Vitamin C can be a powerful tool to help build your immune system, protect you from getting viral infections (colds & flu), and provides your immune system ammunition to actually fight infection.
The most powerful form is in an IV form. We do offer IV Vitamin C.
- Hospitals are administering Nutrient IV of 1,500mg* three times a day.
- Phoenix Men’s Health Center can administer Nutrient IV the 1,500mg* three times a day or higher doses if needed.
You may have seen the news about hospitals using Vitamin C to treat Corona Virus. This is a great option for people who are infected, but it also an option for prevention as well.
We are offering Free Telemedicine Consultation with our patients to discuss Vitamin C, Peptides, and other tools you can use to improve your immune system. We are here to help guide you during this difficult time.
