Vitamin C / Ascorbate injections according to Dr. Pall

Fellow users,
I would like to inquire about a possible injectible form of Vitamin C / Ascorbate that could be used according to the Work of Dr. Pall.

High-dose Therapy with Ascorbate, Niacin, Folate and B12: Pauling was Right but for the Wrong Reason
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5b68/f7cb1fd3cc59926e77269b84cbd64385277d.pdf

According to this article, it needs to be given in quite high dosages and thus I.V.

Is there a form that could be given S.C ? The ones I found are mostly maximum of 0.5 - 1mg/ml and thus would indeed require I.V administration.

Also which is the correct "name" of the Vitamin C solution that is needed?
L-ascorbic acid ?

Also Dr. Pall prefers a buffered pH version of Ascorbate.
I assume this is only important for high volume I.V. administration?


I am planning on starting methylB12 injections next week with oral 5-MTHF.
Therefor I would like to try Vitamin C as well.

IV vitamin C has to be pH neutral (no matter the dose), and therefore should be sodium-ascorbate. In practice in the old times it was on made by letting ascorbic acid (all commercial vitamin C ascorbic acid is the L-form, otherwise the D-form sometimes used as food-anti-oxidant with no anti-scorbutic action, should be notified as such) react with sodium bicarbonate in water.

doctoryourself.com has quite some resources: http://www.doctoryourself.com/vitciv.html

In Germany we have "Pascorbin". Maybe you can order it to your country?

Most commercially available vitamin C ampoules are ridiculous low dose. Not worth the effort, since the slight effect of such low dose IVs can be easily superseded by oral mega-dose ascorbic acid intake. Average IV should deliver around 50g of sodium-ascorbate per IV.

Those available in my country (IV or intramuscular injection) are either 50mg/ml or 100mg/ml of ascorbic acid. Package of 10 ampules each 2ml - 1$ US.
To get 50g requires 25 if these packages or 250 ampules or 500ml to be administrated in 24h period, not sure if 500ml per day is still too much to be a viable solution...
