IV nutrient therapy delivers therapeutic doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream.
IV nutrient therapy is used when higher concentrations of nutrients than the gut can absorb are desired for certain health outcomes.
On average, we can only absorb approximately 30% of nutrients consumed orally. IV nutrient therapy bypasses the gut, providing 100% absorption of nutrients at doses that are high, safe and efficacious.
Because IV nutrients reach higher concentrations in the blood than oral consumption or supplementation, cellular uptake of these nutrients is rapid and efficient – readily stimulating cells to achieve optimal health.
The results can include:
Vitamins – C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (biotin) B9 (folic acid), B12
Minerals – magnesium, calcium, selenium, zinc, chromium, copper, manganese
Amino acids – arginine, carnitine, taurine, proline, glycine, lysine, tryptophan
Immune agents and antioxidants – hydrochloric acid, glutathione
Conditions commonly treated: fatigue, chronic pain, colds and flu, lingering infections, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, neurological conditions, migraines, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, cancer support, sports recovery, post-operative wound healing
