Vitamins absorbed through intravenous (IV) therapy are absorbed more efficiently than vitamins taken orally:

Which Is More Effective?

The difference between absorption of IV and oral vitamins is enormous. Oral vitamins do have true benefit in ongoing maintenance and treatment. They’re also effective in helping maintain the high levels of nutrients achieved with IV treatments.

But those nutrients must travel a laborious pathway in which many of them are lost.

That’s not the case with IV vitamins. They move directly into your body’s cells without ever passing through the gut.

In contrast, here’s the path that a single nutrient, Vitamin C, must take once you’ve swallowed it:

1. Digestion in the stomach – where gastric acids, enzymes, and “intrinsic factors” may or may not be adequate or overly acidic.

2. Digestion in the small intestine – where fats, protein, and carbs are absorbed, and where essential enzymes must be present, unless there’s a problem.

3. Absorption in the large intestine – where mostly water and minerals are absorbed.

4. Transport of the nutrients to the liver for detoxification and processing.

5. Delivery from the liver to blood vessels going to the rest of the body.

6. Absorption from the blood vessels into the tissues and from the tissues into the cells.

   
   

Now, that’s a lot to absorb! .....

Better Absorption

One of the biggest benefits of IV therapy is how efficient it is. When you consume nutrients orally, they have to go through your digestive system and metabolize before your body can use them. It’s a slow process and the reality is that orally consumed vitamins are around 50% bioavailable at best. Yikes. 

Compare that to the nutrients received via IV therapy, which your body is able to absorb 100% of since they bypass the laborious and time-consuming digestive process and go right into your bloodstream where they can get to work. The end result is that you feel better faster.

While there is a time and place for oral supplements, IV therapy is a highly effective and efficient option for those who need hydration, vitamins, or other medications quickly.
