Why consider IV therapy?
There are certain times when the body requires more nutrients than you are able to obtain from diet or supplementation. For example, in people with compromised digestion, recovery from surgery, chronic illness, hypothyroidism, poor immunity. Normally only a fraction of oral vitamins makes it to the bloodstream once it has been processed through the digestive tract. IV therapy bypasses the digestive tract allowing for more nutrients to be available to your body’s cells.
Advantages of IV therapy versus oral supplementation:
Fast and direct delivery of nutrients to cells
Higher doses achieved without causing gastrointestinal side effects
Bypass first pass metabolism in the liver, which decreases how much of the nutrient makes it into your bloodstream
Bypass compromised or sluggish GI system with lowered nutrient absorption
What’s in the IV?
Myer’s Multivitamin and Mineral IV
Vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, trace minerals and electrolytes provide the body with the nutrients it needs to run almost all metabolic processes in the body, balance electrolytes and foster healing and tissue repair.
An all-around nutrient boost, this bag augments immune function, replenishes energy stores, and benefits almost all types of healing. Administration takes 45-60 min.
Glutathione and Vitamin C antioxidant IV
Glutathione is the body’s most potent antioxidant, which is depleted in times of oxidative stress. THe body also produces less after the age of 40 years. This IV can benefit people with concussions, tissue injury (including surgical), stress, environmental toxins, the aging process, and strenuous exercise. Replenishing glutathione levels benefits tissue repair, helps to heal from concussions (via its unique ability to cross the blood brain barrier), is anti-aging and vastly improves liver and kidney function. Administration takes 20-30 minutes.
