The Many Benefits of Making IV Infusion Therapy Part of Your Health Routine

You know the drill when someone’s in the hospital: The nurse usually hooks the patient up to an IV to administer fluids and medicine to help them recover as quickly as possible.

But the usefulness of IVs isn’t limited to reactive treatment in a hospital setting. IV infusion therapy can also help your body stay in tiptop condition and be ready for optimal healing if an injury does occur. 

At PRO Institute, we often recommend that our patients make IV infusion therapy a part of their health routine. Here’s why.

What is IV infusion therapy?

IV infusion therapy uses an intravenous (IV) drip to send vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This process bypasses the slower process of absorbing nutrients through your digestive system in favor of a rapid, efficient delivery system of higher concentrations of the nutrients.

What are the benefits?

IV infusion therapy benefits your body in multiple ways. Your specific mix of treatments will depend on your diagnosis, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, so you may aim for different benefits with various visits, but here are a few to consider:

Better nutrient absorption

Many people today are nutrient-deficient because they don’t eat a healthy diet or are dealing with malabsorption issues. IV infusion therapy increases the absorption of nutrients by delivering them straight into your bloodstream, where they will be absorbed more quickly and effectively.

Increased hydration

If you become dehydrated, your overall health and well-being will be affected, leading to fatigue, headaches, and even difficulties with cognitive functions.

Whether you have lost liquids and electrolytes through excessive sweating, sickness, or drinking too much alcohol, IV infusion therapy can help you rehydrate quickly, bringing your energy levels back up.

Immune support

A strong immune system is important to help you stay healthy and fight off diseases. IV infusion therapy gives that system a boost by adding doses of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that will support your immune function and shore up your body’s natural defenses.

This works well to help prevent illness (during high flu season, for instance) and to give your immune system a shot in the arm when it’s working hard to fight against a current illness.

Improved energy

Decreasing energy levels and increasing fatigue are common today, especially as we get older. IV infusion therapy can reverse those issues with powerful blends of vitamins (including B and C) that help boost your energy production. Whether you just need to make it through a long week or you’re gearing up for a performance, IV infusion therapy can help.

Miscellaneous needs

IV infusion therapy can also help address specific needs, such as improving skin health, reducing migraines and headaches, reducing signs of aging, and helping rid your body of toxins. 

Each treatment takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. You may feel better immediately after your session, or some results may take a little longer.

Based on your individual needs, we’ll determine a time for your next session as you work these treatments into your health routine. Just call our Davie, Florida, office to set up an appointment, or book your own with our convenient online scheduler.
