5 Reasons to Consider IV Therapy as Part of Your Health Routine

It’s no mystery that your body needs support in the form of vitamins and nutrients to help it function well. In fact, your overall wellness depends on it — your physical and mental health can suffer if you’re vitamin deficient.

Unfortunately, getting the nutrients you need is becoming increasingly more difficult thanks to modern diets that are calorie-rich and nutrient-poor, leaving you to seek out ways to make up the difference. And one of the best ways to do that is through IV infusion therapy.

At Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center in Aledo, Texas, Dr. Leon Tio and his team offer customized IV infusions designed to boost health and wellness on every level. This month, we explore some of the many reasons why you should consider adding IV infusion therapy to your wellness regimen.

1. IV therapy addresses vitamin and nutrient deficiencies

We noted that modern diets are calorie-rich and nutrient-poor, and it’s no exaggeration. By the numbers, 45% of Americans aren’t getting adequate amounts of vitamin A, 46% of the population falls short on vitamin C, 95% could use more vitamin D, 84% need more vitamin E, and 15% are wanting for zinc. 

Each of these vitamins is critical for overall health and wellness, and IV infusion therapy is a great way to boost these invaluable resources for your body.

2. IV therapy gets the vitamins where they need to go

Many people take oral vitamin supplements each day to boost their health. Unfortunately, the digestion process breaks down these supplements and your body often only gets a fraction of what’s advertised on the label. 

With our IV infusions, we bypass the digestive process and deliver the vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, which is exactly where they should be. From there, your body can quickly and easily deliver the minerals and nutrients to where they need to go. 

3. IV therapy boosts immune health

As more respiratory viruses make their unwelcome rounds each year, it's more important than ever to make sure that your immune system is healthy. Each year in the United States, between 9 million and 41 million people get the flu; adults get between 2-3 colds each year.

If you want to protect yourself, it’s a great practice to boost your immune health with an IV infusion that delivers the vitamins and nutrients your system needs to function strongly.

4. IV therapy supports weight loss efforts

If you’re among the two-thirds of the population in the US carrying excess pounds, IV infusion therapy can help in your weight loss efforts. At our practice, we offer weight management services and IV infusions play an invaluable role. Once we get you set up with the right weight loss tools, including GLP-1 injections, we use IV infusions to make sure that your nutrient levels are healthy as you lose weight.

5. IV therapy replenishes nutrients lost to health issues

If you have a medical issue that’s wreaking havoc on the available nutrients in your body, IV infusions can help replenish them. From cancer treatments to health issues like anemia, we can make sure your body has access to the vitamins and nutrients affected by these treatments and conditions.

For example, we can deliver more iron into your system if you have anemia or we can focus on zinc if you have inflammatory bowel disease. Whatever is causing a deficiency, IV infusions can close those gaps.

IV infusions can play a role in most everyone's health, and we invite you to learn for yourself how this approach can boost your overall wellness. To schedule your IV infusion, please contact Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center today.
