High-dose vitamin C
High-dose vitamin C cancer treatment, also known as intravenous vitamin C (IVC) therapy, is an integrative cancer treatment that involves administering vitamin C at much higher doses than the recommended daily allowance (RDA).
High-dose vitamin C can produce hydrogen peroxide, a compound that may selectively damage cancer cells while sparing normal cells.
High-dose vitamin C also may enhance the body's immune system, helping it fight against cancer.
