Why IV Therapy?
IV therapy has gained popularity in recent years due to its convenience and ability to deliver quick results.
Intravenous (IV) therapy involves placing an IV catheter into a vein in the arm to deliver fluid either alone, or mixed with a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. IV therapy can also include IV medications prescribed by a licensed practitioner.
IV therapy is useful for medical reasons, such as dehydration and/or nutritional deficiencies. IV therapy can also be utilized in healthy individuals who wish to enhance wellness or recover from a sports activity, injury, or illness.
IV therapy is advantageous over taking vitamins and supplements orally because IV nutrients are able to bypass the digestive tract and are delivered directly to the bloodstream. The nutrients are then immediately available to the body's cells for use. IV therapy also has the benefit of allowing the body to safely absorb larger doses of vitamins that would not be tolerated if taken orally.
The majority of Americans are not able to consume their recommended daily dose of nutrients due to high intake of processed foods, nutrient depleted soil, and chronic health conditions. IV therapy is an ideal means of supplementation because it is quick, effective, and can be customized to the needs of an individual.
Those that can benefit from IV therapy include:
Dehydrated individuals due to an illness, sports activity, or alcohol consumption
Those looking to improve energy, sleep, mental clarity, and mood
Migraine and PMS sufferers
Individuals with an illness that want to augment their immune response and recover more quickly
Those suffering from acute symptoms such as pain, nausea, or other unwanted symptoms
Individuals who suffer from chronic conditions such as inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and more
Possibly the best part of IV therapy is its ability to be administered in the comfort of your home or office. No need for long ER wait times or waiting for a scheduled appointment with your doctor. The licensed staff are able to bring the treatment to you and provide a safe and comfortable infusion
