IV Vitamin Therapy

IV Vitamin TherapyWhether you want clearer skin, a healthier immune system, or even an easy way to lose weight, a new trend known as intravenous vitamin therapy claims to do it all (and more!). Though IV vitamin therapy has been around since the 1970s, it has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it promises to improve health and solve a wide range of problems by infusing vitamins and minerals directly into the patient’s bloodstream.

If you are looking for IV vitamin therapy in Denver, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to learn more about vitamin infusion therapy from Denver South Chiropractic.

IV Vitamin Therapy: How It Works

IV vitamin therapy was first developed in the 1970s by Dr. John Myers. Through his research, the Myers’ Cocktail – which is still popular today – was developed. The cocktail contains a wide range of vitamins and nutrients, including vitamins C and B12, magnesium, and calcium, that restore hydration and improve overall health and wellness.

Today, the Myers’ Cocktail isn’t the only type of vitamin therapy. There are various solutions that can be delivered via an intravenous drip. In fact, there are vitamin drips for just about any sort of problem you can imagine.

Each infusion takes between 20 minutes and an hour, on average. Vitamin drips are administered in medical offices under the close observation of healthcare professionals to ensure safety. An IV is inserted into your vein, and liquid vitamins are administered directly into the bloodstream.

When you take vitamins or supplements by mouth, they need to be broken down by your digestive tract. This drastically reduces the amount of the vitamin that is absorbed by your body. Taking them intravenously, however, allows them to skip the digestive system and go directly into your bloodstream. This option results in 90% absorption (compared to the 50% absorption you can expect when taking vitamins orally).

Potential Uses for IV Vitamin Therapy

IV TherapyOne of the amazing things about this type of therapy is that it is effective in a wide range of situations. The Myers’ Cocktail, for example, can help with everything from asthma, allergies, and sinus and respiratory tract infections to migraines, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue syndrome, and more.

Vitamin drips are also being used to deliver quick hydration. They can be used to provide rehydration following an intense athletic event, to treat a hangover, or to improve the health and clarity of the skin.

Vitamin therapy is good for the immune system, too, and can balance hormone levels, reduce stress, and rid the body of toxins. Many types of vitamins, nutrients, and electrolytes can be administered via IV, so it is possible to use this type of therapy to treat a wide range of conditions.

Also, this type of treatment is widely used as a form of preventative medicine. By undergoing IV therapy now, you could help stave off future problems. Dehydration is a major (though often underestimated) problem among Americans. When the body becomes dehydrated, the organs, tissues, and cells all suffer. IV therapy offers instant hydration along with powerful vitamins – such as vitamin C – that can help you maintain your good health and avoid many common health problems.

Candidates for IV Vitamin Therapy

IV vitamin therapy offers numerous benefits, but it isn’t right for everyone. People who take certain medications, have certain allergies, or have congestive heart failure may not be good candidates for this treatment.

This type of treatment is especially helpful, however, for people who do not get the nutrients they need from their diets. People who have illnesses that prevent proper nutrient absorption and those who are unable to consume enough food are often excellent candidates for this type of treatment. It is also, however, appropriate for most people of average health who are looking for a bit of a “boost.” When administered by a licensed healthcare provider in the appropriate setting, vitamin drips and hydration therapy are generally safe for individuals who are healthy and free from conditions that could lead to complications.

When  determining whether this type of treatment is right for you, be sure to be honest with your doctor about any preexisting conditions or allergies you may have as well as any prescription medications, vitamins, or supplements you are currently taking.
