Explore The Science of IV Therapy

The science behind IV therapy lies in its direct infusion of essential nutrients, electrolytes, and vitamins into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. IV injections bypass first-pass metabolism and offer superior effectiveness compared to traditional oral supplements.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)

NAD+ plays a critical role in energy production, metabolism and cellular repair. It is a
coenzyme found in all living cells that promotes health.

NAD+ pools tend to decline with normal aging, obesity, and hypertension, which are all major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. NAD+ improves atherosclerosis, ischemic, diabetic, arrhythmogenic, hypertrophic, or dilated cardiomyopathies, as well as different modalities of heart failure.

Targeting NAD+ metabolism has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach to ameliorate ageing-related disease, and extend the human health-span and lifespan.

NAD+ is not only essential for metabolism, but also in other activities such as building blocks of other cellular synthetic pathways, DNA repair, signal transduction molecule, autophagy, or epigenetic regulation. Studies have shown that NAD+ is an important cofactor for neural functions that have high energetic demands. Benefits of treatment include promoting healthy brain function, slowing down cognitive decline, helps regenerate the cells and boosts metabolism, decreasing chronic fatigue and boosting energy levels, as well as reducing body inflammation.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps the body create DNA, nourishes the brain and nervous system, and assists with the formation of healthy red blood cells. The benefits of the vitamin B12 include better mood, deeper sleep, a balanced immune system, mental clarity, weight loss, a higher metabolism, and more energy.

Vitamin B12 plays a role in serotonin production, so a deficiency may be connected with clinical depression. In addition, high levels of vitamin B12 have been associated with better chances of recovery from major depressive disorder. Because of its role in energy metabolism, vitamin B12 is often promoted as an energy enhancer, and an athletic performance, and endurance booster.

If you have a vitamin B12 deficiency, you may feel tired or weak. These are symptoms of megaloblastic anemia, which is a hallmark of vitamin B12 deficiency. You might also have pale skin, heart palpitations, loss of appetite, weight loss, and infertility. Your hands and feet might become numb or tingly, a sign of nerve problems.

Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue. Vitamin B12 has not been shown to cause any harm, even at high doses.

Biotin

Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that helps your body break down food into energy. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, which means your body can’t store it. It is considered nontoxic even at large doses, due to your body flushing out any amount it doesn’t need through the urinary system.

Biotin is also known as vitamin B7 (or vitamin H), which supports many of body’s systems and helps keep your skin, hair, eyes, liver and nervous system healthy. Biotin is also a crucial nutrient during pregnancy, as it aids in embryonic growth. Foods that contain the most biotin, include organ meat, eggs, fish, meat, seeds, nuts, and certain vegetables.

Most people can intake enough biotin from eating a healthy diet. However, supplementing may be helpful for specific populations. These populations include pregnant or breastfeeding women, people who suffer with multiple sclerosis (MS), those with brittle nails, hair loss, or red, scaly skin, and type 2 diabetics.

Glutathione

Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant that is produced in our own bodies. It’s comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions. It is great for the body and the master of antioxidants. Its crucial role is in protecting cellular macromolecules from endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

Glutathione helps detoxify chemicals, including some that our body creates naturally, as well as pollutants and drugs. It is produced naturally by the liver but with age it decreases in our systems. Glutathione depletion has been strongly associated with the diseases and loss of function with aging. A study from community-dwelling elderly found that higher glutathione levels were associated with greater levels of physical health, fewer illnesses, and elevated levels of self-rated health.

GSH is effective for building muscles, muscle and tissue repair, liver function, improving skin elasticity, helps to improve insulin resistance, reduces cell damage in fatty liver, and reduces oxidative stress. GSH is ideal for athletes because it not only binds to and removes free radicals from your body, but rehydrates you at the same time. The end result is an improved recovery time, decreased muscle damage, and decreased cellular damage from free radicals so that you can improve your performance quickly.

GSH also lightens and brightens skin by erasing hyperpigmentation and inhibiting melanin production in cells. It promotes high energy and mental clarity. Glutathione is a master detoxifier!

Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid found in the brain, spinal cord, heart and muscle cells, as well as white blood cells. Taurine is involved with many bodily functions such as regulating the volume of body cells, adjusting calcium levels inside cells and producing bile salts.

The body can produce taurine as needed but it is mostly obtained from animal sources. The discovery that taurine is an effective therapy against congestive heart failure led to the study of taurine as a therapeutic agent against other disease conditions.

