Intravenous (IV) therapy is an effective and fast method to restore the inner balance of water and electrolytes. But you might be wondering, “Can’t I just drink more water instead?”

Hydration is certainly crucial for a healthy lifestyle but there are additional benefits to IV therapy.

Faster effect

IV fluids work faster than drinking water. When you drink water, you hydrate your oral cavity, which gives you the feeling of hydration. From there, water takes hours before it enters your system since most water is absorbed in the large intestine, which is the lower part of the digestive system. On the other hand, when you receive IV therapy, IV fluids enter your bloodstream directly. This means that the effects of hydration begin immediately, so you will feel better faster than when you simply drink a cup of water.

Ideal for nausea

IV Hydration is better for nauseous people. Nausea is one of the worst things that can happen to people, especially after drinking alcohol. When you are nauseous, your stomach aches and your consciousness is impaired. Vomiting is also associated with nausea and people who drink know how exhausting vomiting and nausea are.

IV fluid therapy can restore lost electrolyte and restore lost volume in the body when one is unable to drink fluids due to nausea. IV fluids do not pass through the gastrointestinal tract, making them the ideal and most effective for treating nausea and heartburn. IV fluids are highly effective in eliminating nausea and vomiting in about 20 to 40 minutes. They work fast since they are administered directly into the bloodstream.

More than just fluid

IV hydration provides our bodies with essential elements and electrolytes. Dehydration is not only about our water levels but also about electrolytes. Minerals and trace elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are necessary for our hydration. When someone is dehydrated, IV therapy is administered, replenishing them with potassium and saline solution to make them fully hydrated. You do not have to eat or drink while administering the IV fluids.

Additional supplements

IV fluids can be tailored to include additional supplements. Dehydrated people, especially alcoholics, should get IV therapy. IV fluids can be customized to contain vitamins, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants, and anti-nausea (antiemetic) medications.
Hangovers are among the most common causes of using IV fluid therapy. If you struggle with recovering from hangovers frequently, choose IV fluid therapy and you will be rehydrated fast and get back to your normal life in no time.

Vitamins are vital for a healthy body and mind. Many people have vitamin deficiencies. This can be a result of certain disorders, genetic predisposition, or diet issues. If your vitamin levels are low, intravenous (IV) vitamin drips boost your immune system by replenishing your vitamin levels.

In order to boost your immunity, you can rely on certain foods that are rich in vitamins and antioxidants or you can try some over-the-counter vitamin supplements. IV vitamin drips are a brand new method that can boost your immune system in order to fight any microbial infections or prevent you from becoming ill in the first place.

While supplying your body with vitamins, IV therapy detoxifies your systems. Detoxification means removing harmful toxins and free radicals, which damage your cells and cause health issues including impairment of the immune system.

How do IV drips work?

IV fluid drips provide our bodies with a combination of vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes, and saline solution. According to the health needs of the person, a group of IV formulas is blended together. It is not just a single formula for everyone; it differs according to your needs.

It is a simple process and you have already seen it a million times. An IV catheter is directly inserted into your vein and the line is attached to a bag containing the saline solution, which is placed above your head. By hanging the bag in a higher position, gravity plays a role to provide the patient with the solution slowly over time. The principle here is that the fluid is not forced into your bloodstream like with IV syringes for example.

Most IV therapies take about 30 to 45 minutes. It varies from person to another. The only exception here is our NAD IV Infusion Therapy, which takes 3 to 4 hours maximum.

Is IV therapy safe?

Administering IV therapy is a safe process and well-tolerated by nearly everyone. Few patients may experience minimum side effects during or after IV therapy, but they are usually expected. The most common side effect is the infection risk where the needle is inserted. Other side effects such as hematoma and air embolism rarely occur.

At our Beverly Hills center, we make sure that the procedure is safe and we inform our patients about their general condition. One member of our staff stays with you during the entire time to monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure and to make sure you are always comfortable.

IV vitamin therapy vs oral supplements

There is a huge difference between IV vitamin therapy and immune-boosting oral supplements. Oral vitamin supplements are not fully absorbed by the body. They enter the digestive system first, get processed by digestive acids, and then are absorbed. This whole process takes time and does not result in the full absorption of the ingested vitamins.

On the other hand, when the same amount of vitamins and antioxidants are administered intravenously by IV vitamin therapy, these immune-boosting elements bypass the digestive system and are absorbed completely.

Is IV vitamin therapy for you?

