Summer fun and travel are two of my favorite things. Watching baseball, watching the waves, and exploring new destinations make my heart happy. But when my brain and body are tired and a little too sun-kissed, I call the Wellness Lab to recharge. What can an IV boost do for you while making summer memories?
A common element of IVs: vitamin B12, is an excellent supplement for managing both stress and travel fatigue. The vitamin plays a part in nerve health and neurotransmitter signaling, meaning deficiencies can result in problems with memory and focus. Companies in the United States are even starting to offer shots of the vitamin as part of their corporate wellness packages.
B12 also plays a role in regulating the internal clock and circadian rhythm, making it helpful to treat jet-lag. Every morning the presence of light signals the brain to begin waking up. Vitamin B12 helps to boost the brain’s response to external light and turn off Melatonin (a sleep-inducing hormone) signaling in the brain, helping make the transition from sleep to a more active awake state.
Intravenous (IV) infusion is a way for the body to absorb essential vitamins directly into the bloodstream. This method is often preferred by people who have difficulty absorbing vitamins through food. IV infusion allows the patient to get the full dose of the vitamin, which can be especially important in cases of a vitamin B12 deficiency.
There are several reasons why someone might need IV vitamin B12 therapy, such as Crohn’s disease or gastric surgery. IV vitamin B12 therapy is a safe and effective way to treat a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that is found in meat and dairy products. It helps the body to produce red blood cells and keep the nervous system working properly. Vitamin B12 is also important for pregnant women, as it helps to form the baby’s neural tube. A lack of vitamin B12 can cause several health problems, such as anemia, nerve damage, and even infertility.
Most people are somewhat dehydrated without even realizing it, functioning in a sub-optimal state becomes routine. Combining dehydration (which is exacerbated by pressurized cabin environments during air travel), with the sleep loss from long flights results in fatigue upon arrival. Intravenous fluids are by far the most efficient way to rehydrate
and replenish energy quickly, and when combined with immune system boosting vitamins, they represent a great option for post-travel recovery. Air travel also means exposure to thinner high-altitude atmosphere and greater free radical exposure. A powerful antioxidant like glutathione before and/or after flying can help to neutralize this effect.
