What is IV Magnesium Vitamin Therapy?
At IV League Injections Clinic, we provide IV Magnesium therapy to increase magnesium levels in the body safely. The use of IV magnesium has been documented in the treatment of migraine headaches, asthma, eclampsia, preeclampsia, muscle spasms, anxiety, and other conditions that magnesium may or may not be depleted in.
Our Vancouver office offers magnesium IV vitamin therapy to patients throughout the Vancouver and surrounding area in the comfort of one of our office locations.
What does magnesium do for the body?
Maintaining proper magnesium levels is important for overall good health since it is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of several parts of the body and an important component of over 300 enzyme systems (like protein synthesis, blood pressure regulation, and nerve function). As a result of its ability to transport calcium and potassium ions across cells, magnesium plays a crucial role in maintaining a steady, normal heartbeat.
Magnesium is found in what foods?
There are many different types of foods that contain magnesium. Magnesium is generally found in leafy green vegetables, whole grains, and foods high in dietary fiber. Sadly, most people don't consume the good types of food that their bodies need to function at their peak levels of magnesium.
Magnesium and Postpartum Depression
Magnesium is believed to help with postpartum depression by regulating the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine in the brain, which are thought to play a role in the development of depression. Additionally, magnesium is involved in the regulation of the stress response and has been shown to have a calming effect on the body and mind, which may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Magnesium IV Vitamin Therapy benefits
It is possible to fill the gaps of magnesium deficiencies in the body through intravenous drips. During IV drips patients may experience a "warm" and relaxed sensation. IV magnesium therapy has been reported by our patients as feeling relaxed, destressed, and sleeping better at night after receiving the treatment. Magnesium is also used by athletes to speed up recovery and reduce muscle fatigue. It is beneficial for athletes and body builders to replenish their magnesium stores to improve muscle gains. It is common for patients to add IV magnesium to other IV therapies such as a Myers cocktail or glutathione.
Magnesium intravenous replacement offers several advantages over magnesium consumed orally through food or supplements. With IV magnesium therapy, patients can receive high doses of magnesium all at once without having to eat large quantities of food or keep track of their intake.
What are the benefits of IV magnesium therapy?
You will definitely enjoy IV vitamin therapy if you have trouble swallowing pills or if pills give you nausea or upset stomach and suffer from certain deficiencies. Additionally, some patients have difficulty absorbing magnesium or have decreased magnesium retention. Patients who receive IV Magnesium pushes or drips generally report little to no discomfort and a relaxing feeling after receiving the injection. Most patients use their IV vitamin therapy sessions to make phone calls, work on a laptop or tablet, or simply relax with a good book while they are fully awake and aware.
Magnesium IV therapy side effects
IV magnesium therapy is generally well tolerated by patients, but there have been a few reports of rare side effects. Side effects have included skin irritations and flushing sensations due to the rapid intake of magnesium during an IV injection. Depending on how magnesium is administered, patients may experience a warming sensation throughout the body, which some people enjoy and others dislike.
Oral vs. IV magnesium administration
Magnesium taken intravenously remains more potent and undiluted than magnesium taken orally. Vitamins and minerals that are consumed orally are broken down by the digestive system, particularly the stomach and liver, and are only absorbed in small amounts by the body. For faster and stronger results, IV magnesium therapy injects magnesium directly into the bloodstream.
Magnesium deficiency causes
The magnesium levels in your body need to be replenished when they fall below normal. From alcohol abuse to diarrhea to Chron's disease, stress, caffeinated beverage consumption, calcium supplements, illness, poor diet, cancer, and more, magnesium levels in the body may become depleted for a variety of reasons.
Education on Magnesium Therapy in Chronic Conditions
There are a variety of conditions in which IV magnesium therapy may be prescribed, including healthy blood flow, heart conditions, heart conditions affecting the blood stream, Lyme disease, ADHD, asthma, migraine headaches, chronic muscle cramps, and even restless legs syndrome.The ability of magnesium to help rebuild bone loss due to aging and/or osteoporosis also makes it a popular supplement for men and women of mature age.
