Thinking About IV Vitamins: Will You Reap Benefits from Them?

Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is the administration of liquid vitamin solutions directly to a
person's vein. IV Vitamin therapy solutions, also known as "banana bags," provide the body the
nutrients it needs right away. Beneath all these, there is more to IV vitamin therapy than just
shedding the excess pounds.

The Advantages of IV Vitamins Over Oral Vitamins

IV vitamin therapy is favored over oral vitamins because the body can easily absorb the nutrients
since the vitamins are directly introduced to the system. The organs can easily receive these
nutrients which they can use to repair or regenerate cells.

Oral vitamins pass through several organs before the body can make use of the nutrients. Oral
vitamins undergo a process called "first pass," where they are synthesized in the liver first. Opting
for IV vitamins can help alleviate the burden put upon the liver.

What's great about IV vitamin therapy is that it results in "tissue saturation." In this process, the
nutrients are brought forth to the areas where they are needed, without loss, since they don't pass
by the liver anymore.

Over time, the intestines' capacity for absorption is lessened. There is also a decrease in the
production of pancreatic enzymes and hydrochloric acid, which aide in processing food which
contains the nutrients we need. As a result, nutritional deficiencies take place, especially in older
people. Oral vitamins are not advisable because they need to pass through the said organs. This
is why IV vitamin therapy is recommended for people who suffer from the natural effects of the
aging process. The result is immediate.

Here are Some of the Advantages of IV Vitamin Administration

As it has been said, IV vitamin therapy is preferred because it can directly introduce the needed
vitamins to the bloodstream. That means you don't have to wait for the positive effects because
they don't have to pass through the stomach, intestines, and liver.

Lesser side effects have also been noted in IV vitamin therapy. Since IV vitamins don't have to be
utilized by the intestines, liver, and stomach, you will not experience uncomfortable side effects
such as cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. These events usually take place when people take mega
doses of Vitamin C or Magnesium.

With IV vitamin therapy, your body is supplied the adequate amount of nutrients that it requires in
order for the different organs to work well. Oral vitamins deliver a lesser amount because the

vitamins pass through the liver and get excreted by the body afterwards. As for Vitamin C, one
needs to have increased ascorbic acid levels in the serum and intracellular fluid for the vitamin to
work effectively.

Best of all, IV vitamin administration has been proven effective in treating many ailments and
conditions. People who want to lose weight can also benefit from IV vitamins. In most weight loss
clinics, IV vitamins are used in weight loss plans.

Perhaps the downside of IV therapy is that it will hurt in the beginning because a needle needs to
be inserted through your skin. But its benefits can be worth the little ouch you're about to feel in
the beginning. After all, if there's no pain, there's no gain.
