To fully grasp the potential benefits of therapeutic IV drips, it is helpful to understand the various types of IV therapy available. Many clinics and doctors offer a variety of IV formulas to meet a range of specific needs, but what do they all do? To help you understand the concept of IV drip therapy, let’s examine the various formulas and their impact on overall health and wellness.

What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy refers to a method of delivering high concentrations of essential vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream. Because IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, it allows for faster absorption. If you’ve ever had a drip in the hospital, you know precisely how we administer IV therapy.

IV therapy is an excellent way for people with vitamin and mineral deficiencies to maintain healthy levels. Many IV therapy advocates claim that this direct delivery system offers numerous benefits, including increased energy, enhanced immune system function, improved skin health, support for overall physical well-being, and stress relief.

The Myers’ Cocktail

The Myers’ Cocktail is an IV therapy that Dr. John Myers initially formulated in the 1970s. Consisting of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium, the Myers’ Cocktail aims to improve overall health, reduce fatigue, and boost immune system fortitude. What started as a celebrity trend quickly gained popularity among the general public as they experienced the benefits for themselves.

Other IV Drips

As the Myers’ Cocktail became more widely used, other similar treatments entered the market. There are now several types of IV drips designed to enhance physical and mental well-being. Let’s explore the different kinds of IV drips and how they differ from the Myers’ Cocktail.

Glutathione IV

Glutathione is an antioxidant comprised of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. This vital antioxidant is naturally produced in the liver to clear toxins. As we age, our glutathione production decreases, leading to common concerns such as age spots. Glutathione production decreases more rapidly in people who smoke, eat low-quality food, have high stress levels, and struggle to sleep properly.

NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) plays a vital role in cell function and protecting the body from disease. NAD+ IV therapy increases NAD+ levels in the body to support energy production, cellular regeneration and function. As we age, cell function slows, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, fatigue, and joint pain. NAD+ IVs can help slow the aging process and maintain optimal health.

Immune IV

As we know, the immune system plays a crucial role in maintaining health and warding off illnesses. Several factors can impact the functioning of your immune system, including sleep quality, diet, alcohol consumption, pollution, mental health, and age. Immune-boosting IVs aim to enhance immune function by replenishing essential nutrients and vitamins. By maintaining good nutrient levels, the immune system can function adequately without deficiencies.

Ultimate Energy

Constant fatigue due to stress, poor sleep quality, and inadequate nutrition can have a profound impact on quality of life. Fatigue makes it difficult to work, enjoy hobbies, and spend time with loved ones, which can lead to mental health issues like depression. The Ultimate Energy IV boosts mitochondrial function to improve energy levels and increase energy reserves. This IV therapy is ideal for those with high-stress jobs, new parents, and those with autoimmune diseases.

What Sets the Myer’s Cocktail Apart From Other IV Drips?

The most significant benefit of the Myers’ Cocktail is that it can be fully customized to meet the individual needs of each patient. The original Myers’ Cocktail formula contains many of the ingredients included in the other drips we’ve discussed, making it an excellent way to target multiple concerns simultaneously. When you struggle with gut health and fatigue, we can tailor the cocktail to support the systems responsible for these issues.

What to Expect From IV Therapy?

IV therapy is a relatively quick and easy treatment that we administer in our clinic. Therapy sessions are between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the amount you choose. At your first appointment, we will discuss your current struggles and your goals to ensure that you receive the support you need to achieve your objectives. We will then tailor your treatment and begin the process.

Our nurses are well-trained and qualified to administer IVs, and they can do so quickly and with minimal discomfort to the patient. Due to the relaxed, low-pressure environment, you can close your eyes, sit back, and let our nurses take care of everything. If you have issues with needles, let us know so we can help you feel comfortable. We prioritize your safety and comfort, so all you need to do is enjoy the benefits of your IV therapy.
