I.V. nutrients, because they bypass the usual digestive processes and the limitations of digestive absorption, can reach much higher levels in the blood. These higher levels drive the nutrients into areas of the body that simply don't get much when the nutrient trickles into the blood through the gut.
Think of a river. When the river is running within its banks, most of the land around the banks stays dry. However when the river is flooding water, what it carries can reach far from the banks. So its is with I.V. nutritional therapy. We take advantage of the "flooding" of nutrients to "reach" parts of your metabolism that would only get a trickle. At times, the effects are immediate and dramatic. Other times, there is quickening to the pace of recovery that was not happening when the nutrient was given orally.
Conditions that can benefit from I.V. Nutrient therapy include:
To establish the right I.V. nutrient program for you, make an appointment with a Helios Practitioner.
The cost of an I.V. varies by the ingredients. The average cost is $77.00 and higher.
