What should the vitamin C level be?
 

For healthy individuals, 95 mg of vitamin C per day is recommended for women and 110 mg per day for men. In cases of acute illnesses or chronic inflammatory diseases, the vitamin C level is reduced. Smokers also have an increased need for vitamin C.

What are the benefits of an infusion?
 

If a vitamin C deficiency cannot be compensated for through diet, an infusion is an excellent option. High vitamin C levels in the blood can be achieved through infusions, strengthening the over 150 metabolic processes that depend on vitamin C.
