IV Therapy and Nutrient Injections

IV Nutritional Therapy is often used for its wide range of benefits, which can include:

• Increased energy
• Enhanced immunity
• Improved mental focus
• Longevity and Anti-aging
• Improved gut health
• Improved sleep quality
• and more...

IV treatments are administered directly into your veins, giving you faster results. The powerful results occur due to the concentration of the nutrients used plus the fact that it bypasses the digestive tract. 

IV Therapy has been used for decades. It provides a very safe and effective option for a variety of health issues. 

These are personalized treatments, customized and designed to address your unique healthcare needs.

IV Therapy benefits a variety of individuals, from those who are fatigued, trying to heal from chronic illness including gut issues, suffering nutrient deficiencies, or weakened immune system issues, plus those desiring the benefits of anti-aging and improved fitness performance.  

If you suffer from a deficiency of a particular vitamin or mineral, IV vitamin therapy can be of enormous benefit. 

A person suffering with particular pre-existing illnesses may not benefit from IV nutrient therapy. For instance, if someone has a heart condition, that person is at a higher risk for an overload of fluids as a result of the treatment.

IV nutrient therapy has risks just like any medical treatment you might be considering. The best thing to do is consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional about your medical history and see if IV nutrient therapy is right for you.

This is an important question. Let’s review the benefits, risks, and who is the ideal candidate for receiving treatment, so you can make the most informed decision possible.

First, it’s important to assess any potential risks you could encounter. IV Therapy is very safe, but complications may occur if not administered correctly.

As with any treatment that involves an IV, there’s always a risk of infection. Although it’s not very likely, if the infusion is improperly administered or if any non-sterile equipment is used, bacteria can be transmitted directly to your bloodstream and then spread quickly. While it doesn’t happen often, in order to best prevent infection, it’s important to speak with a licensed medical professional and ask them to walk you through the steps they take to ensure safe, healthy treatment for their patients every time.

Another potential risk, though unlikely, is vitamin overdose. The nutrients used in IV Vitamin Therapy are good for you but if you have more in your system than your body can process, that can be deleterious. There are many different side effects people could experience when excess nutrients enter the body, most of them transitory, but if very excessive, it can have a lasting impact on your internal organs.

Blood clots or vein inflammation are other risk factors to consider, although these can be addressed if monitored by a medical professional. As with any infusion, it’s important that a healthy dose is given and that each patient’s reaction to the infusion is closely observed and managed.

Patients who benefit from injections and IVs include those with:

• Special nutritional needs due to their genetics
• Long-term malabsorption due to poor gut health
• Toxicity that has overwhelmed your ability to repair, detoxify and absorb
• Infections that have weakened your immune system’s ability to defend you and kill unwanted organisms
• Chronic fatigue
• Autoimmune disease
• Excessive stress or unhealthy lifestyle habits
• Aging – with aging comes decreased ability to digest, absorb, detoxify, and repair.
• And more

Available to you is a wide array of both IVs and injections. The clinicians of Root Cause Medical Clinic will help you decide what’s right for you. Your comprehensive health history, lab test findings, genetics and your symptoms are all taken into account when designing your IV and/or injection protocol.

The quantity of ingredients provided in IVs are at therapeutic levels that are impossible to be delivered orally. Either your gut would be unable to absorb it or the nutrient itself would be broken down by your gut and not delivered to the tissues that really need it.

Even the best oral supplements can be compromised in their efficacy due to poor digestive or liver function that diminishes your ability to absorb them.

The right IV can quickly jumpstart your body’s ability to absorb critical nutrients, leading to faster healing of your tissues and organs.

Depending on your condition, IV therapy is sometimes the only effective treatment for you. Your IV program is tailored to your exact nutritional deficiencies with powerful quantities of healing nutrients.

IV nutrition benefits you in a variety of ways such as boosting your immune system, boosting your energy, fighting acute and chronic infections, toxicity, and more.

Depending on the type of IV you are receiving, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. IVs are delivered in comfortable reclining chairs and you receive full-time monitoring by the clinical staff. Your initial IV may be slower to get you accustomed to it and then subsequent IVs can be faster.

This form of treatment isn’t typically covered by most insurance policies.
