Stumped By Supplements? What To Pick For Your Starting Lineup This Winter
Let's face it, there is a lot of stuff out there. As a physician, one of the most frustrating things I experience is over-supplementation. I see a ton of new patients in my office who unnecessarily supplement different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and herbs, sometimes taking up to 15 different things a day!
IV Nutrient Therapy
The Basics. Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is more than just a hangover fad. While it may have garnered recent media attention for its ability to temper the effects of a late night, it has actually been used to help many conditions for over 50 years! IV therapy is a method of administering nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids) directly into the blood stream. Not sold yet? Stick with me. Nutrient depletion is more common than you think. Many of us are not getting enough of our recommended daily nutrients; we eat on the go, we eat fast foods, we skip meals. Coupled with increased demand on our bodies from things like chronic stress, travel, infection or illness, as well as the diminished nutrient status of our soil, our need for nutrient support is essential more than ever. Did you know many of your symptoms can be worse if you're deficient in certain vitamins and minerals?
