What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV vitamin therapy is a new treatment option for those suffering from vitamin deficiencies. More effective, faster, and able to more quickly correct imbalances than oral supplements, IV vitamin therapy is an innovative procedure that offers immediate results.

What is IV vitamin therapy?

Intravenous (or IV) vitamin therapy delivers vitamins and minerals directly to the patient’s bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract completely. This safe and effective procedure makes 100% of the dosed nutrients immediately available on a cellular level.

Is IV vitamin therapy safe?

IV vitamin therapy is safe and effective and carries a low risk of adverse side effects. Patients undergo a thorough health screening to rule out any possible complications, and each patient has an individual, personally-adjusted dosage profile to ensure maximum benefit. IV vitamin therapy is administered only by fully qualified individuals under a knowledgeable medical professional's direct guidance and supervision.

What does IV vitamin therapy do?

IV vitamin therapy provides a 100% bioavailable dose of vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal health and function. Those treated with IV vitamin therapy commonly report a feeling of increased energy and focus and a general sense of well-being. A balanced and optimized nutrient profile also helps balance processes like immune response and neurological function.

Many nutrients in oral supplements are not readily absorbed by the body, giving IV vitamin therapy a clear advantage. IV vitamin therapy ensures that all the available nutrients in each treatment are administered directly into the bloodstream, making them instantly and completely available to the body on a cellular level.

Intravenous infusion therapy: What to expect

The duration of an individual patient's IV treatment session is variable and determined by several factors, including the kind of infusion used and the number of doses given. In most cases, vitamin injections can be given rapidly, but infusion treatment takes a bit longer.

Patients may feel a tiny pinching sensation at the injection site from the needle, but otherwise, they should be able to leave the center and continue on with their day without any discomfort or unpleasant consequences.

The after-effects of IV infusion treatment are different for each individual. They depend on factors like the type of drip used and the patient's physical make-up. That said, the body absorbs the nutrients instantly, so patients may feel the advantages right away. To have a more permanent result and to give the body a full treatment, patients may need to arrange more sessions.

What are the types of IV vitamin therapy?

The two most common forms of IV treatment are IV push and IV drip. The primary distinguishing factors are the length of therapy and the volume of fluids infused. The vitamin absorption rates for both methods range from 90% to 100%.

Each session of an IV drip typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and involves the injection of between 250 and 1000 cc of fluid. During an IV push, about 30-60 ml of fluids are pushed gently into a vein over the course of 15 to 20 minutes. Qualified medical professionals supervise the entire process.

Are there any side effects?

The risk of serious adverse side effects is very low. Some people have reported experiencing bruising, inflammation, or irritation near the IV insertion site, having a metallic or “vitamin-like” taste in their mouths, or feeling flushed or warm during treatment. This is normal and usually quite minor and tends to decrease during subsequent treatments.

What can IV vitamin therapy do for me?

If someone is suffering from a vitamin deficiency, would like to boost their immune system, is feeling run down, or would simply like more energy, IV vitamin therapy could be a safe, effective solution to their problems. It is the most efficient method of administering vitamins and minerals to the body, bypassing the digestive tract entirely. IV vitamin therapy promotes 100% absorption. The nutrients delivered in this manner are immediately available to the body on a cellular level, and their effects can typically be felt at the time of treatment.

What can IV vitamin therapy help in the treatment of?

IV vitamin therapy has been successfully used in conjunction with a decrease in symptoms associated with asthma, anxiety, bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, and respiratory problems, among many other complaints.
