About this Drip
Vitamin C is the body's primary antioxidant, but humans cannot produce it naturally. While oral supplements are popular, your stomach limits how much you can absorb. This IV therapy bypasses the gut completely, allowing us to administer 15g, 25g, or even 50g directly into your bloodstream. Our patients choose these high-strength infusions to:
Fight off viral infections (cold, flu, Covid recovery).
Boost collagen production for firmer, younger skin.
Support the body during periods of extreme physical or emotional stress.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits For Immunity & Health
The "Pro-Oxidant" Effect: At very high doses, Vitamin C shifts from being just an antioxidant to a pro-oxidant for pathogens, helping the immune system target viruses and bacteria more effectively.
Adrenal Support: Your adrenal glands use more Vitamin C than any other organ, especially when you are stressed. This drip replenishes those stores to fight burnout.
Anti-Inflammation: rapidly lowers systemic inflammation (C-Reactive Protein).
For Skin & Beauty
Collagen Factory: Vitamin C is the essential fuel for fibroblast cells to produce collagen. High doses help plump the skin and reduce fine lines.
UV Repair: Helps repair skin damage caused by sun exposure and pollution
How it works (The Science)
The "Bowel Tolerance" limit prevents you from taking high doses of Vitamin C orally (it causes stomach upset). By using an IV we can bypass this and ensure every cell in your body is bathed in Vitamin C, allowing for deep tissue repair and immune support that is biologically impossible to achieve with diet or pills alone.
The Experience: What to expect
At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective.
Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the formulation is perfectly suited to your needs.
Relaxation: You will be seated comfortably in our clinic. Our experienced clinician will cleanse the area and gently insert a sterile micro-needle.
The Infusion: Depending on your specific formulation, the drip will be administered over 30 to 60 minutes (longer for specialist drips). During this time, you are free to read, work on your phone, or simply close your eyes and relax.
Aftercare: Once finished, the cannula is removed, and a sterile dressing is applied. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients.
Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required.
