What is Intravenous Nutrient Therapy?
The causes of disease can be complex, but one thing is clear – our bodies require proper nutrition to fight disease and maintain our health. Combining ordinary nutrition with IV nutrients assures our body will receive 100 percent of the nutrients needed to maintain good health. Intravenous (IV) therapy is a method of feeding vitamins, micro-nutrients, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream.
Did you know that as little as 20% of vitamins taken orally actually make it into the bloodstream and mega dosing vitamins by mouth can cause an upset stomach, acid reflux and diarrhea?
Based on each person’s needs, nutrients can be customized to provide maximum benefit. Nutrient therapy is also much faster than consuming nutrients orally, because the nutrients don’t need to move all the way down to your GI tract and be absorbed before your body can use them. Intravenous administration of nutrients can achieve serum concentrations not obtainable with oral, or even intramuscular (IM), administration.
Intravenous supplements are very safe, beneficial and easy to apply. In about 35-45 minutes you’re up and out and on your way to feeling better. IV therapies are safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapies that are well tolerated by most people. They carry a low risk of transient adverse side effects such as a sensation of warmth and flushing. Some patients may also experience a slight aftertaste of supplements shortly after the infusion. Urine may also have a strong odor or color shortly after completion.
