Why IV Nutrition?
IV nutrition and IV drips are effective because it maximizes the delivery of the essential nutrients that are required for our bodies to function optimally. Nutrients such as vitamins and minerals provide what is necessary for our cells to properly function; without them, the membranes in our cells can weaken and lose the ability to protect the cell’s DNA and mitochondria. Water, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids are also critical to support the myriad processes that occur in our bodies every day. With IV administration, these critical nutrients bypass the digestive system and are fully available in the bloodstream. Even those of us living a clean life can need extra support at the cellular level.
Typically when you replace nutrients orally it’s estimated only 30-60% of them reach their intended tissue. Why such a wide range? Absorption depends on the form of the nutrient (ie. capsule vs liquid), your digestive system, and how well the nutrient is transported to the cells.
IV therapy is immediately available for your body once it enters the bloodstream. It bypasses the digestive system and liver, going straight to the cells!
Proper hydration is critical in digestion, detoxification of the liver and kidneys, and waste removal. Dehydration can be the cause of many chronic conditions, including fatigue, headaches, joint pain, weight gain, and high blood pressure, just to name a few. With Elevate’s selection of cocktails and injections, we can have you hydrated and feeling great soon.
Signs of dehydration may include:
Not peeing or having dark yellow urine
Dry skin
Dizziness
Rapid heartbeat or rapid breathing
Sunken eyes
Sleepiness, lack of energy, confusion, irritability
Fainting
Muscle cramps
Lack of sweat
How to treat dehydration:
Drink lots of water!
If you don’t like water, try unsweetened, decaf teas or try sports drinks with added electrolytes.
Add fruit to your water
Avoid sweet or salty snacks, and try fruits and vegetables for half of your daily intake
Avoid coffee, alcohol, and sodas
Fluid replacement is the best treatment for dehydration. You can try to replace your fluids by mouth, but IV hydration is the fastest way to bypass the digestive system, and get all the nutrients you need immediately, with 100% absorption.
