IV Infusions VS Oral supplements.
A lot of people wonder, including me at one point, “Why should I bother with an IV vitamin infusion when I can just buy vitamin supplements from the store?” This might answer your question.
Taking vitamin supplements instead of getting an IV vitamin infusion..
Let’s start off with how vitamin supplements work! When you take vitamins orally, they must travel through your body in order to reach your cells and give you all their great benefits. Let’s look at what the process of vitamin supplements traveling through your body consists of…
- Digestion in your stomach
- Digestion in your small intestine
- Absorption in the small intestine
- Transport of the nutrients to your liver for detoxification and processing
- Delivery from the liver to blood vessels going to the rest of your body
- Absorption from blood vessels into the tissues and from the tissues into the cell
The absorption process of oral supplements is much longer than IV Vitamin Infusions.
I bet you had to catch your breath after reading all of that, I know I did! In addition to how long the absorption process is, a lot of mishaps can occur along the way. Patients with issues such as bloating, a leaky gut, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or food sensitivities often lose many nutrients during all the steps it takes just for your body to benefit from the supplements.
The long process oral supplements must go through isn’t the only concern.
Have you ever taken vitamin supplements and felt nauseous or had an upset stomach afterward? Even if you took them with food. Let’s look at why. Have you ever heard of the saying there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing? Well, where vitamins are concerned there actually is! the reason you can feel nauseous or suffer from an upset stomach after taking your vitamins.
When taking multiple oral vitamin supplements
You run the risk of getting too much of one single vitamin. That’s the reason you can feel nauseous or suffer from an upset stomach after taking your vitamins. For example, too much iron is known to cause nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps in some people.
Choosing IV Vitamin Infusions
Now the question is “How can I get all the vitamins I need without having to take multiple supplements and running the risk of side effects or losing nutrients during the absorption process?” I think this can answer your question..
Let’s look at IV vitamin Infusions
Getting an IV Vitamin infusion… In contrast to vitamin supplements, the absorption process of vitamins through an IV is short and simple. The IV vitamin infusion is administered directly into your vein (it’s not as scary as it sounds, I promise!) and the vitamins are then delivered directly into the blood and to the cells. There is no intestinal path required. You know what that means, right? There is no loss of nutrients along the way! But wait, it gets better. The blood levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients given through an IV vitamin infusion are many times higher than the levels you would get from just taking oral supplements. Without the pesky side effects that can occur from supplements!
Did this answer the big question? Unlike vitamin supplements, with IV vitamin infusions you get significantly more nutrients straight to where your body needs them: your cells! Which means significantly better support for radiant health. No side effects, no loss of nutrients along the way. Here at Invigorate Wellness Medical, radiant health is our goal!
