“I take vitamins every day. Why would I consider IV therapy?”
Great question! The difference is in the delivery.
💊 Oral vitamins take the digestive route.
Your body has to break down the supplement and absorb its nutrients through your digestive tract before they enter your bloodstream. How much gets absorbed depends on the vitamin, its form, the dose, and your digestive health. Certain digestive conditions and medications can affect that process.
💧 IV therapy takes a direct route.
Fluids and nutrients are delivered directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system entirely.
What are the benefits of that delivery?
✨ 100% bioavailability: The nutrients administered intravenously enter your bloodstream without losses from intestinal absorption.
✨ Immediate availability: Nutrients enter circulation during your infusion, without waiting for digestive absorption.
✨ When absorption is a challenge: IV delivery bypasses the gut when certain nutrients aren’t being absorbed adequately.
✨ Fluids and nutrients together: An infusion can provide hydration along with selected vitamins and minerals based on your assessed needs.
And no IV therapy isn’t used only for dehydration. Nutrient delivery is another reason it may be considered. Be proactive about your health & wellness goals!
