Learn about intravenous vitamin therapy

Intravenous vitamin therapy, also referred to as intravenous micronutrient therapy or hydration therapy, is a method of administering concentrated doses of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This approach facilitates faster absorption of nutrients, surpassing what is possible through food or supplements. A tiny tube is inserted into a vein to introduce the liquids, and the infusions generally last between 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the vein size and cocktail volume. IV vitamin therapy is popular among celebrities and is obtainable at various IV bars, drip bars, and IV lounges. One of the widely used formulas for IV vitamin therapy is the Myers' cocktail, which involves a blend of high-potency B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, mixed with sterile water.

What is the latest on intravenous vitamin therapy?

IV vitamin therapy is said to be most effective for individuals who are unable to consume enough nutrients due to an insufficient intake of food or an illness that interferes with nutrient absorption. However, some proponents argue that IV vitamin therapy can also promote wellness in individuals who do not have vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Clinics and companies that provide high-dose IV vitamin formulations such as the Myers' cocktail claim that these infusions can accomplish the following:

  • Alleviate dehydration resulting from excessive exercise or alcohol consumption
  • Enhance the immune system, although the precise mechanism is unclear
  • Improve energy levels and reduce fatigue
  • Relieve stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Eliminate toxins from the body
  • Promote healthier skin
  • Treat hangovers and headaches

IV vitamin therapy vendors also maintain that infusions are superior to dietary sources of vitamins because they can be administered to individuals with food sensitivities, deliver high quantities of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, and allegedly produce beneficial effects within the cells and mitochondria. The Meyers' cocktail contains Magnesium chloride, B-complex vitamins, calcium gluconate, and B12, while Multi-Trace 7 contains zinc, copper, selenium, and manganese.

Immune Booster:

Boosts your Immunity, Energy levels, Mental Clarity, Focus, and Mood.

Maintaining an optimal nutritional environment in the body is essential for human health, and a healthy lifestyle, a well-balanced diet, and oral supplements are important steps to ensure optimal performance. Intravenous (IV) vitamin treatments are an effective way to enhance your immune system's defense against cold and flu symptoms, infections, and viruses by delivering vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly to your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system, ensuring full nutrient absorption, and naturally detoxifying your body by removing harmful free radicals that contribute to toxin build-up and impaired immune function. Regular administration of immunity-supporting IV treatments every 3-4 months can prevent long-term cellular damage caused by free radicals. IV therapy for your immune system can deliver high doses of essential nutrients, maintain nutritional balances and optimal nutritional environments, increase antioxidant levels and protection, facilitate detoxification and removal of damaging compounds, help maintain a healthy gut, and deliver quick and effective hydration to help body cells carry oxygen and prevent toxins build-up that affects the immune system.

Fountain of Youth:

Cellular Regeneration, Hydration, Hair & Nail Growth

Aging is a complex process that involves the reduction in the number of stem cells responsible for organ and tissue regeneration, resulting in visible signs such as wrinkles and joint problems, as well as silent health threats like chronic low-grade inflammation. The Anti-Aging IV treatment is designed to harness the regenerative properties of stem cells to counteract these effects. Additionally, the Vitamin IV drip for glowing skin treatment is an effective way to ensure the body receives much-needed nutrients quickly and efficiently, promoting healthy skin function and protecting it from oxidative stress through the use of glutathione, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin B12. The Anti-Aging IV Drip contains a blend of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help repair skin cells, promote hair and nail growth, and improve skin elasticity, leading to a more youthful appearance and further support for age-related wrinkles and skin pigmentation.

Hang-Over Cure:

A perfect pick-me up for the day after! Blend of Vitamins, Nutrients & Anti-Oxidants

Vitamin IV therapy has been used in medicine for decades and is commonly used in hospitals to administer essential nutrients, medication, and hydration to patients. IV therapy is the fastest way to deliver fluids, electrolytes, medicines, and vitamins to the body, promoting faster recovery and supporting the immune system. However, there is a small risk of infection. Vitamin IV therapy for hangovers works by delivering intravenous fluids, a cocktail of vitamins, and anti-nausea and pain medication directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and allowing for immediate relief of hangover symptoms such as fatigue, thirst, nausea, headaches, and dizziness, which typically last about 24 hours. This method of delivery speeds up the recovery time and is especially helpful when consuming anything orally is difficult due to nausea.

Is there anything I should know, such as side effects?

IV vitamin therapy, like any IV treatment, carries potential risks, including increased vulnerability to infection, blood clots, and burning sensations at the injection site. People with magnesium or potassium abnormalities, kidney disease, or those who use diuretics or excessive alcohol may experience heart rhythm abnormalities or muscle weakness when receiving magnesium or potassium-containing infusions. High-dose vitamin infusions can lead to fluid overload in people with heart conditions or high blood pressure, causing temporary or permanent damage to the kidneys, brain, or heart. Rapid infusion can cause low blood pressure, resulting in light-headedness and fainting. Studies have linked infusions of vitamin and mineral combinations to depression, insomnia, and upset stomach, and excessive intake of vitamins and minerals may cause allergic reactions, peripheral neuropathy, and other harm. Finally, the safety of IV vitamin therapy for pregnant and breastfeeding women is unknown.
