Why Do People Get Vitamin IV?

Health and wellness is an important factor for many people’s lives; whether it be visiting the gym on a daily basis or keeping a healthy diet, we can agree that staying healthy is more than simply staying in shape. A healthy lifestyle promotes a longer life, boosts your immune system and helps to improve your overall general health; however, it can prove difficult to maintain with a busy lifestyle. Following the pandemic, people are even more keen to boost their immune system and prevent themselves from future illness. You may have noticed that we have been introduced to an array of advanced technologies that can help to accelerate the process of remaining healthy, such as the Vitamin IV treatment also known as IV vitamin drips. The treatment is an effective way to quickly consume the right antioxidants, vitamins and micronutrients for your body to function at its best, leaving you to feel and look your healthiest.  Although the Vitamin IV treatment is not new, it has certainly become a more popular alternative treatment, backed with celebrity endorsements, that is offered all over the world in some of the best treatment facilities or even in your own home.

What is a Vitamin IV treatment?

The Vitamin IV treatment is a cocktail infusion of health boosting vitamins and minerals such as vitamin-B12, magnesium and vitamin-C, that is injected directly into your body. The abbreviation of IV translates to “intravenous” which means a treatment taking place within, or administered into, the vein. As the required supplements are directly injected into the bloodstream, they are immediately absorbed and activated to replenish the body as they bypass the digestive system process.

This is a great treatment with many benefits for people who lack the nutrients their body needs or those who have general digestive disorders. It is worth noting that each treatment centre will offer their own menu of vitamin drip solutions where you will want to be examined before going ahead to choose the right one for you.

How does Vitamin IV work?

In an initial consultation, you may discuss the best course of treatment with a practitioner or you may go ahead with selecting a cocktail solution for yourself, based on your requirements. The practitioner will go ahead to insert the IV into the correct place of your arm, ensuring minimal pain, although you may feel a slight pinch when the needle is being inserted into the vein. The treatment bypasses the digestive system process as the vitamins are received directly through the bloodstream which means that the vitamins will be absorbed completely and quickly, without the need for breaking them down. Upon the completion of treatment, you will find that you are immediately rejuvenated with extra energy. The entire treatment can last up to 60 minutes where the noticeable effects will last up to 4 days, however, the drip can remain in your body for several weeks.

Benefits of Vitamin IV

There are many benefits to the treatment including the boost of the immune system to fight off viruses, managing fluctuating weight to aid with weight loss and helping with aging skin. It has even been said to cure hangovers and fight jet lag.

The reason for a treatment will differ from person to person however, the benefits will remain the same. Here is a list of benefits for a Vitamin IV treatment at Solea Beauty Lounge:

• Fastest way to consume essential nutrients

As the Vitamin IV treatment bypasses the digestive process completely, your body does not need to waste time breaking down the vitamins before they can get to work. Instead, the treatment allows the micronutrients to immediately activate and be absorbed by your body upon entry. When you bypass the digestive process, you will intake 100% of the injected vitamins, ensuring that you will not miss out on any vital supplements.

•  Great for sickness, deficiencies and immune boosting

The Vitamin IV treatment is renowned for its hydrating ability which helps to give your body a boost of energy that will relieve any head or muscle aches, pain, nausea, dehydration and much more. The hydrating benefit is what has been said to fight jet lag and cure hangovers. The Vitamin IV drip can be great to help to alleviate symptoms of illness such as the flu and boost your immune system to speed up your recovery time. Since the drip is full of micronutrients and the necessary supplements for the body, it can also help with patients who are suffering with more serious illnesses such as celiac or Chhorn’s disease, as they are known to struggle with absorbing some of the most important nutrients. Nutrient-dense cocktails can also aid with asthma, fatigue and fibromyalgia as well as get rid of any toxins and damaged cells from your body.

•  Promotes weight loss

The treatment has become a source of weight loss for many who struggle with fluctuating weight issues. Vitamin IV works to optimize your cellular levels by delivering vitamins and electrolytes such as amino and alpha-lipoic acids, which helps with weight loss by boosting your metabolism, supporting your cardiovascular circulation and efficiently burning fat. Although the treatment is not and should not be used as a meal replacement option, it can encourage weight loss when carried out alongside exercise and a healthy diet.

•  Rejuvenates skin and hair

Finally, the right Vitamin IV cocktail can benefit you in many ways including the rejuvenation of your skin and hair. With vitamins such as b12, b-complex, folic acid and vitamin-c, you can expect to see a difference in your skin and hair as it works to repair damaged cells which can also benefit signs of aging, leaving you with a nice glow.

The Vitamin IV treatment is a great way to nourish your body with vitamins as you will have maximum absorption, immediately. It is a treatment that can be proactively carried out to treat medical conditions, assist with weight loss and boost your overall health and wellness. Before going ahead with choosing the right cocktail solution for you, we recommend having a consultation with one of our trained practitioners who can advise on the most suitable option for you.
