Nutrient Therapy

Did you know that magnesium is needed for over 300 enzymes in our bodies to function properly? Or that we can’t build the collagen needed for stable joints, wrinkle-free skin or thick hair and nails without zinc? Vitamin C, for example, can preferentially kill cancer cells, but only if the concentrations can reach 120-200 mg/Dl. A dose of 2500 mg of oral Vitamin C will result in a blood level of only 2 mg/Dl. Higher concentrations simply cannot be attained by oral intake.

Optimal Vitamin D decreases the incidence of “all-cause mortality” by 77 percent. It also markedly improves our athletic performance. These are well-documented medical facts with volumes of clinical studies as back up. Taking Vitamin D is probably the simplest, cheapest way in medicine to save the most lives. Vitamin D is a hormone and has a direct effect on over 1000 genes. And if you have trouble dieting, you guessed it; higher Vitamin D levels are needed.

These’s just a few of the nutrients needed to keep our bodies running in optimal shape. IV vitamin therapy and IM nutrition therapy is the process of administering vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream.

In our day, many people believe that eating organic food is enough to obtain the nutrients needed for our bodies to function correctly. Sadly, our soil has become dangerously deficient and is not enough. That’s is why it is so important to take nutritional supplements. Of course, taking over the counter vitamins is okay. Now, think of how much better IM/IV nutrition vitamins work than oral. IM/IV nutrition therapy is the process of administering vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream.

Celiac patients get quite ill eating gluten (wheat protein), while the rest of us are in trouble also; we can’t effectively digest and absorb nutrients, for example, Vitamin D, due to this chronic gut inflammation. Even a healthy intestinal tract only allows for 10 to 25 percent absorption of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins and as if this wasn’t bad enough, once absorbed, the liver processes and destroys many of the orally ingested vitamins in a process called “first-pass metabolism.”
