IV therapy or intravenous therapy is a procedure of administering liquid substances into the body through the blood vessels to hydrate or deliver medication to the patient. The process is done through a catheter (which gives access to the vein) that helps introduce the solution to our system. The solutions vary in their content of electrolytes, nutrients and vitamins depending on the needs of each person. We can guide you on which would be the best for you through a medical consultation.
A solution with a high benefit for the patient is a combination of glutathione and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Both are antioxidants that protect against free radicals, help prevent infections, and reduce the risk of various illnesses and health problems such as osteoarthritis, cancer, aging, asthma, and eye diseases.
It is also important to mention that you do not have to have a medical condition for its administration, since it also raises energy levels, helps with the appearance of skin and hair, and strengthens the immune system; glutathione causes our system to have an increased response against pathogens in our body, and at the same time allows more white blood cells to be produced. Vitamin C promotes the activity of neutrophils and speeds up the response of cells.
The oral intake of these substances is usually delayed and incomplete due to the gastric process to which they are subjected. For this reason, with the help of IV therapy, they reach the bloodstream directly, ensuring their absorption.
Intravenous therapy is a safe and fast route of application. Its use isn’t limited to hospitals or medical offices, with medical supervision it can also be provided for home management.
