The body needs many different types of vitamins and nutrients to maintain normal function throughout day to day life. However, the body cannot create these vitamins on its own. Most vitamins and nutrients come from external sources, mostly from what we eat and drink. However, as efficient as the metabolic process is, the body does not absorb all the nutrients. IV therapy circumvents this problem and ensures 100% absorption because the nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream.
The effectiveness of IV drip therapy is especially valuable during illness, when the body’s demand for nutrients is greater than usual. Supplements are invaluable to the healing process and helping the body recover more quickly.
The Med Spot offers many IV drip therapy options to quickly and effectively improve the symptoms of a wide variety of conditions. We also custom-blend formulas upon request. Each of our treatments contain a unique combination of ingredients.
IV fluids are also known as a saline solution. This sterile solution is made of sodium chloride and water. This liquid is the foundation of every IV solution, providing essential hydration, diluting medications, and facilitating the delivery of vitamins throughout the body.
The human body is composed of 60% water[, which means that staying hydrated is essential to every system.
Proper hydration provides the following health benefits:
In addition to these benefits, IV solutions ensure a 100% absorption rate, giving your body the maximum effect of the nutrients and medications in the IV formula.
Inositol is also known as vitamin B-8. When consumed in combination with other B complex vitamins, inositol helps your liver break down fats in the body, which is how it got its reputation for aiding weight loss. When taken in combination with choline, inositol forms lecithin and lecithin is known to fight fat. It is also a lipotropic agent, so inositol also might redistribute existing body fat during weight loss.
The natural mechanism of action that this nutrient uses means that it comes with none of the side effects typical of diet pills. Choline promotes a faster rate of lipolysis meaning that you burn more fat than you would at your typical metabolic rate. It does this by promoting the transportation of dietary fats throughout the body to your cells so they are promptly burned for energy. This can help to prevent future weight gain while also contributing to steady and reliable weight loss results.
Methionine is an essential amino acid, essential meaning that your body cannot produce it, so it must be supplied by diet or vitamin supplementation. Your body uses methionine to make proteins and other amino acids which help in weight loss, sugar metabolism, and normal function of your immune system
Vitamin C is a major anti-oxidant, thereby useful for combating various toxicities that invade us from the toxic civilization that we are forced to enjoy. Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to form an important protein used to maintain the skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. It helps to heal wounds and form scar tissue. It also repairs and maintains cartilage, bones, and teeth.
Vitamin C is one of the strongest antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are made when your body breaks down food or when you are exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation.
The buildup of free radicals over time is largely responsible for the aging process. Free radicals may play a role in cancer, heart disease, and conditions like arthritis. The body is NOT ABLE to make vitamin C on its own, and it does not store vitamin C.
Usage: Antiviral, antibacterial, adrenal fatigue, wound healing, cancer, immune support, improves vein integrity.
Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. The body also needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between the brain and every body part.
In addition, calcium is used to help blood vessels move blood throughout the body and to help release hormones and enzymes that act in almost every function in the human body.
Usage:
Used for muscle cramping, twitching, urticaria, rashes, insect bites, hypersensitivity reactions
It is an essential element for bone strength, heart health, immune health. It is involved in neurological processes and growth, and it is important for cognitive function. Sufficient levels of copper help the body to replace damaged connective tissues and the collagen needed to hold bones together. (Collagen is the main structural competent in the space between the connective tissues and bones.)
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of
body tissues and organs.
Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong.
Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys.
Usage:
Natural calcium channel blocker used for hypertension, pre-eclampsia, arrhythmia's, muscle cramps, migraines, asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome
Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential and helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, thyroid problems, cognitive decline. It also plays an important role in the health of your immune system. This antioxidant helps lower oxidative stress in your body, which reduces inflammation and enhances immunity
Usage:
Cancer preventative, Liver protection, cancer, cervical dysplasia, immune support, cataracts, macular degeneration, CVD, atherosclerosis, Heavy metal overload
Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. It is required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes and it plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division.
Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is required for proper sense of taste and smell. A daily intake of zinc is
required to maintain a steady state because the body has no specialized zinc storage system.
Usage:
Immune support, wound healing, post-surgery, ulcers, colitis, herpes, anorexia, diabetes, macular degeneration, low sperm count
B complex vitamins refer to several different vitamins which are part of the same family. Together, these water-soluble vitamins perform a range of vital functions including cardiovascular support, helping the body convert food into energy, immune function, and more.
In addition to these, B complex vitamins are most notable for their role in promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails. They reduce free radicals in the body that contribute to aging, resulting in an overall healthier and younger appearance.
