IV Vitamin Therapy aims to top up levels of important minerals and vitamins; nutrients such as zinc, selenium and vitamin B6 can maintain your immune system in the face of a serious shock to the system. Vitamins C and A are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. Vitamin C and zinc are also key factors in the production of collagen.
Vitamins and minerals are required by the body for almost every function, whether for normal maintenance or in times of increased need.
Should I be undergoing IV Vitamin Therapy before or after surgery?
If you have recently undergone surgery, particularly if it was emergency surgery, and you find your recovery is not going as smoothly as hoped for, then IV Vitamin Therapy will start delivering valuable nutrients immediately. However, to get the most from this treatment, starting your IV Vitamin Therapy in advance of your surgery, even by just a couple of weeks, can ensure you’re not suffering from a nutrient deficiency that could undermine your recovery.
Which is the best IV Vitamin Therapy for after surgery?
At IV Boost UK, London, we offer a number of different IV Vitamin Therapy treatments that can increase vitamin and mineral levels. Often we will combine treatments to achieve the optimal results:
- High-Dose Intravenous Vitamin C – this vitamin powerhouse works as a highly effective agent to maintain a healthy immune system as well as playing a key role in collagen production.
- Myers’ Cocktail – although we can prescribe vitamin C as a very effective standalone treatment, the powerful combination of minerals and vitamins in the Myers’ Cocktail make it an essential part of any IV Vitamin Therapy treatment programme.
- Glutathione IV – glutathione is a powerful anti-oxidant that can reduce the oxidative stress caused by free radicals released during your surgery.
What’s the next step?
At IV Boost UK, you are first assessed by your specially trained IV specialist. They will take into account your pre- or post-operative health and establish any nutrient deficiencies that should be addressed by your IV treatment, before prescribing you a bespoke treatment plan.
