What is IV Nutrient Therapy / IV Vitamin Therapy?
Intravenous therapies or IV therapies is a mixture of nutrients, usually vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, zinc, selenium and other trace minerals in a sterile water base.
These treatments have been used for decades for a number of specific purposes.
By infusing the nutrients directly into the body the absorption rate is much higher. This is especially important for people that may not be able to absorb supplements as easily due to factors related to the supplements or to factors related to how it passes through the digestive system.
You can think of the cells being fed nutrients they need without having to worry about going through the digestive system.

It’s About Accuracy:
Other benefits of IV therapies is that the amount of medication getting into the body is accurately known.
For example with high dose vitamin C IVs we can go up to 100gs , if you take that much orally you would get an irritation of the digestive system.
With an IV it is prevented and there is no loss through vomiting and no medication is lost through destruction by stomach acid or enzymes.
