Cancer treatment is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding experiences a person can go through. Alongside the fear and uncertainty that often come with a diagnosis, many people experience fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and a weakened immune system. These side effects can linger and make daily life feel even more difficult.
While conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are essential, they often focus solely on the disease itself, not how you're feeling during the process. This leaves many patients asking, “Is there anything I can do to feel better while going through treatment?”
That’s where integrative care comes in.
At Willow London Naturopathic & IV Clinic, one of the supportive therapies we offer is High Dose Vitamin C IV, also known as IVC. This treatment is designed to work in conjunction with your medical care, helping to reduce treatment side effects, support your immune system, and improve your overall energy and quality of life.
If you're feeling depleted or searching for ways to support your body through recovery, this blog will help you understand what IVC is, how it works, and whether it might be a fit for your journey.
What is High Dose Vitamin C IV?
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that helps protect your cells, repair tissue, and support immune function. While you can get vitamin C from food or supplements, only a small amount is absorbed through your digestive system.
IVC delivers vitamin C directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. This method bypasses digestion, allowing your body to utilize much higher concentrations of vitamin C than are possible with oral supplements. These therapeutic levels provide enhanced support during times of illness, recovery, or physical stress.
At high doses, Vitamin C may help create a targeted stress response in cancer cells while supporting healthy tissue. This IV therapy is offered at Willow as part of integrative cancer and immune care.
What Conditions Can High Dose Vitamin C IV Support?
High Dose Vitamin C IV is most commonly used in integrative cancer care. It is currently being explored as a supportive therapy for several cancers, including:
Pancreatic cancer
Ovarian cancer
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Prostate cancer
Brain tumours (such as glioblastoma)
Lung cancer
Colorectal and gastric cancers
If you are undergoing treatment for one of these conditions and are looking for a natural way to support your energy, reduce side effects, and strengthen your immune system, IVC may be a helpful addition to your care plan.
It is important to remember that this therapy is not a substitute for chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It is used as part of a broader, integrative approach to help you feel stronger and more supported during a challenging time.
How Can It Help During Cancer Treatment?
High Dose Vitamin C IV is not a cancer treatment. Instead, it is used as a supportive therapy to help your body cope with the impact of cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.
Many patients find IVC helpful for:
Supporting immune health during treatment
Reducing inflammation and oxidative damage
Improving energy and mental clarity
Managing treatment-related fatigue
Supporting overall recovery and resilience
Some research also suggests that vitamin C may improve quality of life and reduce common side effects, such as nausea or poor appetite, especially when used as part of an integrative care plan.
