At the recent Vitamin C IV Conference (VCICI) in Florida, Dr. Morrison had the honor of lecturing on integrative applications of intravenous Vitamin C therapy, while also discovering a powerful new form of this essential nutrient that’s reshaping how clinicians think about Vitamin C.
Long known for its role in immune health, Vitamin C is emerging as a cornerstone for energy, repair, detoxification, and cellular balance. Among the most exciting developments Dr. Morrison encountered at the conference was a pH-neutral, highly bioavailable form called Sodium Ascorbate- a modern evolution of one of medicine’s safest and most versatile nutrients.
Dr. Morrison returned inspired and eager to share these insights with The Morrison Center community, highlighting how this refined form of Vitamin C can enhance whole-body vitality in both daily wellness and advanced therapeutic care.
A Smarter, Gentler Form of Vitamin C
While traditional ascorbic acid has long been the standard, its acidity can sometimes irritate the digestive tract and limit tolerability at higher doses. Sodium Ascorbate, on the other hand, is pH-balanced at approximately 7.4- the same as your bloodstream. This makes it much gentler on the body while maintaining exceptional potency.
Because of its bioactive and cell-permeable nature, Sodium Ascorbate allows for higher absorption and greater therapeutic range—whether taken orally or administered through IV therapy.
Whole-Body Benefits of Sodium Ascorbate
Beyond immune defense, Sodium Ascorbate supports numerous vital systems that contribute to overall health and longevity.
1. Regulates Oxidative Stress
Neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative damage and enhancing immune resilience.
2. Boosts Mitochondrial Energy
Promotes efficient ATP production—the body’s energy currency—for sustained physical and mental vitality.
3. Promotes Gut and Microbiome Health
Protects gut lining integrity and supports beneficial bacterial balance for improved digestion and immunity.
4. Accelerates Healing and Tissue Repair
Stimulates collagen formation to strengthen skin, joints, and connective tissues.
5. Supports Oral Health
Encourages gum healing, strengthens tooth-supporting structures, and aids in post-surgical recovery.
6. Enhances Cardiovascular Function
Improves circulation, nitric oxide balance, and vascular tone for better endothelial health.
7. Aids Detoxification
Facilitates the clearance of heavy metals, mold, and biotoxins while supporting the liver’s natural detox pathways.
8. Supports Cellular Balance in Cancer Therapy
Acts as a selective antioxidant, protecting healthy cells while exerting mild oxidative pressure on cancer cells—a mechanism of growing interest in integrative oncology.
When Your Body May Be Asking for More Vitamin C
You may benefit from Vitamin C replenishment if you notice symptoms such as:
-
Fatigue or sluggish energy
-
Easy bruising or bleeding gums
-
Slow wound healing
-
Recurrent infections
-
Chronic inflammation or swelling
Even mild deficiency can interfere with how your body heals, detoxifies, and maintains resilience under stress.
High-Dose Vitamin C in Clinical Care
Dr. Morrison’s clinical experience, along with research presented at VCICI, supports the use of higher-dose Vitamin C—particularly via IV infusion—for its wide-reaching effects. Therapeutically, it can:
-
Reduce pain and inflammation
-
Improve insulin sensitivity
-
Support cardiovascular and mitochondrial health
-
Accelerate post-surgical recovery
-
Lower histamine and homocysteine
-
Enhance immune modulation and energy balance
Beyond Immunity: Vitamin C and the Mind-Body Connection
Vitamin C plays a central role in hormone synthesis, thyroid function, bone repair, and brain chemistry. It’s highly concentrated in the adrenal glands, where it supports the body’s stress response and aids in the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine and epinephrine—neurochemicals that influence focus, motivation, and mood.
In this way, Vitamin C contributes not just to physical health, but to emotional balance and mental clarity as well.
How to Use Sodium Ascorbate
Therapeutic benefit depends on the right form, dose, and delivery. Sodium Ascorbate can be used in multiple ways:
-
Oral powders for daily maintenance
-
Mouth rinses or nasal sprays for mucosal support
-
Topical applications for skin or tissue healing
-
IV infusions for intensive therapy
-
Targeted integrative protocols for conditions such as Lyme disease, metabolic syndrome, or post-operative healing
At The Morrison Center, we recommend EssenC Sodium Ascorbate as a high-quality, pH-balanced option:
-
For General Health: 1 packet (or 1 scoop = 4g) in 24 oz water, sipped throughout the day (7am–7pm)
-
For Intensive Support: 1 packet in 24 oz water, twice daily
A New Chapter for an Old Molecule
Reflecting on the conference, Dr. Morrison shared,
“Vitamin C has always been one of the safest and most effective nutrients in medicine. Learning about Sodium Ascorbate opened up a whole new appreciation for how we can use it—more gently, more efficiently, and more powerfully—to support healing on every level.”
Whether used daily for prevention or intravenously for targeted support, Sodium Ascorbate represents a modern, science-driven evolution of Vitamin C therapy. It’s a simple yet profound way to restore balance, enhance energy, and optimize cellular vitality from the inside out.
