What is IV Vitamin Therapy and What are the Benefits?
Understanding IV Vitamin Therapy and its Uses
As medical professionals become more inventive with their treatment options, the popularity of IV vitamin therapy has skyrocketed. Licensed naturopathic professionals use this innovative treatment to give patients a variety of micronutrients via intravenous routes. To further understand this sort of vitamin therapy, let’s look at a few different aspects and applications of this treatment:
MYERS COCKTAIL
Named after Dr. John Myer, this general term is used to describe this type of treatment that can be personalized to address any specific health need or concern. It is not known what was in the original Myer’s Cocktail but his patients report that he used a simple syringe to deliver the infusion. Although the method of delivery is now through an IV machine, the general premise is the same. The vitamins pushed through the treatment are specific to the individual but often include vitamin C, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and B complex vitamins.
BENEFITS OF IV VITAMINS
Why is IV vitamin therapy so beneficial? The primary reason is that IV vitamins can be delivered directly to the bloodstream, enabling 100 percent rates of absorption. This differs from other types of vitamin therapies which need to travel through the digestive system and often lose a lot of their potency as a result. By delivering the IV vitamins directly to the body, patients have a higher chance of achieving optimal health and wellness in the fastest amount of time. The benefits of IV vitamin therapy include relief of allergies and colds, improved skin, increased energy, lessening of asthma symptoms, stress reduction, improved endurance in athletic pursuits, and more. The benefits of this type of medical treatment are simply too numerous to discuss as a comprehensive list.

Anybody can benefit from intravenous vitamins. Because of today’s high-maintenance society, even the healthiest of individuals are often sleep-deprived, chronically stressed, and deprived of key nutrients necessary for optimal physical function. This treatment is also especially effective in addressing hydration needs because of the rapid infusion of liquids. IV vitamin therapy can be used in the treatment protocol of a variety of illnesses and conditions including:
- Cancer

COST OF IV VITAMIN THERAPY TREATMENT
The financial cost of an IV vitamin therapy varies and is dependent on a variety of factors including location specifics and administrative protocols.
