Everyone seems to be taking supplements these days, but with so many options, it can be confusing to learn what to take and for what purpose. In addition, supplements are poorly regulated, which makes it hard to find quality brands without the help of a specialist.
Below, we asked our expert at Invigorate Asheville to explain what you should know about vitamins and supplements before rushing to the health aisle in your local supermarket.
If you’re deficient in certain nutrients, you may think your only way to address the problem is by buying a pill or looking up foods that are high in certain nutrients. However, supplements and vitamins come in many forms, and some are easier to absorb than others.
For example, supplements in pill form, depending on how they’re designed, barely get absorbed. Meanwhile, vitamins and supplements that are injected have a very high absorption rate and provide almost immediate effects, as they go straight into the bloodstream.
If you’re concerned about a deficiency or feel depleted, the surest way to get a boost is through IV therapy. This is a service we offer that delivers a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants straight to your bloodstream under the supervision of a specialist.
Supplements are poorly regulated, and as a consequence, they often contain ingredients that are potentially harmful to your health. Our specialists can help you find supplements that are devoid of unnecessary fillers and artificial colors.
Supplements are meant to be a temporary solution. Ideally, you’d get all the nutrients necessary from your diet. Our experts can give you a boost by offering various IV therapies, but the foundation of your health will remain a healthy diet.
What works for you may not work for your partner. For example, hormonal changes in women after menopause raise the risk for calcium and vitamin D deficiencies in women, but this risk does not occur in men.
Our experts offer a number of IV therapies that can give you a quick boost in energy and mental focus, or even cure a bad hangover. Contact us to schedule an appointment and find out what supplements and vitamins can increase your life quality.
