IV Drip Therapy Benefits: Boost Immunity, Energy & Skin Glow

What is IV Drip Therapy?

IV drip therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous drip. Unlike oral supplements that must pass through your digestive system (losing potency), IV therapy provides 100% bioavailability.

Originally used in hospitals for severe dehydration and nutrient deficiencies, IV therapy has become a popular wellness treatment in Lagos. From busy professionals to wellness enthusiasts, people are discovering the immediate benefits of customized vitamin infusions.

Is IV Therapy Safe?

When administered by medical professionals, IV therapy is very safe:

Contraindications include: Kidney disease. Certain heart conditions. Some medication interactions. Pregnancy (some formulas).

IV Drip Therapy vs Oral Supplements

Why IV therapy is superior for rapid results:

Bioavailability: IV = 100%, Oral = 20-50%. Speed: IV = minutes, Oral = hours to days. Digestive issues: IV bypasses stomach problems. Higher doses: IV can deliver therapeutic megadoses safely.

Oral supplements are great for maintenance, but IV therapy delivers therapeutic doses when you need fast results.
