IV Infusion Therapy

Vitamin And Nutritional Infusions

IV vitamin infusions can be used both proactively to maintain optimum wellness and to treat acute and chronic health conditions. There are 6 essential nutrients – vitamins, minerals, protein, fats, water, and carbohydrates. An essential nutrient means that it is required for the normal functioning of your body but it cannot be produced by your body.

The 13 essential vitamins are — vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, B6, B12, and folate).

Each nutrient has a different job in your body to keep it healthy and functioning properly. Despite eating a balanced diet sometimes your body falls short of these essential nutrients and other valuable components, such as during pregnancy or chemotherapy.

Our nutritional infusions allow these nutrients to go directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract and avoiding the GI tract irritation that oral supplements sometimes cause. Each infusion is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

The Benefits of Vitamin Infusions

No matter how well you think you eat, your body is only able to benefit from a small amount of those nutrients you consume. This is because the nutrients have to pass through your digestive system before getting to the cellular level where they are actually used. By receiving vitamins through an IV directly into your bloodstream, your body is able to immediately take advantage and benefit from 100% of the nutrients.

The benefits of IV vitamin therapy are numerous and the results can be tailored to your specific needs and goals. Some of the benefits include fatigue reduction, a sense of more energy, immune system support, and help with symptoms of dehydration.

There are many medical practitioners who disagree with the effectiveness of vitamin infusions. The arguement is that a healthy diet and exercise will produce the same results. Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced world not all of us eat a healthy diet or exercise as much as we should. Consider those who eat a restrictive diet, either by choice (a vegan) or by necessity (celiac disease) or who are suffering from a disease (cancer) that makes it hard to obtain the nutrients their bodies need for optimal functioning. There is growing medical evidence that points to the benefits of vitamin infusions.

Depending on the particular infusion and whether or not you are receiving it to treat a specific ailment, the frequency of IV vitamin infusions can vary considerably. Some patients elect to get an IV infusion up to twice a week. Usually, one session a week for three weeks is enough to help you reach your health target. After that, most people will benefit from treatments usually spaced about two weeks apart once their nutrient levels become stabilized. Some people who have particular health issues may benefit from a series of 6 weekly infusions initially. You have the option to receive therapy on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis. We recommend that you receive an infusion when you desire to boost your energy level, are experiencing a more than normal stressful life or just want to get back to your best self. Each individual’s nutritional and hydration status is considered when recommendations are mede.
IV hydration therapy, IV infusion therapy, and IV vitamin therapy are all terms used to describe the process of administering nutrients and fluids directly into the bloodstream of patients. The precise combination of fluids, vitamins, and minerals being administered varies depending on individual health goals but they are all injected via a small needle placed into a patient’s vein. IV hydration therapy is often employed to help muscles recover after working out, alleviate symptoms of a hangover, prevent migraines, and much more.
Increased energy is noticed by most people however this may vary depending on your nutritional and hydration status. Some people have reported a vitamin taste in their mouth and their urine having a vitamin smell. That is totally normal since the body eliminates the nutrients once the body has used them. Most people can expect their nutrient levels to remain elevated for between two and three weeks after each treatment.
