IV drip therapy is the most effective way to correct essential vitamin and mineral intracellular deficits. Intravenous therapy administration provides direct delivery of vitamins, minerals, and medications to the bloodstream; bypassing any obstacles in the digestive system that may hinder absorption.
Given this efficient form of delivery, the effectiveness of the treatment is accelerated; nutrients and medications become available for immediate use, sidestepping the digestive system’s attempt to metabolize nutrients and medications, as seen with oral consumption. With IV therapy, complete rehydration & 100% absorption is achieved. Full absorption of vitamins, minerals, and medications afford minimal waste and maximal effect in pursuit of transformational health goals.
