Why Are IV Vitamins Better Than Oral Vitamins?
IV hydration, vitamins, nutrients, amino acids, and antioxidants have shown great promise in treating some of the most challenging medical conditions. Conditions such as chronic migraines, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, asthma, chronic fatigue, depression, and others have all benefited from IV therapy. Glutathione is the body's primary intracellular antioxidant; it plays a vital role in immune function via white blood cell production and is a potent anti-viral agent. Glutathione levels naturally decrease as we age; it is involved in cellular differentiation and is thought to combat the aging process. It is also a potent anti-cancer agent.
Glutathione is just one example of the many beneficial IV therapies offered at thriveMD. Taking glutathione as a pill does not boost cellular glutathione levels since it breaks down in the digestive tract before it reaches the cells. However, intravenous glutathione therapy is beneficial in increasing intracellular levels of glutathione.
IV Vitamins And Nutrients
Our doctor formulated IV protocols use proprietary blends of high-quality vitamins and nutrients delivered directly to the bloodstream. They can be used by the body to assist in the proper cellular metabolic function.
Benefits of IV Hydration, Vitamin And Nutrient Therapy
Hydration
An estimated 75 percent of North Americans are chronically dehydrated and fail to drink the minimum amount of water per day recommended by health and nutrition experts. Not good, considering water is second only to oxygen as an essential nutrient to the human body. The body comprises about 70 percent water, which plays a vital role in nearly every bodily process; water is necessary for proper digestion and circulation, numerous chemical reactions, nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and blood vessels' flexibility. It regulates body temperature and benefits the skin by acting as an internal moisturizer, keeping the skin moist, supple, and clear, and preventing premature aging due to toxic buildup. It is estimated that even a 2% decrease in hydration can decrease mental acuity and lead to sub-optimal metabolic function.
How Much Water Is Enough?
Individual needs vary depending on climate, diet, and exercise level, but an adequate amount of water is about 10 to 12 full glasses per day. Here's an ideal way to calculate: Body weight/2 = ounces of water per day – divide your body weight in half, then drink that amount in ounces (one ounce equals two tablespoons or 30 milliliters). Drinking water adds no calories to your diet and can be great for your health.
Specially Formulated IV Hydration Options
At thriveMD, we understand that drinking this much water (or more in times of need) can be difficult every day, and we have many options for hydration. These IV therapies can be done by themselves or as part of an IV therapy package over several weeks. You will be amazed at how much better being hydrated can make you feel!
