Intravenous Vitamin Treatments Becoming Popular: But Are They Necessary? (Watch) - http://vitaminsandhealthsupplements.com/3568/intravenous-vitamin-treatments-becoming-popular-but-are-they-necessary-watch/
vitamin C appears to be a major part of the IV vitamin cocktail.
I agree with the view that we do not get enough nutrients from our modern diets. I also agree with those of the view getting vitamins intravenously is not necessary for most people. A good quality daily multivitamin suffices. It is also much cheaper, quicker to take and… well, I don't really fancy needles being stuck in me on a regular basis.

They point out that the RDA of vitamin C has traditionally been based on the prevention of the vitamin C deficiency disease, scurvy. And while we view scurvy as a rare occurrence in modern-day developed countries, numerous studies have found that anywhere from 25% to 33% of Americans are vitamin C deficient, even at the current low RDAs. Among some groups, such as college students and seniors, up to 20% are severely deficient.
Instead of using the RDA, we recommend that patients obtain optimal levels of micronutrients. On a daily basis, obtaining 200-400 mg of vitamin C through dietary and supplemental sources is ideal. However, under times of stress such as following surgery, we recommend a higher level, somewhat closer to 1,000 mg daily.

http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0011414
High dose IV vitamin C is in unexpectedly wide use by CAM practitioners. Other than the known complications of IV vitamin C in those with renal impairment or glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, high dose intravenous vitamin C appears to be remarkably safe. Physicians should inquire about IV vitamin C use in patients with cancer, chronic, untreatable, or intractable conditions and be observant of unexpected harm, drug interactions, or benefit.

only i.v. administration can be recommended for those patients in whom a rapid correction is required. Even with the relatively low dose of 2 mg Konakion, the majority of patients showed a marked but incomplete reversal at 24 h. For patients in whom some reduction of intensity of anticoagulation is required without achieving complete or rapid reversal, oral Vitamin K may be prescribed.

Yesterday 10:13 AM - PublicIntravenous (IV) vitamin C infusion therapy may be used as an adjuvant therapy for many health conditions including cancer treatment. Intravenous vitamin C is an immune system booster and has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-histamine properties. Very high doses of vitamin C appears to be toxic (lethal) to cancer cells.
