IV Nutrient Therapy (IVNT)
What is IV Nutrient Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) Nutritional Therapy is a method of feeding vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream and is used to correct intra-cellular nutrient deficiencies. Digestive problems can and do result in multiple vitamin and nutrient deficiencies and these problems are more common in those that are already ill and in the aged. With limitation in the digestive processes being present in increasingly large numbers of patient, the oral intake of such high doses is simply not possible. Cells can absorb more nutrients in IV form in a one treatment compared to oral intake. The nutrients enter the bloodstream directly in the most bio-available form, reaching the energy-producing powerhouses called the mitochrondia and producing an instant energy boost.
Benefits of IVNT
IV nutritional therapy can provide enormous health benefits depending on the condition(s) being treated, the specific protocol(s) used, the number of treatments and the overall health of the patient being treated. In many respects, IV nutritional therapy is a preventive aging measure since it improves the nutritional content inside of the cells. Some of the specific benefits that patients may experience include:
-
Increased energy
-
An overall sense of well-being
-
Improved sports performance
-
Improved healing and recovery from sports “wear and tear”
-
Enhanced immune support
-
Stress relief
Many chronic diseases are believed to be the result of long-term nutritional deficiencies. When the body is not absorbing micronutrients from oral intake, the next best solution would be to obtain them intravenously through the Myers' Cocktail. A Myers' Cocktail is a form of intravenous micronutrient therapy (IVNT) that delivers important nutrients right into your bloodstream where they are most needed.
The therapy is also increasingly used for aesthetics as an alternative to topical or oral medications to plump up saggy and ageing skin. Adding antioxidants into the concoction revives skin tone and smoothens the skin.
How often should one get an IVNT?
The number of infusions required will depend on your medical condition, family history and health status. Generally, most people receive one to two infusions a week, and follow up with a monthly or bi-monthly infusion after their condition has improved.
How long does it take & how will I feel?
A full Myers session may take around 45 minutes. Some patients may feel a warm flush at the cheeks or lower body parts, and a metallic taste of vitamins in the mouth during infusion, which goes away after a few minutes. As with any IV therapy, there may be mild irritation or bruising at the injection site. If you’ve tried various therapies with little success, the Myers’ Cocktail may be able to help correct your body imbalances.
IV Nutrient Therapy is a fast, safe, and extremely effective treatment for a wide range of clinical conditions. Correcting your nutritional deficiencies may be the first step towards a healthier you!
