Intravenous therapy or I.V. therapy is the administration of liquid substances directly into a vein through a needle or tube (catheter) that is inserted into the vein, allowing immediate access to the bloodstream to provide fluids and vitamins without causing damage to the stomach.
INTRAVENOUS THERAPY (I.V.)
INTRAVENOUS THERAPY (I.V.)
Depending on the patient's needs, the following may be used:
Vitamin C
Intravenous vitamin C cannot be compared to taking large doses of pills, and its effects promise to be effective against many diseases, from cancer to COVID-19.
It is essential for the well-being of the body and has many and varied actions.
Daily intake of vitamin C helps to combat stress, anxiety and fatigue.
It improves the body’s immune reactions and is useful in case of allergies.
It is an antioxidant that captures free radicals and fights cell aging. It participates in the elimination of heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the blood.
A vitamin C cure can improve mood and treat depressive episodes.
Supports brain function and is effective against memory loss.
Vitamin C promotes weight loss by controlling blood sugar levels.

The Myers cocktail
This cocktail consists of an intravenous infusion that works by increasing the concentration of several essential vitamins and minerals in the blood beyond what can be achieved with oral supplementation.
Myers’ cocktail applications:
- Improves the immune system
- Reduces fatigue
Indications:
- Seasonal allergies
- Fibromyalgia
- Asthma
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ulcerative colitis

- Pulmonary diseases
Procedure
The treatment is performed with a small catheter inserted into a vein and the infusion is administered very slowly over 45 to 60 minutes.
Side effects are very rare and are almost always limited to local irritation of the vein. The most common sensations are heat and flushing (magnesium effect) and the taste of vitamins in the mouth shortly after the start of the infusion.
Components
L-ascorbic acid sodium salt 7500 mg, magnesium chloride 380.84 mg, calcium chloride 138.68 mg, thiamine HCl, nicotinamide, D-panthenol, pyridoxine HCl 100 mg each, riboflavin-5-phosphate monosodium salt 10 mg, folic acid 5 mg, hydroxocobalamin acetate 1.031 mg, water
Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10
It is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like antioxidant found in all cells of the body. CoQ10 makes mitochondria, the intracellular organelles, function. Mitochondria provide the energy that every cell in the body needs to function.
Unfortunately, the concentration of coenzyme Q10 begins to decrease after the age of 20 and almost disappears by the age of 50. This absence of CoQ10 then favors the appearance of cardiac and muscular problems, as well as increased aging.
CoQ10 acts on several levels:
- Anti-aging
- Relieves migraines
- Increases muscle tone
- Reduces pain in athletes
- Beneficial for people suffering from heart and circulatory problems.
- Improves fertility
Resveratrol
It is a polyphenol present in certain fruits, such as grapes, blackberries and peanuts.
It has, among others, the following benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory,
- Antioxidant,
- Anticancer,
- Extends shelf life,
- Protects the skin from premature aging,
- Reduces cardiovascular risk
- Reduces oxidative stress.
Curcumin
It is the main pigment present in turmeric (Curcuma longa) that gives it its yellow color. Curcumin has both dietary and medicinal applications and its effects on health are very interesting. However, taking turmeric alone is not enough to benefit from its properties, as it is only found in 2-3% of cases.
Therefore, injecting curcumin intravenously is the best solution to benefit more effectively from its beneficial effects. The injection of curcumin allows it to reach the body’s cells directly without passing through the stomach, which destroys it due to its acidity.
Curcumin has several benefits for the body:
- Relieves muscle inflammation
- Lowers blood glucose levels
- Anticancer action
- Promotes weight loss
- Stimulates the brain
