IV therapy, also known as intravenous therapy, involves administering nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into the bloodstream through a vein. It should be performed by a licensed healthcare professional. The procedure involves the insertion of a small needle or catheter into a vein, usually in the arm or hand, through which fluids and nutrients can be delivered directly into the bloodstream. This delivery method allows for faster and more efficient absorption of these substances, as they do not have to go through the digestive system. IV therapy is commonly used to treat dehydration, fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and various other health conditions as well as promoting athletic performance. It is popular among individuals who are looking to improve their overall health and well-being. There are various IV therapy formulas available, each with its own specific combination of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and medications. The specific formula used in IV therapy depends on the individual's needs and the goal of the treatment.
Here are a few examples of different IV therapy formulas:
Myer’s Cocktail
includes a combination of vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, B vitamins, such as B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). IV therapy with these vitamins plays a vital role in energy production, nerve function, and metabolism.
Immune Boost
focuses on strengthening the immune system with IV therapy and may include immune-boosting nutrients like zinc, selenium, vitamin C, along with other supportive nutrients.
Detoxification and Liver Support
contains antioxidants, amino acids, and nutrients that aid in detoxification and support liver function. This formula of IV therapy may include substances like glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, and specific amino acids like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or alpha-lipoic acid (ALA).
NAD
NAD IV therapy which is the infusions of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and cellular function resulting in increased energy, enhanced mental clarity, improved athletic performance, anti-aging effects, and support for addiction recovery. NAD+ is involved in important cellular processes, such as DNA repair, cellular signalling, and energy production.
Hydration and Electrolyte Replacement
This form of IV therapy is focused on restoring fluid balance and replenishing essential electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride. It may also include other minerals like magnesium and calcium to support proper cellular function.
Vitamin C Boost
contains a high concentration of vitamin C, which is known for its antioxidant properties and immune system support. This form of IV therapy may be used to enhance overall health, promote collagen production, and support the immune system.
