Intravenous “into vein” injections of nutrients and vitamins have long been used in the field of medicine to:
- Compensate for nutrient and vitamin deficiencies
- Treat some diseases and abnormalities within the body
- Return the body’s homeostatic functions and metabolism to its normal set point.
Why give IV vitamin therapy instead of dietary supplements?
What nutrients actually get absorbed into the body depends on many factors, but an important one is the ability to digest and absorb those foods. This may be compromised by conditions such as Achlorhydriaor low gastric acidity (common in elderly or patients on antacids), delayed allergic response to food, leaky gut, unbalanced gut bacterial colony, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Enterocolitis etc.
By directly injecting vitamins into the bloodstream, doctors are able to bypass first phase of intestinal absorption, therefore increasing the delivery rate and bioavailability of vitamins. Despite this, doctors may still consider prescribing dietary vitamins or antioxidants for certain patients. Antioxidants will help stimulate the digestion of foods through enzymes, as well as removing harmful wastes from the body.
Who will benefit from IV Vitamin Therapy?
- Patients desiring good health and aesthetic appearance
- Patients needing to lose weight
- Fatigue from an unknown cause
- Chronic pain
- Migraine, Foggy Brain
- Inflammatory diseases e.g. cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, Parkinson’s, Ischaemic Stroke, Paresis and Paralysis
- Cancer and other chronic diseases forcing patients to take long periods of medication.
