IV (intravenous) vitamin therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and maximum effectiveness. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system and may not be fully absorbed, IV therapy provides 100% bioavailable nutrients to support energy, immune defense, and overall wellness.
What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?
IV therapy has been used since the 1980s, when Dr. John Myers pioneered the famous Myers’ Cocktail—a blend of Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, and magnesium. Today, IV therapy is highly customizable, allowing clinicians to tailor infusions to meet each person’s unique health needs.
Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy
IV vitamin infusions are used for a wide variety of health and wellness goals. Some of the most common benefits include:
-
Athletic recovery and performance support
-
Immune system boost for colds, flu, and viral infections
-
Relief for gastrointestinal conditions such as IBS, Crohn’s, and malabsorption
-
Support for chronic conditions including asthma, migraines, and fibromyalgia
-
Increased energy and reduced fatigue
-
Nutrient support after weight-loss surgery (such as gastric bypass)
How IV Therapy Works
When vitamins are taken orally, they must pass through the stomach, intestines, and liver before reaching the bloodstream. This process reduces absorption and effectiveness.
IV vitamin therapy bypasses the digestive system, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream and cells. This ensures faster, more effective absorption for optimal results.
