Frequently Asked Questions
What does Vitamin C do?
Vitamin C has a range of functions, including support for your immune system and maintaining normal skin health. It is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, especially in times of stress or illness. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production and absorption of other vital micronutrients too. It helps your body absorb iron, contributing to anaemia prevention, and is involved in regenerating the reduced form of Vitamin E – another micronutrient with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, water-soluble Vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen, a protein plays an vital role in building and supporting many tissues: from bones and cartilage to skin, hair, eyes, gums and blood vessels.
Signs that you may not be getting enough Vitamin C include: fatigue and weakness, dry skin and hair, irritability, slow wound healing, getting ill frequently, bruising easily, bleeding gums and anaemia.
What does Vitamin A do?
Vitamin A, otherwise known as retinol, has antioxidant properties similar to Vitamin C / Glutathione that helps protect cells against oxidative stress and damage caused by environmental toxins. It also serves several other important functions in your body, contributing to:
– Normal iron metabolism
– Maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes
– Maintenance of normal vision
– Normal function of the immune system
– The process of cell specialisation/differentiation
Good dietary sources of Vitamin A include cheese, eggs, oily fish, liver, milk and yoghurt.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, otherwise known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble Vitamin that is found naturally in citrus and other fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, and broccoli. Since our bodies cannot make or store Vitamin C, it is important that we obtain enough of it through our diets and by taking supplements. Not only is it an essential micronutrient, Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by illness, inflammation, and environmental toxins such as pollution and ultraviolet (UV) light.
What does Vitamin B do?
There are 7 different B Vitamins that we offer here at Get A Drip: B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), Biotin (B7), and B12 (Cobalamin- we offer three different forms). We do not currently offer Folate (Vitamin B9).
Each of these B Vitamins are essential micronutrients that play a vital role in helping you maintain good health and wellbeing. They are essential for your overall bodily function, helping support areas such as: energy levels, normal nerve function, eyesight, muscle health, brain function, digestion, immunity, cardiovascular health, cell health and division, hormonal balance, red blood cell formation, skin, and much more.
The richest sources of B Vitamins are animal-based: meat (especially organ meats), fish, poultry, seafood, eggs, and dairy products. This is why people who eat a primarily plant-based diet are more susceptible to Vitamin B deficiencies. Other risk factors include the use of certain medications, and pre-existing health conditions such as digestive issues or excessive alcohol use.
Signs you may not be getting enough B Vitamins include: fatigue, low energy, getting ill often, cracks on and around the lips, anaemia, irritability or depression, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, and poor skin health. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see your GP and have some diagnostic blood tests done.
How can I support my immune system?
Eating a healthy and balanced diet is crucial for maintaining your immune system. Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, are particularly key in helping support normal immune function. Getting enough sleep is also important for keeping your immune system fighting fit.
Avoid smoking and passive smoke inhalation. This will aid in protecting your mucus membranes, nasal passages, mouth, throat, and lungs. Practice sensible alcohol consumption and avoid binge drinking also.
Make sure you get enough rest and sleep to keep your immune system healthy, and stay well-hydrated too.
How do I take Glutathione effectively?
While IV and IM Glutathione is already effective by itself, there are certain things you can do to help maximise its benefits for your health and wellbeing.
We would recommend combining IV Glutathione with Vitamin C, as Vitamin C helps to recycle Glutathione, thus increasing its effective duration within your body. Since Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, it maintains the body’s supply of other antioxidants (including Glutathione) by contributing to the neutralisation of free radicals and combating oxidative stress.
We would also suggest combining IV Glutathione with Selenium, because Selenium is both an essential mineral and a Glutathione cofactor, meaning it is a necessary substance for Glutathione activity. An increased intake of Selenium may help maintain and even increase the amount of Glutathione in your system.
