IV Therapy is an excellent way to deliver nutrients and medicine directly to the bloodstream where it bypasses the gut and first-pass metabolism in the liver. Most supplements are approximately 10% absorbed in the GI tract, whereas 100% of the contents of an IV infusion makes it into the bloodstream. This is especially helpful when there is gut dysfunction, which may further impair absorption of nutrients. It is also possible to deliver supraphysiological doses of certain nutrients to replete and repair deep and long standing nutritional deficiencies and the damage they cause.
