IV THERAPY

1. You deliver vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into the cells.

With the use of IV therapy, you do not have to wait for the IV compound to pass through the liver and digestive system. Instead, nutrients are inserted through the veins, entering your bloodstream. As a result, vitamins and minerals (e.g vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin D, etc.) are immediately conveyed to the cells, making them promptly available for the body.

2. Patients may experience fewer side effects compared to consuming oral supplements.

In contrast to swallowing high-dosed oral supplements (i.e. vitamin C and magnesium) patients who have undergone IV therapy have reported fewer side effects. Unlike intravenous therapy, swallowing high-dosed supplements may result in diarrhea, nausea, or cramping.

3. IV therapy may facilitate in reaching effective treatment outcomes.

According to research, you need high concentrations of certain nutrients to notice benefits; vitamin C is one example. However, when taken orally, high doses of these nutrients cannot exert their benefits. This is because when you swallow them in liquid, capsule or tablet form, only a small amount of the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream; the rest of the nutrients are flushed out of the body. Also, some patients cannot absorb certain supplements in the intestines due to their health conditions. IV therapy may be advantageous for those who require high doses of nutrients to treat their health issues.

4. IV therapy is catered to your needs.

Nutritional IV therapy always requires a complete assessment of your health and medical history, which is conducted by a naturopathic doctor. This initial assessment ensures that the conditions you are suffering from (i.e. intestinal
malabsorption or the common cold) will be addressed in your IV drip. The IV drip will contain natural ingredients compounded specifically for your health goals and/or concerns.

Benefits of IV Therapy

IV treatments may take 60 minutes for a single IV bag or up to 2 hours. The duration of each appointment depends on the type of IV treatment being administrated, the ingredients compounded and the size of the IV bag being delivered into your body.

In the human body, hydration and nutrients are the backbones of energy levels. IV therapy may be an option for naturally and nutritionally energizing yourself.
