IV Vitamin Infusion
What is IV Vitamin Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves the administration of a combination of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This method offers a more efficient means of delivering essential substances, surpassing the limitations of traditional oral administration.
By circumventing the digestive system, IV therapy allows for enhanced absorption of nutrients, potentially resulting in faster and more prominent outcomes. The direct infusion of nutrients via a small cannula enables the achievement of concentrations that surpass those attainable through oral supplementation alone.
IV therapy plays a vital role in replenishing key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants necessary for cellular function and overall health. These essential components contribute to stress management, cellular repair, and the restoration of optimal cellular functionality. Concurrently, the fluid administered during IV therapy aids in toxin elimination and promotes cellular hydration at a profound level.
Individuals who undergo IV therapy commonly report feelings of increased energy, revitalization, and an improved overall sense of well-being. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the efficacy and benefits of IV therapy may vary depending on an individual's specific medical needs and conditions.
Prior to considering IV therapy or any medical intervention, it is prudent to consult with a healthcare professional. Such an expert can assess your unique health requirements, evaluate the suitability of IV therapy for your situation, and provide informed guidance on the most appropriate treatment options.
Vitamin C infusion
Vitamin C is an antioxidant which helps in the prevention of oxidative stress. It also works with enzymes to play a key role in producing collagen. When taken by intravenous (IV) infusion, Vitamin C can reach higher levels in the blood than when it’s taken orally.
Vitamin C is also shown to help the body form and maintain connective tissue, bones, skin, and blood vessels. This means that high doses may not only boost your immune system but vitamin C infused intravenously may aid the body in healing wounds, manage stress & boost energy.
Vitamin B infusion
B vitamins power the chemical reactions needed for many different bodily functions including making and repairing immune system antibodies and DNA.
B vitamins play an important part in your overall health by:
• Production of cellular metabolism and energy
• Producing new red blood cells
• Aiding the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system
• Maintaining a healthy appetite and digestion
• Maintaining Heart Health
• B vitamins are important for optimum energy levels, but they don’t directly supply your body with fuel. They enable your body to effectively use the energy found in macronutrients (fat, carbs, and protein).
Glutathione
Glutathione is a critical component in reducing inflammation & enhancing the function of the immune system. It is an essential antioxidant for optimal health & wellness & is found in every cell in the body. It helps to
- Improve immune function
- Lighten and brighten the skin by erasing hyperpigmentation and inhibiting melanin production in cells
- Reduce inflammation
- Helps your body break down and purge fat
FAQs
HOW LONG DOES AN IV VITAMIN INFUSTION SESSION TAKE?
Infusions typically take about 1 hour.
There is no recovery time with either infusions or boosters – you can go straight back out and resume your daily activities.
HOW IS AN IV VITAMIN INFUSION IS BETTER THAN ORAL SUPPLEMENTS?
When we take vitamins orally, they travel to the stomach and intestine but unfortunately not all the nutrients get absorbed. However, when you receive nutrients via an IV drip, all the hydration, vitamins and minerals bypass the digestive system and are delivered directly into your bloodstream, resulting in immediate absorption and use by the body.
CAN I HAVE MORE THAN MORE THAN ONE VITAMIN PER SESSION?
YES, depending what your body requires, you can mix different vitamins in a same fluids bag. Our health professional will conduct consultation and decide with you on the day.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FEEL THE EFFECTS?
Everyone effects differently but you may start to feel the effects of hydration immediately, and over the following days as your body and cells absorb the nutrients from the vitamins, your body will start to feel the positive impact.
WHAT SHOULD I PREPARE PRIOR TO IV VITAMIN INFUSION?
Drink plenty of fluids: at least 1-2 litres, 1-2 hours before your session
Have something small to eat prior your session