Enables the body to use carbohydrates as energy. It is essential for glucose metabolism, and it plays a key role in nerve, muscle, and heart function. The health benefits of B1 include the alleviation of conditions like back pain, anxiety, depression, sciatica, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, diabetes, thyroid and Hashimoto’s disease
In addition to producing energy for the body, riboflavin works as an antioxidant, fighting
damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and DNA, and may contribute to the aging process, as well as the development of a number of health conditions, such as heart disease and cancer.
Antioxidants, such as riboflavin, can fight free radicals and may reduce or help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Riboflavin is also needed to help the body change vitamin B6 and folate into forms it can use. It is also important for growth and red blood cell production.
Niacin is a B vitamin that's made and used by your body to turn food into energy. It helps keep your nervous system, digestive system and skin healthy.
Is necessary for making blood cells, and it helps you convert the food you eat into energy. The health benefits of Vitamin B5 include the alleviation of conditions like asthma, hair loss, allergies, stress and anxiety, respiratory disorders, and heart problems. It also helps boost immunity, reduce osteoarthritis and signs of aging, increase resistance to various types of infections, stimulates physical growth, and manage skin disorders.
Usage:
Skin conditions, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, allergies, asthma, low immunity, insomnia, hypoglycemia, atherosclerosis, neuritis, multiple sclerosis depression, cataracts, gastritis, poor peristalsis, duodenal ulcer
Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body metabolize fats and protein.
B complex vitamins are needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly. All B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning that the body does not store them. Vitamin B6 helps the body make several neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. It is needed for normal brain development and function, and helps the body make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which influence mood, and melatonin, which helps regulate the body clock.
Along with vitamins B12 and B9 (folic acid), B6 helps control levels of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid that may be associated with heart disease. Your body needs B6 in order to absorb vitamin B12 and to make red blood cells and cells of the immune system.
Usage:
Seizures, dyskinesias, dementia, depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, acne, dermatitis, asthma, nausea or toxemia of pregnancy
Vitamin B7, also known as biotin, is part of the B-vitamin complex and is associated with improving the strength, appearance, and overall health of the skin, hair, and nails. To this end, biotin is a common addition to beauty supplements.
Biotin plays a role in converting food into energy by helping to metabolize carbohydrates and fats. B7 also helps maintain the nervous system and promotes healthy psychological function. Biotin deficiency can be marked by hair loss, a decrease in mental cognition, dermatitis, depression, hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), and ataxia (decreased muscle coordination).
Biotin cannot be absorbed through the skin. IV therapy can quickly restore normal levels of biotin to prevent unwanted symptoms of deficiency.
B-Complex vitamin associated with preventing memory loss and improving concentration, as well as boosting energy levels. Because the B vitamin complex is so versatile and performs so many functions throughout the body, it is featured in many of The Med Spot’s IV formulas.
The vitamin is helpful with preventing memory loss and improving concentration. Vitamin B12 has a large role in DNA synthesis and metabolizing amino acids. B12 is essential to ensuring the proper formation of red blood cells; low levels of B12 can result in anemia.
Some individuals have increased difficulty absorbing B12 due to an underlying medical condition. These individuals are at an increased risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency.
Symptoms of B12 deficiency include anemia, fatigue, and neurological changes such as memory problems, depression, and dementia.
B12 absorption is less effective when supplemented orally, so IV injection is an alternative and more effective way to correct B12 deficiency.Studies suggest an association between low levels of vitamin B12 in the body and cognitive impairment, neurodegenerative disease, and dementia.
Amino acids are a group of organic compounds that form the building blocks of proteins that make up 75% of the body. Being foundational to normal chemical reactions, amino acids are involved in almost every body function, including: • Growth and development
• Healing and repair
• Normal digestion
• Providing energy for the body
• Regulating moods by producing hormones
• Producing neurotransmitters
• Assisting in the creation of muscles and connective tissue
• Assisting in the synthesis of skin
Amino acids are classified into three categories – Essential, Nonessential, and Conditional. Each group has its own role and set of functions.
• Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and must be ingested from an outside source. Regular meals will provide enough for normal function.
• Nonessential amino acids are naturally produced by the body throughout the day.
• Conditional amino acids are beneficial when the body is fighting off an illness or coping with stress.
A balance of essential and nonessential amino acids are required for optimal health and wellbeing. The body does not store amino acids, so they must be ingested or produced daily, otherwise the proteins in muscle and tissue will start to degrade.
