Taking vitamin supplements is certainly beneficial. However, few people realize that when you swallow a vitamin pill or a multivitamin, the body’s natural absorption process can reduce the effectiveness of that vitamin up to 85%. In other words, when you ingest vitamins by mouth, only 15% of the active nutrients may enter your bloodstream. Gone are the days when only hospital patients receive intravenous (IV) drip therapy treatments. Today, many health-conscious people enjoy IV hydration therapy as a way of getting vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and even medications they need to feel better and keep their body functioning properly. When you receive an “IV” the nutrients enter the bloodstream directly and immediately. This bypasses the digestive system, which allows you to get much higher concentrations of nutrients delivered directly to your body’s cells through IV delivery, thus allowing your body to absorb 100% of what it needs before passing along the rest to your kidneys to be flushed out.
