IV Nutrition and Shots

What is IV Therapy?

It’s a safe and effective method of supplying the body with natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly through the bloodstream. Nutrient IVs are similar to those found at your local hospital. These natural nutrient infusions are administered using a small IV (intravenous) injection. This method ensures that all nutrients are absorbed at the cellular level to enhance your energy level, improve your overall mood, and help prevent future health conditions caused by stress, poor nutrition, and dehydration. .  

The facts to common misconceptions and myths you might have heard of about nutrient IV treatment:

Myth #1:  

Nutrient IV Drips Are Not Safe  

FACT: It is as safe as IV's found at your local hospital, and doctors endorse it. It’s a very safe and simple process that uses the same quality ingredients used in hospitals around the world. Like in hospitals, no adverse reactions occur as a result of administering an IV. In some cases, people experience slight cooling of the arm, mineral taste in the mouth, all of which is normal during the IV process.  

Myth #2: Vitamin IV Therapy Is Too Painful  

FACT: Discomfort levels vary from person to person. The entire process is relatively painless for most people. It can be a little painful if you tend to experience discomfort with needle insertion. But overall, IV nutrition therapy is comfortable and is not toxic to the body. In nearly all cases, once the immediate benefit of the treatment is felt, minor discomfort is greatly outweighed by the benefits experienced- both short and long-term. 

Myth #3:  

It Doesn’t Help Reduce Common Cold Symptoms  

FACT: It can be your preventive measure against the common cold.  While you can’t always prevent a cold, IV nutrient treatment infused with vitamin C is a powerful and quick way to combat the symptoms. Additionally, IV therapies infused with vitamin C can strengthen the immune system over time and reduce the chances of getting sick, as vitamin C empowers various immune functions. 

Myth #4:  

It is less effective than ingesting the various nutrients  

FACT: By the time you start consumption, some foods have lost their nutrients. Your body’s gastrointestinal tract can sometimes fail to absorb the vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream, turning them into waste. Even when your body’s digestive system is working properly, nutrient rich foods inadvertently lose vitamins and minerals when prepared and cooked a certain way.  With IV nutrient infusion treatment, nutrients in their purest form are delivered right into the bloodstream, making it the most effective way to reap their benefits completely.

Myth #5:  

It Takes a While to Feel the Effects  

FACT: IV therapy is an immediate way for you to feel the effects of all the essential nutrients, compared to when ingested. Once the IV is inserted, the vitamin infusion goes directly into the bloodstream. The body then uses the vitamins to perform and facilitate many essential functions, including regulating metabolism, creating red blood cells, and maintaining the immune system. You may feel the physical effects, such as increased energy, right away depending on your nutritional and hydration levels. In some cases, you may even see better skin complexion and improved mood for subsequent days.  

Myth #6:   

It is Not Suited for Active, Healthy Lifestyles  

FACT: Not only can IV therapy be used for many types of health problems, it can mend sore muscles, boost the immune system, help with post-workout muscle recovery, dehydration, chronic fatigue, skin health, and much more.  

Myth #7:  

It’s Only Needed Once  

FACT: No one eats protein once; other nutrients  as well as IV nutrition are no different. Some IV nutrient infusions apply to a one-time use, such as after a night out using a hangover fix. However, IV nutrient treatment as a practice is focused on maintaining optimal levels of nutrients in the body. In order to do that effectively, regular administration of IV infusions is ideal. 

Myth #8:  

It Takes Up Too Much Time  

FACT: ​You may think that IV nutrient treatment could take too long, but the session generally lasts for 30 to 45 minutes. While making time in your schedule may be difficult, doing an IV nutrient treatment takes even less time than going to the gym or preparing a meal. It’s a quick, effective, and relaxing practice to add to a healthy lifestyle or health regime. 

Myth #9:  

It’s Too Expensive  

FACT: Treating ailments can be more costly than taking preventive measures. Very often, nutraceutical deficiencies that have been left unchecked for long periods of time are the cause of acute and chronic illnesses. These illnesses have a price, too. Nutrient IV treatment will get your body rebalanced as quickly and efficiently as possible. Take advantage of these high-perfoming treatments, and give your body the fuel it needs to function properly.
