IV vitamin therapy is amazing for your health. It can help boost your immune system, promote healthy skin and hair, help with weight loss, increase athletic performance, and so much more. Here are our top five benefits of IV therapy, from IV Revival.
1. It Can Help You Lose Weight
Diet is key to helping you lose weight, but did you know that your body’s digestion isn’t optimized to absorb important vitamins and minerals? An IV places hydration and nutrition directly into your bloodstream to supplement what your body doesn’t absorb. Some of these vitamins and minerals are essential to help your metabolism!
B Vitamins Boost Metabolism
B vitamins are essential building blocks for your metabolism. Their main functions are to help your body break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and to use the energy stored in food.
B12 is also essential in fighting fatigue and depression. It can help keep you motivated to stick to your diet and give you the energy you need to push through the last half of your exercise routine. It helps beyond that too! The vitamin regulates cell metabolism and plays a role in the transformation of fatty acids into energy.
B12 is also important to take if you’re switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet, as it is found in meat, dairy and eggs.
2. IV Therapy Can Get Rid of a Hangover
We’ve all been there — you had too much fun the night before and now you’re paying for it. You don’t have to muster up the strength to push through it on your own. IV therapy can help get you back on your feet in no time.
But why does alcohol make us feel so poorly the next day? Liquor is a diuretic, which means it takes vitamins and nutrients out of the body. It also increases the production of urine, so you’ll lose more fluids and electrolytes and will become dehydrated if you’re not careful.
Second, excessive amounts of alcohol can cause vomiting, leading to an even further loss of fluids and electrolytes.
The best way to combat a hangover is to replace the hydration and electrolytes you lost the night before. IV Revival will never judge you if you partied too hard the night before. Instead, give us a call and request an appointment. One of their nurses will come to you and administer one of their treatments, such as Revive.
Revive is one liter of pH balanced fluid, electrolytes, B-complex and B12. It helps to re-energize you, improve your mood, improve your sleep and brain function, and detoxify your body. It’s perfect for giving your hangover a swift kick out the door.
3. IV Therapy Promotes Healthy Muscles
IV Revival recently published a blog all about how vitamins and minerals can give you a boost while you’re training for spring sports. Check that out if you’re an athlete! If you’re more of a recreational athlete or exercise enthusiast, you can benefit too!
Vitamin B12 and B-Complex reduce fatigue while improving memory. As mentioned above, it can help give you the energy you need to push through your exercise routine.
It helps beyond that too! Female athletes, vegetarians, and vegans are at risk for B12 deficiency, which can lead to weakness and fatigue.
Magnesium helps relax your muscles after an intense workout. If you’re a wrestler or involved in weight-controlled activities, you will need 10-20% more magnesium intake than the average athlete.
Vitamin C is essential to helping you fight off colds. When your body is undergoing excessive stress, your risk of illness increases!
Vitamin C also helps flush the muscles of lactic acid. Lactic acid is what causes your muscles to ache during (not after) an exercise. It is your body’s natural defense to overexertion. Therefore, vitamin C helps with soothing muscles!
It also boosts the production of collagen, which repairs skin tissue, tendons and blood vessels.
