IV Vitamin Drips: What's with the trend?

Written by Dr. Tania Rivera | Feb 10, 2018 2:00:00 PM

Background

An IV vitamin drip refers to the process of providing concentrated levels of vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream.  When nutrients like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids are injected directly into the bloodstream, they bypass the digestive system and are pushed directly into cells where they can be more effectively utilized by the body.  

IV therapy has been used for decades in hospitals as a treatment option for conditions like dehydration, infections, or malabsorption disorders, among others.  Lately, in the US, there are more independent clinics and house call services popping up that aim to provide IV vitamin treatment outside of crowded hospitals.  

Why are people using IV drips?

The trend started when people were looking for a faster way to hydrate, for example after consuming alcohol.  One bag of IV fluid can be equal to drinking eight glasses of water.

People are now using IVs to help support their immune systems, boost energy levels, improve skin health, and to manage conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Our Favorite IV Drip Components & Their Benefits

  • Vitamin C – a potent antioxidant, boosts the immune system and helps fight flu and other viruses
  • Glutathione – the ultimate antioxidant, provides immune support and inflammation relief, known for anti-aging and anti-cancer properties, and even as a preventative nutrient for Parkinson’s disease
  • B vitamins – improves cellular health, attention, focus and energy
