IV Therapy Q&A
To learn more about the treatment, read the FAQs below:
What Is IV Therapy?
IV therapy is the delivery of vitamins and minerals through an intravenous (IV) drip. The cocktail or combination of these nutrients depends on your objective or what your body needs.
The benefit, though, remains the same. By giving them intravenously, your body absorbs the nutrients more effectively.
It is even better than oral supplementation, which has a low absorption rate of 20%.
How Does IV Therapy Work?
When you consume vitamins and minerals, they go through the stomach. This process may decrease the bioavailability, or the absorption rate, of them.
In an IV therapy, you deliver the nutrients to your bloodstream directly.
Since you bypass the digestive system, your cells can absorb more of them. It may even boost the bioavailability of these vitamins and minerals by 100%.
