Unlike supplements, hydration therapy get to work rapidly, delivering its benefits straight into your bloodstream to maximize effectiveness.
The 9 pros of IV therapy:
1. It’s the fastest way possible to get essential nutrients into your body
With traditional oral supplements, nutrients must first enter your digestive system and be processed for absorption before entering the bloodstream. IV therapy cuts digestion out of the equation. Supplements delivered intravenously are immediately available for your body. There is no breakdown of nutrients, and there’s no wait time. Your body will absorb everything it needs and anything it doesn’t is filtered out and expelled.
2. Can help treat certain conditions
IV therapy is best known for its ability to hydrate your body and make you feel your best. It can also improve certain conditions that affect the digestive tract. Since some ailments may inhibit the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals, IV therapy can help deliver those same nutrients without upsetting the digestive system.
3. Promotes better cardiovascular health
Depending on the ingredients of your drip bag, IV therapy can have a profound effect on your cardiovascular health. Certain amino acids, like arginine ornithine, help relax your blood vessels, which in turn may lower your blood pressure. Minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, can also help regulate the contracting and dilating of your blood vessels.
4. Provides your body with natural energy
The secret lies in the energy-producing properties of B vitamins and amino acids, the building blocks of protein in the body. Both B vitamins and amino acids are considered essential nutrients. An influx of those nutrients via an IV infusion can help boost your body’s natural energy levels and could help you curb your cravings for unhealthy foods and beverages.
5. An effective way to get immune-boosting antioxidants
Free radicals are naturally occurring molecules that can cause oxidative stress which is thought to contribute to a whole host of diseases, ranging from depression to heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants like vitamin C are substances that protect your body from those free radicals. Moreover, certain antioxidants like vitamin C—and even some minerals like zinc—help protect the body against infection by strengthening the immune system.
6. Helps maintain a healthy weight
Weight loss can seem difficult at times, no matter how much you exercise or eat your greens. IV supplements can help boost your weight loss journey by converting fat into pure fuel on a cellular level. We use carnitine (amino acid) and ALA (antioxidant) that both work with your mitochondria to boost your metabolism and break down fat.
7. One of the best ways to alleviate a hangover
As a known diuretic, alcohol causes your body to lose water. While you may think it’s hydrating because you’re drinking a liquid and there’s ice in the cup, alcohol actually dehydrates the body. That dehydration is one of the main contributing factors to your hangover symptoms. An IV infusion replenishes that lost water and “cures” your hangover in mere minutes. It also contains electrolytes, most commonly in the form of sodium chloride, which helps to relieve symptoms of dehydration, including fatigue, dizziness, and thirst.
8. Helps accelerate the wound healing process
Depending on the specific nutrient-rich cocktail you choose, vitamin infusions can help heal wounds and repair damaged cells. It can also improve the health of your skin—your body’s first line of defense against disease and infection.
9. Lessens the signs of aging
Known as the ruler of all antioxidants, glutathione is a workhorse nutrient that benefits your body in a whole host of ways—chief among them being its anti-aging effects. Glutathione; repairs damaged cells, detoxes the liver, boosts immune system, breaks down toxins, protects against free radicals and helps manage autoimmune symptoms.
