Intravenous (IV) infusions of Vitamin C can possibly reverse some of the damage caused by infections. Because it has few side effects, Vitamin C may be a safer option than riskier treatments. enrG-IV, in Orange Beach, offers medium and high dose Vitamin C nutritional therapy in their spa-like IV lounge and functional medicine clinic.

IV nutrition administers vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV drip. Because it bypasses digestion, nutrients are completely absorbed, resulting in faster, longer lasting relief. “You only absorb 20 percent of anything you take in orally, but you absorb 100 percent of what you get by IV. This saturates the cells with nutrition and feeds mitochondria,” says enrG-IV owner and registered nurse Janet Baker.

Vitamin C is antimicrobial, it supports the immune system and as an antioxidant it can help fight inflammation and the damage caused by the body’s disease-fighting process. It is also included in enrG-IV’s anti-aging cocktail because it can build collagen from the inside out and help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Other benefits include more energy, improved microcirculation and stress relief. All of enrG-IV’s cocktails are preservative free and sessions last 20 to 60 minutes.
