Lately, there’s been a lot of buzz about the new trend of taking vitamins through injections and IV drips. Traditionalists have quickly dismissed IV vitamin therapy as pointless and ineffective without even trying to understand the science behind it. Then there are those who think it’s just a celebrity fad — something trendy that will fade away soon.
But aren’t these conclusions a bit rushed? Let’s look at three simple reasons to consider IV drips more seriously before writing them off entirely.
1. IV vitamin drips are not new.
The Institute for Healing Arts Research talks about the Myers’ Cocktail, an early form of IV vitamin therapy developed by Dr. John Myers from Baltimore more than 30 years ago. This mix includes magnesium, calcium, vitamins B5, B6, B12, and about 25 grams of vitamin C. For many years, it has been used to help with issues like chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, migraines, narcotic withdrawal, respiratory problems, and sinusitis. The direct transfer of nutrients from the blood to the cells is believed to be more effective than taking vitamins orally.
2. IV drips can be customized to suit your needs.
Every person’s body is different – what a middle-aged woman needs in terms of nutrients can be quite different from what an adolescent boy requires. This is where customized IV vitamin cocktails come in. A doctor can assess what specific vitamins your body needs and create a personalized mix just for you. This way, you get exactly what your body needs without any waste. It’s like having a personal trainer design a workout plan tailored specifically for your fitness goals.
3. If it works for them, why not you?
Celebrities like Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, Geri Halliwell, Suzanne Somers, Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte, and Simon Cowell all integrate IV vitamin therapy into their wellness routines. It seems to be working wonders for them, so why shouldn’t it work for you too?
