IV Nutrition and Wellness Shots

What is IV nutrition?

IV vitamin infusions are a blend of specially selected vitamins and minerals given to the patient via a cannula and drip inserted into an arm vein.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause numerous health problems, but getting enough micronutrients from your diet isn’t always easy. Eating a varied diet containing lots of fruits and vegetables is the best way to maintain good health, but research indicates that a significant proportion of the nutrients you consume aren’t absorbed into your blood.

Many people take supplements to try and ensure they receive enough micronutrients. However, as these also go through the digestive system, you may not be getting the full benefit from them either. IV nutrition gets around this problem by bypassing digestion and introducing vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream.

Why would I need IV nutrition and wellness shots?

There are several key benefits of having IV nutrition and wellness shots. Firstly, they can treat excessive tiredness and chronic fatigue that could be caused by vitamin deficiency. Secondly, they boost the body’s immune system to help ward off disease and ill health.

Patients also report improvement in a range of health conditions, including:

• Fibromyalgia
• Sleep problems
• Chronic stress
• Chronic pain
• Migraines
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Seasonal allergic rhinitis

The potential benefits of IV nutrition and wellness shots are still coming to light, but they show promise as a safe, effective treatment.

What kinds of IV nutrition and wellness shots are available?

Various blends of micronutrients are available, most containing essential vitamins C, D, B complex, and B12. Examples of well-established infusions include:

Myers’ cocktail

The original vitamin and mineral infusion is based on the pioneering work of John Myers, MD. The Myers’ cocktail contains magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, and there are decades of patient feedback on record confirming its effectiveness in boosting vitality and energy levels.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant that comes from the liver. It’s used intravenously for a variety of medical purposes, including preventing side effects from chemotherapy and improving blood flow and quality. Glutathione could help with anti-aging and detoxification in an IV vitamin infusion.

You can also receive shots containing a single vitamin, like B12, or a selected group of micronutrients.
