IV vitamin therapy can be used to provide the body with a number of essential vitamins it may
be lacking. Ideally, you would be able to provide your body with all the vitamins it needs from the food you eat and any additional supplements you may take. However, these need to be
digested and then absorbed by the body so only about 20% of the vitamins you intake orally are
actually absorbed.
IV therapy injects the vitamins directly into the blood stream so that they can be directly
absorbed by the body. There are a variety of different drips available, including drips that contain
only the vitamin you need or drips that contain a blend of essential vitamins and minerals.
Saline is also included in the drip to help hydrate the body.
