IV therapy, is a medical procedure that delivers fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream through a vein. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and more immediate effects. Since the digestive system metabolizes supplements that are consumed orally, it reduces the amount of nutrients, vitamins, and medication that reach the bloodstream. Besides speeding up the effectiveness of treatment, IV therapy ensures 100% absorption for optimal use and minimal waste. Because IV therapy delivers medications and vitamins directly to the cells that need them, it can improve and impact a wide variety of body functions.

Excessive intake of fluids is not always kind to your digestive system. Your body has a limit for the volume of fluids it can absorb at one time. When you drink more fluids than your body can process, your digestive system strains to get rid of the excess volume. During this process, your digestive system can also flush out some essential nutrients. Additionally, people who drink fluids with supplements often complain of irritation in their digestive tract. Since IV therapy does not rely on the digestive system to deliver nutrients and fluids to your body, it creates less waste, allowing you to retain most of the nutrients.

The most common vitamins and fluids administered through IV therapy are saline, vitamin B12, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, glutathione, b-complex, biotin, lipostat and amino acids. Some medications for migraines , and stomach bugs have also been approved for use in IV therapy, allowing patients to receive breakthrough care and fast relief of symptoms.

Benefits of IV Hydration

Rapid Hydration:IV therapy delivers fluids directly to the bloodstream, making it a fast and efficient way to rehydrate the body, especially when oral intake is insufficient.

Faster Nutrient Absorption: By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy ensures that nutrients are absorbed quickly and effectively, providing immediate benefits.

Symptom Relief: IV hydration can alleviate symptoms of dehydration such as fatigue, headaches, dizziness, muscle cramps, and dry mouth.

Immune System Support: IV therapy can deliver high doses of vitamins and antioxidants to help strengthen the immune system.

Improved Athletic Performance: IV hydration can help athletes recover faster, maintain healthy muscles, and potentially boost endurance.

Enhanced Energy Levels: IV hydration can replenish essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to energy production.

Potential Anti-Aging Effects: IV hydration can promote healthier skin and potentially delay the signs of aging by restoring hydration and providing essential nutrients.

Support for Certain Conditions: IV therapy can be helpful for individuals with conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis that may impair nutrient absorption through the digestive tract.

While IV hydration offers many benefits, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it’s the right choice for you and to discuss potential risks and benefits.

For most people, drinking sufficient water and maintaining a healthy diet are sufficient for hydration.

IV hydration is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and proper medical care when needed.

Vitamins

Glutathione
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and is beneficial for many disease states as well as helping people live a healthier life. It may improve immune response, by boosting your immune system’s ability to fight off illnesses and infections, help to metabolize toxins and activate enzymes, aid the liver in metabolizing alcohol, reduce the amount of fat stored in the belly, and help to reduce oxidative stress, potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin elasticity. Glutathione can help improve skin health by protecting it from damage, reducing hyperpigmentation, and promoting a brighter, more even skin tone. By reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function, glutathione may lead to increased energy and vitality.

Magnesium chloride
Magnesium chloride provides magnesium, a mineral that is important in maintaining the function of our nerves, cells, bones, muscles, and heart. It plays an integral role in the synthesis of energy within cells, creating DNA, and supporting bone density. Most people get enough magnesium through their diet, but sometimes supplementation is necessary. Other situations, such as alcoholism, poor diet, poorly controlled diabetes, diuretic medications also contribute to magnesium deficiency requiring treatment.
Magnesium is also known as “the relaxation mineral”, magnesium may help with lowering stress and anxiety and getting a better nights rest.

B-Complex
Thiamine (B1) 100mg/mL Improves your immune system, and helps convert fat and carbs into energy.
Niacinamide (B3) 100mg/mL Eases inflammation, and can help maintain healthy looking skin.
Riboflavin (B2) 2mg/mL Increases metabolism andd supports your immune system.
Dexpanthenol (B5) 2mg/mL Essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver.
Pyridoxine (B6) 2mg/mL Promotes red blood cell production and converts food into energy.

Biotin
Biotin, also known as B7, is a water-soluble vitamin found in foods such as eggs, milk, and bananas. This vitamin is important for overall health, and plays a role in cell growth, carbohydrate metabolism, and fatty acid synthesis. Biotin is involved in a wide range of metabolic processes primarily related to the utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. It also influences cell growth and may help in maintaining blood sugar levels. Biotin is commonly supplemented for multiple conditions, such as hair loss, brittle nails, and nerve damage. Biotin is also thought to reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol. Biotin may improve conditions such as skin rashes, brittle nails, thinning hair, diabetes, or nerve pain.

Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is an antioxidant that plays an important role in the body: it protects the body’s cells from damage. It is also necessary to maintain the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Without the proper amount of ascorbic acid, people are at risk for cardiovascular illness, compromised immune systems, premature aging, increased stress response, and low energy. Ascorbic acid is found in foods such as citrus fruits, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, potatoes, brussels sprouts, raw bell peppers, and strawberries. Most people get sufficient ascorbic acid through their diet. Others may not be able to absorb enough through diet or ingestible supplements.
Ascorbic acid is one of many antioxidants that can protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants like cigarette smoke. Free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Ascorbic acid may also be beneficial for patients with colds, macular degeneration, inflammation, skin aging, and in those who have suffered from a stroke.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 helps to utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new proteins. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of our metabolism, blood cells, and nerve function. Most people get enough vitamin B12 in their diet, but some need supplementation. Certain health conditions such as intestinal or stomach problems, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV, pregnancy, old age, veganism, and alcoholism can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue and anemia in milder cases. More serous B12 deficiencies have the potential to impair heart and neurological function, leading to a wide range of serous symptoms, including but not limited to tinnitus, severe joint pain, memory problems, depression, anxiety, poor muscle function, ataxia, and changes in reflexes. Infertility can also occur in individuals with insufficient B12. Early intervention and treatment of B12 deficiencies are key to maintaining healthy bodily function.
B12 can help make red blood cells, DNA and keep nerve cells healthy. It may also help your body produce energy by converting carbohydrates into glucose.
(B12) helps the body convert fat and carbohydrates to energy and may be beneficial as part of a weight loss program.

Zinc
Zinc Sulfate offers several benefits, primarily related to immune support, wound healing, and potential anti-inflammatory effect. It can help boost the body’s defenses against illness, promote faster recovery from wounds and surgery, and may even play a role in managing skin conditions and cognitive function.

Lipostat

Lipostat aims to assist weight loss by providing a blend of nutrients believed to help the body process fats and convert them into energy. Key ingredients often include:

 Methionine: An essential amino acid involved in fat processing and liver health.

Choline: Supports fat metabolism and liver detoxification.

Inositol: Helps convert food into energy.
