Here are 9 reasons to consider IV Hydration Therapy
1: Energy Galore
As we run ourselves ragged with the day to day responsibilities of work, home, family and more, healthy eating becomes increasingly hard. Methylated B-complex vitamins will keep your energy levels topped off.
2: Traveling or Making Big Plans
When you're traveling, working on a big home project or preparing for a family event, you may feel drained and develop a lower immune system. Studies have shown that Vitamin C reduces the viral and bacterial load of many common illnesses. In turn it has been shown to shorten the duration of influenza when taken upon onset of symptoms.
3: Happy Mood, Happy Life
Mood is directly tied to energy levels so if you correct deficiencies with B-Vitamins, mood improves. There are other factors in maintaining energy such as Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Iron Saturation and Ferritin levels which can be checked with a simple blood test.
4: Detoxification
Genetic testing is available at iMed to determine which, if any, methylation defects one carries. Effective methylation allows the body to retain micronutrients and remove toxins but is involved in much more, from mental function, repairing DNA, genetic expression and fighting infections. Preservative- free Glutathione is given through the IV to aid in detoxification
5: Beauty is Skin Deep
All micronutrients play at least an indirect role on the largest organ of the body - the skin but Vitamin A, C, D, E, Zinc, Cooper and amino acids have direct impact. It's also necessary to rid of toxins to maintain youth and prevent premature skin aging. Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant whch can prevent cellular damage. It does this by aiding the body's ability to remove peroxides, heavy metals, free radicals and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that form from spikes in blood sugar levels. Genetic testing is available at iMed to determine if you have a predisposition to Glutathione deficiency.
6: Sleep like a Baby
Maximizing sleep is extremely important to overall health because that's when children's bodies grow and adults repair cellular damage. Sufficient vitamin A, B vitamins and amino acids are needed for the pineal glands to synthesize melatonin.
7: Body Remodeling
When we work out fat and muscle cells break down, then over the course of 24 hrs, with enough hydration, micronutrients and amino acids, muscle cells rebuild again. Micronutrients helps convert food into energy so that energy stores can be replenished within your muscles. Methionine, Inositol, Choline and L-Carnitine will help you see more dramatic muscle remodeling with work outs.
8: Stress Management
The adrenal glands sit atop of each kidney and through a biochemical cascade of events, mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids such as Cortisol, Aldosterone, DHEA, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and others are produced. Adrenal glands work tremendously during the day, then repair themselves at night normally between 9 pm to 3 am. Sleep and adequate Vitamin C, B, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron for healthy glands.
9: Chronic Illness
Zack Bush MD oncologist has said that all chronic diseases are food inflammation conditions. For example, ulcerative colitis affect nutritional absorption of Folate and Vitamin B12. At the same time, taking repeat antibiotics kills both good and bad bacteria, altering the normal gut microflora which affects how micronutrients are absorbed. Studies have shown that Methylated vitamins and Glutathione can reduce the severity of many chronic illnesses.
In Summary
At iMed, patients are encouraged to practice a healthy foundation of eating, exercise and sleep. We also promote vitamin IV infusions to treat deficiencies or be used in conjunction for an improved quality of life.
