What Is IV Therapy?

IV therapy is a procedure where fluids, along with certain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, are delivered directly into the bloodstream. The method is similar to receiving IV therapy in a hospital as part of a treatment plan for certain medical conditions.

The Benefits of IV Hydration

IV therapy is popular for several reasons. Since the nutrients bypass the digestive system, the body can absorb them much more rapidly. This is especially true for individuals with digestive issues that hinder their ability to absorb critical nutrients from food. Since IV therapy typically includes fluids and the desired vitamins and minerals, it also makes it an ideal delivery system to restore proper hydration.

People suffering from malabsorption issues due to Crohn’s or Celiac disease or short bowel syndrome (SBS) may be good candidates for IV therapy. Additionally, individuals unable to take vitamins and supplements in pill form can greatly benefit from IV therapy treatments. Lastly, IV therapy may also benefit cancer patients experiencing fatigue and dehydration during chemotherapy.

IV Vitamin Therapy

Some of the more popular vitamins and minerals available in IV therapy include vitamin C, magnesium, electrolytes, antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid and glutathione, and B vitamins like B5, B6, and B12.

Supporting Immune Function

Certain nutrients delivered intravenously, such as vitamin C and zinc, can aid in developing white blood cells. In turn, the increased production of white blood cells helps support the body’s immune system by enhancing its ability to fight infections.

Does IV Therapy Work?

IV therapy is ideal for individuals with malabsorption issues and those experiencing dehydration from various health conditions. It’s also a terrific choice for those who want to support their immune system but cannot take supplements in pill form.
