What is IV Nutrient Therapy?

Intravenous ( IV) nutrient therapy is a customizable treatment that allows for vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to be directly administered into the bloodstream.

What are the benefits of IV nutrient therapy?

Nutrients are 100% accessible to cells.

IV nutrient therapy bypasses the digestive system as it is directly administered into the bloodstream. This allows for the total amount of nutrients to be used by the cells and tissues. This is important because when a nutrient is taken orally, the total dose is not fully absorbed due to factors such as interactions with other nutrients, inadequate digestive enzyme function, or gastrointestinal disease.

Higher doses of nutrients can be administered.

As IV nutrient therapy bypasses the digestive system, higher doses of nutrients can be given at one time in order to reach a greater therapeutic effect. When nutrients are taken orally, higher doses can cause digestive irritation and may not be fully absorbed.

Fully customizable to your health needs.

Each IV nutrient treatment can be completely tailored to your specific health needs. This truly makes it a personalized therapy that can be incorporated into most people’s treatment plan.
