About

IV Therapy, also known as intravenous therapy, is the administration of
delivering nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream for immediate
absorption and use by the body.

IV Therapy is the fastest way to deliver nutrients throughout the body,
because it bypasses the digestive system and goes directly into the organs,
resulting in a 90-100% absorption rate (as opposed to only 20-50% possible
orally).

With one-third of UK workers experiencing anxiety, depression or stress
(according to a PwC survey), it’s not a coincidence there is a growing need for
preventative and therapeutic IV vitamin clinics, that help to boost energy
levels and stimulate the immune system.

Although the media portrays IV Therapy as the latest health craze popular
among stressed urban professionals, athletes and Hollywood celebrities, the
practice has existed for centuries.

A Brief History of IV Therapy:

IV Therapy is nothing new in the medical community, nor is it a crazy fad.
Medical professionals first attempted injecting medications into veins in the
1600s, but due to poor hygiene, the practice was abandoned.
During World War I, IV Therapy became a lifesaving treatment, but it wasn’t
until the 1960s, when Dr John Myers developed a world-famous cocktail of
vitamins and minerals, that the intravenous vitamin therapy we know today
began to really take shape.

What Are IV Therapies Used For?

IV therapy is used for several purposes including:

- Hangover relief
- Athletic performance recovery
- Immunity support
- Cold and flu relief
- Inflammation
- Digestion issues
- Exhaustion

Who Would Benefit From IV Therapy?

Originally, intravenous nutrients were used mainly in hospitals for patients who
were dehydrated, nutrient-deficient or unable to take medications orally.
Nowadays, pretty healthy people can boost their wellness and energy levels
from IV Vitamin Therapy.

The stress of modern living can lower your immune system and general
wellbeing: IV Therapy can give that much-needed boost, making it a realistic
and practical option.

While stress alone doesn’t cause us to catch a cold or a flu virus, it definitely
weakens the immune system’s ability to respond to viruses, leaving us more
vulnerable to infection and illness.

So, if you want to boost your immunity, replace lost fluids and electrolytes
after a boozy night out or support recovery from high-performance athletics –
IV Vitamin Therapy can help to restore your body’s nutrient levels to their
optimal state.
