An honest assessment

Beyond treating a clinical deficiency, the evidence for high-dose vitamin C — for general “immune boosting” or prevention in healthy adults — is limited. I will discuss honestly what the data supports and what it does not. Important contraindications include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, relevant renal impairment and a tendency to kidney stones — part of the medical consultation before any infusion.

Safety and procedure

The infusion typically runs 30–60 minutes under medical supervision — professionally placed venous access, monitoring throughout, full emergency equipment on site. As a board-certified anaesthesiologist, this is my core specialty. Billed as a private service according to the German GOÄ fee schedule; costs are discussed transparently in advance.

This page provides a first overview. What a treatment specifically means for you — which method, which dosage, which expectation is realistic — belongs in a personal consultation at the practice.
