Is Vitamin IV Therapy the future of Vitamin Supplements?
As with all advancements in alternative medicine, there’s no denying the therapeutic benefits of vitamin supplements as opposed to more invasive treatments for common ailments. But where does vitamin IV therapy fit in the grand scheme of things? Is intravenous therapy setting the new standard for holistic medicine, or just a fad that’s going to fade to the background?
If you ask us here at IntraV, we’d say it’s just the beginning of a new era of health and wellness. Read on for five reasons we believe intravenous therapy is here to stay.
#1: It works with your body; not against it.
So many conventional methods of medicine involve harsh chemicals, hormone disruptors, and antibiotics to combat symptoms. Many times, these options only address the visible effects of sickness — not the root cause.
Holistic medicine, and more specifically, vitamin IV therapy, does the opposite. After figuring out areas your body might need some extra attention through one of our diagnostic tests, you’ll be able to curate your ideal blend with the help of our certified nurse practitioners. From there, you’ll be well on your way to feeling — and staying — better for the long haul.
#2: Higher absorption rates bring maximum benefits.
As opposed to the more typical vitamins taken orally, vitamin IV therapy is absorbed directly into the bloodstream (or, if IM shots are more your vibe, into the muscle). Bypassing the digestive system allows your body to keep all of the nutrients thrumming through your veins. In turn, you get more of what you’re hoping to get from your vitamins, letting them do the heavy-lifting for you.
#3: A variety of options are available to choose from.
What other branch of healthcare gives you so many options to choose from?
If you’re coming up empty-handed, then it’s probably a good time to check out our ever-growing vitamin drip menu or IM shot menu. From top to bottom, you’ll see good-for-you options for ailments ranging from a bad hangover, to stress, or even allergy relief or weight loss. By consulting with one of our expert staff members, you’ll be able to choose your ideal blend of drips or shots, all directed toward your unique health goals. At the end of the day, your health is in your hands, and we enjoy giving the power back to you.
#4: Treatments are easy to fit into your schedule.
No one likes carving out large chunks of their day to do things. Even if it’s something healthy, blocking out that time can be stressful and feel overwhelming. That’s luckily not the case with intravenous therapy. Most drip sessions can be completed in under an hour — or if you opt for an IM shot, no time at all.
That means you can easily plan on getting your nutrients regularly if you and your body decide it’s time to level up and keep the good stuff dripping. Our helpful and friendly staff will work with you to determine your ideal drip schedule to meet your needs and maximize the benefits of your chosen blend.
#5: There’s no special before or after-care needed.
Many traditional treatment options involve long lists of do’s and don'ts, both before and after your visit. That’s stressful, annoying, and overall not fun for anyone involved. So here at IntraV, you don’t have to worry about any of that.
The only thing we recommend for our clients is drinking plenty of water before arriving for their appointment. This ensures veins are easy to spot for placing the IV vitamin drip catheter. You can eat, relax, workout, do whatever you need to do to carry on with your daily schedule — and then make your time here relaxing and enjoyable.
When you leave after your appointment, you’ll already be feeling the healthy effects of your vitamin drip or IM shot. But don’t worry, it’ll be all good things — like more energy, lessened symptoms, and potentially a sudden urge to take on the world.
