IV Therapy for Weight Loss

Can IV vitamins increase your energy to help your weight loss goals?

Sustainable weight management depends on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, medical evaluation, and—in appropriate patients—evidence-based weight-management therapies. IV vitamins should not be presented as a stand-alone weight-loss treatment.

It takes energy to lose weight. If you are dragging around or having trouble getting out of bed, it’s impossible to muster the get-up-and-go to move your body enough to become fit. We offer IV infusions that boost energy, metabolism, and wellness.

Benefits of weight loss IVs

Nutrition and physical activity are important components of weight management. IV hydration or nutrient replacement may be appropriate when there is dehydration or a documented deficiency, but IV therapy has not been established as a primary weight-loss treatment.

Giving extra support to your adrenal gland

“Adrenal fatigue” is not an established medical diagnosis. Persistent fatigue or difficulty with weight management should be evaluated for recognized causes such as sleep disorders, thyroid disease, anemia, medication effects, metabolic disease, and nutrient deficiency.

Optimizing your vitamin levels

IV fluids and nutrients may be used when dehydration or a clinically relevant deficiency is present. They should not be marketed as a general energy-enhancing or weight-loss therapy for patients with normal nutrient status.

Maximizing your body’s vitamin absorption abilities

Most people only absorb around 50% of the vitamins and minerals they ingest orally. But it’s different with our IV drip, as your body can absorb a much higher percentage of the nutrients you are given.

Improving your sleep

Sleep is one of the critical elements of an effective weight loss strategy. It’s while you sleep that your body can begin to repair abnormalities in its daily functions.

How do our IV vitamins increase energy and metabolism?

When we talk about vitamins for metabolism and energy, it makes sense to explain the meaning of metabolism. A person’s metabolism serves three main purposes: converting food to energy, converting food to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and eliminating metabolic wastes.

IV vitamins do not directly burn body fat. When a clinically important nutrient deficiency is identified, correcting that deficiency may support normal metabolism and overall health, but meaningful weight loss still requires an evidence-based weight-management plan.

One of the major benefits of IV therapy weight loss is the ultra-high rate of nutrient absorption. When you take a vitamin orally, you lose many of its nutritional advantages. Why? When you swallow the pill, it must make its journey through the digestive system before it enters the bloodstream. With IV administration, nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream rather than relying on gastrointestinal absorption.

As you review the contents of our weight-loss vitamin IVs, think of how you will feel as optimal health flows into your veins.

What vitamins are in our weight loss formulations?

What are the best vitamins for energy and weight loss? Each IV drip is personalized to the patient, but some of our most popular energy and weight loss vitamins include: 

B12 metabolism booster and B complex essential vitamins

Vitamin B12, along with the family of B complex vitamins, goes a long way toward optimizing the body’s metabolic process. When your metabolism is humming along, the body efficiently turns food into energy — rather than fat. It also improves mental health and cognitive performance, which are great benefits as well.

B12 can be naturally found in foods that are high in protein, such as eggs, fish, and shellfish. The weight-loss benefit of B12 is that it helps turn food into glucose, also known as blood sugar. Glucose is what gives people energy; without adequate amounts of glucose, people tend to be rather lethargic.

Another key way that vitamin B12 promotes weight loss is its positive effect on anxiety and stress. Because the vitamin regulates the nervous system, having a deficiency can trigger existing conditions such as anxiety and depression.

In terms of B12 and weight loss, any deficiency can create chronic stress and an increased risk of weight gain. Also, people suffering from chronic stress and depression can experience a lack of motivation to participate in physical activities. Our IV vitamin drips replenish what the body needs, giving you the energy to hit the gym or go for a run. 

People over the age of 50 need supplements to augment B12, which decreases with age.

Our Myers’ Cocktail

This popular remedy contains various vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, and calcium. A Myers’ cocktail increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients quickly and efficiently.

High-dose vitamin C 

High-dose vitamin C makes for easier workouts, reduces stress, supports the immune system, and fights fatigue. It also works as an anti-inflammatory.

Taurine 

Taurine regulates mood, stress level, and endurance and improves sleep.

Amino acids

Amino acids help retain lean muscle and dissolve fat molecules.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that detoxes your body and is also a powerful anti-aging agent.

Minerals

Potassium, calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, chloride, and phosphate: all six of these minerals contain high levels of electrolytes.     

Of course, all our patients benefit from the hydration of our IV’s saline fluids, but electrolytes get hydration to where it’s needed.

Why trust IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV Vitamin Therapy is located in an upscale boutique-style medical office. After consulting with a physician, you will be prescribed a single nutrient or a cocktail of nutrients, depending on your health history and goals. Sessions typically take between 20 and 60 minutes, and patients are conscious for the entire procedure. After the initial painless pinprick of a needle at the injection site, the nutrients are allowed to flow into the bloodstream.

Almost immediately after injection, the nutrients injected into the body begin working. Many patients use this time to read or work remotely. Modernly designed and calm, our medical offices are the perfect environment for athletes to receive regular IV vitamin injections.
