What is a vitamin infusion?
It is not easy to get all the essential nutrients our bodies require, with only about ten percent of the nutrients from food and oral vitamin supplements being absorbed. This is due to the absorption process within the intestines and digestive system. IV vitamin therapy is a popular treatment for many people to replenish the body’s nutritional status. When vitamins and minerals are delivered intravenously it allows the vitamins to bypass the digestive system and they are delivered directly into your bloodstream resulting in quick absorption of the nutrients. This tailored therapy will treat your body needs while your body can absorb every little drop. Whether before a big wedding, to fight off a viral infection, or just in need of a recovery, IV vitamin therapy may be right for you!
Vitamin infusions can heal and assist in repairing damaged cells. Many people may benefit from vitamin infusions with treatments being spaced about 2 weeks apart. This is so that nutrient levels can be expected to remain elevated following each infusion.
The late Dr John Myers, MD, first introduced this vitamin and mineral treatment in the 1950’s. The original Myer’s cocktail could be beneficial for many ailments and now healthcare providers can tailor treatments to meet specific patient needs. The personalised intravenous vitamin therapy will suit specific personal health goals you may have.
What are the benefits?
There can be many benefits of IV Vitamin infusions including immune boosting, improved mental clarity, minimizing anxiety, optimizing defence against viruses, body and mind fine-tuning, clearer and smoother skin (by supporting production of collagen), age management, burning fat, recovering from jet lag, and getting rid of a hangover after a big night.
Are there any risks?
The vitamin infusion is administered slowly through a cannula which is inserted into a vein in your arm. As with any medical procedure there can be some risks. The most common risk can be an infection, bruise or redness where the IV cannula is inserted.
