Is Vitamin Infusion Therapy Worth It?
If you prioritize wellness, you're probably keeping a tab on your daily vitamin intake. Whether you eat nutrient-rich foods, pop a pill, or indulge in some vitamin gummies (no judgment, they're delicious), we're all concerned about getting our daily needs, especially during these stressful times when our immune systems need to be operating on all cylinders. But did you know only a tiny fraction of orally ingested vitamins make it into our bloodstream? *deletes vitamins from Amazon cart*
People have been taking vitamins since the 1940s, so as you can imagine, things have come a long way since then. According to the National Institute of Health, one-third of Americans take some form of vitamin or mineral dietary supplement. However, 68% of us are concerned we're spending money on vitamins and supplements that don't work.
News flash, they're right. Popping pills doesn't work as well as you might have been lead to believe. Don’t get me wrong, it helps, but we have better options these days when you need an influx of vitamins to boost your immune system and energy levels.
Enter: Vitamin Drips or IV Vitamin Therapy. The Blonde Injector, aka Dr. Kamii, DNP, injects much more than Botox, PDO Threads, and lip fillers. She can boost your body with vitamins from the inside out. Sounds crazy, but there's a science to it.
Ready to learn about Vitamin IVs and see if they're worth it? You tell us, just keep reading. Let's start with the basics.
WHAT IS VITAMIN INFUSION THERAPY?
Vitamin Infusion Therapy, also called Intravenous Nutrient Therapy or Vitamin Drips, is a treatment where a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are intravenously delivered to the body. That means they're administered via IV.
Injected directly into the bloodstream, this superpower elixir is effectively and immediately absorbed by the body. Vitamins infused by IV have a 90+% absorption rate - much higher than the 10-15% of oral vitamins. When you take a vitamin pill, your body isn't getting all the benefits.
A vitamin taken orally gets broken down in the stomach and digestive tract, limiting how much can be absorbed. Not to mention, vitamin casings can be filled with artificial dyes, made of plastics and other harmful chemicals. The FDA doesn't require companies to disclose if they use phthalates in their coatings because it's a "trade secret." No, thanks.
BENEFITS OF VITAMIN INFUSION THERAPY
The possibilities and benefits are endless, truly. With a flux of vitamins at maximum absorption, your body will feel and run at its best. IV/Vitamin Infusion Therapy can:
💊 Support a healthier immune system
💊 Enhance performance both physically and cognitively
💊 Shorten recovery time from workouts
💊 Balance stress-fighting hormones like cortisol
💊 Improve concentration
💊 Increase nutrient absorption
💊 Fight aging from the inside out
💊 Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
💊 Brighten and improve overall complexion
Conditions that have responded positively to IV vitamin treatments include asthma, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. It has even been used to help muscle spasms, pain, allergies, and sinus and respiratory tract infections. Vitamins are good for you. Period.
You're probably wondering, is vitamin infusion therapy right for me? That's next.
is IV VITAMIN Therapy right for me?
I implore you to find a medical professional that isn’t a fan of vitamins.
The idea that this treatment benefits everyone is obvious. Athletes can improve their performance and recovery time. It's a great treatment for quick rehydration after an intense sporting event. Stressed individuals can benefit from a heightened immune system. Elderly folks can enhance their nutrient absorption.
Did you know it even cures a hangover? The list goes on. In short, anyone can expect an overall boost in health from a session.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM AN IV VITAMIN TREATMENT?
Vitamin Therapy takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. Similar to any IV, a needle is inserted into a vein in the arm crease. After that initial pinch, that's it! You get to chill and swipe right until your body has sucked down every last drop of vitamin goodness. There's zero recovery time and you can go about your normal day post-treatment.
