Wellness 101: Why choose IV infusions over oral supplementation?

• Higher Absorption Rates: When vitamins are administered intravenously, they bypass the digestive system and go directly into the bloodstream. This allows for much higher concentrations of vitamins to be delivered to the body’s cells compared to oral supplements, which must be broken down in the stomach and intestines, where absorption can be less efficient due to various factors like digestive health and the presence of certain enzymes.
• Convenience: For those who have difficulty swallowing pills or who have malabsorption issues due to medical conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease, a benefit of IV infusion therapy can provide a more effective and convenient way to receive necessary nutrients.
• Immediate Effect: Because IVs deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream, they can work more quickly than oral supplements. This immediate effect can be particularly beneficial for those seeking quick relief from symptoms like dehydration, hangovers, or nutrient deficiencies.
• Customization: Vitamin drips can be customized to meet the optimize nutritional needs of an individual at the cellular level. This means that the types and amounts of vitamins and minerals in the IV can be adjusted based on a person’s health status, goals, and deficiencies.
• Dosage: We can give larger quantities of nutrients via IV than can be taken orally. This is because many oral water-soluble supplements will become un-absorbable after a certain dosage because the GI system becomes saturated.
• Reduced Gastrointestinal Side Effects: Some people have sensitive stomachs or conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that make it difficult to tolerate high doses of vitamins orally. Since IVs bypass the digestive system, they can prevent gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or diarrhea that can accompany high-dose oral supplements. This is particularly true with supplements such as B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C.
