Intravenous (IV) therapy is a medical technique that delivers nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream. Your health provider uses a tiny needle to inject the fluid content you require, which may contain medications, minerals, and vitamins, into your vein. When you go to a San Antonio aesthetics med spa, your health provider may use IV therapy to deliver certain vitamins that may be deficient in your body. The essential vitamins in your body include vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins such as folate, niacin, and riboflavin.
Your body requires adequate vitamins and minerals to function properly and stay healthy. For instance, Vitamin B1 is essential in the production of various enzymes your body relies on for breaking down blood glucose or sugar.
If the blood sugar is not broken to produce fuel for the body, it leads to high blood sugar, damaging your blood vessels and putting you at risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney and nerve damage.
Subsequently, below are the benefits you may receive from IV therapy that increases the volume of vitamins in your body.
- Strengthened immune system
Your immune system safeguards the body from toxic substances, dangerous microorganisms, and cell changes that may make you sick. The immune system is comprised of numerous organs, proteins, and cells. As long as the immune system functions normally, you may not think it is there, and it works.
If you receive vitamins via IV therapy, your immune cells can directly absorb components that make them react faster to identify and eliminate threatening substances or bacteria. Sufficient vitamin C in the body strengthens the natural immunity of your body against dangerous viruses and bacteria.
- Boosts energy levels
Energy fuels your body’s internal functions and processes, including repairing and maintaining cells and tissues.
Because vitamin injections introduce essential nutrients into your body, it enables you to have good health and a strengthened immune system. If your body feels great and has the nutrients it needs to work optimally, your will experience a boost in your energy levels.
When you have increased energy levels, your physical performance becomes enhanced, you have better clarity, you experience less fatigue, and your metabolic rate is more efficient. Efficient metabolism may also assist you in achieving or maintaining a healthy weight.
- Better skin health
Vitamins you receive from IV therapy, like Vitamin B12 or cobalamin, can enhance the health and appearance of your skin. The vitamins may also improve the health of your nails and hair and help prevent or repair skin aging issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne, and brittle nails. Thus you will have vibrant, youthful-looking skin.
The vitamins and minerals your body receives can stimulate the production of proteins such as collagen and elastin that can lift the skin and make it firmer. Vitamins and minerals can also help in hydrating your skin.
Besides improved skin and nail health, IV therapy may also improve your hair’s health. The nutrients can nourish your hair follicles, encouraging them to develop faster and thus help address hair loss issues like baldness or hair thinning.
