IV treatment includes injecting vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream. Your objectives, which may include boosting endurance, managing a chronic medical condition, or enhancing hydration, will determine which exact substances are used in infusion therapy.
Working with IV specialists who can customize your treatment to the diseases you wish to target is crucial to your success with IV therapy. Here are six reasons to attempt this individualized treatment.
Increase energy
Approximately 10% of Americans do not consume enough iron and vitamins C, D, B6, and B12, among other minerals and vitamins. These deficiencies can induce exhaustion, a weakened immune system, and a lack of energy. They are frequently caused by stress, poor diet, and inappropriate absorption.
Due to its direct delivery into your bloodstream, IV treatment can help you replace deficient nutrients. Your natural state of awakening and vigor may improve as a result.
Boost nutrient uptake
You can get nutrients into your circulation immediately with IV treatment. This procedure stops the nutrients from interacting with digestive enzymes, which happens when you consume food or supplements.
Digestive enzymes break down food and supplements, preventing your body from getting all the nutrients. Your body may only be able to absorb half of the nutrients throughout this process, with the other half passing through your urine.
However, because vitamins delivered directly into your bloodstream avoid the digestive enzymes, you can absorb up to 90% of the nutrients that are accessible.
Boost immune system performance
Your immune system can benefit significantly from IV therapy in its fight against chronic diseases and viral infections. A Myers cocktail is a popular IV treatment formulation. Dr. John Myers, a pioneer in IV nutritional medicine, is honored by having his name in the formulation. The primary components are magnesium, vitamins B and C, calcium, and calcium phosphate.
Another benefit of a Myers cocktail is that it can help with various ailments, including fibromyalgia, exhaustion, aches and pains, stress, migraines, depression, allergies, and severe asthma attacks. IV treatment is highly beneficial if you have these ailments and cannot swallow medicines or adequately digest meals.
Restore hydration
After excessive alcohol use, strenuous exercise, or chronic vomiting or diarrhea, rehydrating with an IV treatment formula high in antioxidants can be helpful. Pre- and post-performance hydration can improve and help prevent heat exhaustion for athletes competing in hot conditions.
If a disease or other circumstance makes you more likely to experience severe dehydration, IV therapy may be able to prevent this potentially fatal situation. You can also combat fatigue and jet lag resulting from constant stress and overexertion by rehydrating your body with IV treatment.
Enhance sports recovery
Athletes and those who engage in physically demanding activities such as high-intensity sports require more nutrition than those who are less active. IV therapy increases performance before competitions and encourages a healthy recovery afterward. Furthermore, IV treatment with energy-boosting vitamins and minerals benefits both strength and endurance athletes. Personalized IV formulations can also lessen muscular pain and promote quicker recovery.
