Vitamin C IM Injections – Medical and Aesthetic Benefits

​

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in maintaining overall health and enhancing beauty. This powerful antioxidant is essential for collagen production, immune function, and skin health.

The body cannot produce Vitamin C on its own, so it must be obtained through dietary sources, supplements, or injections. As an antioxidant, Vitamin C helps protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals and supports the body's natural defence mechanisms.

A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables is key to maintaining optimal Vitamin C levels, but supplementation through injections may be beneficial for those with deficiencies or looking for additional aesthetic and health benefits.

 

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements.
