What is Intravenous Nutrition?
Micronutrient injection entails intramuscular or intravenous injection of micronutrients to restore the nutritional needs of the body.
Various preservative-free medications are injected to supplement, restore, and enhance one’s micronutritional status for anti-aging, skin support, energy and stamina, detoxification, and fat metabolism.
Micronutrient injection via intramuscular route is called shots. Micronutrient injection via the intravenous route is called infusion.
Based on the advanced diagnostic anti-aging testing, micronutrient injections are individually tailored in the areas of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, metabolites, enzymes, carbohydrate metabolism, and hormone balancing.

- Patients on blood pressure or diabetes medications may require a downward adjustment of the medicine
How is the treatment done?
After advanced diagnostic antiaging testing, Micronutrient injection, either intramuscular and/or intravenous, can begin.
Micronutrient Injection, Intramuscular
Patient may receive treatment in standing or supine position generally in the buttock area. Treatment can be given once or twice weekly.
Micronutrient Injection, Intravenous
Micronutrient Injection, Intravenous in sitting or supine position in the forearm area. Prior fluid intake and food is required. An intravenous catheter is started, followed by slow drip over a course of half hour to one hour. Treatment can give given once or twice weekly.
When will one see the results?
The results are seen in days, although best results accumulate over sessions. Most patients often find more energy to work and to enjoy life.
How long do the results last?
Combined with proper diet and exercise, results are long lasting with further treatments suggested for maintenance.
How to maintain or enhance my results?
Additional maintenance is required.
Healthy eating and exercise are helpful to enhance results.
Further treatment may be recommended to further results.
What is the recovery like?
There is generally no recovery. Most people return to work and activities immediately.
