What is nutritional IV therapy?
Nutritional intravenous (IV) therapy is an effective method to replenish the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients essential to health. Administered directly into a vein using a small needle, IV therapy bypasses the need for nutrients to be absorbed in the digestive tract, delivering them directly to your cells. This allows for rapid uptake and for higher concentrations of nutrients to be reached as compared with oral supplementation. IV therapy is effective for supporting immune function during acute illness and for cold and flu prevention. It is beneficial in times of stress and fatigue and significantly reduces symptoms of hangovers. IV therapy can also be used in the treatment of a wide variety of acute and chronic health conditions. It is particularly useful for patients that have impaired digestive function. In addition, to IV therapy, Dr. Wilson offers quick and simple “Energy Boost” and “Slim Shot” vitamin injections.
