IV Nutrient Therapy

What you put in your body controls how your cells function at the cellular level, and when your cells are working properly, your organs are working properly, and when your organs are working properly and optimally, your overall health improves.  Delaware Integrative Medicine offers several different intravenous therapies based on patient needs and conditions. Our therapies range from immune system enhancement to detoxification and relaxation.

 
 

What is Nutrient Therapy?

IV Nutrient Therapy is when vitamins, minerals, peptides, amino acids and other nutrients are administered directly into the bloodstream (intravenously infused) through an IV drip. It is a safe, powerful and innovative therapy that supports the resolution of numerous health problems.

The Benefit of IV Therapy

Taking vitamin supplements is certainly beneficial. However, few people realize that when you swallow a vitamin pill or a multi-vitamin, the body’s natural absorption process can render up to 85% of that vitamin useless. In other words, when you ingest vitamins by mouth, only 15% of the active nutrients may eventually find their way into your bloodstream.

One of the main benefits of an intravenous treatment is that the nutrients are infused directly into the bloodstream.

Intravenous treatments therefore are exceptionally powerful because they circumvent issues with oral administration, including stomach upset, absorption issues, and loss of potency. In addition, since the nutrients are infused directly into the bloodstream and avoid the gastrointestinal system, very large doses can be administered without gastrointestinal side effects which can limit dosing. A perfect example of this is vitamin C, which can only be taken in fairly small amounts orally before causing stomach upset. In contrast, very large doses of vitamin C, which can be very beneficial for the immune system, benefit cancer treatments and every other biological metabolic system. It can also be administered safely and without stomach side effects with an intravenous delivery route.

When you receive an “IV” the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly and immediately. You get much higher concentrations of nutrients delivered directly to your body’s cells through intravenous delivery, thus allowing your body to better absorb and utilize these nutrients.

What Can I Expect?

At your first appointment, you will be fully evaluated by Dr. Childers. We will conduct a thorough history and physical exam (we may order blood tests). We will take a look at your total picture of health and assess whether or not IV Nutrient Therapy is right for you.

The length of your treatment depends on the nutrient mix that you are receiving and what concentration is being infused. The infusion is more comfortable than an ordinary blood draw. Your experience will differ depending on the treatment you are receiving: you may experience local warmth at the site of your infusion and either an increase in energy or a relaxation effect. An improved sense of calm and well-being goes along with many nutrient therapies.
