IV NUTRIENT THERAPY

Intravenous (I.V.) nutrient therapy and injection (intramuscular, subcutaneous) therapy are safe and effective ways to deliver vitamins and minerals directly into the circulatory system. Also known as “parenteral therapy,” substances administered IV or injected bypass the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for complete absorption of nutrients and obtaining a blood level of nutrients much higher than oral intake alone.

HOW IT WORKS

IV nutrient therapy offers individuals experiencing compromised gastrointestinal absorption an alternative with enormous therapeutic value. In conditions such as cancer, irritable bowel disease (Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis), IBS, and even the elderly with decreasing stomach acid, IV therapy allows for 100% absorption of nutrients, bypassing the gastrointestinal system and offering significant benefit over oral administration.

Not only does this form allow for complete absorption, but it also allows for rapid administration of higher concentration of medicines that otherwise may not be achieved by oral supplementation.

Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections of nutrients also allow for increased absorption, however the skin and the muscle will act as a time release slowing the absorption of nutrients over a greater time than intravenous administration.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS

At Radiant Health & Wellness, we look at each patient individually – customizing their IV or IM nutrient recommendations based on their conditions, concerns, and goals. Various vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, botanicals, and antioxidants can be used safely and often prescribed as a key component in a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan.

WHAT IT CAN BE USED FOR

Due to the versatile nature of the IV Nutrient Therapy, it has many indications. Many additional substances can be added to each patients bag to address specific health needs. To assess if you could benefit from the IV nutrient therapy, contact our team of qualified health professionals at Radiant Health & Wellness.

What a treatment session looks like

A typical infusion lasts between 60 minutes and 2 hours. During the appointment a qualified healthcare professional will access a vein to administer the nutrients. At Radiant Health & Wellness we use Health Canada approved equipment and a clean-field technique to minimize risk of infection and complications. Vitals are performed prior to each infusion and patients can relax in one of our comfortable reclining chairs and enjoy complimentary tea and coffee.
