Advantages of Intravenous Vitamin Therapy

• With intravenous nutrient therapy, once the infusion starts, the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are introduced into your body quickly circulate through the bloodstream and infuse into your cells. Once there, they become immediately available for use.
• There are far fewer side effects with intravenous vitamin therapy because the method of introduction bypasses the stomach and intestines. This translates into no upset stomach and no intestinal problems like cramping, nausea or diarrhea.
• IV therapy allows for high-dose therapies to achieve effective outcomes. Research has shown that there are specific blood or tissue concentrations of certain nutrients that must be reached in order for these levels to become pharmacologically active. Vitamin C is a good example; high doses of Vitamin C are required in the serum and intracellular fluid before it can exert its benefits, and high concentrations cannot be achieved by taking the nutrient orally. Only IV therapy infusions can deliver pharmacologically effective doses required for total wellness without upsetting the gastrointestinal system.

Improving Your Immune System

• IV therapy works to improve the ability of your immune system to fight off infections. Poor nutrition, health and the aging process can weaken our immunity, potentially leading to more severe and/or frequent illnesses. Research has shown that proper nutrition can help the immune system revert to its former strength, both faster and efficiently. This is vitally important for people who have undergone surgery, are more advanced in age, or consistently deal with a compromised immune system. Our immune system IV therapies can provide any of these nutrients and benefits:
• Vitamin A - strengthens mucosal surfaces and helps fight infection
• Vitamin C - boosts the effectiveness of other nutrients in the immune system
• Vitamin D - produces an antimicrobial response vital in fighting disease
• Vitamin E - prevents hepatitis B and tetanus, especially in the elderly
• Zinc – helps T cells, skin and other immune cells function properly

Radiant Skin

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and it needs proper nourishment to stay healthy. Nourishment should come from what we eat, but even a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables is often not enough. If you are seeking to boost your skin health, intravenous vitamin therapy is an ideal solution.

Vitamins For Skin Health

Vitamin C is essential for body wellness.  It functions as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, as well as promoting elasticity and collagen production in the skin. This helps your skin look younger and can stall or prevent the formation of age spots.

How Does Vitamin C Protect Your Body?

Sun damage from ultraviolet light can create free radicals that damage the skin. Vitamin C, however, is an antioxidant, as it therefore helps to neutralize free radicals. Having an optimal amount of circulating vitamin C in your body strengthens your defenses by neutralizing the free radicals from overexposure to the sun.

IV vitamin therapy allows for high-dose vitamin C treatments. This means that your body can handle a higher dose of vitamin C than would be possible were you to consume it orally. The bottom line is that more vitamin C means healthier, younger looking skin!

MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane)

MSM, also known as methyl-sulfonyl-methane, is an essential nutrient in the body.  It is found in certain meats, dairy products, and vegetables, and acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. In addition to treating autoimmune disorders, osteoarthritis, and a variety of other muscle and joint disorders, administration of IV MSM also helps promote healthy, clear skin. A few of the skin conditions that MSM can treat are:

• Acne
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Dermatitis
• Eczema

B Vitamins

There are eight different essential B vitamins. All are vital to the production and maintenance of healthy skin. Research shows that B vitamins help prevent skin conditions ranging from sun damage to acne, dermatitis, dry skin, hyperpigmentation and more.

Myers' cocktail is one of the best ways to get an adequate dose of B vitamins such as B-12, B-6, and panthenol (a form of B-5).  The exact makeup of Myers’ cocktail depends on the specific needs of the patient. B vitamins promote healthy, youthful skin.

Magnesium

This mineral is an anti-allergy nutrient that helps to cleanse the skin and soothe areas that are prone to allergic reactions. It also aids in the treatment and prevention of both acne breakouts and wrinkles.

Vitamin D Enhances Your Wellness

Proper intake of vitamin D is usually overlooked, and can lead to a variety of medical complications and poor overall health. Many people are unaware of the importance of vitamin D consumption. Vitamin D is absorbed by the body through your diet and exposure to the sun. Many people, however, are at risk for vitamin D deficiency before it is detected. Our busy schedules, and time spent indoors, decrease the amount of vitamin D absorbed.  Vitamin D plays an important role in helping the body to absorb other essential nutrients from foods, such as calcium, iron and zinc.

People with a vitamin D deficiency are at risk for cardiovascular disease, weakened bones, skeletal deformities, cognitive impairments, asthma and cancer. Whether you are currently dealing with these conditions or are at risk, proper amounts of vitamin D can help you regain your health. If you are found to be deficient in vitamin D, Vitamin D injections will be very beneficial.
