Gone are the days when IV infusion (commonly known as IV therapy) was merely used for sick people. IV infusion is now the craze among Hollywood celebrities, stressed urban professionals, health-conscious individuals, and everyone in between for a variety of purposes, such as for boosting immune system function, skin rejuvenation, weight loss, combating inflammation, to name a few.
If you’re on this page because you’re thinking of jumping onboard this health bandwagon, keep reading to learn more about IV infusion, particularly how soon you can see results from it.
The IV Infusion Process
IV infusions can contain either a single nutrient or a cocktail of vitamins and minerals, such as the following:
- Amino Acids
- B Complex
- Biotin
- Calcium
- Glutathione
- L-Arginine
- Magnesium
- Selenium
- Vitamin C
- Zinc
During the session, your physician will insert an IV catheter into your vein to deliver the nutrient straight into your bloodstream. Since the process bypasses your digestive system, it allows for a remarkably quicker and better absorption (nearly 100%), thereby enabling your body to use the nutrients immediately and efficiently. Unlike when supplements are ingested, they naturally pass through your digestive system, where they are metabolized. This greatly reduces the amount of nutrients entering your bloodstream—leaving as little as 8%, depending on your gut health and deficiencies.
How Soon Will I See the Results?
How soon you will see the results depends on what is being infused, your age, and other factors. For instance, if you’re receiving IV therapy for hydration or to cure a hangover, you can expect results anywhere from 45 minutes to four hours after treatment. If your purpose is to boost your energy levels, the effects of IV infusion therapy can be noticed within four days to two weeks after treatment. If you are having an IV infusion to accelerate your metabolism, or to improve your skin, it may take at least three weeks before you start to notice the positive effects.
Before recommending an IV infusion treatment, your provider should let you know if it is right for you, how frequently you should receive it (or how many sessions you need) to achieve the best results, among other important information.
