IV Nutrient Therapy (e.g. Myer’s, Glutathione, Alpha Lipoic Acid…)
One major benefit of IV preparations is that they may be specially made for each patient by their naturopathic doctor to take into account their present health condition, symptoms, and needs while enabling maximum absorption of the specified nutrients. In light of this, IV vitamin and mineral therapy is a very successful and practical treatment strategy for a variety of illnesses.
Intravenous (IV) Therapies involves delivering high doses of vitamins (e.g. C, D), minerals (calcium, magnesium, trace minerals (molybdenum, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese), antioxidants (acetyl-l-carnitine, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid), amino acids (taurine, tryptophan, methionine, inositol, choline/phosphotidylcholine, leucine, isoleucine, etc), homeopathics and botanicals directly into the blood to provide rapid, effective relief of symptoms. It is by far the quickest and most effective way to address nutritional deficiencies, restore the optimal physiological nutrient status, and achieve therapeutic nutrient levels in order to cure a variety of ailments and illnesses. Intravenous administration skips the liver and digestive system, circumventing any shortages or physiological malfunctions to immediately treat deficits. This raises nutrient levels in the blood stream for a while, which helps drive nutrients into the cells where they can be used to improve recovery, reduce fatigue, and regain health. IV nutrients achieve serum concentrations not attainable with oral or even intramuscular administration. Since 100% of the nutrients are absorbed, this is a relatively safe technique to obtain the concentration levels required for many of these nutrients. The utilisation of several natural substances in this more potent dose form is being validated by research in the area of naturopathic IV treatment.
It might be eye-opening to realise that increasing oral vitamin C by 1200% from 200 mg/day to 2,500 mg/day improves plasma levels by just 25%, highlighting the disparity in absorption and the significance of attaining therapeutic dosages. When given intravenously, a nutrient’s plasma level is almost ten times higher than when taken orally.
Natural supplements may not reach the cells where they are needed for health and healing in many cases because of malabsorption, instead passing via the stool.Injecting these natural compounds avoids a number of conditions necessary for healthy cellular nourishment. Malabsorption happens often. 20% of our older population has improper vitamin B12 absorption. The nutrients are delivered to the cells in large doses by intravenous injection (IV).
