Louisville IV Vitamin Therapy Treatment Center – Downtown

High Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy Louisville Downtown

Vitamin C is an important nutrient in the human body. It works as an antioxidant and is a key ingredient to collagen formation. Humans cannot synthesize their own vitamin C, so must come in the form of nutrition and supplementation. High-dose vitamin C may be taken intravenously.  Recent studies show that a 25-fold increase of vitamin C can be found in blood plasma using IV therapy, over and above what can be tolerated through oral administration. Vitamin C has been found in some studies to be toxic to Cancer Cells but not normal cells (in vitro). It is often used as an integrative therapy approach for certain types of cancers. More than thirty years ago, Linus Pauling et. al. reported beneficial effects of high-dose vitamin C therapy for patients with terminal cancer.

Vitamin C IV Therapy at high-doses is considered safe. It is also relatively inexpensive to administer, making it a popular choice among those seeking its antioxidant benefits, along with potential disease fighting benefits.

Glutathione IV Vitamin Therapy Louisville Downtown

Glutathione plays an important role in the control of free radicals. It is a powerful antioxidant. When toxins enter our bodies, they can load down our system and deplete our natural glutathione levels. Since glutathione is important for immune function and neutralization of free radicals, it is believed that glutathione IV therapy is useful at replenishing the body’s depleted glutathione levels to optimal levels. Bolstering the body’s natural glutathione levels may help the body’s own natural defenses.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) IV Vitamin Therapy – Louisville Downtown

Branched-chain amino acid IV therapy has long been sought out by athletes looking to restore key depleted amino acids due to strenuous exercise. BCAA IV Therapy, which includes valine, leucine and isoleucine are three important amino acids required for protein synthesis in the body. These three amino acids are considered the three amino acids our of a total of nine essential amino acids, which the body cannot synthesize on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Following strenuous conditions such as heavy exercise, BCAAs are oxidized which reduces their availability to feed muscle tissue. It is believed these three (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) play a key role in protein synthesis, leading to improved recovery following athletic performance or exercise.

Most therapies can be scheduled the same day. Call for your appointment.
