Both IV therapy and oral supplements function as a way to get essential nutrients and other helpful substances into your body. But is one better than the other? In this article, Premier Solutions & Weight Loss will take a look at both to see which option is best.
Oral Supplements: How Do They Work?
Oral supplements come in the form of powders, pills, and liquids. They can contain common nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, or substances like collagen and keratin that can improve your appearance.
Like anything else you consume by mouth, oral supplements have to pass through your digestive tract. In the process of being digested, the nutrients in your supplement will be absorbed, primarily in the small intestine. However, the digestion process can also destroy some nutrients, and in other cases, nutrients won’t be fully absorbed, or will pass as waste. Generally speaking, only a fraction of the nutrients in an oral supplement will be absorbed by your body.
IV Therapy: How Does It Work?
Much like oral supplements, IV therapy is designed to deliver nutrients to your body for the purpose of improving your health and appearance. It works by injecting these nutrients directly into your bloodstream, typically via an IV drip.
This gives IV therapy a huge advantage, because these nutrients bypass your digestive system completely. By injecting the nutrients directly into your bloodstream, your body can make use of 100% of the material injected, ensuring an ideal outcome for your treatment.
IV therapy can also provide higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals, helping you see results sooner. It can also provide benefits like improved hydration, increased energy levels, better digestion, and more. Plus, it’s easier to customize IV therapy for your needs than it is for oral supplements, which are more of a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
And the Winner Is… IV Therapy!
Oral supplements are certainly useful, but they simply can’t stand up to IV therapy. It’s more effective, provides faster results, and is easier to customize to your needs. Interested in IV therapy with Premier Solutions & Weight Loss? Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
