4 Signs You Need An IV Treatment

Written by Stark | Oct 9, 2022 10:21:00 PM

IV nutrient therapy is a great way to deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream to improve your overall health and wellbeing. While IV therapy can benefit anyone looking to improve their health, there are specific instances where it can be particularly useful. Here are four signs that you may need to get an IV! 

1. You're Traveling  

Traveling can take a toll on your body. Jet lag, disrupted sleep patterns, exposure to germs on airplanes and in hotels, and changes in diet can all contribute to feeling run down. IV nutrient therapy can help support your immune system and keep you feeling your best, even when you're on the road.  

One of the key nutrients in immune-supporting IV formulations is vitamin C. At the appropriate dosage (which you can only get through an IV) vitamin C has antiviral properties and can help protect you from illness. It also supports adrenal health, which is crucial when you're traveling through different time zones and experiencing stress. 

 

2. You're Fighting or Recovering from an Illness 

When you get sick, your body's nutrient needs increase. IV nutrient therapy can deliver high doses of vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream, where they can quickly reach your cells and tissues.  

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and has antiviral properties, which can help your body fight off infection. Zinc and selenium are other important nutrients that can support your immune system during illness. 

 

3. You're Feeling Run Down or Depleted  

Even if you're not sick, IV therapy can help restore your energy levels. IVs can deliver a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream, helping to rehydrate your body, reduce inflammation, and support cellular function.  

Some of the key nutrients that can help you feel more energized and rejuvenated include B vitamins, which are essential for energy production and stress management. 

 

4. You've Been Having a Bit Too Much Fun 

While it’s not the use case we want to promote…. If you've imbibed a bit too much due to vacation, parties, or other festivities – an IV treatment can help support detox pathways and improve brain function. Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant and master detoxifier, and can help protect your liver from the effects of alcohol.  

The B vitamins mentioned above can help reduce the symptoms of a hangover, and magnesium can help relax muscles and improve sleep, which also will help your recovery.  By delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream, IV therapy can help you recover more quickly and feel your best. IV therapy is a quick-and-easy way to give an immediate boost to your health and wellbeing, whether you're traveling, recovering from an illness, or simply feeling run down. And in those “rare” instances when you let your hair down and drink a bit too much… it can help bring you back to life more quickly!
