Complete Nutritional IV Therapy

Rejuvenate Your Body with Intravenous Nutritional Therapy

IV nutritional therapy can provide enormous health benefits and lead to increased energy, enhanced immune support, and a better overall sense of well-being. In many respects, IV nutritional therapy is a preventive aging measure. The therapy is so powerful that many patients report benefits within hours of receiving the treatment.

What is Intravenous Nutritional Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) nutritional therapy is a method of delivering vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients to the body directly into the bloodstream. A small intravenous catheter is temporarily placed into a vein, and the nutrients can be administered slowly over a period of time that is dependent upon the nutrients that are used.

For example, some nutrients can be administered over a 5 to 15 minute period; however, most intravenous infusions last approximately 30 to 60 minutes. In effect, IV Nutritional Therapy bathes the cells with nutrients and can increase and optimize cellular health.

Why IV Therapy is More Effective

IV therapy is particularly effective since many vitamin and mineral supplements are not well absorbed by the body. For some people, barriers exist in the gastrointestinal tract that prevent adequate absorption. But with IV therapy, we can safely deliver large doses of nutrients safely into a vein that would otherwise not be tolerated if administered orally.

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and certain other nutrients can have an incredibly potent drug-like effect when given directly into a vein, but without the side effects of many prescription medications.

Conditions That May Benefit from IV Therapy

If you are suffering from any of the following conditions, IV Vitamin Therapy may help to rejuvenate your body and help you to feel better again:

  • Acute and chronic viral infections
  • Heavy metal toxicity
  • Asthma and allergies/sinusitis
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Chronic depression and anxiety
  • Lyme disease
  • Cancer support
  • Athletic recovery and performance enhancement

Benefits of Intravenous Nutritional Therapy

IV nutritional therapy can provide enormous health benefits depending on the condition(s) being treated, the specific protocol(s) used, the number of treatments and the overall health of the patient being treated.

Specific benefits that patients may experience include:

  1. Increased Energy – Combat fatigue at the cellular level
  2. Overall Sense of Well-Being – Feel rejuvenated and revitalized
  3. Improved Sports Performance – Enhanced athletic capacity and endurance
  4. Faster Healing and Recovery – From sports wear and tear or surgical procedures
  5. Enhanced Immune Support – Strengthen your body’s natural defenses
  6. Stress Relief – Support your body’s stress response systems

In many respects, IV nutritional therapy is a preventive aging measure since it improves the nutritional content inside of the cells. IV therapy is so powerful that many patients report many of these benefits within hours of receiving the treatment.

Safety and Side Effects

IV therapies are very safe, well tolerated, and pose minimal if any negative side effects. The most common, yet still very rare, complications of Intravenous Nutrient therapy can include pain, irritation, inflammation or bruising at the injection site. Systemic complications such as an allergy to a substance can occur, but this is extremely rare.

All of the nutrients we use are natural and safe to be administered intravenously, and the ingredients used in our IV nutritional therapies do not contain any preservatives.

Getting Started

The first step in considering IV nutritional therapy is to schedule a Comprehensive Initial Assessment. With lab results in hand combined with your detailed health history and specific issues, your doctor will outline the specific treatment plan that will support you in optimizing your health.

Basic blood work and an initial consult with one of our doctors are required before scheduling an IV.
