Vitamin and Mineral IV Therapy

IV Vitamin & Mineral Therapy is one of the most popular and effective adjuvant therapies we offer in the clinic. And, as with all things, you could find a lot of misinformation about what IV vitamin therapy is used for, how mineral hydration therapy can help you, and what are the pros and cons of using vitamin IV therapy in a wellness protocol.


Instead of looking all over the internet for other people’s opinions and research about IV Therapy, we want to provide you with information directly from a board certified integrative osteopathic physician who specializes in evidence-based, root-cause medicine and integrative therapies.


What is IV Therapy Anyway?
IV vitamin therapy delivers essential vitamins and minerals, suspended in a saline solution, directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (into your vein) infusion. IV delivery allows the vitamins and minerals to bypass the digestive system, where stomach acids and poor gut-health create absorption issues, and increase the optimal uptake and bioavailable levels of these nutrients. 


IV vitamin therapy is used for numerous health imbalances and as an adjunct therapy in overall wellness treatments. By providing the body with what it needs to do its job of health-maintenance best, this natural 


At the Preventative Medicine clinic here in the Colchester Vermont area, we offer a few IV options including: 

  • Vitamin/mineral IV containing a blend of preservative-free vitamin C, B vitamins, and magnesium.
  • A glutathione IV that contains 1200mg of glutathione—an important antioxidant that boosts your body’s ability to prevent cell damage and support detoxification functions.


The Top 3 Pros Of IV Vitamin/Mineral Therapy

Deep Cellular Hydration

Even if you’re drinking a gallon of water a day, there is research that indicates nearly 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. We may drink water through the day but we don’t often think about the de-hydrating habits we have (like coffee, soda, alcohol, and excess salt). The saline solution that IV vitamins are suspended in is deeply hydrating to the bloodstream and replenishes a much-needed cellular hydration. 


Bypassing The Digestive Tract

As mentioned above, everything we eat is subject to the acids and pathways of the digestive tract. We lose a large percentage of the vitamins and minerals from food and supplements when we ingest them orally. Industrialized farming practices, poor gut health, overly processed food…..these have all contributed to our diet being deficient in the essential vitamin/mineral balance we need to feel our best. IV Vitamin/Mineral therapy bypasses the digestive tract, providing immediate and full uptake of essential nutrients.

 

Energy Boost

Our dependency and addiction to coffee and sugar is, in large part, due to the fact that we’re so chronically fatigued. But caffeine and sugar don’t replenish and nourish in the way we need to be truly energetic. They are just bandaids that help us feel better temporarily while exacerbating the underlying problem. IV Vitamin/Mineral Therapy provides the complex B vitamins that replenish depleted stores and support the natural regeneration process. In short, we feel more energetic and alive when we’re nourished in this way.


The Con of IV Therapy

Could Be Uncomfortable
IV Therapy comes with a little needle prick, but our experienced phlebotomist makes this part as painless as possible. We follow strict hygiene protocols to minimize the small risk of infection that comes from any skin-prick, and most people hardly notice the brief moment of discomfort. It’s possible that some redness, swelling, or itching could arise (sometimes this is a reaction to the glue in the medical tape we use to hold the IV line in your arm - but we have options!) but these instances are rare.

 

If you want to experience an IV Vitamin/Mineral Therapy session we recommend you come to our medical clinic where you’ll receive the best care and we can answer any questions you may have about your health and wellness goals.
