IV Therapy
While you may take a sufficient number of supplemental vitamins and minerals each day to ensure your good health, many of those intended nutrients don’t successfully make it into your bloodstream where they act fast to support your systems. Tablets and capsules carry an absorption rate of anywhere from 25 to 80 percent, depending on your health, your age and the manufacturing process of the supplements. IV vitamin therapy, on the other hand, delivers anywhere from 90 to 100 percent useful absorption. Drip IV therapy is safe and effective at the Downtown New York City offices of an IV therapy specialist. Call Vitality NP NYC today to find out if IV therapy can help you.
What Is IV Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) treatment is a medical technique that bypasses the digestive system to ensure the immediate absorption of nutrients. Its administration puts nutrients, fluid, blood or other products into a vein, where it enters the bloodstream. IV medication has a 90 to 100 percent absorption rate. Medical professionals use this technique for effective treatment of dehydrated and nutrient-deficient patients. IV therapy falls into two categories:
- IV drip. Your certified practitioner uses a plastic catheter inserted into the vein to let an infusion of the fluid enter your bloodstream slowly. This procedure takes 45 to 60 minutes, with an average of 250 to 1000 ml of fluids injected per session.
- IV push. A previously inserted plastic catheter is used for the IV infusion of fluid for 15 to 20 minutes under a trained specialist’s supervision.
IV therapy must be performed by a qualified provider in a safe clinical setting. In Downtown New York City, Svetlana Pyatigorskaya offers expert anti-aging and nutritional drip IV therapy at Vitality NP NYC. With advanced training in IV infusion techniques, this nurse practitioner (NP) successfully uses IV drip therapy to treat and manage various conditions and illnesses.
What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?
IV vitamin therapy is the most prominent of modern IV applications. It delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Nutritional IV infusions consisting of various vitamins and minerals boost your health and energy levels. This is an elective procedure that doesn’t treat life-threatening medical conditions, but rather improves your overall well-being. Some of the common types of cocktails used for a vitamin IV drip include:
- Myers Cocktail. This customized compound typically consists of magnesium, B vitamins and vitamin C. It’s an anti-aging therapy that helps strengthen your immunity, boost energy levels and reverse many of the signs of aging.
-
This popular protocol for regenerative IV therapy enables cell regeneration and detoxification. The mixture of ingredients also helps with the treatment of multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and other illnesses.
-
- Immunity booster IV.
-
- NAD+ anti-aging IV therapy.
-
- Vitamin C IV therapy. Compared to the Myers Cocktail, this protocol uses a higher dose of the vitamin. This high-dose vitamin concertation helps manage cancer side effects, infections, Lyme disease, chronic viral infections and allergies, and other conditions.
- Hydrogen peroxide IV. An alternative health therapy containing a safe dilution of hydrogen peroxide administered intravenously to fight off infection, this therapeutic option inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms.
- IV therapy for weight loss. This process works by boosting your body’s metabolism. It combines hydrating fluids, as well as a special formulation of vitamins and lipotropics to help you achieve your weight loss goals when administered in conjunction with diet and exercise.
- IV hydration. This IV drip therapy helps with the loss of fluids due to health problems, such as vomiting, diarrhea or hangover. Athletes commonly use IV hydration to maximize their performance.
Is IV Vitamin Therapy a Trendy Fad?
IV therapy is popular due to proven successful results for treating and managing various medical and age-related conditions. It’s not a trendy fad because research also shows its effectiveness. There are no gastrointestinal side effects, issues with absorption or loss of potency, unlike other forms of vitamin intake. Properly supervised and personally compounded, a vitamin infusion provides a lengthy list of benefits that include:
- Healthier skin
- Boosts to your immune system
- Reduced hangover symptoms
- Energy boost
- Better complexion
- Boosted fertility
- Necessary hydration after an illness, such as the flu
- Stress relief
