IV Nutrients

Discover the therapeutic effects of this natural treatment

Intravenous (IV) vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients boost immune function, increase energy levels, and help manage a variety of chronic health problems. IV nutrients are also powerful preventive and anti-aging therapies.

How Does Treatment With IV Nutrients Work?

When vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are infused intravenously (IV) they go directly into your bloodstream. That means they avoid the potential loss of potency and poor absorption in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that can be characteristic of nutrients taken orally.

This makes IV nutrient administration a powerful therapy for numerous health concerns. If you’re healthy, IV administration of a wide range of vitamins and minerals is an extremely effective way to boost your nutritional status and prevent illness.

A number of nutrients play well-defined roles in the maintenance of a robust immune response, optimal energy, and overall health. Magnesium is an excellent example of how targeted IV nutrients can be effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment program.

Magnesium for Multiple Conditions

IV magnesium is an excellent therapy for patients with heart disease, respiratory problems, and more. It smoothes out arrhythmias and can stop an acute asthma attack in its tracks. IV magnesium is also beneficial if you have diabetes, as it improves insulin sensitivity, helps control blood sugar, and reduces risk of retinopathy.

What Does Treatment With IV Nutrients Entail?

When you receive treatment with IV nutrients, you sit or lie comfortably while an IV line is started and your individualized protocol of nutrients is infused. During infusion, you may read, chat with other patients, nap, or simply relax. Treatments last half an hour to three hours, depending on the specific protocol being administered, and a complete treatment course usually requires multiple sessions.
