Contact Us Taking vitamin supplements can be frustrating and inconvenient, and in some cases, it may cause you to ingest some less-than-healthy chemicals. Dr. Julia Gorelik offers IV vitamin therapy to help you receive vitamin C and other supplements more effectively so that you can enjoy better health.
What is IV vitamin therapy?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is a way to receive high concentrations of vitamins and minerals directly through your bloodstream. This allows for more rapid absorption of higher doses of the vitamins and minerals than what you would receive from your food or through supplement tablets. IV therapy is also sometimes referred to as intravenous micronutrient therapy or hydration therapy.
What type of conditions can benefit from IV vitamin therapy?
Many people can benefit from IV vitamin therapy, and our dentist may recommend this treatment to improve your health and well-being if you have any number of conditions. IV therapy may be used to:
- Treat cold or flu symptoms
- Boost your immune system
- Relieve discomfort, including chronic pain
- Detox your body
- Help you lose weight
- Help you clear your complexion
- Provide additional hydration
- Alleviate stress
- Supplement treatments for individuals with gastrointestinal issues and more!
What are the benefits of IV vitamin therapy?
Benefits of vitamin therapy include:
- A high concentration of vitamins is received — vitamin supplements taken orally lose about 79% to 80% of nutrients as they pass through the body. IV therapy allows for almost 100% absorption.
- Vitamin C works to boost your health, helping you fight illness and accelerate healing.
- Regular treatments can also improve skin color and immune function while diminishing aches and pains.
What happens when you receive IV vitamin therapy?
When you receive IV therapy, our dentist will insert an IV tube into a vein. This tube will provide the vitamins directly into your bloodstream. Vitamin infusions typically take 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your veins and the volume of the liquid you are receiving.
