April 2, 2022

IV Nutrition Therapy

You may have heard of IV nutrition therapy, but you aren’t sure what it is. IV nutrition therapy is a treatment that helps you replenish any vitamin or mineral deficiencies you may have. Nutrients in the form of a liquid solution are delivered into your body through an IV line.

Bypassing the need for digestion, the nutrients are delivered straight into your bloodstream. This makes for faster delivery of nutrients to the cells in your body that need them most. IV therapy can be very helpful if:

  • You have a diet that keeps you from getting certain nutrients from food
  • Your body has difficulty absorbing nutrients
  • You are healing from an injury

IV nutrition therapy offers many benefits, including benefits for specific conditions.
