Pros of IV Therapy

Efficient Nutrient Absorption

Since IV therapy can bypass the digestive system, the therapy can absorb nutrients quickly and efficiently. Nutrients are directly delivered to the bloodstream, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues, absorption disorders, or those who have trouble obtaining the proper amount of nutrients. This quick absorption rate can provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to improve your overall well-being.

Cost & Accessibility

Depending on where you decide to receive IV nutrition it can be relatively expensive. This cost may limit accessibility for people, especially if multiple sessions are recommended or it’s not covered by insurance. Tailored Vitality will work with you to create a treatment plan that is affordable and helps you achieve optimal health.

Not a Substitute for a Healthy Lifestyle

Although IV therapy can help with certain aspects of your recovery and improved health, it shouldn’t be a substitute for a fit lifestyle. While it can provide a boost of nutrients, patients should still maintain a well-balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity, and adopt other healthy habits. Tailored Vitality recommends IV therapy services should be seen as a complementary treatment rather than a standalone solution.
