Unfortunately drinking water and taking oral vitamins isn’t as effective as receiving it via IV. IV infusions have an immediate affect and bypass your intestines allowing the vitamins, minerals and fluid to go directly into your blood stream, providing 100% absorption. This in itself systemically targets all the tissues in your body. Whereas drinking water and taking vitamins by mouth have approximately 55% or less absorption- not allowing for you get the full effect.
It’s just an initial pinch placing the needle in- then it’s smooth sailing after that. Our healthcare professionals are specifically trained in IV insertion and have experience working in an acute setting placing IVs regularly. Many patients commonly say that they can taste vitamins and feel a cold sensation in their arm which is completely normal.
The human body is comprised of 60% water. When people are sick with food poisoning, hangover, stomach bug or other illness your body can lose a lot of water. When we lose fluids via vomiting, diarrhea, excess sweating, it’s important to replace those fluids to maintain the necessary bodily functions. Taking oral meds with an upset stomach can ultimately result in increasing your nausea and throwing all the meds up. Receiving the IV vitamins, minerals and essential fluids bypasses your gut and gives you the rapid relief you need.
