The intravenous infusion of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other supplements provides a higher concentration than if these same supplements were to be taken orally (by mouth). Comparatively, approximately 50% of your oral supplements are absorbed by the intestines and available to the body as opposed to 90% when given intravenously. The truth is most people can absorb enough vitamins and minerals from their diet providing they have a normal digestive system. However, for most of us attaining a balanced diet with all the necessary vitamins and minerals in the correct proportions all the time is not feasible.

Below we will discuss OUR top 10 benefits of IV therapy

1. The IV route is the quickest way to get vitamins and minerals into the body

The traditional vitamins and supplements are taken by mouth and as such, have to be processed through the digestive system and absorbed before it gets to the bloodstream. IV therapy bypasses that step and the nutrients are IMMEDIATELY available for the body to use.

2. Promotes & Supports Cardiovascular Health

Depending on the content of your IV fluids, IV therapy can have a significant effect on your cardiovascular system. For example, certain amino acids like arginine ornithine may help relax your blood vessels which may lower your blood pressure. Certain minerals such as calcium, and magnesium can help regulate the contraction and relaxation of your blood vessels. Additionally, dehydration can cause shock and cause the heart to work harder or even fail if fluid is not quickly administered.

3. Can help treat certain Medical Conditions

Some diseases may limit the absorption of fluids, vitamins, and minerals via the digestive tract which can lead to dehydration, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and fatigue (low energy). Examples of some of these diseases and conditions include but are not limited to gastroenteritis, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. In many of these cases, IV therapy can be lifesaving. IV fluids can also be effective in treating some migraine headaches.

4. Alleviates Hangover

Alcohol can cause your body to lose water and may dehydrate you. It may cause you to feel tired, thirsty, dizzy, and nauseous. This dehydration is one of the main causes of your hangover symptoms. Our tailored infusion can replenish the lost fluid in combination with electrolytes, vitamins, anti-nausea, and anti-inflammatory meds. This will make you feel better in minutes.

5. Natural Energy

Let’s face it. We often neglect our bodies and an unbalanced or unhealthy diet is the main culprit. Who needs artificially formulated energy drinks and potions when you can get our natural solutions of the energy-producing IV essential B vitamins including B12 and amino acids (building blocks of proteins) such as Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)?

6. Powerful Natural Antioxidants

Free radicals can be naturally occurring byproducts of the body that can cause damage to your DNA and have been linked to certain diseases like depression, heart disease, and even cancer. Other free radicals can be released with smoking, radiation, and prolonged sun exposure. Antioxidants like vitamin C and Glutathione are substances that protect your body from those free radicals. Moreover, they can even help protect the body against infection by strengthening the immune system

7. Helps Maintain a Healthy Weight

Obesity is a huge problem in the U.S. In fact, by 2050 half the population is projected to become obese. Obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease with an intricate interplay of behavior, genetics, and the environment. Weight loss may be difficult to attain and maintain even with a healthy eating and exercise regimen. Certain IV supplements can augment your weight loss goals by aiding in the conversion of stored fats to energy. Our formulation includes Vitamin B12, Carnitine (amino acid) as well as ALA to boost metabolism and fat breakdown.

8. Helps Promote Wound Healing

Based on the specific makeup of the nutrient-rich IV cocktail you receive, vitamin & mineral infusions can help with wound healing as well as improve the health and appearance of your skin. The skin is the body’s first line of defense against certain diseases and infections. Here’s what we usually recommend for this drip: Vitamin C, Zinc, Arginine (amino acid), and Glutathione.

9. Promotes Longevity

Glutathione is well known as one of the most powerful naturally occurring antioxidants on the market today. It is usually made by the liver and nervous system and has a host of benefits to your body as a whole. It is gotten a lot of attention over the past several years for its skin-lightening and anti-aging effects. Besides the cosmetic effects, Glutathione helps to repair damaged cells, detoxifies the liver, boosts the immune system, protects against free radicals, and assists in the breakdown of toxins. The Long-Life IV Therapy is the perfect adjunct to promoting longevity as you are loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients for your hair, skin, and nails. This may include Vitamin C, Glutathione, B vitamins, Biotin, Selenium, Calcium, and sometimes NAD+. Vitamin C is great for skin health as it can keep your skin young and glowing. Recent studies have shown that high doses of Vitamin C may have a role in cancer therapy.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and is a naturally occurring molecule found in the cells of almost every living thing. NAD+ helps to convert food to energy and has a major role in maintaining normal DNA while protecting our body from aging and diseases. One commonly used example for simplicity is the analogy of a car being the body while NAD+ represents the gas needed for it to move. Several studies have shown in animal models that there is a significant improvement in life span and reduction of certain diseases with the administration of NAD+

While we believe the IV infusion is superior for the rate of delivery, some people may get nausea, lightheadedness, a slowed heart rate, and/or hypotension and as such will need to be carefully monitored during as well as after the infusion. Other clients may be best served with a slower delivery by obtaining the subcutaneous injection (under the skin like a TB test) while others may obtain a lower IV loading dose with follow-up injections under the skin over time.

10. Reduce or Eliminate Jet Lag

Jet lag is a common but short-lived sleep problem you may get typically after traveling across more than two time zones quickly. Jet lag can make you feel out of sorts due to an abrupt change in your body’s internal clock. Jet lag symptoms can progress with fatigue, insomnia, stomach problems, and mood changes. One of the best ways to combat jet lag is by getting IV therapy the day you land in a new location. We can tailor a solution for you. 

Caution

IV therapy with certain supplements is not for everyone! Hence, a full evaluation, including a detailed medical history is important before we can administer any of these supplements to reduce the incidence of an unwanted outcome. Nonetheless, adverse events can still happen.

There may be a slight amount of pain or itching at the sight of the injection. (We sometimes use a much smaller needle with lidocaine to reduce the discomfort).

There could be bruising, bleeding, and swelling at and around the injection site. (This is typically self-limited)

The IV may become dislodged and fluids could leak into the soft tissues

There is a small risk of infection at the needle site due to the break in the skin. However, this is extremely rare.
