Why iv nutrition?

What is the benefit of IV nutrients, vitamins and hydration rather than just swallowing pills or just drinking water?

Studies suggest that less than 15% of vitamins that you swallow are actually absorbed. There are lots of reasons why some people just don’t tend to absorb their vitamins and nutrients thru oral supplementation very well. Some chronic reasons include malabsorption issues, genetics, poor gut health, history of certain intestinal or stomach surgeries, just to name a few. There’s certainly some acute reasons why people aren’t able to tolerate or absorb these things as well like vomiting / food poisoning, morning sickness, etc. With IV hydration and supplements, we just bypass the gut altogether. With an IV infusion, your body has 100% absorption of the vitamins and nutrients ready for your body’s use, immediately. There’s no wait time, the benefits of the IV therapy are immediate. I think that also helps with the popularity, people love things with immediate satisfaction & gratification. There aren’t many things in life that make you feel better almost immediately….IV and vitamin infusions are one of them.
