Myer’s Nutrient IV Therapy

• The Myer’s IV contains: Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Calcium, and Magnesium and are often used for general wellness, colds and flu, fatigue and to speed up healing time from a major surgery.
• Your doctor will prepare an IV formula specifically for you based on your individual health needs. The entire treatment is done in the office and often takes approximately 30 minutes, although can be longer for cancer IVs. A treatment regimen may require one to four IV sessions depending on the purposes of the therapy and the results the patient obtains.
• There are several reasons why IV therapy can be more effective than adminis-tering vitamins and medications orally. First, absorption into the blood stream is complete and bioavailability of the substances is immediate. Second, there is no "first pass" effect in the liver, thus the procedure lessens the workload on the liver. Another thing to consider is that the absorptive capacity of the bowel may be decreased with age, and this along with a decrease in the natural production of hydrochloric acid and pancreatic enzymes can result in nutritional deficiencies because the body is no longer properly breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the foods we eat. IV repletion leads to a rapid increase in nutrient levels in the blood, meaning that the nutrients are able to get into the cells as needed and increase cell metabolism.
• After an IV session some patients may feel mild symptoms of detoxification such as temporary headache, while other patients feel very energized. In any case, IV therapy will "jumpstart" your metabolism and cause most patients to feel good and see excellent results within a short time after treatment.
• PLEASE NOTE: IV therapy should only be administered after a patient has given a complete medical history interview and has received a physical examination from the administering physician. Some lab tests may also be required before treatment. Individuals who are not established patients will need an initial admission to our services before receiving IV treatments.
