IV vitamin therapy is a method of administering vitamins, amino acids, minerals, anti-oxidants, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. This allows the nutrients to be given at higher doses than if orally administered. The nutrients enter the body more directly where they will have the highest benefit. IV therapy bypasses the liver, allowing for higher absorption and utilization of the nutrients, which if orally ingested, would be partially eliminated by the body during normal gastro-intestinal metabolism.
