IV Therapy

What is intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy? It is the infusion of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other natural substances directly into the vein for the purposes enhancing treatment efficacy.

What are the advantages of IV nutrient therapy? There are many advantageous to IV nutrient therapy including much faster delivery and enhanced bioavailability of nutrients.

  • The nutrients are made immediately available for the body’s use as compared to the possible delay of few hours if they were taken orally. This allows recovery to take place at a faster rate.
  • A much higher concentration of vitamins and minerals can be reached in the blood since the infused nutrients don’t have to go through the stomach, intestines and liver. Absorption of nutrients is a complex and lengthy process starting from the mouth to the blood stream. IV nutrient therapy is a way to bypass the digestive system and achieve instant bioavailability for the purposes of more effective healing.

Who can benefit from IV nutrient therapy? IV nutrient therapy is beneficial if you suffer from any health condition that compromises your digestive system and absorption of nutrients, if you require higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals or if you need an immediate effect to address an acute condition for speedy recovery. Below is a list of some conditions that may benefit from IV nutrient therapy.

  • Acute conditions such as migraine headaches and painful menstruation
