7 Immune-Boosting Benefits of Hydration IV Therapy

Is IV therapy all hype? Our answer is a resounding NO! But seeing it recommended by your favorite celeb probably doesn’t strike confidence into your heart. 

Intravenous hydration therapy is administered and monitored by a medical professional in a sterile environment. After a consult about your health goals and medical history with a physician you receive a saline solution and a customized host of vitamins and medication to help you function at your best. 

IV vitamin therapy is a great way to give your immunity a boost, restore your body after illness and injury, and improve cognitive function. Keep reading to discover 7 real ways IV therapy can help you be your best self.

1. Restores Your Hydration

Water is essential to every process in the body, yet in the US we get less of it every year. This is largely due to the availability of processed foods and calorically dense beverages that have no real hydration or nutritional value. Drinks like coffee, soda, energy drinks, and sports drinks take the place of regular water intake and leave your cells thirsty. 

We used to eat more fruits and veggies that were high in water content, but those have been replaced with sugary snacks. So in total, you are getting less water through both food and drinks. And as you get older, your thirst instinct diminishes so it becomes difficult to know if you are dehydrated until it’s too late. 

Hydration facilitates every function in your body. As you lose hydration you lose cognitive function and your ability to fight infection and disease. You’re also more prone to developing diseases from poor nutritional intake. 

Improving your hydration levels helps to decrease decline in kidney function and lower blood pressure. Hydration IV helps you restore the proper balance of hydration while providing a gang of essential nutrients to help your body function at its best.

2. You Get More of the Goodness from Nutrients

Digestion starts with chewing and swallowing and ends in the intestines. During this process, your body absorbs up to 50% of the nutrients you eat. And this varies by your health and the type of foods you eat. When you receive IV Hydration therapy, your cells more readily accept the nutrients because they go straight into your bloodstream. During this process, you are able to absorb up to 90% of the vitamins and minerals included in your IV.

While supplementation is not a substitute for whole foods, you aid your body’s natural processes by giving your nutritional intake a boost. Not only do you replenish your electrolytes, you also get a host of anti-aging, anti-inflammatory antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. 

3. Prolongs Cellular Life & Speeds Recover from Injury

The cells in your body have a natural life cycle of growth and death. This cycle helps to cleanse waste from the body but it can also contribute to premature aging and slow recovery. 

IV treatments like the NAD infusion at Hydration IV Lounge help your cells to regenerate and live longer. NAD is an amino acid, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide that aids in better skin, hair, and nails but also wound and injury recovery. It also helps with brain cell regeneration. 

Zinc is another essential mineral that aids in cell repair, hormone production, digestion, and mental function. 

4. Reduces Your Downtime from Illness

When you’re sick it’s no question that you get less of the things your body needs. IV Hydration infuses your blood with a complex of vitamins that are proven to treat and prevent illness. Vitamins like C and D that are used regularly for their illness-fighting properties and B vitamins for fighting fatigue.

You don’t have to wait until you're sick to have an IV infusion. Use it as a preventative measure before or after traveling or regularly during cold and flu season. 

5. Helps Your Body Fight Inflammation

Inflammation is your body's way of protecting you from bacteria and disease. However, inflammation is a short-term process. When it is overactive in your body or lasts longer than it should it becomes chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a constant reaction to pollutants, toxins, even excess fat cells. It can result in the buildup of cholesterol and reduced nutrient absorption and bodily performance.  

Hydration therapy provides you with an infusion of natural inflammation-fighting nutrients like Zinc and vitamin D. With regular treatments, IV vitamin therapy may help to reduce long-term inflammation and your overall response to allergens. 

6. Helps Your Brain Stay Its Best

Your brain has what is called a Blood Brain Barrier that regulates what gets into your body’s powerhouse. Nutrients you receive through IV therapy plus fatty acids and glucose in your diet, readily pass this barrier. These essential vitamins and minerals plus improved hydration levels help improve concentration, mood, and alertness. 

Busy lifestyles often result in forgetting to take proper care of yourself. Hydration IV therapy is a great way to relax, recenter, and give your body what it needs to function at its best.

7. May Improve Quality of Life for Chronic Conditions

When prescribed by a qualified doctor, IV therapy can help improve the quality of life for individuals living with chronic conditions. 

Vitamin IV treatments have been used in individuals suffering from asthma, migraines, chronic fatigue, muscle spasms, allergies, respiratory infections, and fibromyalgia. For asthma patients, both acute and chronic sufferers saw benefits with short and long-term use of a Myer’s cocktail-style vitamin infusion.  A Myer’s cocktail consists of vitamins B and C and minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions often have trouble absorbing nutrients properly via the digestive system. If you have digestive troubles, IV treatments can help deliver vital supplements that may improve quality of life.
