Immunomodulation for defence against infection and as protection against inflammation through high-dose vitamin C infusion
Vitamin C is one of the body's most important immune modulators, as it activates the body's defences against infection and protects against excessive inflammation.
According to various studies*, vitamin C is crucial for an anti-viral immune response. Our immune system requires a particularly high concentration in order to be able to react appropriately to viruses, among other things.
In China and the USA, high-dose intravenous vitamin C is currently being used to prevent and treat corona-associated pneumonia.
It is not the virus itself, but the excessive inflammatory reaction to the pathogen that damages the immune system and thus increases the risk of a second bacterial infection*.

Three facts about vitamin C:
- Vitamin C is water-soluble and therefore cannot be stored.
- Most animals can produce large amounts of vitamin C themselves in their metabolism.
- Humans have lost this ability in the course of evolution.
Since the body needs vitamin C not itself it must be supplied from outside.
In the case of a vitamin C deficiency that cannot be remedied through diet, infusions are the optimal way to compensate for the deficiency. Vitamin C is absorbed in the small intestine via special transport molecules and channelled into the blood. However, the number of these transporters is limited, which is why only part of the vitamin C quantity reaches the blood. Much more vitamin C is absorbed by our body through an infusion. Such high blood levels cannot be achieved through food and tablets.
