What is Vitamin & Nutritional IV Therapy?
The goal of IV Therapy is to infuse a high dosage of vitamins and nutrients for immediate use by the body. IV Therapy also ensures that a specified amount a nutrients enters the body and takes the guesswork out of what the intestines can actually absorb. As a result of bypassing the intestines, much higher levels of vitamins and nutrients can be delivered to the system than what is possible with oral supplementation. Each formulation is created with the patient's unique needs in mind. The end results are enhanced recovery time from illness and the prevention of relapse.
Amino Acid IV
There are twenty amino acids. Nine of these are known as essential amino acids. Essential amino acids can't be made by the body and must be obtained from our diet. Non-essential amino acids can be manufactured from within our own cells. Individual amino acids are joined together in sequential chains to form proteins. Protein, the body's building material, is essential to every cell and makes-up our muscles, hair, bones, collagen, and connective tissue. Essential and non-essential amino acids are involved in every bodily function. They are the raw materials for the reproduction and growth of every cell. Amino acids are in every bone, organ (including the brain), muscle, and most every hormone. Amino acids are also needed to make enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that coordinate thousands of chemical reactions that take place in the body. Enzymes are essential for breaking down and digesting carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
A few distinctions are needed in order to understand and use amino acids properly. Amino acids can occur in two forms, a "D-form" and an "L-form". These two forms are mirror images of one another. The "L-form" is available in the foods we eat, and it is considered the most absorbable form. The white, crystalline free-form amino acids derived from brown rice protein are the purest supplement available. In a natural state all amino acids are in the "L-form". "D-forms' can be formed by bacteria, tissue catabolism, or synthetically. Most "D-forms" are not available for protein synthesis and can be detrimental to normal enzyme functions. However, DL-Phenylalanine as discussed below is the exception. DL-Phenylalanine inhibits the breakdown of endorphin and enkephalin limiting enzymes.
