IV nutrition therapy (vitamin infusion / vitamin injections / micronutrient therapy) is a procedure whereby high doses of natural vitamins, minerals and/or amino acids are administered directly into the bloodstream by one of two methods: an intravenous drip or by an IV push.
Intravenous infusion therapy can help in various medical conditions and can also boost the metabolism of healthy individuals. An IV infusion is indicated to help patients with many chronic conditions as well as for sportsmen and athletes who have an intense level of physical activity and have a higher level of nutritional requirements.
About IV Therapy
IV Therapy
Keep in mind, though, that IV infusion therapy is not just for the sick. Many people use IV infusions as preventive measures to boost immunity and for anti-aging benefits. Intravenously infused nutrients can help your body fight against infections during flu seasons and epidemics.
One of the most well known nutritional IV infusion mixtures is the “Myer’s cocktail”. Myer’s cocktail is formulated to boost or kick-start cell metabolism of healthy individuals to overcome fatigue. Myers’ cocktail consists of Magnesium chloride, Calcium gluconate, B complex Vitamins, and Vitamin C and helps in reducing inflammation, mitigating stress and strengthening the immune system.

Myers Cocktail
This is an IV therapy that is nutrient-based and is used to fill the body with nutrients including vitamins and minerals among others. It is primarily used as an energy booster, which allows the safe passage of a high dose of nutrients directly to the patient’s bloodstream, making it easier to be absorbed.
IV nutrition therapy (vitamin infusion/vitamin injections/micronutrient therapy) is a procedure whereby high doses of natural vitamins, minerals and/or amino acids are administered directly into the bloodstream by one of two methods: an intravenous drip or by an IV push.
Among the various methods of nutrient and compound administration other than oral administration, intravenous IV infusion ranks highest by several measures.
IV Infusion Therapy
Intravenous or IV infusion therapy refers to the slow infusion of nutrients and other compounds which are administered directly into your blood stream. By intravenously injecting the nutrients and compound, the digestive system is bypassed, which provides for a very effective delivery method. The IV administration allows for faster absorption of the compound and avoids losses in the digestive system that occur when the same nutrient or compound are ingested orally.
IV infusion therapy also makes possible the delivery of high concentrations of nutrients and compounds without it being broken down in the digestive system or causing digestive discomfort. This rapid delivery makes it easy for your body to get the much needed nutrients quickly.
Ozone Therapy
IV Ozone therapy has shown numerous health benefits in the past as well as in the today’s world. The use of ozone is inevitable in the field of medicine. However, introduction of intravenous ozone therapy has helped to achieve the benefits of ozone therapy to its full extent. IV Ozone Therapy is the removal of a small sample of the patient’s blood, diluting it with saline, and enriching it with the addition of ozone.
The ozone is produced in an ozone generator from medical-grade oxygen gas, creating O3, which attaches to the red blood cells. Virus, bacteria, parasites, and fungus cannot live in this highly oxygenated environment. The extra oxygen supply helps to decrease the pressure within the lungs and this helps our lungs to function more efficiently.
Vitamin C Therapy
Vitamin C therapy is one of the most common forms of intravenous therapy, widely used in conjunction with traditional cancer treatment. This therapy is believed to help the body to heal faster, to lessen the pain of injuries, to improve the patient’s energy levels, and to improve the body’s resilience in recovering from viral and bacterial infections. This therapy can be also used to treat Fibromyalgia.
Administration of vitamin C therapy in cancer patients has been observed to improve the patients’ response to other therapies. With vitamin C therapy, cancer patients have much improved appetites and are more active. Vitamin C is majorly known as a powerful antioxidant that helps in protecting our bodies from a number of diseases, boosting our immune function, and increasing resistance to disease-causing infections.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation Therapy when compared to bypass surgery is a cost-efficient alternative that is comparatively safe and has been used in the US since the 1940’s. EDTA (usually used as the chelator or binding compound) is a man-made amino acid that is combined with vitamins and minerals and given intravenously.
Chelation is given in two different forms – one for treatment of heavy metals and one for cardiovascular health, although each one carries the other benefit. Each therapy is given one or two times per week for thirty or more treatments, depending on your situation. Chelation therapy must be done across several weeks in this manner to minimize the risk of harm to the kidneys, disturbing blood calcium levels.
Nutritional IV Therapy
Intravenous nutritional therapy is administering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Not only do you avoid loosing any of the strength in the digestive system, you also eliminate any gastric irritation. With this type of therapy, your body can attain optimum health faster and more effectively compared to orally taking pills and supplements.
