IV Therapy in Toronto – – Did you know there’s such a thing as intravenous nutritional (IV) therapy?
There is ongoing research on the use and benefits of oral and intravenous delivery/intake of nutrients. Vitamin IV therapy is a treatment in which a mixture of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are administered directly into your bloodstream. IV therapy has been shown to support patients who require nutrition supplementation for malnourishment, energy production, dehydration and post-surgical support.
But how is IV vitamin drip therapy different than oral supplements? Oral supplements, such as tablets, may help decrease morbidity, increase energy levels and improve life quality. However, taking supplements orally are not always ideal for those with an aversion to swallowing pills or for those with compromised digestive tract systems.
IV vitamin therapy is a convenient and swift method for administering amino acids, fluids, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals back into your body. Unlike oral vitamin supplementation, IV therapy is directed into your veins, which makes the nutrients rapidly accessible to your cells. The nourishing IV fluids bypass the digestive system, allowing the nutrients to reach your vital organs producing beneficial effects and to support optimal cellular health.

Intravenous vitamin drip therapy is particularly useful if you are prone to developing gastrointestinal disturbances, such as cramps, nausea or diarrhea brought on from orally taking high-dosed nutrients (i.e. high dose vitamin C and magnesium). Vitamin IV therapy may also be beneficial for people experiencing malabsorption issues.
Combined with ongoing naturopathic care, there are numerous benefits to undergoing IV therapy to promote optimal health and well being. Below are 5 reasons why you should learn about IV vitamin therapy:
1. IV vitamin therapy promotes hydration.
IV vitamin drip therapy is a prompt method for hydrating the body. Oral hydration (drinking water) can hydrate your body, though it takes 75-120 minutes to fully absorb one bottle of water into the bloodstream. On the other hand, IV therapy hydrates you immediately. Not only does vitamin IV therapy contain fluids, it can deliver electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids and minerals, which supports optimal recovery from dehydration (i.e. post exercise recovery therapy) without relying on the digestive system.
2. IV therapy stimulates detoxification.
Detoxification is necessary for our bodies to flush out toxins, which may cause detrimental effects on the body. IV vitamin therapy can promote detoxification, which may help the liver optimally function.
3. IV therapy may increase energy levels.
IV therapy is applicable for improved energy levels within a brisk time frame. Often, an IV therapist will recommend adding B vitamins into your intravenous vitamin infusion. B vitamins are for various wellness functions, such as increasing energy, furthering red blood cell production, and helping to regulate sleep, mood and appetite cycles, and may help fight chronic fatigue syndrome. Administering vitamins directly into the bloodstream works promptly; this is unlike oral intake, which requires additional time for nutrients to be absorbed or nutrients may be poorly absorbed through the various body systems.
4. IV therapy provides nutritional support.
IV therapy allows your body to efficiently use vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It provides prompt nutritional support via the bloodstream, which may help individuals with conditions recover from illnesses such as food poisoning or dehydration.
5. Vitamin IV therapy treatments can be catered for your health needs only.
