Over 68% of Americans take dietary supplements and 78% of Americans believe they are a smart choice for a healthy lifestyle. At The Functional Medicine MD, we support the use of proper supplementation when needed.
However, one of the biggest issues with dietary supplements is the low absorption rate. Many nutrients in supplements – especially mainstays like multivitamin pills – have an absorption rate of less than 20%.
Clearly, not the best option if you need to provide your body high levels of nutrients quickly.
IV Therapy is different because it delivers vital vitamins and nutrients directly into the blood stream. So, you get 100% absorption of the nutrition your body needs. And since the nutrients are delivered directly into your bloodstream, your body can begin utilizing them immediately.
