What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV Vitamin Therapy or vitamin infusion is a method of administering intravenous vitamins, minerals anti-oxidants and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through and IV line.  This form of IV infusion is the most efficient delivery method as it eliminates stomach degradation, circumventing gastrointestinal problems, digestive system, and stomach issues associated with high doses of vitamins taken orally. Intravenous vitamins also bypass the liver, which, during metabolism, can destroy many nutrients that would otherwise be ingested orally.

IV MSM

IV MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane is naturally occurring molecule that is found in many organs in the body. MSM is used to supply sulfur in order to make the amino acids cysteine and methionone. These amino acids play an important role in the productions and synthesis of amino acids. IV MSM has been found to have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects and has been used effectively for many joint and muscle conditions, autoimmune illnesses, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

MSM has two important properties:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Antioxidant

Glutathione IV

Glutathione is a protein that is made from the amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is produced by the liver and plays a vital role in our bodies. It is a powerful antioxidant used to protect against oxidation by free radicals. Intravenous glutathione is usually added to the end of Myers cocktail but can be given by itself. IV glutathione has much better absorption than oral forms.

What it Glutathione used for?

Glutathione is an potent antioxidant that plays many roles in our body functions, including:

Vitamin C

Vitamin C also called Ascorbic Acid is an antioxidant that helps prevent oxidative stress. Vitamin C administered intravenously reaches much higher levels in the blood rather than when taken by mouth. There are currently ongoing clinical trails on the effectiveness of high dose vitamin c in the treatment of certain cancers.

IV Magnesium

Magnesium is used to produce energy and help in the regulation and functioning of healthy cells. Magnesium deficiency can cause many symptoms including muscle weakness and cramping of muscles, restless leg syndrome, headaches, constipation, weakness and more. Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in our bodies and plays a vital role in adenosine triphosphate metabolism Magnesium assists in the productions of proteins, DNA and RNA .

IV Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays a major role in absorption of calcium and phosphate and healthy bones in addition to many other health benefits. Many people are deficient in vitamin D even though they live in sunny states. IV Vitamin D replacement can boost deficient levels efficiently.

IV NAD

NAD or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a coenzyme found in all living cells. NAD+ binds and activates molecular reactions such as proteins called sirtuins. NAD and its coenzymes play a variety of important roles in our bodies such as revitalizing cells from the inside out. NAD and its co-enzymes also play an important role in metabolism and the aging process.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 also known as cobalamin plays an important role in the production of cells, the nervous system, the production of DNA as well as preventing heart and vessel disease. Research has also shown vitamin b12 deficiency to be related to dementia and decreased cognitive function. Vitamin b12 also helps boost metabolism in weight loss and enhance athletic performance. Our office provides vitamin b12 injections as well as intravenously through a saline bag.

Phosphatidylcholine IV

Phosphatidylcholine is one of the main components of lecithin, a micronutrient found in every cell membrane in your body. Phosphatidulcholine is a phospholipid, that is made up of phosphorus, glycerol, and fatty acids. This phospholipid plays an important role in the production of cell membranes throughout our bodies. As we age, the amount of phosphatidylcholine decreases in our bodies. Since it plays such an important role in the function of our intestines, liver, and the brain, it is important to keep levels elevated.

What if I am healthy, can I still use IV Vitamin Therapy?

Absolutely!  IV Vitamin Therapy is beneficial to everyone. It works as a great prevention tool and aids in maintaining a healthy and balanced life.

What is the difference between IV Vitamin Therapy and taking oral vitamins?

When we take vitamins orally, only a small amount of that vitamin is actually absorbed. In fact, due to the acids in our stomach, we actually only consume about 5% of the given vitamin. Merely raising the dosage of vitamins taken orally does not increase the amount our body absorbs due to the absorption capacity of the stomach – it can only take so much. High doses of vitamins can also leave your stomach irritated and sensitive.

How is IV Vitamin Therapy provided?

After your initial consultation, the IV Vitamin Therapy treatment is done at our office or in the comfort of your own home, office or hotel. The nutrients are given intravenously under the doctor’s supervision. The treatment can last from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the amount of nutrients needed. During this time there is minimal discomfort and you can immediately resume your normal activities as soon as the treatment is completed.

Whether you currently have a medical condition or vitamin deficiency that could use specific intravenous vitamin treatment, or if you want to maintain a healthy balance in your physical well being through preventive practices, our Concierge Doctors  at My Concierge MD can help you with the best of care in YOUR environment of choice!
