Current Events > You ever hear of getting a Vitamin C IV drip?

(+) Yeah! (+)

First time I heard of this today, on a podcast

Anyone ever gotten one? Is this a new thing?

I just looked up an article that says reasons you shouldn't:

5 REASONS NOT TO GET AN IVC VITAMIN DRIP TREATMENT:
#1: IVC IS EXCRETED IN THE URINE WITHIN HOURS
#2: IVC THERAPY PUTS EXCESS STRESS ON THE KIDNEYS AND COULD DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
#3: IVC INCREASES THE RISK OF FORMING KIDNEY STONES, WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY PAINFUL, DEBILITATING AND COSTLY
#4: IV NEEDLES AND CATHETERS CAN CAUSE PAINFUL PHLEBITIS AND INFECTION
#5: COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF IVC THERAPY INCLUDE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS AND MORE

Idk why it has to be in caps

for what? there was a doctor in my area who was pushing for vitamin C infusions to mitigate the risk of sepsis, i think they even did a study to show it didn't actually do anything.

Vitamin C is water soluble. If your body has more than it needs it just gets filtered out of your kidneys.
