Some people struggle with viral or bacterial infections that affect them for a long period of time. Some illnesses even cause life-long symptoms that can be debilitating and frustrating  to live with. There are many chronic conditions out there and they vary in nature and severity. However, IV therapy can bring relief from many of the most common symptoms.

Types of Chronic Infections Commonly Treated with IV Hydration Therapy

Some of the illnesses that can be treated with regular IV therapy include:

• Lyme disease
• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Epstein-Barr virus
• Cytomegalovirus
• Skin infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Sinus infections
• HIV/AIDS
• Other sexually transmitted disease

While these conditions are different, they can all lead to fatigue, fever, stomach infection, and joint pain.

How IV Hydration Therapy Can Help

Since long-term infections can put lots of stress on the body, you need to make sure that you’re getting all the nutrients you need so you can be as healthy as possible. Your food should be your primary source of nutrition but many people don’t get all the vitamins and minerals they need from their meals alone. While taking oral vitamins is an option, it is not as effective or efficient as supplementing via IV. Fortunately, many of the vitamins and minerals that doctors advise people with chronic illnesses to take can be administered via IV.

When you take nutrients orally, your stomach and liver have to break them down and only a small portion makes it into the bloodstream. However, when vitamins are administered directly into the bloodstream, they don’t go through the digestive system so the full dosage becomes available to the body almost immediately.  It is also much easier to take large doses of vitamins in this way.

People with chronic illnesses also often need more nutrients than they could comfortably consume in the form of food or pills. In contrast, intravenous therapy provides a fast, efficient way to boost your nutrient intake and get relief from symptoms associated with chronic infections. Patients don’t typically experience any discomfort beyond the initial needle prick and they can just relax while they receive treatment.

The vitamin B-complex is made up of eight different vitamins that all help to convert food into energy. They also each play a unique role in ensuring the individual’s health and wellbeing. People who eat a nutritious, varied diet usually get adequate amounts of vitamin B, but others need to supplement. IV hydration treatment is the most effective way to boost your intake of vitamins and other nutrients.

The Eight B Vitamins that make up the B-Complex

B vitamins are essential. Let’s look at the role of each vitamin. Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is important for the proper functioning of the brain, heart, and other organs. Meanwhile, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is necessary for the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Vitamin B3 (niacin) helps to maintain the health of the skin and nerves and aids in digestion.

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) supports a healthy brain and nervous system while vitamin B6 or pyridoxine helps to strengthen the immune system. It also assists in the production of new blood cells. Vitamin B7, also known as biotin, is necessary for healthy hair, nails, and nerve function. Meanwhile, the body needs vitamin B9 (folic acid) to make DNA and genetic material and vitamin B12 (cobalamin) to support the nerve and blood cells.

If you’re not getting adequate levels of these vitamins, you need to supplement with IV hydration treatment. That way, you can avoid many of the problems caused by a lack of B-complex vitamins.

Get Relief from These Conditions with IV Hydration Therapy

Many people struggle with health problems that may be partially due to a lack of Vitamin B. For example, some studies suggest that vitamins B6, B9 and B12 can help to prevent migraines with aura. Vitamin B2 may also help to prevent migraines by addressing dysfunction of the mitochondria.

Meanwhile lower levels of vitamin B12 have been linked to increased depression and anxiety. While more research is needed in this area, it’s possible that getting adequate amounts of B vitamins could bring relief from mood disorders.

B vitamins can also improve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and help with the healing of wounds and canker sores. In addition, pregnant women, vegans and vegetarians, people who have had gastric bypass surgery, and older adults can all benefit from IV hydration therapy.

Many people struggle with anxiety and often they rely on medication and therapy for relief from their symptoms. While these are effective, some people opt to supplement their doctor-prescribed treatment with IV hydration therapy. A variety of nutrients coupled with NAD+ is popular. In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the symptoms of anxiety as well as how IV therapy may help.

Symptoms of Anxiety

There are different types of anxiety disorders. Some people are diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder which is characterized by persistent anxiety. However, other people experience anxiety linked to specific situations. In most cases, individuals with anxiety disorders experience:

• Feelings of tension and nervousness
• Trouble sleeping or concentration
• Worry that’s difficult to control
• A sense of impending danger or doom
• Hyperventilation and sweating

Getting Relief from Your Symptoms with IV Hydration Therapy

Many people with anxiety disorders report a reduction in their symptoms after they get IV hydration therapy. The treatment can be customized to meet your nutritional needs, unlike an oral supplement. However, individuals struggling with anxiety often benefit from certain ingredients.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is a chemical that can help you to fight symptoms of anxiety. It occurs naturally in the body and helps to protect the structure of cells. NAD also affects siriutins which are proteins that affect mood. An infusion of NAD can ensure you have enough of this protein in your body to regulate your mood.

Certain vitamins and minerals that support brain health can also be included in your IV. B vitamins are especially important and if you have a deficiency, you may experience fatigue and mood disturbances. Meanwhile, vitamin C is necessary to protect your cells from free radical damage. Free radicals in the nervous system can make symptoms of anxiety worse.

Magnesium is also an essential ingredient if you often feel anxious. If you are deficient in this mineral, you’re more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. When you have optimum levels of magnesium in your body, you’ll have healthier brain function.

Your brain also needs zinc to produce serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These neurotransmitters help to reduce anxiety. If you address any zinc deficiencies you have, you may get relief from your anxiety symptoms.

Not being able to sleep can be highly frustrating. Not only do you find it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep at night, but you feel tired and irritable the next day. Many people don’t realize just how important sleep is. Or how it affects physical and mental health. Sleep regulates appetite and boosts the immune system. It also improves concentration, and decreases the risk of depression. If you’ve been struggling to get a good night’s rest, you may have received several tips. Friends and family may have told you to reduce your screen time. Others may have said limit caffeine or use blackout blinds in your bedroom. However, you may not have been told about the benefits offered by IV hydration treatment. While several factors can lead to sleep problems, many of them are actually caused by dehydration and a lack of nutrients.

How Dehydration and a Lack of Nutrients Can Cause Insomnia

If you are dehydrated, you may feel exhausted but still be unable to sleep. Alternatively, you may feel awake when you would expect to be tired. Without adequate amounts of fluids, you may also experience headaches and lower melatonin levels. Both of these can make it difficult to sleep. Another effect of dehydration is soreness or itchiness of the eyes, mouth or skin. If these parts of your body aren’t well lubricated, they will be uncomfortable and again, insomnia may also occur.

When you don’t get adequate sleep, you won’t just be tired. You’ll also be at greater risk of developing cancer, mood disorders, heart disease, and other conditions. The good news is that when you rehydrate your body and replenish the vitamins you badly need, you’ll likely experience an improvement in your quality of sleep. If your insomnia is due to an underlying condition, treating that condition with IV hydration threatment is likely to improve your sleep.

Why Hydration Therapy Is So Helpful

With IV hydration, you get a customized infusion of the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that you need, all in a sterile saline solution. For people dealing with insomnia, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 are especially helpful. Zinc regulates mood, improves wellbeing, and boosts the quality of sleep. Magnesium supports brain function, reduces inflammation, and helps to balance mood. It has been known to improve the quality and duration of sleep. Meanwhile, vitamin B6 assists in the production of serotonin and melatonin which are important to mood and sound sleep.
