What is IV Hydration Therapy and how can it benefit you? Experts at a top Boston Medical Spa weigh in
IV hydration therapy involves the intravenous infusion of a carefully balanced cocktail of vitamins and minerals which works to hydrate the body, boost energy levels and improve the symptoms of a wide range of conditions.
IV hydration helps to revitalize and rejuvenate your body, providing it with the supplementary nutrition that it needs. IV infusions are the quickest way to get the required nutrients back into your body. They are also the most effective way to replenish fluids, vitamins and electrolytes, ensuring maximum absorption straight into the bloodstream and avoiding any damage or depletion of nutrients which can occur when they pass through the digestive system.
What exactly is Myer’s solution?
When researching IV hydration therapy you may well have come across information about Myer’s cocktail and wondered what this is. John Myers, a physician from Maryland pioneered IV therapy over 30 years ago as a way of boosting vitamins and minerals and improving your general health and wellbeing. He formulated the ever-popular IV solution, Myer’s cocktail.
Myer’s cocktail is a vitamin and mineral IV infusion containing magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C. It works to stabilise the level of nutrients in your blood and to improve nutrient transport from the bloodstream into your cells. It can help to boost your immune system and increase your energy levels.
Myer’s cocktail has also been shown to be an effective yet safe treatment for various medical conditions, including asthma, migraines, fibromyalgia and respiratory tract infections. It is for these reasons that the Myer’s cocktail is one of the most popular choices of IV infusion.
A banana bag is another commonly used IV solution, typically containing additional thiamine, folic acid and magnesium sulfate. These are usually used to treat nutritional deficiencies.
How effective is IV hydration?
So do you really need IV fluids and are they effective? There are many reasons that you may choose to seek out an IV infusion, including:
- Dehydration
- A hangover
- Jet lag
- Fatigue
- Cold/flu
- Chronic conditions, such as asthma and fibromyalgia
- Increase athletic performance
In fact, given that up to ¾ of Americans are dehydrated at any one time, the majority of us could indeed benefit from an IV infusion.
But will IV hydration provide you with any real benefit? Reviews of IV hydration therapy are very positive, with the majority of patients raving about the amazing effects that they have seen following their treatment. As the IV nutrient solutions bypass your digestive system, you can obtain blood vitamin and mineral levels which are up to 10 times higher than those seen with oral treatments with just one infusion.
There are many different types of infusions available, which can be tailored to suit your goals. This is something that you can discuss with our doctors here at Evolution MedSpa Boston during your initial consultation. Our doctors, Dr. Eric Cappiello and Dr. Mariam Cappiello are confident that IV hydration can offer you a wide range of health benefits, including improvements in:
- Cardiovascular function
- Muscle and joint movement
- Skin condition, including an anti-aging effect
- Kidney function
Will IV hydration help my hangover?
We have all suffered from the pain of a bad hangover and will do anything to relieve this as quickly as possible. Recharging IV infusions can provide you with a quick solution to your sore head the morning after a heavy night.
Alcohol consumption can seriously deplete fluid levels as well as your balance of vitamins and minerals. As IV infusions allow 100% absorption, rehydration will occur more quickly compared to drinking lots of water.
It also helps that you can enjoy the hangover-busting benefits of IV fluids, whilst relaxing with your feet up in a comfortable chair!
