5 Ways Infusion Vitamin Therapy Can Help You

Infusion vitamin therapy is more than just a health trend — it’s a powerful way to deliver nutrients directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption. Because infusion therapy skips your digestive system, your body can get the nutrients it needs most fast.

At Aletheia Integrative, Jaime Dodge, MD, uses intravenous (IV) infusion therapy to address a variety of issues from jet lag to hangovers to seasonal flu, right here in the comfort of our Lincoln, Nebraska, office.

Below, Dr. Dodge shares five ways infusion vitamin therapy can help you and what you can expect from the process.

1. Infusion therapy boosts your energy levels

Fatigue and low energy are often signs of nutrient deficiencies. If you’re low on vitamins like B12 or minerals like magnesium, Dr. Dodge may recommend an infusion to restore your energy levels and combat your fatigue.

When your energy levels return to normal, you can feel like yourself again, power through your to-do list, and still feel good at the end of the day.

2. Infusion therapy can support your immune system

Seasonal threats, including the common cold and the seasonal flu, can leave you feeling beat up. Infusion therapy can help you recover from seasonal threats by bolstering your immune system.

High doses of immune-boosting nutrients like vitamin C and zinc can help your body fight off illness. That’s not all. People battling illnesses are at a higher risk of dehydration, but infusion therapy can also help by providing necessary fluids. 

3. Infusion therapy can help you bounce back from travel, workouts, and parties 

Whether you’re recovering from a strenuous workout, international travel, or a night out, infusion therapy replenishes lost fluids and electrolytes. 

To put it another way, infusion therapy can help you bounce back even faster.

4. Infusion therapy can help you manage headaches

If you have chronic headaches — defined as 15 or more headache days per month — you know just how miserable they can be. While there are many triggers for migraine, ranging from dietary triggers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) to environmental triggers like fluorescent lights, nutritional deficiencies can also wreak havoc.

Magnesium and vitamin B2 deficiencies, for example,  are both linked to migraine intensity and frequency. Vitamin B2 is so important for migraine control that you can even reduce the duration, intensity, and frequency of migraine attacks when you take it prophylactically. 

When you come to Aletheia Integrative for help with headaches, Dr. Dodge recommends the right vitamin infusion based on your unique nutrient deficiencies and the symptoms you have.

5. Infusion therapy can help with inflammation

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to illness or injury, but problems develop when your inflammation becomes chronic. Chronic inflammation can lead to a host of problems from organ damage, joint pain, skin problems, sleep issues like insomnia and chronic fatigue, and even acid reflux.

There isn’t one single part of your body that inflammation can’t touch, and that’s why controlling chronic inflammation is so important. Thankfully, infusion vitamin therapy can help you do just that.

Infusion vitamin therapy helps fight inflammation because it delivers anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as vitamin C, magnesium, and glutathione, directly into your bloodstream. These nutrients work to reduce oxidative stress, calm your immune response, and promote cellular repair. 

Bonus tip: reach your goals with IV vitamin therapy 

As a primary care provider, Dr. Dodge can incorporate infusion vitamin therapy into your regular wellness routine to help you manage chronic conditions and meet your health goals.

What to expect from infusion vitamin therapy

Each infusion vitamin therapy session is 100% customized based on your health history, physical exam, and wellness goals. We can also test your nutrient levels through our lab.

Dr. Dodge prepares your infusion by combining saline (salt water) with the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that you need.

Your infusion is delivered into your bloodstream via a catheter. It takes anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for your infusion to complete. During this time, you can sit back, nap, read, or watch a show on your phone.
