Question 1

What IV Nutrition Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a medical technique that delivers fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a person's vein. A trained medical professional will start your IV by placing a catheter (guided by a needle) in your vein temporally using aseptic technique and provide a bag of IV fluid which can be infused with vitamins and minerals directly (intravenously) into your bloodstream. IV Nutrition therapy provides quick and effective results (100% bioavailability) compared to oral vitamin supplements due to GI tract bypass.

Accepted Answer

B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5 & B6): This mixture is packed with B vitamins, which may help keep skin and blood cells healthy and convert nutrients into energy.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): It plays an important role in energy metabolism, immunity boosting and functioning of the nervous system. It can help avoid type 2 diabetes, several cardiovascular diseases, some vision and kidney disorders and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): It is a powerful antioxidant and plays a vital role in maintaining healthy blood cells and boosts metabolism.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): It plays a critical role in proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. Like other vitamins from the family, it is necessary for energy production and metabolism of fatty acids. It also provides healthy skin, nails, and hair.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): It is essential for healthy development of the central nervous system. It is involved in energy production and through different metabolic and anabolic cycles in development of amino acids, blood cells, vitamin D3 and other fatty acids.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): It has a very influential role in synthesis of neurotransmitters and is essential for good mental health. It also has a direct effect on immune function. It plays a role in metabolism of amino acids and is a necessary co-factor in the folate cycle, lack of which can lead to anemia.
Mineral Blend (Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Selenium): This essential blend of minerals helps reverse the effects of dehydration, remove toxins, and replenish vitamins.
Magnesium: is a mineral that is important to almost all bodily functions, key in maintaining the function of our nerves, cells, bones, muscles, and heart. It plays an integral role in synthesizing energy within cells, creating DNA and supporting bone density.
Zinc: is a mineral that is used to help reduce the duration of illnesses, prevent infection, and speed up the body's healing process.
Manganese: helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function.
Copper: is an essential nutrient for the body. Together with iron, it enables the body to form red blood cells. It helps maintain healthy bones, blood vessels, nerves, and immune function, and it contributes to iron absorption
Selenium: is an essential trace mineral that supports many bodily processes. It can help improve cognition, immune system function, and fertility. It also plays a key role in maintaining thyroid hormone metabolism and DNA synthesis and protecting the body from oxidative damage and infection.
Amino Blend: This amino blend could help boost your metabolism, improve energy levels, increase endurance, and help to burn fat. It also provides your body essential and nonessential amino acids it requires to stay healthy.
Glutamine: Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, being produced in the muscles and distributed via the bloodstream. Glutamine provides the necessary nitrogen and carbon to fuel a variety of cells and is necessary to produce additional amino acids and glucose.
Arginine: Arginine acts as a vasodilator, meaning it helps to dilate (open) the blood vessels increasing blood flow. Arginine is also produced pharmaceutically and given as a supplement in treating many conditions. It also is used in improving athletic performance, preventing the common cold, improving kidney function after a kidney transplant, pre-eclampsia, boosting the immune system.
Ornithine: Ornithine is created in the body or in a laboratory to be used for improving athletic performance. It may also be used for weight loss, muscle repair and recovery and improved sleep quality.
Lysine: Lysine is an amino acid that the body cannot synthesize, it can be used in the treatment of cold sores due to herpes simplex. Some research has shown it may be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis, diabetes, stress, and for athletic performance improvement.
Citrulline: Citrulline plays a helpful part in removing ammonia from blood, which is a compound recognized for causing workout-related fatigue. Citrulline may aid in weight loss by reducing feelings of tiredness following strenuous exercise. It’s proven to be most effective after using it for at least one week, taken right before your workout.
Carnitine: Carnitine is found in nearly all cells of the body and plays a critical role in fueling the production of energy. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized, or burned, to produce energy. Carnitine also transports toxic compounds out of the cellular organelle, preventing any accumulation. Given these functions, carnitine is concentrated in tissues that utilize fatty acids as fuel, like skeletal and cardiac muscles.
Calcium: Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the body. It is the major makeup of your bones. Calcium is essential to the function of our nervous and muscular systems, the coagulation of blood, and for normal contractility of the heart.
Glutathione: is a powerful antioxidant made of amino acids. It is vital to mitochondrial function, necessary to produce DNA. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means it plays an important role in removing toxins, such as mercury, from the brain and other cells. It is key in supporting immune function, metabolism, forming sperm cells, tissue building and repair, and helping with certain enzyme functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it may help fight the effects of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage healthy cells and contribute to aging and certain degenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.
Taurine: is a conditionally essential amino acid. Unlike most amino acids, taurine doesn’t play a role in building proteins. Rather, it helps to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte and mineral balance in your cells, supporting the functions of the digestive, nervous and immune systems. Our bodies produce taurine in small amounts to fulfill these daily functions.
B7 (Biotin): is a B vitamin that helps to maintain healthy looking hair, skin, and nails, helping to prevent from looking brittle and dull. Taking Biotin with other proven nutrients for healthy hair growth helps promote healthier looking and thicker hair in line with your natural hair growth cycle. Biotin has also been proven to aid in weight loss by stimulating the metabolism, as well as a lot of other health benefits.
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol): Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin used for Vitamin D deficiency, helps with anti-aging, and improves bone health.
Lipotropic MIC: A Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) shot is a very safe injection consisting of a formula of lipotropic (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) that helps break down fat. The MIC compounds work to metabolize fat cells and assist in the elimination of stored fat deposits in the liver and body. When used in combination with lifestyle modifications such as exercise and diet, lipotropic compounds may promote fat and weight loss.
B12 (Methylcobalamin): is used in the human body to utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new protein. It also helps with anemia, increases energy, improves mood, improves recovery from illness, helps with cellular metabolism for weight loss.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): is an antioxidant that plays an important role in the body. It not only protects the body’s cells from damage, but it is also needed to maintain the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. It usually is used for burns, aging, delayed fracture and wound healing, prevention of cardiovascular issues, cognitive impairments such as dementia, and in shortening the length of common colds.
