IV nutritional therapy works by introducing nutrients directly into the bloodstream, avoiding the gastrointestinal system, allowing higher volumes of the nutrients to be absorbed by cells. For example, vitamins consumed via diet or pill introduce is not absorbed at 100% and may not be absorbed at all depending on the health of the intestines. Whereas IVs can provide the body with higher quantities of nutrients needed to properly replenish the body’s deficiencies or assist the body in functioning at 100% every time.
Commonly, the body will lack proper levels of nutrients like vitamin C, D, B12, magnesium, and more. These compromised nutrient levels can lead to individuals becoming more susceptible to disease, fatigue, and other health ailments. Through IV treatments, an individual’s health can be optimized and restored to proper vitamin levels.
A nutritional therapy session involves a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner who will review your medical health history and goals and then will select the right IV option for your specific condition. This is a significant piece to IV therapy being successful as not just any nutrient cocktail can work for every condition or group of symptoms. Depending on the IV and the condition, an infusion can last anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.
Based on the individual, some people receive an IV treatment weekly to best maintain their vitamin levels, stay hydrated, and protect their overall wellbeing. On the other hand, some may only seek IV nutritional therapy when they are experiencing illness. Either way, it is important to consult with a medical professional regarding your nutrient and vitamin levels as excessive mineral amounts can also pose danger and illness to you
