IV (intravenous) nutritional therapy, also known as intravenous micronutrient therapy or IV vitamin therapy, is a medical treatment in which essential nutrients are delivered directly into a patient's bloodstream through an intravenous line. This method allows for the rapid and efficient delivery of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, bypassing the digestive system.
The specific composition of IV nutritional therapy can vary depending on the individual's needs and the purpose of the treatment. Common components include:
- Vitamins: IV therapy can deliver a range of vitamins, including vitamin C, B vitamins (such as B12 and B-complex), and vitamin D.
- Minerals: Essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium may be included in the IV solution.
- Amino acids: Amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, can be administered for various health purposes.
- Antioxidants: Substances like glutathione and selenium can be used to combat oxidative stress and support the immune system.
IV nutritional therapy is promoted for several potential benefits, including:
- Enhanced energy levels
