There is a lot of talk about vitamin infusions… let’s talk about it! Hectic lifestyles and stress often rob us of strength and weaken the immune system

A vitamin therapy carried out intravenously is a method that can help strengthen one’s body and regain the right psycho-physical balance.

What is Vitamin Infusion Therapy?

Intravenous vitamin infusions, also known as intravenous vitamin therapy (TV), are very simply drips of highly concentrated vitamins.

Administered by blood they have 2 benefits:

they reach the cells faster;
they can be absorbed more by the body than food and supplements taken orally, with enhanced results.

What substances are infused

There are different types of substances that can be infused into drips, in personalized combinations, and specific dosages depending on which deficiencies are found and/or the objective to be achieved.

Among these the main ones are:

vitamins, especially C and of group B;
minerals (manganese, magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium etc.);
amino acids;
antioxidants;
homeopathic medicines that act on the metabolism, oxidative stress, chronic fatigue and have an energizing effect.

Vitamin infusion can be used for people who:

have 1 or more vitamin/mineral deficiencies who are unable to follow a balanced diet or because they suffer from pathologies that prevent them from correct vitamin absorption. One of the advantages of intravenous vitamin therapy is also that of being able to administer certain vitamins to subjects who, due to sensitivities, intolerances or food allergies, are unable to take them correctly with food;
do not have pathological deficiencies, but who want to improve their psycho-physical well-being due to a state of fatigue or stress.

The benefits of vitamin infusions

The benefits of intravenous vitamin therapy can be different, also depending on the cocktail used and the person.

Among these the main ones are:

strengthening of the immune system;
increased energy levels and less fatigue;
cell regeneration and revitalization;
reactivation of the metabolism;
purification of the organism from toxic metals and waste substances;
improvement of your bowel function;
improved mood and concentration;
strengthening nails and hair;
healthier skin;
anti-aging effect;
reduction of painful and/or inflammatory states;
decrease in manifestations of asthma, allergies, sinusitis.

The risks of vitamin therapy

Vitamins can cause interactions with other drugs or even be toxic to the body if taken in excessive doses.

For this reason, it is advisable that the treatment be carried out by qualified medical personnel who carry out all the appropriate clinical evaluations prior to administration.

Furthermore, the treatment must be evaluated in the case of:

pregnant and breastfeeding women;
certain diseases, including renal or cardiovascular diseases.

How it is administered

The cocktail of vitamins and nutrients is given in sealed bags through a small tube and needle, just like a regular IV.

The infusion is generally carried out in cycles of about 10 sessions lasting 20 minutes – 1 hour each (depending on the quantity infused), during which the patient is comfortably seated or stretched out on a bed.

Vitamin Therapy and Auto Hemo-Infusion (GAEI)

The vitamin therapy can be carried out alone or, to enhance its effect, immediately following the session of Auto Emo-Infusion (GAEI).

The GAEI consists in taking 100/150 ml of the patient’s blood which, collected in a bag, is mixed in a closed circuit system with a variable concentration of oxygen/ozone and then reinfused into the patient.

Oxygen and ozone, naturally present in our atmosphere, transported by the blood throughout the body, enhance the microcirculation and perform various functions:

analgesic;
anti-inflammatory;
regenerating and revitalizing;
energizing;
decontracting: going to relax the muscles, it is also indicated for athletes after an important sporting activity;
antioxidant;
detoxifying;
strengthening;
lipolytic, i.e. dissolving fat, acting on cellulite and localized adiposity.