Top athletic performance relies on proteins to help maintain muscle and tissue strength. Studies suggest that amino acids enhance the body!s endurance and capacity for exercise. Amino acids may modify athletic performance in several different ways, including increasing the amount of anabolic hormones in the body to boost metabolism, changing the way the body utilizes energy during exercise, and delaying the onset of mental and physical fatigue by altering the rate at which serotonin is created.
Helps with wound healing, immunity, blood sugar regulation, and hormone production. It is primarily present in muscle tissue and regulates energy levels. Isoleucine is the BCAA best known for its role in increasing endurance, helping to repair lean tissue, and encouraging blood clotting at the site of injury.
This BCAA has been shown to provide potential benefit for athletes because its primary role in the body is to increase energy and help recovery from strenuous physical activity.
Helps regulate blood sugar levels and aids the growth and repair of muscle and bone. It is also necessary for wound healing and the production of growth hormone. Leucine works with the BCAA isoleucine and valine to help repair lean mass, regulate blood sugar, and maintain the
body’s energy levels. L-leucine has also shown to temporarily increase the production of growth hormone. Leucine is also involved in healing processes in bones, skin, and lean body mass tissue after traumatic injury. Because of this leucine is often administered in nutritional support for people recovering from surgery.
Is essential for mental focus, muscle coordination, and emotional calm. People may use valine supplements for muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy.
Plays a vital role in building muscle, maintaining bone strength, improves athletic performance, aids in recovery from injury or surgery, and regulates hormones, antibodies, and enzymes. It may also have antiviral effects specifically clinical symptoms of herpes simplex type 1.
Is a carbon and nitrogen donor and helps restore glycogen which restores energy. L- Glutamine has several functions including the support of immunity, gastrointestinal integrity, insulin secretion, neurological activity, and muscle protein synthesis. Glutamine is the most important component of muscle protein, and helps repair and build muscle. ... For bodybuilders, this is important since heavy workouts tend to greatly deplete Glutamine levels.
Is a semi-essential or conditionally non essential amino acid, meaning that it is not required in a healthy diet. While it qualifies as a non-essential amino acid because it is produced in humans, supplementation is sometimes beneficial, especially for athletes and
bodybuilders.
The benefits of L-arginine are derived from its roles in protein synthesis and serving as a precursor to nitric oxide, a potent vasodilator. For these reasons, it's important for cellular functions, muscle mass development.
Is an amino acid that performs three very important functions that enhance athletic performance: L carnitine is the nutrient, the "ferry" so to speak, that shuttles fatty acids from the blood into the mitochondria, the energy producing "furnaces" in the cells, so that the fatty acids can be used as energy. It also increases the amount of testosterone receptors, known as androgen receptors, inside muscle cells.
Is a naturally occurring amino acid that supports the production of the amino acid arginine. Increased arginine leads to increased nitric oxide, a vasodilator that opens up blood vessels and increases
oxygen and blood flow throughout your body. Your body produces it, but supplementing can help you have a killer workout. L-Citrulline aids in blood vessel dilation, this lets more oxygen and nutrients hit your hard-working muscles. Citrulline also keeps you going strong by helping your body eliminate ammonia. Ammonia, a byproduct of protein synthesis, causes exercise-related fatigue.
Supports athletic performance, including strength, power and speed. Supports healthy wound recovery due to its role in collagen production. L-ornithine supports liver functioning by managing ammonia levels. serves as the precursor for various other important compounds such as glutamic acid, proline and citrulline
Glutathione is an antioxidant that plays a crucial role in preventing cellular damage. This antioxidant binds with toxins in the body and facilitates their removal from the body.
Glutathione is involved in many metabolic processes and biochemical reactions, as well as DNA repair and synthesis. Studies suggest that it also slows the speed of aging.
Glutathione shields cellular macromolecules from redox reactions and mitigates oxidative stress on the body by detoxifying the body, neutralizing free radicals and facilitating cell excretion. Glutathione also recycles vitamins C and E to protect cells from damaging oxidants. The amount of glutathione in cellular fluids naturally decreases over time, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the body!s natural ability to remove free radicals.
A deficiency in glutathione can contribute to increased oxidative stress on the body, so supplementation is especially valuable in preventing the damaging effects of free radicals and reducing oxidative stress at the cellular level. Because glutathione is not well absorbed by the body when taken by mouth, it is ideal when administered in IV solutions.
Helps with hormone production, growth and repair, improves immunity and facilitates digestion. Act as an anti inflammatory agent, therefore zinc may have significant therapeutic benefits for several common, chronic diseases like fighting cancer or reversing heart disease. Zinc is also great for skin health if the person is deficient and can be useful for acne in particular due to its natural anti inflammatory, antibacterial and immune support functions.
