We have some exciting news!! IV THERAPIES!!
Did you know that Mint Health now offers IV therapies! What better way to replenish your depleted nutrients and strengthen your body than to bypass your gut and go straight to the blood stream!?
Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or immune system imbalances whether autoimmune, recurrent infections or food intolerances? Or maybe you are battling impaired detox and your body continuously struggles to keep up with the toxic bombardment of the 21st century? Many of us have bodies that are screaming for help!
IV Nutritional therapies are very safe and can be very helpful. Due to digestive limitations, we literally cannot come close to receiving the same benefits from taking vitamins orally to what we can get in an IV. Since the nutrients naturally found in fresh foods are significantly down from fresh foods 100 years ago, micronutrient deficiencies are becoming more of the norm than not. Plus all of the gastrointestinal issues people now suffer with compound our ability to absorb nutrients from foods naturally and even to absorb high quality oral supplements. So sometimes when you are really down in a hole with your health, doing IV vitamin therapies can be a really good way to boost things.
Our body’s need for adequate and sometimes robust levels of vitamins and minerals is not to just run faster or have bonus energy in a day. Nor is it to just jump on the “anti-aging bus.” These powerful little items are essential for immune function, for detox, for squelching inflammation, and for making energy
.
The IV therapies we will offer at Mint Health are Glutathione, Vitamin C (Low & High Dose Vitamin C), and select Vitamins and Minerals like Magnesium & B complex.
**Vitamin C** (Often included with Vitamins and Minerals, but can be given in high doses) Price Varies depending on dose
There is a great deal of medical research to support the use of IV Vitamin C therapy for immune support, antioxidant needs, and detox. It is one of the best antiviral agents available; and it has the ability to neutralize and eliminate a wide range of toxins, thereby helping relieve stress on the body. Vitamin C enhances the body’s ability to resist infection and greatly augments the immune system’s ability to neutralize bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. There are many more reasons to consider IV Vitamin C in your treatment plan including aiding in healing, quicker recovery from injury, and improving fatigue. Check out this exciting article on some of the ways IV Vitamin C is being used in some hospitals for supporting patients with COVID-19.
**Vitamins and Minerals ** $125-$150 per treatment
Getting a boost of B vitamins and Magnesium can help with any number of health conditions including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or muscle pain, asthma, mental health, migraines, cardiovascular health, seasonal allergies and immune support.
**Glutathione** $75 per treatment
Glutathione is our body’s superhero detoxing enzyme and is also very impactful in helping modulate the immune system. We can do lab testing to see if you have increased needs for this amazing antioxidant therapy, but we know this enzyme depletes as we age and also depletes from being chronically overused due to our toxic world. We particularly think of using glutathione therapy for people with food intolerances, immune weakness, neurologic conditions (migraines, MS, Parkinson’s, and Dementia), chemical sensitivities, poor liver function, and known toxicity issues. Oh, and not to forget, this is also a very popular therapy if you have overindulged in alcohol (not to encourage any bad habits 😉).
NOW MORE THAN EVER is the time to stay (or get) healthy! This virus is probably going to be around for a while. The healthier your body is, the less likely you are to get very sick! We are happy to do consults with ANYONE to risk assess and go over action steps that may be taken to reduce your chances and how to make sure you are incorporating what you can to give your body the best chance at staying healthy and strong!

We have already started telehealth video/phone visits this week! Here are the sweet words of one patient just this week:
“I am so grateful for everything that you discovered and discussed with me yesterday! I understand that it will not be magic but will make me healthier and I am very glad to this fact! I VERY much appreciate everything that you have already done for me and I will follow all of your directions that you gave me! My very, very sincere thank you!”
