What is IV vitamin hydration therapy?

Vitamins and minerals are essential for your health and overall well-being, and deficiencies can cause serious health problems. IV vitamin hydration therapy uses a cocktail of specially selected vitamins and minerals tailored to an individual patient’s requirements. This cocktail is introduced into the patient’s body using a cannula and fluid drip inserted into an arm vein.

Eating a healthy, varied diet is the best way to ensure you get adequate levels of nutrients into your body, but even if you take oral supplements as well, there’s evidence that a significant quantity of the nutrients consumed doesn’t get absorbed into the bloodstream. 

By bypassing the digestive system using IV nutrition, the body is able to absorb higher levels of vitamins and minerals.

What conditions can IV hydration therapy treat? 

IV hydration therapy uses specific formulations of vitamins and minerals to achieve targeted results. It can effectively treat: 

• General illness and fatigue 
• Muscle aches
• Headaches 
• Weakened immune function
• Dull skin
• Inflammation
• Post-exercise exhaustion
• Jet lag 
• Hangovers

Enjoli can tailor your IV nutrition at New Leaf Adult & Women’s Health NP, PLLC, to promote your overall wellness, help you feel better if you’re suffering from a chronic condition, or rejuvenate a dull, tired-looking complexion.

Is IV hydration therapy safe?

While not having sufficient levels of essential nutrients your body needs can impact your health and cause distressing symptoms overdoses of certain vitamins or minerals can cause their own health problems.

At New Leaf Adult & Women’s Health NP, PLLC, Enjoli takes time to discuss your diet, lifestyle, medical history, and current symptoms before preparing an IV infusion tailored to your nutritional needs. The comprehensive gathering of information ensures there’s no risk of overdosing on any of the ingredients.

Does IV nutritional therapy hurt?

Your nutritional therapy is delivered via an IV, so you’ll feel a slight prick when the needle is inserted in your vein.

During the rest of your session at New Leaf Adult & Women’s Health, NP, PLLC, you’ll relax comfortably as the nutrients are infused into your bloodstream. You might bring a book with you to read or enjoy some entertainment on your phone.
