Vitamin Drips: The Pros and Cons – SHEERLUXE

First – what exactly is a vitamin drip?

“A vitamin drip is exactly that – when a combination of vitamins and other micronutrients are delivered intravenously via infusion therapy. Working in as little as 20 minutes, they have become a popular way to boost health. This is because the vitamins bypass your stomach – in fact, a healthy adult only absorbs 10% of nutrients from a typical supplement, whereas with an IV infusion, 100% of the nutrients are delivered straight to your bloodstream. Conditions that have responded positively to IV drips include people suffering with asthma, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, muscle spasms, post-viral fatigue and respiratory tract infections. Some people also like to receive a treatment if they are experiencing significant dehydration, such as after running a marathon or a big night of drinking.” – Dr Yassine Bendiabdallah, functional medicine specialist and co-founder of ZEN Healthcare
