What is a Vitamin Drip?

Vitamin drips are substances which are delivered via an IV directly into the blood stream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for higher levels of nutrients to reach the cells more quickly than if taken orally. Compare 90% absorption IV vs 40% orally. The process is very similar to receiving a rehydration or medication drip in hospital, but in the case of vitamin drips here at Glamore Beauty Bar, we specifically design a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and beneficial trace elements to suit the specific and individual needs of every single of our patients. Vitamin drips can help to boost the immune system, improve the condition of the skin and hair and increase energy levels. They can even offer a hangover cure after a heavy night out! Here are some reasons why vitamin IV therapy can be beneficial:

The Benefits of Vitamin IV Drip

1. Increased Absorption: Certain conditions, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or chronic alcoholism, can impair nutrient absorption in the gut. IV therapy ensures direct delivery of nutrients into the bloodstream, bypassing potential absorption issues in the gastrointestinal tract.

2. High Doses: Some treatments may require nutrient levels that would be impossible or unsafe to achieve with oral supplements. For instance, high doses of vitamin C are sometimes used in medical supervision of our nurse.

3. Rapid Effect: Because nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream, they can take effect more quickly than oral supplements.

4. Hydration: IV therapy also hydrates the body, which can be beneficial for individuals who are dehydrated due to illness or intense physical activity or even a hangover.

5. Customization: IV therapy can be tailored to meet the specific nutrient needs of an individual, which can be particularly useful in treating certain deficiencies or health conditions.

6. Support for Specific Health Conditions: In some cases, IV therapy is used to support treatment of certain conditions like migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and others, though the effectiveness can vary and more research is needed in many of these areas.
