HIGH-DOSE VITAMIN C (HDIVC)
Advanced Therapeutic Infusion Program
High-Dose Vitamin C (HDIVC) is a specialized infusion therapy that follows a structured protocol, including laboratory review, medical clearance, and individualized dosing. Unlike standard wellness infusions, HDIVC requires additional screening and monitoring to ensure safety and appropriateness.
WHAT IS HDIVC?
High-Dose Vitamin C is administered intravenously at concentrations significantly higher than can be achieved through oral supplementation. At therapeutic doses, Vitamin C behaves differently than it does when taken by mouth and is utilized in a variety of integrative and supportive care settings.
At Driftless, HDIVC is considered an advanced therapeutic infusion and is not treated as a standard wellness service.
WHY DRIFTLESS?
Not all HDIVC programs are created equally.
Our protocol includes laboratory review, individualized assessment, dose titration, and ongoing monitoring. Treatment decisions are based on safety, clinical appropriateness, and individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before treatment, every client undergoes screening to evaluate factors such as:
• G6PD status
• Kidney function
• Blood chemistry
• Overall treatment suitability
• Additional laboratory markers when clinically indicated
This structured approach helps ensure that treatment is delivered safely and according to established protocols.
WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM HDIVC?
HDIVC is commonly explored by individuals seeking advanced wellness support or those pursuing integrative care approaches under the guidance of their healthcare team.
Because goals and circumstances vary significantly from person to person, all individuals are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
STEP 1
Medical Clearance & Consultation
A provider reviews your health history, goals, medications, and any potential contraindications.
STEP 2
Laboratory Review
Required laboratory testing must be completed prior to treatment.
Labs must be completed within 30 days of treatment.
STEP 3
Starting Dose
Most individuals begin with a lower therapeutic dose to evaluate tolerance and response.
STEP 4
Dose Titration
If appropriate, dosing may be gradually advanced according to protocol and laboratory findings.
STEP 5
Ongoing Monitoring
Treatment plans and dosing decisions are continually guided by safety considerations and individual response.
LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS
Required laboratory review includes evaluation of:
• G6PD status
• Kidney function
• Complete blood count
• Comprehensive metabolic assessment
Additional laboratory markers may be required based on medical history, treatment goals, and provider review.
Laboratory testing must be current within 30 days of treatment.
