IV Nutritional Therapies

If you are suffering from the following:

Or if you are an athlete in need of faster healing and recovery…

Then IV Nutritional Therapy may help to rejuvenate your body by replenishing nutrients that have been depleted by viruses or disease processes and help you to feel better again. For example, in the case of AMD (Macular Degeneration), we know from the AREDS2 study and other similar studies that increasing the intake of certain nutrients may slow the progression of the disease. In the case of influeza type illnesses, numerous studies have shown that high doses of Vitamin C given intravenously signficantly mitegates flu symptoms and shortens the duration of influenza type illnesses.

What is Intravenous Nutritional Therapy?

Alternatively referred to as IV nutrient therapy, intravenous nutritional therapy is a specialized technique for putting vitamins, minerals, and other critical nutrients right into the bloodstream. By temporarily placing a small intravenous catheter into a vein, these nutrients can be administered gradually over a specific period of time, tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Unlike traditional oral supplements, IV nutritional therapy bypasses potential absorption barriers in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for efficient and direct delivery of high doses of nutrients to flood the cells and optimize cellular health.

One of the key advantages of IV nutrient therapy lies in its ability to overcome issues related to poor nutrient absorption that some individuals may face. By delivering nutrients directly into the vein, larger quantities can be safely administered without the potential intolerance or limited absorption that may occur if taken orally. This method allows vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients to have a potent and effective impact on the body, similar to certain medications, but without the associated side effects. It is important to note that all the nutrients used in IV therapy are natural and safe for intravenous administration.

The frequency and duration of IV nutritional therapy can vary depending on the specific needs of each patient and the conditions being treated. Some individuals may only require a few sessions, while others may benefit from periodic treatments over an extended period of time. The benefits of IV Nutrition Therapy For Cancer Patients are diverse and can greatly enhance overall health and well-being. By improving the nutritional content within the cells, this therapy can result in increased energy levels, a general sense of well-being, improved sports performance, accelerated healing and recovery from physical stress or surgical procedures, enhanced immune support, and relief from stress. Remarkably, many patients report experiencing these benefits shortly after receiving an IV therapy session. For individuals with chronic conditions like Fibromyalgia, periodic treatments may be necessary to maintain the benefits achieved.

In conclusion, Intravenous Nutritional Therapy offers numerous advantages and potential health benefits, personalized to each individual’s needs. By directly delivering essential nutrients to the bloodstream, this therapy can optimize cellular health and support overall well-being.
