FAQ
Are you wondering who intravenous vitamin infusions are intended for? What is the composition of such infusions? What are the contraindications for the procedure, and is it safe? For these and many other questions regarding intravenous vitamin therapy, you will find answers here.
How to prepare for a vitamin drip?
The procedure does not require any special preparation. However, it is suggested to consume a large amount of fluids (at least 2 liters per day) two days before the treatment. Since the human body is composed of 70% water, which is responsible for transporting nutrients in muscles and tissues, increasing fluid intake can enhance the effectiveness of the drip by facilitating its delivery and action. Fasting is not necessary.
Can you resume daily activities after receiving a vitamin drip?
Absolutely, a positive state after the infusion should encourage you to do so.
Are intravenous dietary supplements more effective than traditional supplements?
Intravenous administration allows for the rapid delivery of nutrients directly into the patient's bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This results in immediate absorption, leading to more effective replenishment of vitamin and mineral deficiencies compared to oral supplements, which are absorbed only in the range of 10-30% depending on the patient's health.
What vitamins do the drips available at Drip on Call contain?
The supplements include vitamin C, B-group vitamins, vitamins A, D, and E, folic acid, biotin, as well as electrolyte vitamins such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and others.
Can intravenous vitamin therapy replace the daily consumption of fruits and vegetables?
While a half-hour therapy session can address vitamin deficiencies, the goal is not to encourage the elimination of fruits and vegetables from the daily diet. Due to time constraints, our bodies often lack the necessary vitamins for proper functioning. Fruits and vegetables consumed throughout the day may not sufficiently replenish the body's vitamin needs, hence the need for supplementation.
Can intravenous vitamin C administration cause side effects?
Vitamin C does not harm healthy cells, so there are no side effects. Vitamin C is designed to protect the body, strengthen immunity, and support the treatment of various diseases.
How long does vitamin therapy last?
The intravenous administration of a vitamin drip takes approximately 30-120 minutes, depending on the chosen type. The timing may significantly vary among individuals based on their individual characteristics.
How often can vitamin drips be used?
The frequency of intravenous infusions is determined individually.
Who are vitamin therapies intended for, and who can benefit from them?
Vitamin drips are a solution for those who care about health, fitness, and overall well-being. They are particularly useful for individuals experiencing stress, concentration problems, low energy levels, disturbed water-electrolyte balance, intense physical and mental work, chronic fatigue, depressive states, or those aiming to accelerate regeneration and enhance immune function through vitamin and mineral supplementation. They are recommended for active athletes and as support in the treatment of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases.
However, it is advised that pregnant women avoid using vitamin drips as the extent of vitamin penetration through the placental barrier is unknown.
How long does it take for the drip to take effect?
Vitamin drips are absorbed instantly, providing the body with 100% valuable nutrients and everything it needs in optimal amounts. However, for desired results, supplementation should be combined with a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, physical activity, and the reduction or elimination of substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.
How many visits are necessary to notice effects? Is a single therapy sufficient?
Vitamin drips are usually administered 1-2 times a week or less frequently, with beneficial effects occurring individually after 1 to 4 sessions, depending on existing deficiencies.
Is intravenous administration safe?
Intravenous supplementation is considered safe. All vitamin therapies contain permissible daily doses of vitamins. Only tested preparations based on the highest quality ingredients are used.
Can I undergo two different therapies during one visit?
Different vitamin combinations are possible during a single visit, but they are customized during consultation as not all combinations can be mixed.
Are vitamin drips just a trend?
While celebrities and athletes may use vitamin drips, they are widely applicable to anyone seeking health benefits. Drip therapies have been used worldwide for many years to effectively and safely support overall health and well-being.
