IV Therapies
Intravenous (I.V.) therapy is a method of providing vitamins, minerals and other natural therapeutic substances directly into the bloodstream. This form of delivery bypasses the digestive tract, where many nutrients may be partially or fully lost due to poor absorption.
The Advantages of I.V. Therapy
IV therapy allows us to reach therapeutic levels of vitamins and minerals to treat specific health conditions with fewer side effects. High oral doses of vitamins and minerals such as B-vitamins, Vitamin C and Magnesium may cause stomach upset or intestinal discomfort. I.V. therapy allows us to reach optimal levels of these nutrients without these uncomfortable side effects.
