Is it safe?
The substances used in IVNT are Vitamins, Minerals, and Water, which are classified as “Essential Nutrients” – aptly named as they are ‘essential’ for life. Essential Nutrients however are nutrients that the body cannot synthesize on its own and therefore traditionally, they were obtained from food we eat. In modern times, however, our over-cropped soil, genetically modified and over processed foods mean that many of us are severally deficient in these Essential Nutrients. By replacing our levels, under the expert advise of one of our healthcare physicians, your body can be restored to its peak fitness and maximum energy performance.
Scientifically Proven
All of the intravenous protocols used at IntraVita have been thoroughly researched and developed by a team of leading medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, and nutritionists. By practicing this type of "evidence-based medicine" we can tailor our IV infusions and IM boosters to ensure maximum effectiveness combined with minimal side effects.Some of the most extensive evidence for the effectiveness of IVNT is based on the Myer's Cocktail.
More effective than oral vitamins
More than 1 in 3 people take daily supplements and we know they are certainly beneficial, however, few people realize that when you swallow a vitamin pill the body's natural absorption process can render up to 85% of that vitamin useless. In other words, when you ingest vitamins by mouth, only 15% of the active nutrients may eventually find their way into your bloodstream.
With Intravenous Nutrition the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly and immediately to help the body to begin healing itself. You get much higher concentrations of nutrients delivered directly to your body's cells through intravenous therapy, thus allowing your body to better absorb and utilize these nutrients.
A good example of this is the use of Vitamin C when trying to overcome a viral cold. The antiviral effects of Vitamin C have been scientifically demonstrated when blood plasma levels are around 10-15 mg/dL. This level is achievable with IV therapy but not orally. A typical oral dose of Vitamin C is 500-1000mg, however even if you were to take a dose of 2500mg/day (which is highly likely to give you diarrhoea) the plasma concentration has been shown to increase to only 1.5mg/dl – ten times less than that required to have an antiviral effect.
Personalised Formulations
Male or female, young or old, short or tall, active life style or chained to the desk, people are all unique and so are their nutrient requirements. At IntraVita there are many treatment options for IV therapy depending on individual goals. After a consultation with a medical practitioner, personalised formulations are prepared for each patient made specifically to address their nutrient requirement and health needs.
Fast delivery with fast effects
Our IM Boosters take just seconds and the IV Infusions take 30-60mins. Many patients begin to feel the effects during the IV therapy, which then continues over the following hours and days. Soon you will be feeling refreshed, re-energised, revitalized.
Multiple benefits
The vitamins and minerals used in IVNT are essential for biochemical reactions in every cell in our bodies. As a result, IVNT can be used as an adjunct in any condition where low levels of nutrients or other nutritional deficiencies are suspected. In addition to Immune Support, Anti Aging, Energy Enhancement, Improved Athletic Performance and General well-being, research has shown INVT to be beneficial for Allergies, Depression, Hormone Balance, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Inflammatory, GI conditions, Fibromyalgia and many others conditions.
