From treating migraines to boosting your immune system, IV therapy is something more people are turning to in order to improve energy levels, improve chronic fatigue conditions, and even battle depression.

How Does IV Therapy Work – and Why Is It More Effective than Taking a Supplement

When you take supplements, a portion of the vitamin or mineral is not absorbed. It is either broken down during digestion too quickly or not able to be absorbed through the stomach. By bypassing the digestive system and delivering the vitamins and minerals intravenously, you receive a more potent dose of the vitamins directly into your blood stream, where they can work more quickly. This higher absorption rate – approximately 90% – of vitamins ensures that you get the full benefit of their properties.
