Vitamin IV Therapy

Understanding Vitamin IV Therapy

Vitamin IV therapy is the process of injecting a liquid mixture of minerals and vitamins via a small tube inserted into a vein. By using an IV, the vitamins are absorbed more quickly into the patient's bloodstream. In turn, patients achieve higher vitamin levels than when compared to other administration methods.
Multiple factors affect the body's ability to absorb nutrients in the stomach, such as age, health status, genetics, and metabolism. Since it is a relatively quick and easy way to deliver fluids or medication into the body's circulation, various forms of IV therapy have been in use by doctors and nurses for over a hundred years. A pharmacist will typically mix the solution according to the doctor's orders, while a qualified nurse or healthcare professional will access a vein to secure the needle in place. In addition, they'll keep a close eye to ensure the vitamin infusion is done correctly.

Vitamins or Minerals Used in Vitamin IV Therapy

Each patient has unique goals and needs for Vitamin IV therapy. With this in mind, we take an individualized approach to meet client needs. While any vitamins can be infused into the body, we focus on those that occur naturally. Common vitamins for Vitamin IV therapy include B, C, calcium, and magnesium.
In addition, Vitamin IV therapy may occasionally include amino acids and antioxidants like glutathione. Our team members can help determine which cocktail of vitamins and minerals is best for each patient's needs and desired results.

Risks of Vitamin IV Therapy

Vitamin IV therapy is relatively safe and comes with minimal risk. However, as with any medical procedure, there is always some risk involved. IV therapy involves direct access to the bloodstream, which poses a slight risk as the IV bypasses the skin, which helps your body fight off bacteria.
Our team takes every precaution to protect our patients during Vitamin IV therapy. Although the risk is minimal, only licensed medical professionals should perform Vitamin IV therapy. This helps reduce the risk of any complications. Additionally, there is the risk of receiving too much of a particular vitamin or mineral.
Vitamin overdoses may increase unwanted side effects. General risks associated with Vitamin IV therapy include blood clots, vein irritation, and inflammation (the latter of which may be painful).
