IV Therapy

What is IV nutrition?

IV nutrition is an alternative way to get the nutrients your body needs to function at an optimal state. While you get most necessary nutrients by eating a well-balanced diet, you might also boost your body’s nutrients by taking nutritional supplements orally. 

Instead of getting your nutrients through your diet or with supplements, IV nutrition delivers the nutrients directly into your bloodstream. You’ll sit comfortably at Optimized Wellness with an IV drip going directly into a vein in your arm. Each session takes 15-90 minutes, and you can relax, listen to music, or read during the process.

IV nutrition is an option for people who lack or have unbalanced nutrients. These include:

• Vitamins
• Minerals 
• Amino acids
• Antioxidants

It might seem excessive or unnecessary to get nutrients via an intravenous drip when you could simply adjust your diet or take supplements. However, IV nutrition allows for much better absorption. Instead of traveling through your digestive tract, the nutrients go directly into your bloodstream for complete and nearly immediate absorption. 

Why might I need IV nutrition?

Your body might not get the nutrients it needs for one or more of several reasons. Factors like stress, injuries, working out, and traveling can affect you in more ways than you might think, resulting in nutrient depletion. When this happens, IV nutrition acts as a fast fix.

A few symptoms and complications that might indicate your need for IV nutrition at Optimized Wellness are:

• A hangover
• Jetlag
• Fatigue
• Stress
• Slow athletic recovery
• Dehydration
• Headaches
• Inflammation

All of these can indicate a nutrient deficiency, meaning you don’t have enough of one or more micronutrients. During the first part of your visit to Optimized Wellness, you’ll discuss your concerns with one of the expert practitioners. They can help you explore the many vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can improve your wellness and reset your body’s nutrition. 

What are the benefits of IV nutrition?

The benefits that you experience from IV nutrition at Optimized Wellness can be diverse and abundant. They depend on the specific nutrient or combination of nutrients included in your intravenous drip solution.
