A DRAGON'S SPARK
The king of the antioxidants and the powerhouse of power lifters. Produced in small amounts in the liver and necessary for every single cell in the body to function properly. It's so mighty it can cross the blood-brain barrier (most things can't get past the brain's natural defenses) to help remove toxins and repair cells. It's critical for maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing damaged tissues in the body, and regulating metabolism (it's even been shown to improve male fertility)
What happens if you stress the body? You need to increase your glutathione levels to combat the problem. The bigger the stress, the bigger the need. Eventually, your poor little liver just can't keep up - especially if you have problems like liver disease, PCOS, dementia, asthma or COPD, or auto-immune disorders. We lose the ability to produce our own supply of glutathione as we age too. IV glutathione treatments restore and boost those natural mechanisms to get you back on your feet and going strong. Many people with chronic illnesses report that symptoms are better controlled with regular infusions. Unfortunately, studies have shown that glutathione cannot make it through the digestive system - making it one of a handful of ingredients we use that has no benefit when taken orally.

ALA helps protect our cells and DNA from free radical damage through several different mechanisms. It's sometimes called the universal antioxidant because, in addition to it's own activity and benefits, it boosts the effect and regenerates the activity of other antioxidants like glutathione and vitamin C.Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in all our bodies and in smaller amounts in food like red meat, beets, carrots, potatoes, spinach, and broccoli. It's a potent anti-oxidant and well known for reducing oxidative stress (those pesky free radicals you hear about). It's a great iron-chelating (removing) agent and is being studied for it's potential to improve symptoms associated with HIV/AIDS, liver disease, and even weight loss.

ALA is VERY well studied and frequently recommended for chronic pain sufferers, especially those who also have diabetes and/or diabetic neuropathy. The oral supplements are helpful for many people, are widely available, and are relatively inexpensive. However, it's not the most stable in the stomach and we can generally only absorb about 30% of the total oral dose. IV ALA is a powerful option that's been shown to help reach peak concentrations in the body and to hang out longer in the blood stream. It's a great option for those who need a bigger boost (Hello fellow RA folks!) or who's tummy doesn't digest well (IBS, Crohn's/colitis). ALA can be given on it's own or in combination with many of our other blends.

Yes, IV Therapy is generally safe when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. Our clinic adheres to strict safety protocols and uses high-quality, sterile equipment to ensure patient safetyMMMmm Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is an essential vitamin - meaning our bodies cannot produce it on their own, we have to get all of what we need through diet and/or supplements. We need vitamin C to help make and repair blood vessels, cartilage, and muscles. It's also critical for good wound healing and collagen function. There's also a reason it's a common treatment for cold/flu symptoms - it's a great immune system booster and has anti-viral properties (helps your body fight them off). It's so good at helping bodies heal at the most basic cellular level that it's even shown anti-aging effects. Who knew oranges were such a super food! How much do you need? That depends on a bunch of factors
You can get vitamin C through the foods you eat/drink and as an oral or IV supplement. The oral versions have a tough time making it through the digestive tract so are only partially absorbed (TBH, so are most of the vitamins we use). The body's ability to absorb vitamin C through the gut is almost completely dependent on gut health (a subject for another day, but a running theme with IV nutritional therapy). Things like smoking, drinking alcohol, underlying chronic illnesses, and active infections can all reduce the poor intestines' ability to function and there is a limit to what it can handle, no matter how much oral vitamin C you take. Push the dose too far and you're likely to end up with abdominal cramps and diarrhea and no one needs that! IV infusions of vitamin C can be safely given at doses up to 100gm for most people (typical oral supplement doses are 1gm). IV doses are felt to be 100% available to the body and ready to go as soon as it hits the system so it works faster and lasts longer.
There are a few categories of people who should NOT receive high doses of IV vitamin C - folks with a G6Pd deficiency in particular. Folks with significant kidney disease/kidney failure or kidney stones are likely. While there are studies showing promising results, IV vitamin C therapy is not currently recommended for folks on chemotherapy.

When taken orally, vitamin C passes through the digestive tract and is only partially absorbed. Many factors can inhibit the absorption of vitamins in the gut including stress, smoking, alcohol, medications, leaky gut, inflammation, and infection. Also, oral dosing can lead to GI side effects such as abdominal cramping and diarrhea. When given through IV Vitamin therapy, vitamin C is 100 percent absorbed into the blood stream and can be given in doses 30-70x that of oral dosing. Therefore, a response can be much more therapeutic in achieving results related to disease prevention and treatment.In addition, Vitamin C is processed by the body in different ways when given oral vs IV. Oral doses act more like an antioxidant protecting cells from damage from reactive oxygenated compounds. IV vitamin C not only provides a higher level of antioxidant protection, but can also produce hydrogen peroxide at higher doses which can attack infections and cancer cells. Also, it is important to know that the FDA does not regulate oral over the counter vitamins. This can often times lead to questions in quality. In contrast to oral Vitamin C, IV vitamins come directly from a pharmacy that has strict regulations ensuring accurate potency and quality. IV vitamins require a prescription from a physician.

An IV Therapy session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of infusion and the indivi Vitamin D is one of the most versatile of all the vitamins. It's a fat-soluble vitamin (meaning it's stored in the fat cells of our bodies). This is important as it means vitamin D stays in the body longer than water-soluble vitamins (like the B's). It's involved with a wide variety of activities in the body. Vital to not only bone health, but breast health (women AND men), muscle movement, nerve connections to the brain, and immune system function. Studies suggest vitamin D also may help protect us from infections (including COVID) and major diseases like cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, diabetes, and dementia. While it is possible to have too much vitamin D, the NIH estimates more than 40% of Americans have insufficient (not terrible, not good) or deficient (not really detectable) levels of vitamin D. There are blood tests available to give you an idea of your starting point.
How do you get vitamin D? Vitamin D rich foods include egg yolks, oily fish (like salmon, tuna, and sardines), mushrooms, and enriched foods like many cereals and milk (but does it really do all bodies good?). Sunshine also helps your skin convert it's own vitamin D. You need to spend about 30 minutes PER DAY in the sun, without sunscreen, for that to be enough. That's not always practical though. Some of us burn like lobsters or have a history of skin cancer, so sunscreen is a must. Vegetarian diets and lactose issues can make it super hard to eat enough to maintain appropriate levels. There are high dose oral supplements that work well, but may need to be taken long term. Most of those are also prescription only. More and more research is being done on injectable vitamin D. Studies out of Europe are showing people maintain their levels longer with the injectable form.
