High dose vitamin IV infusions are growing in popularity for their amazing benefits and immediate effects. With a vitamin infusion, your body receives nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, which would otherwise lower the amount of vitamins your body can absorb. With IV infusions, nutrients are instantly available, so your body can absorb 100% of what it needs before passing along the rest to your kidneys to be flushed out naturally.
With so many kinds of vitamins and supplements available, IV infusions can deliver a range of health and wellness benefits, including but not limited to:
Let's take a closer look at how beneficial IV infusions can be to your overall health and wellbeing!
Promote faster weight loss
Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do. Changing your diet, sustaining a good workout schedule, and making sure your body is full of all the vitamins it needs is vital in reaching your weight loss goals! IV infusions are a great way to give your body that extra boost of vitamins it needs.
At Texas RICH we offer a few cocktails with key ingredients to boost your efforts such as:
Carnitine
This amino acid turns fat into fuel. It delivers fats to the mitochondria, our cells’ powerhouses, to break them down and use them as energy. Carnitine is a conditionally essential nutrient, meaning we can get enough from our diet, but certain people cannot, including vegans and people with a medical condition that inhibits nutrient absorption.
Alpha-lipoic acid
Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in the body. This organic compound also works with the body’s mitochondria to boost the metabolism, prevent inflammation, eliminate toxins, and reverse some of the oxidant (free radical) damage related to aging. Our bodies naturally synthesize this compound but only in small amounts. Thus, an IV infusion with this supplement can promote higher metabolism.
Lipotropic injections
This injectable compound burns fat. These are considered boosters, meaning they’re best injected via a syringe rather than an IV drip. At Texas Recovery and Infusion Center of Health our Lipotropic injections contain carnitine and B12, both popular supplements known to promote weight loss.
It’s important to note that IV therapy for weight loss isn’t effective on its own. You should combine it with healthy eating and regular exercise. The treatments strengthen your efforts but don’t replace them.
Treat certain nutrient deficiencies
IV therapy has been used regularly by doctors in hospitals for a long time. IV's provide a direct line to your bloodstream, which enables your body to absorb the full amount of nutrients it needs. Any remaining nutrients are then flushed out of your body naturally.
This way of delivering nutrients to your body is very popular for many health issues that leave your body nutrient deficient, such as but not limited to; Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, and Cystic Fibrosis. Oftentimes, people living with these conditions cannot get the nutrients they need from oral supplements or their diet. Thus, IV therapy benefits them because it bypasses the digestive system entirely and provides nutrients to cells immediately.
Cure hangovers symptoms
Yes, we have all felt the after-effects of a good party. An IV infusion will help your body flush out the toxins from the night before, allowing you to recover faster and get back to your normal self!
Cleanse your body of toxins and free radicals
Besides curing hangovers and providing you with essential nutrients, IV therapy can also cleanse your body of toxins and free radicals that can damage your cells and promote faster aging. Since antioxidants keep toxins and free radicals in check, the most popular options in IV therapy include:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that protects your overall well-being and immune system. It also helps protect your body from free radicals by neutralizing them before they have the chance to damage your cells.
Glutathione
Another important antioxidant that helps lower oxidative stress (free radicals), glutathione also has a wide range of other health benefits. It has shown promising results for improving symptoms caused by conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and fatty liver disease. It may also fight infections and cleanse the liver of unwanted toxins that can damage the liver cells.
Alpha-lipoic acid
More than just a weight loss aid, it can also protect your body from cell damage caused by free radicals.
Increase your energy levels
IV vitamin therapy can also provide your body with a natural boost of energy. Nutrients like amino acids can help you replace the constant need for coffee, soda, and other caffeinated drinks that can otherwise flood your body with unnecessary sugar and caffeine.
Amino Acids
Found within our IV infusions and operating on a cellular level, amino acids work with the mitochondria to convert the fatty acids in our body into energy. With this energy, we can get through the day or power through an intense workout. Amino acids like tri-amino and arginine also help build muscle proteins.
Promote better cardiovascular health
IV therapy can also aid in the upkeep of your cardiovascular system, thanks to using any of these four add-ins for improved function in your cardiovascular health.
Calcium
Tri-Amino
Arginine
Magnesium sulfate
As amino acids, tri-amino and arginine help relax your blood vessels, which promotes lower blood pressure and can even address some symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Calcium is not only important for building strong bones, but it also regulates how blood vessels contract and dilate. Additionally, magnesium plays a role in the regulation of your blood pressure.
Ease anxiety & Promote relaxation
In addition to providing you with more energy, IV therapy can make you feel more at ease. Magnesium sulfate is an electrolyte that helps lower blood pressure and also could help:
Calm feelings of anxiety
Promote a good night’s sleep
Relaxes your muscles
Support immune function
Prevent migraines and headaches
Magnesium sulfate is also used in other non-IV applications such as Epsom salt treatments (like float pods), which have similar calming effects.
