We’ve all been there: Whether you’re battling a hangover, cold symptoms, or jet lag, sometimes you just need an instant boost. Enter intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy. Each year, more and more people are exploring IV therapy for a quick and easy pick-me-up that’s much more effective than popping vitamins or downing smoothies.
Let’s talk about all things IV therapy, including what it is, how it’s beneficial, and what to expect from your infusion.
First things first, what is IV therapy? IV therapy is a popular medspa treatment that uses intravenous delivery to transfer nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
There are different cocktails of IV vitamins available, with each containing a specific combination of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to address unique needs. You can even work with your Vitalyc clinician to choose your own IV therapy “cocktail” based on your specific needs.
An IV therapy session takes around 45 minutes to an hour. During treatment, a chosen cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids is transferred to your bloodstream through an IV needle inserted into a vein. A single session can truly work wonders!
B12 shots and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), or NAD+, are also popular and effective treatment options similar to IV vitamin therapy.
B12 injections—which ultimately reduce fatigue, weakness, depression, and memory loss—can help your body produce new red blood cells, improve your immune system, raise your energy levels, boost your metabolism, improve your mood, and more.
NAD+ IV therapy reduces signs of aging, boosts your energy, enhances your cognitive function, improves your sleep patterns, and boosts your metabolism.
Why choose IV therapy? Because there are numerous health and wellness benefits! Men and women alike choose IV therapy because it is:
IV therapy helps those suffering from health issues that lead to symptoms of fatigue and dehydration. Treatments can be used to address a variety of scenarios, including dehydration, flu symptoms, depression, fatigue, hangovers, anxiety, stress, and jet lag. Additionally, IV vitamin infusions help boost antioxidants and filter out toxins to reduce unwelcome and premature signs of aging.
IV therapy is significantly more effective than more gradual methods, such as taking supplements or eating nutritious foods. In fact, IV therapy ensures 100 percent absorption of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, whereas other methods only offer around 20 percent absorption at best. It is especially beneficial for people who have medical conditions or take medications that make it difficult to absorb vitamins.
One of the biggest benefits of receiving IV therapy is how quickly it works. Results are felt in as little as a couple of hours following the infusion, making IV therapy ideal for times when immediate nutrient delivery is preferred over gradual delivery.
Multi-beneficial, fast, and effective—what’s the catch? That’s the great news: There isn’t one! IV therapy side effects are not only very rare but are also quite mild when they do occur. At most, you might experience mild irritation and/or bruising at your IV site following treatment, but many people have no side effects whatsoever!
As you can see, there are numerous perks to IV therapy, vitamin B12 injections, and NAD+ infusions. If you’re considering IV therapy, you should try it this year!
