Vitamin and Nutrient Treatments, such as injections and IV therapy, are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to deliver the necessary ingredients directly into the bloodstream. They have many proven benefits, including simply rehydrating you after a night out, weight loss and disease prevention.

The most common type of vitamin injections are b12 injections, which promote elevated energy levels and can also help with weight loss. There are also specific weight loss injections that are b12 injections that include additional lipotropic ingredients to help you to burn fat more quickly, while also providing you with essential vitamins. Weight loss injections help you to lose weight faster but are best when they are combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Nutrient IV therapy helps you be sure that you are absorbing the nutrients you are putting into your body, as opposed to taking supplements orally where a large percent of them pass directly through the digestive track. An IV drip can contain different ingredients depending on what it is being used to treat.

Just like with other medical services, you should be selective in who you see for treatment, even for things as seemingly simple as an IV drip or b12 injections. Currently, there is only one practice with an MD on Maui offering vitamin injections and Nutrient IV therapy, but there are some other alternative practices that offer them as well.

While most medically trained professionals are qualified to put in an IV drip or perform weight loss injections, nutrient IV therapy and b12 injections are not typically covered by insurance, so you want to be sure that you are getting the correct and most effective treatment for your money.

Examples of different IV treatments include:

  •  Multi-Vitamin, Multi-Amino, Multi-Nutrient injection: Methylcobalamin, other fortifying B vitamins,  amino acids arginine and carnitine,  Folic Acid, Methionine, Inositol, Choline, and Chromium for optimal energy, performance, immunity and metabolism.
  • Relaxation Injection: B vitamins and magnesium to help reduce stress, depression, mental fatigue, and anxiety while enhancing memory, focus, and relaxation.
  • Hangover/Detoxifying injection: Methylcobalamin, other B vitamins, amino acids, and glutathione to eliminate toxins from your system while supporting optimal liver function, hormone health, weight management, mood, sleep, and immunity.
  • Weight Loss Injection:  L-carnitine to help your body burn fat for energy, MIC to eliminate fat and toxins from the body, plus the most readily absorbed form of vitamin B12 called methylcobalamin to increase your metabolism and overall energy.
  • Exercise Recovery Injection:  Amino acids such as L-arginine, L-ornithine, and L-citrulline, which help reduce the exercise-induced accumulation of lactate and ammonia.

And there are many others, including the Myers’ cocktail, which is a mixture that has been proven to help cure a broad range of conditions, including Fibromyalgia, when used as treatment consistently over the course of a few months. If you think that you could benefit from IV nutrient therapy or b12 injections, we recommend first researching the different types offered in more detail to be sure that you get the best treatment to give you the results you are looking for.