IV vitamin therapy is highly effective in boosting immunity when administered regularly. It is a great option for those who have vitamin deficiencies as well as those who want to optimize their vitamin levels to improve their immune system. IV vitamin therapy also has additional benefits like stress relief and healthier skin.

You would be a good candidate for IV vitamin therapy if you are among the following groups:

Malabsorption disorders including Crohn’s disease
Cold, cases of flu, seasonal allergies, and migraines
Acute conditions like hangovers, overexertion after extreme workouts, and jet lag
Chronic conditions such as asthma, hypothyroidism, and fibromyalgia
Feeling fatigued with low energy
Drinking alcohol on a regular basis
Exercising and training rigorously

Before any IV vitamin therapy is administered, your doctor will ask for a full medical and surgical history first. It is important to share these details, so your doctor knows what the root cause of your symptoms is. Our doctors can also perform a blood test to check your vitamin levels and determine if you suffer from any vitamin deficiencies. Once your vitamin needs are evaluated, your IV vitamin therapy will begin. You do not need to have blood work performed in most cases prior to most IV drips.

Our Beverly Hills center offers Los Angeles residents various types of IV vitamin therapies. If you have any questions, Dr. Nazarian and his team are happy to answer it. Contact us on 877-760-3564.

Nowadays many struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle without letting daily fatigue get the best of them. A typical solution to improve your energy levels is taking supplements to improve your energy levels and feel refreshed. Usually, many opt for ingesting oral energy-boosting pills, which are available in pharmacies and some supermarkets. But an alternative option that provides faster and more effective results is IV fluid therapy.

IV therapy vs oral supplements

Supplements ingested in the form of pills or syrups are not completely absorbed because they pass through our gastrointestinal tract. This passage results in a lot of processing which leads to minimal absorption. If the same energy-boosting supplements are administered intravenously, they are absorbed 100%.

More often than not, the effect of oral supplements is due to the placebo effect. Additionally, even if the supplement contains the right ingredients, it may disrupt the normal chemistry of the human body. Whereas IV therapy is tailored to you and delivers the specific nutrients your body needs.

Benefits of IV therapy

At IV Vitamin Therapy Los Angeles, we offer special energy boosting IV therapies. Unlike oral supplements, our Energy Boost IV is more effective and safer because it does not have any side effects.

It hydrates your system.
It provides your body with its needs of vitamins and traces elements.
It flushes any toxins or free radicals that may be the cause of your frequent fatigue or low energy levels.
It relieves your stress and improves your overall mood.

We can help you even more by saving you time and energy. We offer to deliver our energy boost IV therapy to your location with one of our professional staff members. Our treatment plans are convenient:

Our appointments are confidential.
Delivering our IV therapy to you is the best option for people with busy schedules or limited mobility.
Your energy will be boosted without any changes in the chemistry of your body or any unpleasant side effects.

Types of IV therapy

Our medical office offers various IV vitamin cocktails depending on your needs. After the results of your blood test are out, your doctor will discuss any vitamin deficiencies you have and recommend the appropriate vitamin cocktail for you.

Myers’ cocktail

The Myers’ cocktail is one of the most popular IV therapy cocktails. It contains several B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium. This cocktail is very effective in treating fatigue that accompanies many conditions like the flu, fibromyalgia, and depression.

IV Vitamin D

Our IV vitamin D therapy targets those who suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to reduced exposure to sunlight or an unbalanced diet. Normally, vitamin D is processed in the liver so if you take oral supplements, you may not absorb all of it. However, with IV administration, you guarantee that your body receives a high dose of vitamin D since it bypasses the liver and goes directly into the bloodstream.

IV Vitamin Therapy Los Angeles also offers various other vitamin cocktails. To learn more about our IV therapy options, contact us at 877-760-3564.

Vitamin B12 supplements are known for their energy boosting effects. If you’ve been experiencing symptoms of prolonged fatigue unrelated to acute conditions like the flu or overexertion, you may need an extra dose of vitamin B12.

What is vitamin B12?

All B vitamins have significant effects on the process of energy production in our bodies. They do not provide our bodies with energy, but they help in its synthesis. Vitamin B12 is essential for functioning normally. Among other elements, absorbing 100% of vitamin B12 enhances your energy levels. Vitamin B12 is water-soluble and that is why our bodies do not have the ability to store it. It is frequently eliminated from the body in our urine.

Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency

Fatigue and low energy are among the first symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. Others include:

Pallor
Headaches
Breathlessness
Lightheadedness
Loss of appetite

Get yourself tested and see whether vitamin B12 is the main cause of your lack of energy. If so, vitamin B12 therapy can be the best option to elevate your energy levels again.

