What is IV therapy?

Recently, intravenous injections of supplements became a popular therapy modality in preventive health. The so-called IV drips are applied as stand-alone procedures and as part of multi-procedures health plans. Why is this therapy so sought after, and how do intravenous injections compare to other methods of supplement administration?

First, it delivers the nutrients directly to the bloodstream, which takes them to all the cells. Any other route will always involve dealing with ADME issues (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion). When consumed orally, almost all of these ingredients get digested by our GI system and broken apart by the liver’s 2-phase drug metabolism system. What does this entail? Less potency, lower concentration of an active compound, and an additional stress factor for the liver.

Higher doses of supplement intake are required for any vitamins and minerals even to reach the intended destination. But here’s the catch: we cannot always tell which percentage will be available after ADME takes its toll.

It’s common knowledge that vitamins are beneficial for our health. A less known fact is that excessive doses of vitamins are toxic. So, the liver suffers, and we may also experience systemic intoxication from the elements meant to heal our system.

The IV infusion method carries none of the risks mentioned above. Almost 100% of the vitamins and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream when applied intravenously. The blood circulates throughout our whole body within 1 hour and delivers the beneficial elements directly to our cells. The vitamins then engage in natural cell metabolism, which means no additional stress for the liver. The doctor in charge of this procedure can easily control the plasma concentration of the vitamins and nutrients. We can be confident that we are administering precisely the required amount of these elements.

IV therapy is very versatile and can deliver various types of beneficial elements:
