IV Nutrients

Let’s face it; our diet isn’t always what it should be. Have days gone by without eating vegetables? Perhaps you are recovering from a surgery or recent illness and haven’t been eating well? Or maybe you over-indulged a bit last night?

IV nutrient infusions are an excellent way to replace fluids and nutrients quickly and efficiently. Unlike taking an oral supplement, the IV or injection route bypasses what’s known as the first-pass effect, or the filtering of ingested products through the digestive system. Delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream allows greater availability and absorption; the bioavailability of intravenous delivery is 100%, whereas the bioavailability of ingested products varies greatly depending on other substances present in your body (i.e., caffeine, alcohol, other medications) or conditions you may have (i.e., Crohn’s disease, chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel disease, celiac disease, stress).

What’s infused?

Nutrient infusions can be a mixture of vitamins, trace elements, minerals, amino acids, and anti-oxidants.

Common ingredients include:

• vitamin blends (such as B vitamins, Vitamin C)
• mineral blends (such as magnesium, zinc, selenium)
• amino acid blends (such as glutamine, lysine, and carnitine)
• medications (such as Zofran or Toradol)

Some nutrients are provided by injection rather than infusion. These can be either stand-alone services or IV infusion add-ons. Common injections available are:

• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• MIC (also known as lipotrophic, or ‘fat-burner’)

IV fluids without additives are also available. This option helps replace fluids in times when it’s difficult to adequately orally rehydrate:

• dehydration
• recovery from illness
• following long athletic workouts or events
• persistent nausea

What else you need to know:

To ensure your safety and the appropriateness of an infusion:

• A history and brief physical exam will be completed before infusion, including taking your vital signs
• Some infusions will require lab work before receiving the infusion
• IV nutrients may not be safe for clients with kidney disease, kidney failure, or congestive heart failure
