LAS PROPIEDADES DE LA VITAMINA C

Rectal Vitamin C

Rectal administration of sodium ascorbate is a method that can be used in emergencies, and in
developing world circumstances, when IV is unavailable or unsuitable. Nurses can quickly be trained
to mix 15-30 g of sodium ascorbate in 250-500 ml clean water, and give it by enema. It can be safely
and effectively used in children. An enema also removes from the bowel material that may be
challenging. This has been done successfully with aboriginal people in the Australian outback.
