What Is In My Drip Blend?

WHAT’S IN THE BAG?

• An IV fluid blend base of normal saline and its vital electrolytes

• Your choice of added vitamins or medication listed below in detail

WHAT IS NORMAL SALINE?

Normal saline is sodium chloride in sterile water. We use 0.9% sodium chloride in our blends. This isotonic base contains vital electrolytes which balance cells within the body. Isotonic solutions are similar to the volume of particles within the blood - allowing for the most natural fluid balance inside and outside of each cell. Allowing your body to rehydrate via IV fluids provides maximum absorption directly to the bloodstream to ward off signs of dehydration which make you feel under the weather.

VITAMIN ADD-ONS

Vitamin B-complex:

• B vitamins are essential in brain function, cell metabolism, and energy levels.

• B vitamins promote and support hormone production, appetite, muscle tone, digestion, eye sight, heart health, nerve function, cell health, neutralizing free radicals (which cause aging), aid in transport of oxygen through the body, and the breakdown of fats.

• Individuals who have recently had a large consumption of alcohol, have the stomach flu, food poisoning (with vomiting), and chronic GI conditions such as Crohn’s, IBS, Celiac Disease, Ulcerative Colitis are often not absorbing the proper amounts of B vitamins and could benefit from supplementation.

Vitamin B12:

• Vitamin B12 is famous for its energy level support. This vitamin supports red blood cell formation, mood, and bone health to name a few benefits.

• We can see improved memory and prevention of heart disease with proper levels of B12.

Vitamin C:

• Vitamin D is naturally and easily absorbed from the sun. In darker, colder months of winter, we often lack this vitamin support and are more susceptible to illness and seasonal depression.

Glutathione:

• It helps create energy, improve muscle movement/health, regulate the nervous system, create and repair DNA and RNA.

• Magnesium is shown to improve athletic performance through movement of blood sugar (energy) into the cells and removal of lactate (the byproduct, or waste, of energy use).

• This mineral impacts our mood, muscle health, promoting quality sleep, reducing anxiety.

• Magnesium is a proven aid in migraine treatment.

• Magnesium is a vital electrolyte in maintaining heart health.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine):

MEDICATION ADD-ONS

Benadryl:

• Benadryl, also called, diphenhydramine, is an anti-histamine medication.

• It reduces histamines (a chemical our immune system releases) floating around the body causing runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, cough, throat irritation, sneezing, and wheezing.

• Antihistamine medications reduce the body’s immune response to rid of these symptoms and improve seasonal allergies, allergic reactions, and reduce cold/flu symptoms.

Pepcid:
