What Vitamins and Minerals are In IV Therapy?

You’ve heard about  benefits, and perhaps your friends or family have sworn by its amazing power to elevate energy levels, refresh your mood, and make you feel rejuvenated after a single treatment. The truth is that IV therapy taps into the core tenets of regenerative medicine by using essential vitamins and minerals to restore your tissues and promote healing.

These vitamins and minerals don’t just boost your immune system and enhance your body’s natural cellular regeneration process. They act as a shield, helping combat the side effects of chemotherapy and illness. Most importantly, they act as a catalyst for promoting a more vibrant, healthier version of you.

The Top Vitamins & Minerals in IV Therapy

• B vitamins — B complex vitamins include folic acid (B9), thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), and niacin (B3), among others. There are eight B vitamins in total to give your body a boost. Since most cannot be stored by the body, they must be ingested or received through IV therapy regularly.

• Vitamin C — Vitamin C is an immune-boosting antioxidant that helps your body fight off free radicals and stay healthy. Vitamin C is most commonly known as ascorbic acid.

• Vitamin D — Also known as calciferol, vitamin D is made in our bodies but is also eaten in certain foods. Vitamin D helps you retain calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals for good bone health.

• Potassium — Potassium is a mineral that helps your body maintain healthy cellular fluid levels, assists muscle contraction, and helps regulate blood pressure.

• Magnesium — Magnesium is a mineral that helps stabilize your heartbeat, promote healthy blood pressure levels, and strengthen bones.

• Folate — The mineral folate promotes the healthy development of red blood cells, which deliver oxygen throughout your body.

• Zinc — Zinc is a versatile mineral that supports immune function and a healthy metabolism. Zinc also plays an important role in wound healing and your senses of taste and smell.

Our team is happy to craft personalized IV therapy formulas for your unique needs. You can also opt for a Myers’ cocktail, a popular type of IV therapy that contains all the essential vitamins and minerals in one convenient solution.
