Eliv8 MD is pleased to be able to offer IV nutrition among our extensive wellness services for patients throughout Colorado. IV nutrition is something that can be used for patients seeking to enjoy high-density supplementation with faster results than they’d get from taking oral vitamins and supplements. IV nutrition treatments involve the injection of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other beneficial compounds directly into the bloodstream. This cuts down the “absorption time” needed with traditional oral supplementation.
The Eliv8 MD team is excited to answer all of your questions about how IV nutrition may help you to enjoy better bioavailability of key nutrients that are needed for living your best, healthiest life. We offer tailored IV nutrition therapy designed by our team for your body’s needs to help you reach your goals for increased energy, faster healing, better physical performance, disease prevention and more!

Why Is IV Nutrition Better Than Oral Vitamins and Supplements?
First, IV nutrition isn’t necessarily “better” than the traditional route of ingesting vitamins and minerals. However, IV nutrition may help you enjoy better absorption to power toward your health goals faster. Oral vitamins and minerals certainly are beneficial for boosting nutrient levels. However, they must pass through your digestive system before being absorbed into your body. We know that vitamins and minerals can lose up to 70 percent of their potency during the digestive process.
IV nutrients are absorbed directly into your bloodstream for 100 percent bioavailability. What this means for you is that you’re getting concentration levels of important nutrients that simply can’t be reached when taking oral supplements. Nutrients are also distributed through the body more efficiently when absorbed directly into the bloodstream. IV nutrition also allows you to feel the benefits of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and more immediately. This can be important when you’re trying to kick your body into “recovery” or “regeneration” mode.
Can IV Nutrition Help You to Lose Weight?
One of the most common questions we receive regarding IV nutrition here at Eliv8 MD in Colorado has to do with how intravenous nutrients can help with weight loss. IV treatments are associated with an increase in the body’s metabolism. The may also be important for helping the body break down fat. People focused on healthy weight loss can also benefit from the fact that IV nutrition helps the body to process vitamins, minerals and nutrients more effectively. While IV nutrition therapy may not be enough to help you reach your fitness goals on its own, it can play a role in getting your body on track for weight loss!
