Are IV Infusions Good For You?

IV therapy is best known for its ability to hydrate your body and make you feel your best. It can also enhance certain conditions that affect the digestive tract, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and cystic fibrosis.

Here is why you should incorporate IV Therapy to your overall wellness routine.

FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE TO GET ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS IN YOUR BODY

With traditional oral supplements, nutrients must first enter your digestive system and be processed for absorption before entering the bloodstream. IV therapy cuts digestion out of the equation. Supplements delivered intravenously are immediately available for your body. There is no breakdown of nutrients, and there’s no wait time. Your body will absorb everything it needs, and anything it doesn’t is filtered out and expelled.

PROVIDES YOUR BODY WITH NATURAL ENERGY

Skip the sugary sodas and sketchy energy drinks and instead opt for a more natural solution: vitamins! The secret lies in the energy-producing properties of B vitamins and amino acids, the building blocks of protein in the body.

Both B vitamins and amino acids are considered essential nutrients your body needs to survive. An influx of those via an IV infusion can help boost your body’s natural energy levels and could help you curb your cravings for unhealthy foods and beverages.

If you’re looking for a quick boost of energy, ask the registered nurse administering your IV about the following:

Alpha -lipoic acid
B-Complex
Vitamin B-12

CAN HELP TREAT CERTAIN CONDITIONS

IV therapy is best known for its ability to hydrate your body and make you feel your best. It can also improve certain conditions that affect the digestive tract, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and cystic fibrosis. Since those ailments may inhibit the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals, IV therapy can help deliver those same nutrients without upsetting the digestive tract.

HELPS MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT

Weight loss can seem difficult at times, no matter how much you exercise or eat your greens. IV supplements can help boost your weight loss journey by converting fat into pure fuel on a cellular level.

PROMOTES BETTER CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Depending on the ingredients of your drip bag, IV therapy can have a profound effect on your cardiovascular health. Certain amino acids like arginine ornithine help relax your blood vessels, which in turn may lower your blood pressure. Minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, can also help regulate the contracting and dilating of your blood vessels.

If you’re interested in the cardiovascular benefits of IV therapy, we recommend the following supplements:

Calcium
Magnesium sulfate
Tri Amino
Arginine

AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET IMMUNE-BOOSTING ANTIOXIDANTS

Free radicals are naturally occurring molecules that can cause oxidative stress which is thought to contribute to a whole host of diseases, ranging from depression to heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants like vitamin C are substances that protect your body from those free radicals. Moreover, certain antioxidants like vitamin C—and even some minerals like zinc—help protect the body against infection by strengthening the immune system.

Enhance your drip and give your immunity a boost:

Vitamin C
Zinc

ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO ALLEVIATE A HANGOVER

As a known diuretic, alcohol causes your body to lose water and dehydrate you. While you may think it’s hydrating because you’re drinking a liquid and there’s ice in the cup, alcohol actually does the opposite. That dehydration is one of the main contributing factors to your hangover symptoms.

An IV infusion replenishes that lost water and “cures” your hangover in mere minutes. It also contains electrolytes, most commonly in the form of sodium chloride, which helps to relieve symptoms of dehydration, including fatigue, dizziness, and thirst. Some drip spas even add anti-nausea and anti-inflammatories to help counteract the additional side effects of drinking.

HELPS ACCELERATE THE WOUND HEALING PROCESS

IV therapy may also accelerate the wound healing process. Depending on the specific nutrient-rich cocktail you choose, vitamin infusions can help heal wounds and repair damaged cells. It can also improve the health of your skin—your body’s first line of defense against disease and infection.

Here’s what we recommend for your drip:

Vitamin C
Zinc
Arginine
Glutathione

LESSEN THE SIGNS OF AGING

Known as the ruler of all antioxidants, glutathione is a workhorse nutrient that benefits your body in a whole host of ways—chief among them being its anti-aging effects.
