The Popular & Highly Effective Nutrient Boost
Intravenous Vitamin is an increasingly popular treatment option for health-focused individuals around the globe. Taking control of our health has never been more important in today’s fast-paced world. Many of us are looking towards holistic ways to maintain our health and vitality.
But did you know that IV Nutrient Therapy is not new? It has been around since the 1980s, however, it is gaining great attention now due to being proven to be a highly effective method of optimising one's well-being.
What Exactly Is IV? “IV” stands for intravenous, which means it's administered through the veins. The fluid that contains vitamins and minerals is delivered via an IV drip or injection into the vein, which allows the therapy to move quickly through your bloodstream. IV Nutrient Therapy is so effective due to its high absorption rates, over 90% of the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes are absorbed, in comparison to only up to 10% with oral supplementation.
This high absorption rate means that the availability of nutrients to every cell in our body is optimised, resulting in a far greater effect, which makes this a great treatment as most micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals are not absorbed by the body. Most of the vitamins and minerals administered in IV Nutrient Therapy are water-soluble, meaning anything excess that is not needed will not accumulate, making it a low-risk treatment option.
Treatments consist of a variety of vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin B, and vitamin D, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, electrolytes, zinc, and glutathione.
Other uses for IV Nutrient Therapy include correcting dehydration after extreme exercise or alcohol intake, boosting the immune system, and increasing energy levels.
