IV vitamin therapy is a trend that is quickly picking up steam, especially with celebrities. Simply put, IV therapy is a way of putting key vitamins and minerals into your bloodstream.
IV therapy is very versatile and is recommended for treatment of many different conditions, including cancer, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), asthma, and fibromyalgia.
How Does IV Vitamin Therapy Work?
IV vitamin therapy works by first inserting an IV needle into a person’s vein. The process takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on which vitamins are being injected. Patients are encouraged to read, relax, listen to music, or meditate during the treatment.
The needle delivers different combinations of minerals, amino acids, and vitamins into the bloodstream. Vitamins are normally digested in the body, but through IV therapy, they are absorbed directly into the cells.