Types of vitamin B12 supplements

Supplementation with B12 can be done in three ways: orally via pills, intramuscular (IM) injections, and intravenous (IV) with IV drips. The oral route is the slowest and least effective one when compared to the IM and IV routes. When you use vitamin B12 pills, you need much larger doses to get the same effects as the IV route. In addition, oral supplementation must be taken more frequently than IV vitamin therapy.

IV vitamin drips accompanied by vitamin B12 shots are the best way to enhance energy levels. At our Beverly Hills center, we offer our community the safest and most effective ways to administer vitamin B12 injections.

What to expect

After booking your appointment and arriving at your medical office, your physician will explain the entire procedure beforehand to make sure you are informed and comfortable with the process. Afterwards, you will be escorted to a private area to prepare for your vitamin B12 injection.

Vitamin B12 shots are injected into the muscle, typically in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The injection is brief and will not require any special follow-up steps. Once the shot is administered, you will be able to continue with the rest of your day normally.

Our Beverly Hills center offers B12 IV infusions and IM injections to rejuvenate your system and restore its energy. We provide vitamin B12 injections in our office as well as through nurse house call visits. Give us a call and we will answer any questions you have in mind regarding our energy boosting therapy. You can contact us on 877-760-3564.

Vitamin D is synonymous with manufactured milk and sunshine. Still, it is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies. This is the case especially now that we are spending even more of our time in the great indoors. Unfortunately, it is also essential to your health. Vitamin D deficiency can cause a number of health concerns. But, it is easily fixed.

What Does Vitamin D Do?

Vitamin D is primarily responsible for allowing your body to absorb calcium efficiently. If you aren’t taking in enough Vitamin D, then the National Institute of Health explains that your body will be unable to produce enough of an important hormone. Called calcitriol, this hormone is very important for your health. Without enough of it, it won’t matter how much sunlight you get or how much calcium you ingest through your diet. Your body can’t absorb it. As an alternative, your body will start to “borrow” calcium from your bones. That’s not a good thing. Especially since it has no intention of giving it back.

In addition to supporting calcium absorption, Vitamin D positively influences your immune system and energy levels. What’s more, it helps your body to regulate your insulin levels. As a result, Vitamin D is incredibly important to your daily diet. A brief history lesson best illustrates this fact.

Vitamin D and Milk

It may surprise you to know that cow’s milk isn’t naturally rich in Vitamin D. In fact, in all started in the 1930s the United States. During this time, the government began fortifying milk by adding Vitamin D. At the time, milk was already a widely accessible foodstuff. More importantly, it was rich in other ingredients that also support bone health. So, milk was chosen as the vehicle to bring Vitamin D to poor children, especially in the slums of northern industrial cities.

This decision was based on research performed through what is now Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The study revealed the connection between nutritional rickets and Vitamin D deficiency. Rickets was a terrible disease that once affected many poor children growing up in urban regions. It softens the bones and results in a recognizable bowing of the legs.

Today, rickets is virtually gone in the United States, as most American children receive milk as a regular part of their diet. However, recent studies show that times are changing. Now, American adults are the biggest concern.

American Adults and Vitamin D Deficiency

The Scientific American suggests about three-quarters of American teens and adults are Vitamin D deficient. They may be too old to see the typical effects of rickets. Still, Vitamin D deficiency causes plenty of damage. Individuals with a Vitamin D deficiency can experience a whole host of symptoms that affect everything from their physical health to their mood.

Common symptoms may include the following:

Lethargy
Irritability
Anxiety
Hair loss
Weight gain
Joint pain
Muscular pain
Frequent illness resulting from a weakened immune system.

Due to the wide-reaching symptoms caused by a Vitamin D deficiency, failing to treat the condition can lead to problems at home and at work. These problems can leave you in pain the entire time.

Addressing Vitamin Deficiency

Fortunately, there are many Vitamin D-rich foods that you can work into your diet even when you’re deprived of natural sunlight. Try working some of the following into your diet:

Fortified milk
Fatty fish like salmon or tuna
Beef liver
Eggs yolks
Orange juice fortified with Vitamin D

All of these are great additions to your daily diet. However, if you don’t see yourself consuming one of these products daily, then you should look into a supplement.

IV Vitamin Therapy Los Angeles offers intravenous Vitamin D delivery that will make sure you are treating your body with the care it deserves. Sessions are just 20-30 minutes, so they can be easily fitted into your lunch break. Just bring a book or download a game on your phone, and let vitamin therapy do the rest.
