What Is IV Nutritional Therapy?

IV therapy, also referred to as intravenous therapy, IV nutrition, IV therapy or IV nutrient therapy, can have a wide range of health benefits. Nutrient deficiencies are common, leading to individuals not getting the essential nutrients their bodies need to perform optimally. IV therapy can be utilized to deliver nutrients directly into the vein, resulting in faster results as compared to oral or other traditional routes.

ALL THE INDIVIDUAL VITAMINS:

Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is an antioxidant that plays an important role in the body. It not only protects the body’s cells from damage, but it is also needed to maintain the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Some studies have shown that it also helps improve brain function in people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Most people gain the essential amount of ascorbic acid needed from their diet. Others may require supplementation. Without the proper amount of vitamin C, people are at risk for cardiovascular illness, compromised immune systems, premature aging, increased stress response, and poor energy production. Ascorbic acid is also found in foods, such as citrus fruits, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, raw bell peppers, and strawberries. It is one of many antioxidants that may protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants like cigarette smoke. Free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Ascorbic acid may also be beneficial for patients with colds, macular degeneration, inflammation, skin aging, and in those who have suffered from a stroke.

Vita Complex: This mixture is packed with B-complex vitamins, including (B1) THIAMINE, (B2) RIBOFLAVIN, (B3) NIACIN, (B5) PANTOTHENIC ACID, (B6) PYRIDOXINE, which may help keep skin and blood cells healthy and convert nutrients into energy.

(B1) THIAMINE is a water soluble vitamin heavily involved in glucose production and metabolism. It works by converting carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for healthy nerve, muscle, and heart function.

(B2) RIBOFLAVIN is essential to the formation of two major coenzymes aiding in energy metabolism, as well as growth and development. It is essential for the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

(B3) NIACIN aids in maintaining optimal energy metabolism in the body. It can boost levels of good HDL cholesterol and decrease triglycerides.

(B5) PANTOTHENIC ACID is an additional B vitamin that aids in energy production by breaking down fats and carbohydrates. It is a potent antioxidant that also helps boost the immune system and neural functions.

(B6) PYRIDOXINE is a coenzyme that assists in the formation and breakdown of amino acids, while regulating blood glucose levels. It is also involved in norepinepherine and serotonin neurotransmitter synthesis. This is important, as serotonin is associated with mood regulation. In addition, low levels of norepinephrine have been linked to certain conditions, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression.

(B12) COBALAMIN aids in the formation of brain cells, nerve cells, and red blood cells. Nearly 6% of the population under 60, and nearly 20% in those older than 60 years old, are vitamin B12 deficient. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be associated with anemia, leading to muscle weakness, numbness, nausea, weight loss, irritability, and most commonly fatigue.

Mineral Complex: This mixture is composed of Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, and Copper.

Magnesium supports muscle and nerve function, bone strength, heart health, as well as energy production. It can aid in improving sleep, reducing muscle cramps, ease migraines, and reduce the risk of kidney stones.

Manganese is required for normal neurological and brain function. It has strong antioxidant properties. It can also help reduce inflammation and regulate blood glucose. In combination with Calcium, it can decrease PMS symptoms. Research suggests that taking manganese with calcium, zinc and copper may help reduce spinal bone loss in older women.

Copper is an essential trace mineral that aids in red blood cell production, neurological and nerve health, iron absorption, and collagen and energy production.

Zinc is used to help reduce the duration of illnesses, prevent infection and speed up the body’s healing process. It is also critical in taste and smell. The body does not store excess zinc, so dietary supplementation is necessary. IV replacement is even more beneficial, as the nutrient is delivered directly into the bloodstream.

L-glutathione: L-glutathione, or simply glutathione, is a powerful antioxidant composed of amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Glutathione has many functions within the body. It is vital to mitochondrial function, necessary for the production of DNA. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means it plays an important role in removing toxins, such as mercury, from the brain and other cells. It is key in supporting immune function, metabolism, forming sperm cells, tissue building and repair, and helping with certain enzyme functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it may help fight the effects of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage healthy cells and contribute to aging and certain degenerative illnesses. Unlike most antioxidants, glutathione can be made within the human liver. Glutathione can be found in every cell of the human body, almost all mammalian tissue and in many foods, including spinach and avocados, but is poorly absorbed by the body when consumed orally. Supplements that can support glutathione production include curcumin, N-acetylcysteine, selenium, silymarin, vitamin C and vitamin E. Glutathione levels in the body naturally decline as we age, but can also be reduced by factors like stress, malnutrition, and environmental toxins.

L-taurine, otherwise known as taurine, is a conditionally essential amino acid. Unlike most amino acids, taurine doesn’t play a role in building proteins. Rather, it helps to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte and mineral balance in your cells, supporting the functions of the digestive, nervous and immune systems. It is often added to energy drinks alongside caffeine, as some studies suggest it may improve mental and athletic performance. There are many conditions that may use taurine for treatment, including congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, hepatitis, high cholesterol, and cystic fibrosis. Some evidence has shown that taurine can help to lower blood pressure and calm the sympathetic nervous system in individuals with congestive heart failure. Taurine is also frequently used for its antioxidant properties to prevent cell-damaging side effects of chemotherapy.

Amino acids (also called “the building blocks of protein”) are natural compounds that combine to form proteins in the body. When proteins are digested and broken down, they leave behind amino acids. Amino acids are crucial in helping the body break down food, repairing body tissue, growing, and performing many other bodily functions. You can find these in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and soybeans. Some people also use supplementation to boost athletic performance or improve their mood. Amino acids are categorized into three groups: essential, nonessential and conditional. Essential amino acids cannot be made within the body and must come from food sources. Nonessential amino acids are produced within the body. And lastly, conditional amino acids. These are usually not essential unless the body contains illness or stress.

Many individuals may lack the recommended levels of amino acids needed. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, disrupted sleep cycles, and more. Amino Blend injections can address these symptoms more effectively than pill or tablet forms. Ingesting a pill or tablet can be effective for some, however, it may not be well absorbed due to the harsh conditions of the gut and stomach acid in the process. Injections provide direct and optimal absorption through the bloodstream.

Amino blend could help boost your metabolism, improve energy levels, increase endurance and help to burn fat. It also provides your body essential and nonessential amino acids it requires to stay healthy.
