IV Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IV nutrition therapy right for you?

Understanding the risks and benefits is important. As with any medical treatment, there may be certain risks or side effects for certain individuals. It’s important to note that IV nutrition therapy should only be administered by trained medical professionals, as improper administration can lead to complications such as infection at the injection site. Additionally, those with kidney disease or certain allergies may not be able to tolerate certain nutrients delivered via IV. As always, it’s best to consult with Dr. Ibrahim before starting any new treatment regimen. That said, for most individuals, the potential benefits of IV nutrition therapy far outweigh any risks. So why not give your cells a little extra love with IV nutrition therapy? Your body will thank you.

Oral supplementation, on the other hand, needs to pass through the digestive tract, which can slow down the absorption process and reduce effectiveness.
