IV PUSHES

Glutathione IV and Double Glutathione

Glutathione IV Boost

Glutathione is an extremely effective antioxidant, referred to as the body’s “master antioxidant”, which is comprised of three essential amino acids that attack free radicals. Glutathione treatment plays a major role in liver detoxification of harmful chemicals by binding to the toxins and safely eliminating them. It is involved in preventing everything from cancer, dementia, heart disease and even wrinkles.

Glutathione is naturally produced in the body, however, poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all deplete glutathione levels.

Glutathione’s Role in Skin Lightening

Skin color comes from a pigment called melanin. The more melanin is produced, the darker your skin gets. When it comes to skin lightening, a combination of Vitamin C and Glutathione are given. These two main active ingredients acts to naturally lighten your skin and reduce excess pigmentation.

Glutathione reduces melanocytes which produces melanin and high doses of Vitamin C will also boost our natural glutathione levels and inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase. By doing this, less melanin is produced. Vitamin C repairs skin damage after sun exposure and also acts as a mild exfoliant. By getting rid of dead skin cells, which contain melanin, the skin becomes smoother and lighter.

A person taking Glutathione should take Vitamin C. This is to keep Glutathione in its reduced form and will release the potential of Vitamin C derivatives lightening properties. The lightening process starts in the dermal layer (inside the skin) working its way to the surface in the epidermal layer.

Glutathione IV Boost can be used to treat

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis
Muscle recovery to enhance athletic performance
Liver diseases (hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, alcoholic)
Immune function
Skin Lightening & Dark Spot Removal
Cancer support
Free radical
Energy production & Mitochondrial function

Quick Energy Push

Vitamin Blend

The Vitamin Blend (PF) (Non-Corn Base)

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Riboflavin-5-Phosphate
Niacinamide
Panthenol
Methylcobalamin
Thiamine

The various B vitamins in the Vitamin Blend act as coenzymes or precursors for amino acid formation activating key metabolic pathways involved in supporting optimal metabolism and energy levels.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), provides strong antioxidant support. This makes the Vitamin Blend well suited to support a wide array of conditions requiring well-rounded vitamin support, especially in scenarios of poor diet or leaky gut.

frequently asked questions

Intravenous “within vein” therapy is a safe, fast, and effective way to administer vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream. Receiving high quality nutrients intravenously allows for higher doses of nutrients with optimal absorption. This method bypasses the gut allowing for direct delivery of nutrients at the cellular level.

While there are different ways to administer micronutrients, intramuscular (IM) injection or intravenous (IV) routes may be the most effective ways to correct essential vitamin and mineral intracellular deficits in certain patients. Intravenous administration provides direct delivery to the bloodstream; bypassing breaking down of nutrient through digestion, thereby hindering absorption. This results in 100% bioavailability. For example, the level attainable by oral administration of vitamin C is much lower than that of IV administration due to saturation of gastrointestinal absorption abilities and an increase in renal clearance as oral doses increase. It has been shown that the maximum concentration of vitamin C level after oral administration was 9.3mg/dL compared to the peak level of 80 mg/dL when given intravenously (1).

This is important because some benefits from nutrients are present only when certain concentrations are reached. For instance, the antiviral effect of vitamin C has been demonstrated at a concentration of 10-15 mg/dL; a level not attainable by oral administration. Oral absorption of a nutrient may often be affected by food or other nutrients and minerals. IV administration can prevent gastrointestinal side effects such as upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting which can be limiting for proper dosing and adherence. Improved absorption with reduced GI adverse effects may make IV administration a more suitable option for many patients. Many patients have eaten so poorly for so many years based on poor Western diet options and habits that they cannot easily correct their chronic conditions with proper dieting alone.

IV therapies involving vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other natural agents that can bypass a dysfunctional gastrointestinal tract might be able to improve the patient’s quality of life quicker and more efficient, as well as improve ongoing chronic health conditions.

Just to name a few:

Increase energy levels
Strengthen your immune system
Faster recovery from an illness
Fewer illnesses
Promote anti-aging
Faster recovery time after strenuous workouts or sports competition
Helps cure that dreaded hangover

Almost anyone can receive IV Infusions. We do not treat minors under the age of 18 years old, patients with certain medical conditions, and women who are pregnant/nursing.

It is very similar to having your blood drawn. You will feel a slight pinch, after the IV is inserted it is painless. We can also apply a topical numbing agent to help ease the pain if you are afraid of needles. We try to make the process as comfortable as possible for every client.

Our highly trained, fully accredited, licensed Registered Nurse or a Nurse Practitioner administers all of our IV Vitamin Infusions.

In general, for most patients it takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. Depending on the amount of fluids you receive or any special treatments, your visit with us may take longer.

Everyone is different. The factors will depend on your nutritional and hydration status. The more deficient and unbalanced your system is, the greater and more immediate an effect you will feel. People who get regular IV Vitamin Infusions will feel less dramatic effects as their body starts to obtain optimal hydration and nutritional balance.

This will vary on the individual and the physical health status. The noticeable effects typically last 2-4 days; however, the underlying clinical benefits can continue beyond that.

Each individual requires customized therapies for their unique needs. Some people respond best to a weekly treatment while others may only require a single session each month. Your clinician will evaluate your needs and discuss which options are best for you.

Factors that determine IV Therapy frequency:

Physical activity
Nutrition
Quality of sleep
Stress

For optimal wellness and hydration, infusing before and after a strenuous workout or big night of drinking is ideal. Infusing/hydrating before your big event will help to prevent dehydration and infusing/hydrating after will help treat dehydration.

IV Therapy is a premium service that improves your body’s performance enormously. It is an investment, so if you compare the price against the benefits you receive from it, you’ll find it’s worth it.

Using preventative medicine, such as IV Therapy, strengthens your immune system, which then in turn helps you avoid expensive doctor or hospital visits and prescription medications.

Our treatments are hundreds of dollars cheaper than the same treatments at the hospital. The emergency room charges most people with insurance $250 to walk in the door, not to mention the cost of the IV fluids and other medical supplies that are needed for an IV treatment.
