IV Nutrient Therapy
Overview
IV nutrient therapy involves the intravenous administration of vitamins and micronutrients into the body. This treatment improves your overall health and well-being by directly replenishing vitamins and minerals in your bloodstream.
With infusions of medication, vitamins, electrolytes, and amino acids, treatment aims to reduce a wide array of symptoms. Some individuals rely on these treatments as a short-term solution when battling illness, jet lag, or feeling under the weather. Others visit IV clinics as part of their wellness regimen, selecting options purportedly designed to combat ageing, enhance brainpower, manage stress, and even treat medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and chronic pain.
Benefits
When orally consumed, nutrients are broken down by the stomach and intestines, limiting the absorption of almost half the vitamins and minerals you have consumed. However, when nutrients are administered intravenously, it is absorbed at a much higher rate because it enters your body directly through your bloodstream.
Treatment
A small intravenous line is inserted into a vein, and a liquid mixture of vitamins and minerals is administered by Dr Nadine. This allows the nutrients to be absorbed rapidly.
Several factors influence the body's ability to absorb nutrients in the stomach. Age, metabolism, health condition, genetics, interactions with other products we consume, and the physical and chemical composition of the dietary supplement or food are all crucial factors. Theoretically, higher levels of vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream result in greater uptake by cells, which use the nutrients to maintain health and fight disease.
