IV drip therapy has become increasingly popular as a wellness treatment, but many people wonder how it actually works and whether it’s truly effective. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the science behind IV therapy and explain why it delivers nutrients more effectively than oral supplementation.
IV drip therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. This bypasses the digestive system entirely, allowing for 100% absorption of the nutrients administered.
When you take vitamins orally, they must pass through your digestive system where many factors can reduce their absorption – including stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and your individual metabolism. Studies show that oral supplements typically have an absorption rate of 20-50%, meaning much of what you consume is simply excreted.
