Reduces the duration and severity of upper respiratory infections when administered during or around illness
- Administered as a brief IV push through your existing catheter — no additional needle, no added appointment time
Who Is It For?
The Vitamin C Boost 2.5g IV push is appropriate for any healthy adult who is already booking an IV infusion and wants to significantly enhance its immune and antioxidant benefit. Please consult your nurse before booking if you have a history of kidney stones, G6PD deficiency, iron overload conditions, or active kidney disease, as high-dose IV vitamin C requires additional consideration in each of these cases.
Important Notes
High-dose IV Vitamin C is well tolerated by most clients. Some individuals experience mild flushing, a brief sensation of warmth, or a slight metallic taste during administration, all of which are temporary and resolve quickly. The push is administered slowly to minimize discomfort. Please disclose all current medications, any history of kidney stones or G6PD deficiency, and any known sensitivities to your nurse before your session. Results vary by individual. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
What to Expect: Your Session
- Book with Any Compatible Infusion: Select the Vitamin C Boost 2.5g add-on when booking your Myers’ Cocktail, Immunity Infusion, or other compatible IV session. Your nurse will confirm it is appropriate at check-in.
- IV Push During Your Infusion (Approx. 5 Minutes): At the appropriate point in your session, your nurse administers the 2,500mg ascorbic acid as a controlled IV push through your existing catheter. Most clients notice a brief cooling sensation in the arm and feel the session subtly elevate from that point forward.
- Continued Benefit After Your Session: The antioxidant and immune effects of high-dose vitamin C persist in the body well beyond the infusion. Clients frequently report that sessions with the 2.5g vitamin C push feel qualitatively more impactful in terms of energy, mental clarity, and immune resilience in the days that follow.
