IV Vitamin Infusion Explained
WHAT IS IT?
When a person receives an IV vitamin treatment, they’re receiving a liquid mixture of vitamins and minerals through a small tube inserted into a vein. This allows the nutrients to be absorbed quickly and directly into the bloodstream, a method that produces higher levels of the vitamins and minerals in your body than if you got them from food or supplements. This is because several factors affect our body’s ability to absorb nutrients in the stomach. Factors include age, metabolism, health status, genetics, interactions with other products we consume, and the physical and chemical makeup of the nutritional supplement or food. Higher levels of the vitamins and minerals in your bloodstream lead to greater uptake into cells, which theoretically will use the nutrients to maintain health and fight illness.
The most popular reasons for IV vitamin treatment is to relieve stress, rid your body of toxins, balance hormones, boost immunity, and make you skin healthier. Vitamins used in the IVs are water soluble, so once your body uses what’s needed, it will excrete the excess through your kidneys into your urine.
Other uses for IV vitamin drips include correcting dehydration after extreme exercise or alcohol intake, boosting the immune system, and increasing energy levels. However, it’s important to note that most healthy people get enough of these nutrients from an appropriate, balanced diet.
Which Vitamins & Why?
VITAMIN B
The family of B vitamins (including B1, 2, 3, 5 and 6) are the building blocks for beautiful, glowing skin. They help regenerate collagen, speed up wound healing, reduce inflammation and regulate sebum production which if overactive, causes acne. They are also well hydrated skin and reducing hyperpigmentation
Vitamin B12
This is administered as either IV or IM in the clinic, which is often a crucial missing piece for those on restricted diets. Only available as a booster shot, vitamin B12 provides a general boost to energy levels and concentration, and can help your body use fat and carbohydrates more efficiently, making new protein cells. Either due to a vegan or vegetarian diet or poor absorption because of underlying medical conditions, deficiency can lead to anaemia, fatigue and that ‘brain fog’ feeling.
Vitamin C
Essential enough to have its own dedicated infusion, vitamin C is responsible for a variety of functions necessary for overall health and wellbeing. It works hard to support a healthy immune system, nervous system and blood vessels, while being a vital component in wound healing and protecting cells from oxidative stresses including our skin cells, helping to bestow that sought-after glow from within. My father had it during his cancer treatment, a hug skeptic, even he couldn’t help but be amazed at how much better he felt after every sesson at the hospice
Glutathione
A powerful antioxidant made up of amino acids that’s included in many of our IV vitamin therapy infusions, glutathione is essential in preventing cellular damage, neutralising free radicals, detoxifies and works closely with vitamin C to protect cells.
