IV therapy, also known as Infusion therapy, delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into one's bloodstream, addressing cellular nutrient imbalances and alleviating various health issues. Factors like gastrointestinal absorption often compromise the efficiency of oral supplementation.

IV vitamin therapy can administer a high concentration of minerals and vitamins directly into the bloodstream rather than through the stomach.

A mix known as the Myers’ cocktail

includes high doses of vitamins B and C, calcium, and magnesium. A medical professional dilutes the vitamins with sterile water.
They then put the fluid into an IV bag with a tube attached to the cannula.

Other types of IV vitamin therapies include:

  • IV vitamin C for cancer: Healthcare professionals
administer high doses of vitamin C to those living with cancer.
  • IV magnesium sulfate for acute asthma
  • IV selenium for acute respiratory distress syndrome.
