Until fairly recently medicine has assumed that there is little we can do to slow the aging process. However new scientific data says otherwise. IV nutrition therapy is often overlooked by the typical practitioner. IV nutrition is an important and powerful tool for practitioners to have in their tool box. IV nutrition therapy is any therapy that enhances a patient’s health or well being. It includes the administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other essential micro nutrients by intravenous infusion. IV nutrition has the ability to ameliorate a number of disorders, especially in patients suffering from malabsorption symptoms. IV nutrition therapy bypasses the need for gastrointestinal absorption thereby markedly increasing nutrient bioavailability and therefore cellular uptake.

All living organisms require various essential elemental components to remain living. Every cell lives in a complex mixture of nutrient rich components that ensure their proper metabolism and optimal health. This chemical microenvironment surrounding each cell has the ability to influence cellular function. IV nutrition aims to influence the composition of this nutrient rich microenvironment in order to promote cellular health. As practitioners we know that cells have the ability to differentiate and aggregate to form complex organizational structures such as tissues, organs, organs systems and ultimately a living organism. Cells function in a symphony of coordinated effort to keep a living organism alive and healthy. This is why it is so vital that each of the 200 trillion cells in our body has the nutrients it needs to support optimal tissue, organ and organ system functioning. Modern IV nutrition therapies have potent proactive aspects that act at the cellular level to support and enhance a patient’s overall health.

As a biological organism, the human body is constantly repairing injury to itself from free radicals, chemicals assaults, radiation and pollutants. The natural process of aging decreases the efficacy of the body’s natural repair mechanisms. IV nutrition presents as a powerful tool capable of enhancing the body’s ability to repair and regenerate cellular and system injuries.
