IV Infusions Q & A

What do IV infusions involve?

IV infusions at Better Health Management Inc. utilize vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and other natural elements to treat a range of disorders.

Vitamins and nutrients are administered directly into a vein, bypassing the digestive system and allowing the body to absorb higher concentrations of the elements it needs to thrive.

Who benefits from IV infusions?

Better Health Management Inc recommends IV infusions for the following:

  • Dehydration
  • Food poisoning
  • Jet lag
  • Hangover
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Bacteria or yeast in the gut
  • Leaky gut
  • Low stomach acid
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Immune deficiencies
  • Mineral deficiencies
  • Viral infections
  • Illnesses associated with excessive oxidation (like cancer)
  • Gallbladder removal
  • Gastric bypass surgery
  • Other surgery

Malabsorption issues can benefit from intravenous fluid therapy. Certain prescription medications and medical disorders can affect how the body absorbs vitamins and minerals. Other conditions and factors might make it difficult for the body to absorb vitamins from food or supplements consumed by mouth. IV therapy can counteract those effects.

Are there different types of IV infusions?

The IV infusions available at Better Health Management Inc include:

Myers’ Cocktail 

An IV drip combination, or Myers’ Cocktail, consists of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium.

High Dose

An IV drip containing high doses of vitamins and nutrients, such as Vitamin C.

Vitamin C

When delivered intravenously, Vitamin C can boost your immune system, antioxidant levels, and tissue health and protect against cardiovascular disease and some cancers. It can be used alongside cancer treatment to reduce the harmful effects of cancer medications and helps to support the body during treatment.

Glutathione 

A potent antioxidant, glutathione is used mainly in the brain and liver. It helps the body detoxify and also supports immune system function.

Calcium

You need calcium for bone and tooth health. It can decrease muscle tension.

Chelation 

Chelation IV therapy combination reduces vascular inflammation caused by specific toxic metals and lessens the burden of those metals on the body.

Magnesium

People don’t usually focus on this nutrient, but magnesium is essential. Magnesium can relieve pain, migraines, constipation, cramps, muscle tension and increase energy levels.

B vitamins

You may be more familiar with receiving B vitamin injections. Many Americans are low in one or more of these vital nutrients. IV infusions can increase energy levels and improve mood. B vitamins support healthy weight loss and nervous and adrenal system health.
