Intravenous Drip Therapy
Intravenous (IV) drip therapy, a form of intravenous therapy, stands as the optimal method for delivering vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream using a cannula. This method bypasses the digestive barrier, ensuring maximum bioavailability of the nutrients, allowing your body to rapidly absorb what it requires.
How is it administered?
IV drip therapy is a medical procedure involving the direct delivery of a blend of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients into the bloodstream through a vein, facilitated by an IV cannula. The cannula is inserted into a vein and connected to a small tube, which in turn is attached to an IV bag containing the customized formula.
