The IV Nutrient solution is prepared immediately before administration. Your nurse will insert a small sterile catheter directly into a vein on your arm. The IV nutrient solution will infuse usually in 30-60 minutes but this may vary based on ingredients. The solution goes directly into your bloodstream and then the nutrients are transported into your cells where they provide their benefits. On occasion, some patients may experience head and body aches that resemble flu-like symptoms for a day or so after receiving IV Nutrient therapy. If this happens, do not worry. This phenomenon is associated with a process called detoxification. As your cells receive the nutrients they get “jump started” or "turned on” and begin pushing accumulated waste products and toxins out of the cell into the bloodstream. As with there waste, it is then excreted from the body. You may feel “out of sorts” for a short time but as unwanted waste and toxins are eliminated from your body you will feel more energized and healthier than before. Other patients may experience unusually high levels of energy, stamina, and focus.

There are several different ways nutrition can enter the body. The best way is to eat a healthy diet that is high in essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed to maintain optimal health. Unfortunately, the average diet is far from perfect and many of us do not eat even the minimum RDA for average health in a week, not to mention a day! Additionally, food produced today may come from depleted soils and have pesticide residue. Gut health also plays a role. Modern life often includes chronic stress, high sugar intake, infections, repeat antibiotics, and inadequate nutritional intake. These factors can lead to a poorly functioning digestive tract. Consequently, our nutrient absorption from the gut is not what it should be. All these elements make Nutrient IV therapy a great way to support the body’s nutritional status and improve its functioning.
