In the quest for optimal health, a strong immune system is our first line of defense against infections and diseases. While a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep are foundational, certain nutrients play crucial roles in supporting and enhancing immune function. Nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc stand out for their importance. Let’s take a look at how these nutrients work, their benefits, and how to ensure you're getting enough of them.

Read moreWhat’s This NAD All About? NAD—Why Is It So Important?
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in our bodies. It is essential to metabolism, the life-sustaining chemical reactions needed to convert energy in food to the energy to run our body’s cells. NAD is also required to turn food into the building blocks of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and some carbohydrates, as well as elimination of wastes. Normal NAD levels are essential to proper functioning of virtually every metabolic activity, and decreases in NAD are associated with aging, fatigue, decreased cognitive function, increased cholesterol, and may have a role in development of certain cancers.
Read moreWhy does Hydrate IV Therapy choose Nationally Registered and Minnesota-licensed paramedics from the Twin Cities to administer their IV infusions?
Training for paramedics typically involves rigorous coursework and clinical practice to ensure they are prepared to handle a variety of emergency situations. This includes 1200-1800 hours of training including basic EMT training, intermediate EMT training and paramedic training. Then they must be certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exam (NREMT) and the National Registry Paramedics cognitive exam. From there our paramedics must acquire Minnesota state licensing and continue to maintain their licensure through 40 hours of continuing education every 2 years which includes Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) recertification.
One essential skill our paramedics possess is the ability to administer intravenous (IV) therapy. IV therapy involves the delivery of fluids and medications directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. This technique is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including dehydration, infections, and other medical emergencies. IV infusion requires careful monitoring to ensure the correct dosage is being delivered and to watch for any adverse reactions. Paramedics are trained to recognize and respond to any changes in a client’s condition during IV infusion, which can help prevent complications.
Paramedics also excel at IV administration because of their extensive experience. They very regularly insert IV catheters quickly and efficiently, even in high-stress situations. They are also skilled at monitoring to quickly recognize and respond to any complications that may arise. These skills make them an invaluable asset in the case of an emergency situation and when providing mobile IV or home IV therapy because they are required to use critical thinking to follow protocols set forth by the medical director continuously.
The original IV therapy service in the Twin Cities, when you think of IV therapy in Minnesota think Hydrate IV Therapy.

Needing a Boost? How IV Therapy Fights Summer Fatigue

As we all head outside, making sure you’re hydrated is extremely important. Even if you’re relaxing by the pool, the increase in temperature and sun exposure increases your body’s need for fluids! Without proper fluid intake, the effects of the sun can lead to what we like to call summer fatigue.
At Hydrate IV Therapy, we offer a variety of vitamin and mineral infusions to hydrate and reinvigorate your body, preventing energy withdrawals and dehydration.
We designed the Fatigue Fighter with long days in mind. IV infusion therapy hydratesmore efficiently than oral consumption, but still offers a combination of vitamins, fluids, and electrolytes.

6 Amazing Health Benefits of IV Therapy
IV therapy is an innovative way of hydrating and infusing supplements into your body. It has risen in popularity because of its effectiveness. This procedure injects sterile IV solution, vitamins, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This way, they can reach your organs more quickly.
Nutrients are better absorbed by your body too. When taken orally, food and medications pass through the digestive system, and many factors reduce the absorption rate of nutrients. However, infusing supplements directly into your veins can lead to 100% absorption. Additionally, doing so can help avoid upset stomachs for people who are sensitive to specific vitamins.
The benefits of IV therapy for your health and wellness are plenty, depending on the blend of vitamins, electrolytes, and antioxidants in your IV drip. Here are some ways it can help improve your physical and mental wellness.
Rehydrates the Body
IV drips mostly contain water, a significant blood component that fuels your brain and other organs to function. If you are dehydrated, your bodily systems will have difficulties performing their tasks. This can lead to feelings of weakness, headaches, and dizziness.
Jet lags and hangovers tend to cause mild to severe dehydration. Rehydrating with an IV infusion can quickly help ease discomfort in these situations.
Aids in Enhancing Immunity
Some IV treatments are infused with Vitamin C and Zinc that can help boost the performance of your immune system. A shot of these assists in strengthening the body's defense against the common cold and flu.
Compensates for Vitamin Deficiency
Individuals who follow plant-based diets or have celiac disease are at an increased risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency. A vitamin IV therapy can help them replenish this vitamin.
Helps Boost Workout Recovery
IV infusions designed for athletes and other fitness enthusiasts are packed with amino acids, electrolytes, and antioxidants. These nutrients can help improve endurance and reduce recovery time during an intense workout. Also, they aid in maintaining healthy muscles and tissues. Additionally, IV drips can provide fast and adequate hydration during exasperating physical activities.
Can Aid in Bringing Out More Youthful and Radiant Skin
An effective way to infuse your body with age-defying skincare supplements is through IV therapy. Beauty drip bags usually contain antioxidants such as glutathione that flushes out wrinkle and blemish-causing toxins from your body. If you mix that with certain vitamins and water, your skin can be kept nourished, refreshed, and glowing.
Can Help Assist in Symptoms Related to Certain Mental Health Issues
Addiction and depression can happen to anybody. Sadly, they can damage your prospects in life and your relationships with loved ones. NAD+ is an amazing coenzyme that can help improve cognitive function, calm the mind, and detoxify the body from drug substances.
There are many IV hydration therapy benefits depending on your needs. If you are looking for a reliable vitamin IV therapy clinic around Minneapolis, MN, contact us at Hydrate IV Therapy.
