What is Vitamin C IV Drip?
A high-dose vitamin C infusion, well beyond what the digestive system can absorb orally. Supports immune function, antioxidant defence, collagen synthesis, and skin brightening. Double-dosage formula, full-vial dosing with stability testing.
How It Works
The digestive system caps vitamin C absorption at around 200mg regardless of how much is taken orally, the rest is excreted. IV delivery bypasses this limit, pushing plasma levels far higher for therapeutic effect. High-dose vitamin C supports immunity, collagen production, and antioxidant defence in a way oral doses cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why 'double dosage'?
Double-dosage vitamin C is a therapeutic-range dose, well beyond what oral supplements can deliver. Ideal for clients recovering from illness, preparing for high physical demand, or wanting collagen and skin-tone effects that oral vitamin C can't produce.
Is more vitamin C always better?
For most healthy adults, IV vitamin C at this range is safe. Very high doses are contraindicated in G6PD deficiency (a genetic enzyme condition) and should be used carefully with kidney conditions or certain medications. We screen for these before treatment.
How does this compare to the Radiant Skin Glow drip?
Radiant Skin Glow combines high-dose glutathione and vitamin C with amino acids, broader beauty focus. Vitamin C IV is more targeted, ideal when the primary goal is immune support, collagen building, or recovery. Many clients rotate them.
The 'full vial' difference
Other clinics sometimes split a vitamin C vial across sessions. At Ivory, every Vitamin C IV uses the full, double-dosage vial and is stability-tested, the therapeutic dose is consistent every time.
