Main Information

In the 18th century when doctors discovered that eating citrus fruit (containing vitamin C) counteracted scurvy amongst sea-faring sailors the science of why was lacking. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that a Russian surgeon proposed the theory that our foods contain nutrients that are essential for good body health. As understanding grew throughout the 20th century, knowledge increased about which vitamins were present in which foods, and cured which ailments or promoted which cell proliferation within the body. The medical community began to both prescribe and make synthetic versions of common vitamins to improve the health of those afflicted by deficiencies and diseases. Today, most vitamins and minerals are widely available in oral tablet and liquid forms in high street chemists and supermarkets, as well as prescribed by general practitioners for conditions such as anaemia (iron supplementation) and rickets (vitamin D supplementation). Not all of us have perfects diets - fussy eaters, busy lifestyles with little cooking from scratch and a tendency towards fats and sugars from processed foods mean that many of us are not getting the best combination of vitamins and minerals from diet alone, which can lead to deficiencies and related illnesses. Add to that hectic work and life schedules, burning the candle at both ends with little thought for getting enough sleep and many of us are fatigued and dehydrated to boot. Some therefore turn to oral vitamin supplementation as part of their diet; but there has been a recent rise in popularity for the use of IV or intravenously delivered vitamin drips instead; although this is nothing new. This treatment is offered and marketed using different names including Intravenous (IV) Hydration, Intravenous Micronutrient Therapy (IVMT) and Intravenous Nutritional Therapy (IVNT). If you are considering IV Nutritional Therapy, the following information should give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can’t answer all of your questions, as the outcome of the procedure depends on the individual patient and surgeon. Please ask a surgeon about anything you don’t understand.
