What is IV Nutrient Therapy?

IV nutrient therapy is the process of giving vital nutrients to the body via the bloodstream by accessing the vein with a small needle. The nutrients can be a small amount that is pushed in slowly with a syringe over 5 to 15 minutes or a bag that is dripped in slowly over 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on the solution being given.

Why give IV Nutrient Therapy?

IV nutrient therapy is a way of getting vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other nutrients into the bloodstream quickly. It takes no work on the part of the digestive system. This is a great benefit for those who have digestive issues or who cannot tolerate oral supplementation. There are also times when the body is so deficient that oral supplementation is not enough. Using IV route of administration of nutrients allows for maximum concentration of nutrients to reach tissues that need it the most. For example, IV administration allows nutrients to get into the brain when oral supplementation would not suffice.

What are some of the nutrients used?

There are a lot of options but the most used are B- vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Hydrogen Peroxide, Glutithione,  and many others. 

What are some of the conditions IV Nutrient Therapy is used for?

Since IV therapy can help restore function in every cell of the body numerous health conditions respond to IV Nutrient Therapy. Some examples are Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Lyme's ds, Parkinsons, malabsorption syndrome (such as gastritis, ulcers, IBS, Crohn's and colitis), auto immune disease, post traumatic/post operative wound healing, viral infections heart disease, diabetes and adjunct cancer treatment and many others  

How does it work?

The nutrients in the IV solutions are absorbed directly by your cells without having to go through the digestive process. This means that nutrients are absorbed more quickly and at higher concentrations than oral supplementation. Due to the high concentration of nutrients in the IV solution compared to the cells in your body, the "concentration gradient" allows active transport of the nutrients into every cell rapidly and efficiently, thus stimulating your cells to achieve optimal health.

Having IV nutrient repletion leads to a rapid increase in the nutrient levels in the center of the cells where they are most needed. This can "kick start" the metabolism. Cells now have enough energy to eliminate accumulated toxins. This process may lead to a detoxification reaction, bringing about symptoms of fatigue, nausea, headache and bowel changes. These are temporary. Cellular healing at the root level starts happening when the cells have the nutrients they need to function properly. Homeostasis (a balance of nutrients inside the cells and toxins out of the cells) is achieved quickly and effectively with IV nutrient therapy.
