Why is IV therapy better than oral fluids, medications and supplements?Faster intake: Instant intake of fluids, medications and supplements by your body, so you feel better quicker. Better absorption: Your body absorbs vitamins, medications and supplements via IV than via oral methods like pills (~50% of the vitamin is absorbed orally, while ~90% is absorbed from IV form) Acute illness: When you are nauseous, vomiting or have diarrhea, staying hydrated orally can be difficult. Chronic illness: Bypassing digestion can be helpful - even necessary - for many who suffer from chronic illness, particularly those that impair digestive organs like IBS, IBD, GERD, Crohn's Disease, Celiac disease and Colitis. Age: The ability to digest and absorb vitamins orally becomes more difficult and can lead to deficiencies. Even mild deficiencies in certain vitamins can lead to fatigue, brain fog and faster aging. Diet: Restrictive diets minimize the intake of vitamins and minerals received by food. Lifestyle: Factors in lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol and drug use can impact your ability to absorb the nutrients from pills, while at the same time depleting your body of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in order to process these toxins.