Supplementing may be necessary to maintain optimal levels particularly in vegetarians and vegans. Taurine supplementation is also linked to diminished body mass index and reduced levels of inflammation markers. Taurine contributes to an improvement in the clinical and nutritional health of humans. It is also remarkable for anyone with diabetes, epilepsy, or cardiovascular disease and is beneficial for athletic performance, muscle repair and fat burning.

Proline

Proline is a major amino acid found in cartilage and is important for maintaining youthful skin as well as repair of muscle, connective tissue and skin damage. It is also essential for the immune system and extremely important for the proper functioning of joints and tendons.

Proline helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles. Functions of proline include helping form collagen, regenerating cartilage, forming connective tissue, repairing skin damage and wounds, healing the gut lining, and repairing joints. It is also recommended in certain instances of wound care and surgery, where increased collagen production is required for healing. Research suggests that proline supplementation might support cardiovascular health as proline aids in releasing fat build-up in the bloodstream, reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, particularly if taken in large doses.

Arginine

Arginine is an amino acid that is a building block for proteins. One of its key functions is promoting the dilation or opening of blood vessels. It can stimulate the release of insulin, growth hormone (which aids in muscle growth and fat reduction), and other substances.

L-arginine may offer benefits in several areas, including improving athletic performance, supporting kidney function after a transplant, and enhancing immune system function. this amino acid becomes essential for young individuals and adults in conditions of stress or illness.

Given the ability of arginine to lower such parameters as glucose, homocysteine, triglycerides, and fatty acids, its supplementation is a prospect in the treatment of obesity and other disorders comprised associated with metabolic syndromeAs L-arginine can affect blood pressure, those anticipating surgery should discontinue its use at least two weeks prior to the scheduled date to avoid complications

Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine, commonly known as vitamin B6, is an essential nutrient vital for maintaining our overall health. B6 is important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy.

This crucial vitamin participates in an array of bodily functions, including promoting the health of our nerves, skin, and red blood cells. But, even more importantly to note, the human body can’t produce vitamin B6 naturally, so it needs to be obtained through diet or supplements.

Vitamin B6 is known to aid in reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system. It facilitates the production of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses. Vitamin B6 is involved in the production of serotonin, dopamine and GABA – crucial neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and other functions.

Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in our red blood cells, needs vitamin B6 for its production. This function is critical for delivering oxygen throughout the body.

Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic acid, or better known as Vitamin C, is an essential nutrient, meaning that it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplements.

It is very important as it is needed to maintain the health of skin, teeth, cartilage, bone and blood vessels. This nutrient is needed for your body to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C is also vital to your body's healing process.

Using Vitamin C in high doses can help lower your risk of cancer, reduce your chances of getting the common cold, and help prevent eye diseases. As an antioxidant, it protects the body from various deleterious effects of free radicals, pollutants and toxins.

Vitamin C is necessary for normal healing process especially for post-operative patients because there is rapid utilization of Vitamin C for the synthesis of collagen at the site of wound/burns during the post-operative period.

MICC (Methionine, Inositol, Choline and Cyanocobalamin)

MICC is an injectable solution crafted to enhance the body’s capability to lose fat and boost energy by optimizing metabolic processes. Featuring a blend of essential nutrients, including Methionine, Inositol, Choline and Cyanocobalamin, MICC targets the efficient breakdown of fats and sugars, leading to improved energy conversion.

Methionine plays a crucial role in breaking down sugars and carbohydrates, aiding their conversion into energy to support weight loss efforts.

Inositol contributes to converting food into energy, enhancing metabolic rate and facilitating fat loss.

Choline helps reduce muscle recovery time and is instrumental in converting fat into energy, supporting weight loss and physical performance.

Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12, it aids in energy production by converting carbohydrates into glucose, boosting energy levels and supporting metabolic functions.

Why Your Body Needs Electrolytes

Electrolytes are essential for basic life functioning. Electrolytes conduct energy, regulate fluid balance, support proper muscle function, transport nutrients, regulate pH, help convert calories into energy, support mental function and much more.

Significant electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonates. Electrolytes come from our food and fluids. These electrolytes can be imbalanced, leading to high or low levels. High or low levels of electrolytes disrupt normal bodily functions and can lead to life-threatening complications.

Electrolytes are important because they help balance the amount of water in your body and your body's acid/base (pH) level. They move nutrients into your cells, move wastes out of your cells, and support your muscle and nerve function. Electrolytes even keep your heart rate and rhythm steady, your blood pressure stable, and your bones and teeth healthy.
