The Benefits of IV Nutrient Therapy
Posted: Nov 11th, 2020 at 03:48PM
In today's world, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Whether it's poor choices in nutritious food, lack of exercise coupled with too much sitting, or insufficient quality sleep, these unhealthy habits often lead to preventable chronic diseases.
While some may think that deficiencies in vitamins and minerals are uncommon, there are many people who don't get the adequate amount of nutrients their bodies need to perform at their best. Fortunately, with IV nutrient therapy, it's much easier and quicker to provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs.
Here, we uncover what IV nutrient therapy is, how it works, and how it benefits you.
What is IV Nutrient Therapy?
IV nutrient therapy (also called IV nutrient supplementation or IV vitamin drip/treatment) is the administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients using intravenous infusion. While it's widely used today, it's not a new concept. It was first developed by Dr. John Myers in 1970, with the famous solution called Myers' Cocktail intended to help patients with chronic fatigue, depression, and heart palpitations.
When taking vitamins and supplements orally, the nutrients are broken down in the stomach and digestive system. This leads to limited absorption and potential digestive problems if too much or the wrong mixture is taken.
In contrast, during IV nutrient therapy, you receive a liquid mixture of nutrients directly to your bloodstream. As a result, your body receives a higher concentration of the vitamins and minerals. The nutrients are delivered directly to your cells and absorbed quickly into your body. By taking essential nutrients via IV, you bypass the digestive and gastrointestinal tracts, allowing the nutrients to be more bioavailable for your body's immediate use, providing greater benefits than through oral consumption.
Types of IV Nutrient Therapy
Nowadays, IV therapy is used to address a wide variety of health concerns. e7 Health offers both IV therapy as well as nutrient injections.
Hydration
IV nutrient therapy is common for quick and effective rehydration. This is best used when you're dehydrated due to extreme exercise, intense sports activities, lack of sleep, or a hangover. It can help fight off headaches and dizziness, boost the immune system, and increase energy levels.

Types of Nutrient Injections
In addition to our IV nutrient therapy, e7 Health also offers a number of nutrient injections to address certain health concerns.
1. L-Lysine
Nutrient injections give you antioxidants and nutrients that can provide a huge boost to your immune system and fight off viral or airborne illnesses.
Our L-lysine mix contains the essential amino acid that aids in healing wounds. It helps regulate hormones to decrease stress and increase growth hormone production. Likewise, it promotes collagen formation and antibodies production to improve your immune system.
2. Glutathione
Diet and lifestyle will largely determine how you look and feel as you age. Plus, people are often exposed to UV light, heavy metals, smoke, fumes, household chemicals, and other hazardous toxins.
Our glutathione formula can help to reverse the effects of nutrient deficiencies that develop over time. It helps improve the function of the immune system, detoxify and eliminate free radicals from your body, and support white blood cells. As a result, it keeps your cells healthy, provides better blood flow, and reduces the risk of disease.
3. B-Complex
This therapy provides vitamins and minerals that promote better mental clarity, increased energy, and reduced stress. It's also popular for balancing hormones, relieving stress, removing bodily toxins, and making your hair and skin healthier.
Our B-complex injection works as a general nutrient supplement for all five essential B-vitamins. It may help boost energy levels by converting food into fuel, supports the immune system, and promotes healthy metabolism.
In addition, our formula helps supplement B12 deficiency in individuals with anemia, gastrointestinal problems, infections, nerve damage, and stomach issues, or people who are on a vegan or plant-based diet. B12 converts carbohydrates and fat into energy, making healthy proteins, and producing new red blood cells and nerves.
4. Weight Loss
To help facilitate fat loss, this solution contains a lipotropic blend to help convert carbohydrates, fats, and sugars into energy. The mixture helps in increasing your metabolism and decreasing your appetite/hunger. Moreover, the carnitine helps promote muscle growth and reduce recovery time after exercise.
Nutrient therapy offers several benefits to your health and well-being. However, it's important to remember that it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Make sure to consult with your doctor about what essential nutrients you may need to ensure effective and healthy vitamin therapy. Also, discuss your current and previous health conditions, including any prescribed medications or supplements. This will help ensure that you're getting the IV nutrient therapy that is designed to meet your needs.
At e7 Health, this is exactly what you will get. During your first visit, our Board-Certified clinicians will discuss with you your individual concerns to determine which IV solution best suits you. Our trained, registered nurses will then administer the therapy. This will run for over an hour, all while you sit back, relax, and unwind in our serene spa-like setting.
