Intravenous Therapy
INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN & MINERAL THERAPY
IV therapy allows vitamins and minerals to enter your cells directly, so it is especially beneficial for people with chronic digestive problems. It improves blood circulation and immune system function while energizing the body and strengthening your ability to fight infection.
After analyzing your medical history, Vitalia physicians prescribe a nutrient IV for your individual needs.
Specific IV infusions can also deliver vitamin C to assist immune response and healing, and glutathione – a powerful antioxidant that protects your body from harmful free radicals but that can not be taken as a supplement as it is broken down by the digestive system.
Intravenous Vitamin C
A slow intravenous infusion is used to deliver a high dosage of vitamin C and other nutrients. At a low to moderate dosage, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant with important functions in the immune response, wound healing and the recycling of other antioxidants such as vitamin E. However, at a large dose, vitamin C can induce oxidative damage to cells, induce cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, boost the immune system and aid in detoxification therapies.
Intravenous vitamin C is beneficial in the following conditions:
| heart disease hepatitis detoxification |
anti-viral chemotherapy high blood pressure |
anti-bacterial diabetes heavy metal removal |
Intravenous Glutathione
Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in the human body. It protects the body’s tissues from harmful free radicals including tissues of the arteries, brain, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, skin, and lens of the eyes.
Our immune system requires glutathione to kill bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. As levels decline, our body’s ability to fight infection also declines.
The highest levels of Glutathione are found within the liver. These levels decline as we age. Environmental toxins also deplete crucial glutathione levels, making our cells more vulnerable
to damage.
Glutathione cannot be taken as a supplement because it is broken down by the digestive system before reaching the cells. Intravenous glutathione is the most effective way to raise
glutathione levels.
Intravenous glutathione can be used in the treatment of:
| Parkinson’s disease Macular degeneration Heart disease Chronic fatigue |
Alzheimer’s disease Cataracts Stroke Lung disease |
Cancer Osteoarthritis Irritable bowel Diabetes |
