IV Therapy & Nutrient Injections
The administration of nutrients via injection or intravenous route has the benefit of bypassing the digestive tract. This decreases possible GI side effects as some nutrients can cause stomach aches, diarrhea and/or constipation at higher doses. The other benefit is avoiding potential absorption difficulties - patients get the benefit of 100% of the nutrients administered.
IV Therapy Menu:
Hydration IV - Though a simple treatment, saline hydration IVs have many benefits. These can be very beneficial for for patients who are experiencing vomiting and diarrhea and not able to maintain adequate hydration. As dehydration can contribute to migraines, this can often help in these cases as well. POTS patients often find hydration IVs beneficial in managing symptoms. Depending on the volume administered, these IVs can take anywhere from 45-90 minutes and are administered as often as 1-2 times/week though most patients notice benefit coming as infrequently as once every 2 weeks and often report better energy, focus and mood.
Glutathione IV - Glutathione is a peptide that exists in most of our cells and is composed of three amino acids -cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is a strong antioxidant and detoxifier, often used in detoxification protocols and as a treatment for neurodegenerative processes. It also is involved in tissue repair and immune function. Glutathione breaks down easily if taken orally so IV and inhaled options are typically more beneficial. As glutathione can cause a detox reaction, it is best tapered up slowly, especially if there is suspicion of a higher toxic burden. Taking nutrients that support glutathione production and recycling can help to increase the benefit of this nutrient.
Myers IV - This formula is a combination of B vitamins, calcium, magnesium and vitamin C. The nutrients in this IV help to support energy, immune function, and healthy mood. The magnesium and added hydration of this IV can also help to alleviate headaches and migraines.
**Immune boost add on available - Add a boost of vitamin C to your Myers for added immune support
Iron IV - IV irons bypass the GI tract and therefore have no GI side effects or absorption issues, giving the benefit of receiving the full dose that is administered. Iron is essential for blood cell production as well as energy production. *Doctor approval required
Vitamin C IV - Vitamin C is very important for proper immune function, among other things. The 7.5 grams of Vitamin C in this IV has been studied and found to help curb acute allergy flares. This dose also has been studied in Shingles and can help to shorten duration of an outbreak as well as lessen the chance of long term nerve pain.
