IV Vitamin Infusion
Intravenous (IV) vitamin drip therapy is a safe and effective way to directly deliver nutrients, vitamins, and medications to your bloodstream. This technique bypasses the digestive system thus all delivered supplements are available for immediate use.
This method accelerates the effectiveness of supplements, but IV therapy also ensures almost 100% absorption for maximum effect and minimal waste. When supplements are taken orally, the digestive system metabolizes them and significantly reduces the number of vitamins, nutrients, and medication that actually enter the bloodstream.
Vitamin delivery via IV therapy allows the absorption of 99.9% of vitamins, delivering them straight into your bloodstream for maximum impact, compared to the 8% absorption that oral, tablet forms deliver. At Ocean Health you will have a consultation included with our Nurse Practitioner. Every IV is customized for our client’s individual needs.
Often used ingredients in our IV cocktails:
Vitamin C: Also known as Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that plays many essential roles throughout the body, helping to maintain systems such as muscles, bones, immune support, and circulatory system.
Vitamin C promotes the biosynthesis of collagen, which is a fundamental part of connective tissues. Vitamin C reduces stretch marks and is an essential component of healing wounds in this capacity.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that also helps regenerate other antioxidants within the body.
This vitamin reduces the damaging effects of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that contribute to tissue damage and aging.
Vitamin B12 is part of the B-vitamin complex and is notable for its role in maintaining optimal neurological function. The vitamin is associated with preventing memory loss and improving concentration, as well as boosting energy levels.
Vitamin B12 has a large role in DNA synthesis and metabolizing amino acids. B12 is essential to ensuring the proper formation of red blood cells; low levels of B12 can result in anemia.
Some individuals have increased difficulty absorbing B12 due to an underlying medical condition. These individuals are at an increased risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency.
Symptoms of B12 deficiency include anemia, fatigue, and neurological changes such as memory problems, depression, and dementia.
B12 absorption is less effective when supplemented orally, so IV injection is an alternative and more effective way to correct B12 deficiency.
Studies suggest an association between low levels of vitamin B12 in the body and cognitive impairment, neurodegenerative disease, and dementia.
B Complex vitamins refer to several different vitamins that are part of the same family. Together, these water-soluble vitamins perform a range of vital functions including cardiovascular support, helping the body convert food into energy, immune function, and more.
In addition to these, B complex vitamins are most notable for their role in promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails. They reduce free radicals in the body that contribute to aging, resulting in an overall healthier and younger appearance.
The B Complex Vitamins Are:
✔ B1 (thiamine)
✔ B2 (riboflavin)
✔ B3 (niacin)
✔ B5 (pantothenic acid)
✔ B6 (pyridoxine)
✔ B7 (biotin)
✔ B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Because the B vitamin complex is so versatile and performs so many functions throughout the body, it is featured in many IV drip formulas.
Glutathione: Glutamine is an important amino acid with many functions in the body. It is a building block of protein and a critical part of the immune system. Glutamine has a special role in intestinal health.
One of the most important functions of glutamine is its role in the immune system.
It is a critical fuel source for immune cells, including white blood cells and certain intestinal cells. However, its blood levels can decrease due to major injuries, burns, or surgeries. If the body’s need for glutamine is greater than its ability to produce it, your body may break down protein stores, such as muscle, to release more of this amino acid. Additionally, the function of the immune system can be compromised when insufficient amounts of glutamine are available.
Studies have also reported that glutamine supplements may improve health, decrease infections and lead to shorter hospital stays after surgery.
Glutamine’s immune system benefits are related to its role in intestinal health. Glutamine is an important energy source for intestinal and immune cells and it also helps maintain the barrier between the inside of your intestines and the rest of your body. This prevents harmful bacteria or toxins from moving from your intestines into the rest of your body.
Due to the major role of the intestines in the immune system, glutamine may benefit your overall immune health by supporting the intestinal cells.
Glutamine is also one of the building amino acids of Glutathione – an antioxidant that plays a crucial role in preventing cellular damage. This antioxidant binds with toxins in the body and facilitates their removal from the body. Glutathione is involved in many metabolic processes and biochemical reactions, as well as DNA repair and synthesis. Studies suggest that it also slows the speed of aging.
Magnesium: is a mineral that is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions and enzyme systems that regulate various functions in the body. This mineral is found in many types of food.
Healthy Levels of Magnesium:
✔ Maintains nerve and muscle function
✔ Maintains bone strength
✔ Provides immune system support
✔ Regulates heartbeat
✔ Regulates blood glucose (blood sugar) levels
✔ Regulates blood pressure
✔ Boosts energy levels
✔ Aids in the production of proteins
Selenium: is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis, and protection from oxidative damage and infection. It is present in human tissue, mostly in skeletal muscle.
Selenium may help prevent cardiovascular disease, thyroid problems, and cognitive decline, which means disorders related to thinking, cancer, and others.
Cardiovascular disease: Selenoproteins can protect against cardiovascular disease, because they prevent the oxidative modification of lipids, or fats, in the body.
This reduces inflammation and prevents the buildup of platelets.
Cognitive decline: Selenium’s antioxidant activity may help reduce the risk of cognitive, or mental, decline, as people get older.Thyroid disorders: Selenium has an important role in producing and metabolizing thyroid hormone.
Zinc: a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function.
Zinc is also important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell.
Arginine
L-arginine is an amino acid that helps the body build protein.
Your body usually makes all the L-arginine it needs. L-arginine is also found in most protein-rich foods, including fish, red meat, poultry, soy, whole grains, beans, and dairy products. Because L-arginine acts as a vasodilator, opening (dilating) blood vessels, many people take oral L-arginine to treat heart conditions and erectile dysfunction.
