Frequently Asked Questions About IV Vitamin Therapy in New York City

Helping You Make An Informed Decision

In today’s world, your immune system is constantly being subjected to toxins, so your body needs all the help it can get. This is especially true if you are suffering from a chronic disease. IV Vitamin Therapy can enhance your immune system and help encourage your body’s natural healing process. From cardiologists treating cardiovascular disease to patients focused on cosmetic benefits, vitamin injections can help treat a variety of disorders for fast and effective results.

We know you want to learn more about these exciting new treatments, so take a look at the following list of frequently asked questions or give our friendly team a call for more information.

What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy is a safe and effective method for delivering natural vitamins and minerals directly to your bloodstream. Bypassing the digestive tract allows for 100% absorption of all nutrients, which makes them immediately available for cellular use.

Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy

There are many benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy, including:

  • Most efficient method of delivering vital nutrients to the body
  • Bypasses the digestive tract for 100% absorption
  • Nutrients are immediately available for cellular use
  • Safely delivers higher doses of vitamins that would not be tolerated if taken orally
  • Boosts the immune system to help prevent or treat illness
  • Increases energy
  • Slows the effects of aging
What Issues Can IV Vitamin Therapy Help Treat?

IV Vitamin Therapy can safely and effectively treat a variety of disorders, including:

  • Weight loss issues
  • Chronic depression
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Anxiety
  • Tension headaches
  • Acute or chronic muscle spasm
  • Narcotic withdrawal
  • Bronchitis
  • Migraine headaches
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Seasonal allergic rhinitis
  • Respiratory problems
  • Acute or chronic asthma
  • Sinusitis
Is IV Vitamin Therapy Safe?

Yes, IV Vitamin Therapy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive method that is well tolerated by most people and has a low risk of serious adverse side effects. Before any treatment begins, the expert team at Mitchell Medical Group will test your vital signs, monitor your blood pressure, and carefully examine your health history. Doses will be adjusted to your individual needs, and every therapy session is conducted under strict medical supervision.

Does IV Vitamin Therapy Work?

While IV Vitamin Therapy and vitamin injections are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, they can supplement what’s missing from your diet and provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs to boost immunity, increase energy levels, and encourage the healing process.

What Is the Difference Between Vitamin Injections & IV Vitamin Therapy?

Simply put, the main difference between these two treatments is the administration process. Vitamin injections are given in single-shot doses while IV Vitamin Therapy is delivered via an IV drip line.

Are There Side Effects of IV Vitamin Therapy?

With IV Vitamin Therapy, side effects are infrequent and minimal. The most common side effect is irritation at the IV insertion site. Some people may experience a sensation of warmth and flushing during treatment or have the taste of vitamins in their mouth shortly after the infusion. Though high doses of vitamins are more easily tolerated through IV Vitamin Therapy than oral vitamin supplements, it is a good idea to start with lower doses and work your way up to minimize discomfort or sensitivity. There is a very low risk of serious adverse side effects.

How Does IV Vitamin Therapy Improve Your Health?

IV Vitamin Therapy helps deliver antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream, giving your immune system the building blocks it needs to repair and protect your body. You may experience a surge in energy, a lift in mood, or an increased feeling of alertness.

What Does Your IV Vitamin Therapy Include?

Our IV Vitamin Therapy includes the following vitamins:

  • Vitamin C
  • B complex
  • Magnesium

Your IV vitamin treatment protocol will be determined based on your individual needs.

Are Vitamins and Minerals Necessary for Health?

Vitamins and Minerals have a wide range of medical usage, but not for everyone. If you are a healthy 20 or 30-year-old and you eat a very well-balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, along with meats and fish, you probably don’t need a daily multivitamin or mineral supplementation. If you work out regularly you probably would benefit from a whey protein shake with key amino acids to help repair the muscles from exercise. So, no not everyone needs vitamins.

However, at Mitchell Medical Group, we see an array of medical conditions which can highly benefit from vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Some medical conditions that benefit from vitamin and mineral supplementation:

  • Vitamin B deficiencies due to a vegetarian diet
  • Lack of absorption from powerful acid blocking medications
  • Chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue

Examples:

To summarize: Yes, vitamins are not necessary for everyone, but many patients dealing with medical problems can certainly support their nutrition with vitamins and minerals.

For years, doctors have been touting the benefits of oral supplements. However, over the last decade, there has been a change in the way doctors approach nutrient deficit in the body. At Mitchell Medical Group, we offer both IV Vitamin Therapy and vitamin injections to help ensure that your body is getting the vitamins and minerals it needs to maximize your health.
