IV Hydration and Vitamin Infusion Q & A

What causes dehydration?

Dehydration develops in a few ways. Perhaps you’re not consuming enough fluids. It’s also possible that your body is excreting more fluids than normal due to sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, or urination. Sometimes both scenarios can occur.

Athletic activity and chronic medical illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes frequently lead to dehydration that’s severe enough to benefit from IV hydration therapy. Many patients going through alcohol withdrawal or suffering the side effects of chemotherapy also become severely dehydrated.

What happens to my body when I’m dehydrated?

Dehydration affects your body temperature and many other body systems, such as:

Cardiovascular health

Total blood volume, blood pressure, and heart rate are determined by fluid intake and output. When your body is dehydrated, blood volume drops and your heart works harder to circulate enough blood.

Muscle performance

It only takes a 2% drop in body weight due to sweating to reduce endurance and increase fatigue. By comparison, athletes can easily lose 6-10% of their total body weight from fluid loss during intense activities.

Cognitive performance

Mild dehydration can interfere with your ability to concentrate, while mild to moderate levels can affect short-term memory and psychomotor skills.

Ongoing or severe dehydration depletes your energy and increases your risk of serious health complications such as heat stroke, kidney problems, and electrolyte imbalances.

What are the benefits of IV hydration therapy and vitamin infusion?

When you become dehydrated, you may not be able to restore enough fluids orally. Even if you eventually become well hydrated by consuming hydrating beverages, it’s a slow process.

Your rehydration is limited by the amount and speed with which you can comfortably drink beverages. More importantly, the rate of rehydration is affected by gastric emptying and your gastrointestinal health.

IV for dehydration efficiently overcomes these issues by bypassing your gastrointestinal tract and introducing a vitamin-infused, saline solution directly into your bloodstream. As a result, your body rapidly rebalances its total fluids, restoring your energy and well-being.

IV infusions are also an exceptional option for replacing nutrients rapidly and safely into your body. When consumed orally, most vitamins and minerals are not fully absorbed through your gastrointestinal tract.

An enzyme deficiency, inflammatory bowel disease, and low stomach acid are just a few of the possible health problems that inhibit nutrient absorption. Additionally, your small intestine can absorb only a limited amount of some nutrients.

By delivering vitamins and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream, your body quickly receives 100% of a therapeutic dose.

When you get an IV infusion at Palo Alto Mind Body, your overall health is considered. Whether you are deficient in electrolytes or vitamins, the providers at Palo Alto Mind Body, will customize your infusion to your particular needs and provide the right balance to restore your optimal state. The specialists also offer a hangover IV to help you recover quickly after a night of a few too many adult cocktails.
