What if a common vitamin could help cancer patients not only feel better during treatment but also respond more effectively to therapy?
At Venturis Clinic in Oklahoma City, we’re at the forefront of integrative cancer care—blending conventional oncology with advanced supportive therapies. One of the most promising tools in our approach is high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C, particularly when used alongside chemotherapy.
Here’s how this natural compound is gaining recognition in the oncology community.
What Is High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is widely known as a powerful antioxidant. But when delivered intravenously at high doses (typically 25 to 100 grams or more), it behaves differently from the oral form.
IV delivery allows it to reach pharmacologic concentrations in the bloodstream—levels that are impossible to achieve through diet or supplements alone. At these levels, vitamin C has demonstrated selective toxicity to cancer cells in laboratory studies.
How It Works with Chemotherapy
While chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, it often brings harsh side effects—such as fatigue, nausea, immune suppression, and damage to healthy tissues.
High-dose IV vitamin C, when administered under medical supervision, may offer several complementary benefits:
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
- Improves tolerance to chemotherapy
- Protects healthy tissues from collateral damage
- May enhance the anti-tumor effects of certain chemotherapy agents
In tumor tissues, vitamin C can act as a pro-oxidant, generating hydrogen peroxide that selectively harms cancer cells—without affecting healthy ones.
Clinical Evidence Supporting IV Vitamin C
Several Phase I and II clinical trials have studied the synergistic potential of vitamin C in combination with chemotherapy across various cancers, including:
- Ovarian
- Pancreatic
- Breast
- Colorectal
- Glioblastoma
Patients receiving IV vitamin C alongside chemotherapy often report improved energy, appetite, and overall quality of life. Some studies have also indicated longer progression-free survival in specific cancer types.
Is It Safe?
Yes—when administered by trained professionals and with proper screening.
At Venturis Clinic, we perform G6PD enzyme testing prior to treatment to ensure patient safety. Most individuals tolerate high-dose IV vitamin C very well, with few to no side effects. Treatment frequency typically ranges from 2 to 3 sessions per week, depending on the type of cancer and overall patient condition.
