IV nutrient therapy helps athletes to:
Boost performance and increase strength
Reduce fatigue and shorten recovery time
Which types of intravenous nutrient therapy are best for enhancing athletic performance? Strictly speaking, although we usually use the term, “IV vitamin therapy,” the treatments we prescribe include not only vitamins, but also minerals and other nutrients – such as amino acids and other vitally important organic molecules. The intravenous nutrient therapies we find most helpful for athletic performance enhancement include:
Myers’ ****tail
IV Glutathione
The use of intravenous glutathione for this purpose is based on recent studies showing that administering IV N-acetylcysteine – which is a precursor to glutathione – both increases stamina and delays fatigue during strenuous, prolonged exercise in endurance-trained individuals. The logical conclusion is that by giving IV glutathione, we should be able to get a better and more direct result.

This is the main reason why it is prohibited to use the IV unless the patient is hospitalized or in a critical condition.

5 Ways Athletes Can Benefit from IV Therapy
August 17, 2017
1. Hydration
Hydrations is key for any athlete’s success; it’s important to hydrate before, during and after exercise, races or any other athletic competition. Although the effects of IV hydration and oral hydration are similar, IV hydration can speed up the recovery process and possibly help you gain an added edge in your training and competition programs. Hydration is an important component of recovery for athletes. It not only replenishes the body of fluids lost during activity, it also speeds up muscle recovery time and allows a quicker turn-around for athletes.
2. Shorten time for muscle recovery
The faster an athlete can rehydrate, the better. Dehydration causes muscle recovery delay and can lead to severe cramping, weakness and heightened heartbeat – all of which affect athletic performance. Extended or chronic dehydration could lead to more severe issues such as poor kidney function and muscle damage. IV therapy is beneficial not only for rehydration, but for the supplements that can be included with an infusion. Additives used to speed up muscle recovery in infusion include:
Dextrose: replaces glycogen stores that muscles need for fuel and helps with rebuilding proteins
Amino acids: serve as the building blocks to strengthen muscles
Magnesium: helps reduce muscle cramping
3. Absorption of nutrients
One of the many benefits of IV therapy is the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body. When taking oral supplements, only 40-50 percent of nutrients are absorbed; when given intravenously, 100 percent of nutrients are absorbed by the body. Replenishing your body with fluids and nutrients is important for recovery as blood flow to the stomach is delayed during hard workouts or competition. This delay in blood flow disrupts the absorption of vital nutrients, making it difficult for the body to recover.
4. Stave off “leaky gut”
Intestinal hyper-permeability (or “leaky gut ” syndrome) is an issue for many athletes, though they may not realize it. Leaky gut can be caused by over-training, toxic food ingestion (foods that are highly processed or contain pesticides), chronic stress or intestinal bacterial imbalance. These factors disrupt the thin lining of the intestines and allow undigested food to leak out and encounter the immune system. Our immune system sees these food substances as foreign particles and tries to remove them. This process of immune stimulation is similar to an allergic reaction and can cause bloating, malabsorption and inflammation throughout the body. Many athletes will take ibuprofen or similar anti-inflamatories hoping to ease the aches and pains caused by this reaction, but these medications further disrupt the lining of the intestines and can worsen the problem. When the gut is inflamed, it cannot absorb vital nutrients such as B-12 and iron, leaving the athlete even more fatigued and depleted.
5. Boost energy levels
IV treatments not only distribute vitamins and nutrients, replenish hydration levels and speed up muscle recovery, they can also deliver an energy boost. This is especially beneficial to long-distance runners or people who exercise early in the morning. Infusions can be scheduled for times that work best for you and in doses that will absorb more quickly depending on what you need. For example, our 15 Minute Vitamin Fix infusion restores hydration, replenishes vitamins and delivers and energy boost – all in 15 minutes.

WHY ARE HYDRATING IV INFUSIONS PERFECT FOR ATHLETES
By Lydia Speck Posted October 2, 2017
In Hydrating IV
Are you dedicated to living a fuller, healthier life?
If so, exercise is likely a staple in your daily routine. Studies show that you’ll live longer, be happier, and of course, be healthier.
But while workouts are fun and challenging, they can leave you feeling woozy and tired. Take this as a sign from your body that it’s time to make some changes.
As an athlete, your body needs fuel in a different way than everyone else. You need more water, carbs, electrolytes, and vitamins than the average person.
One of the best things you can do for yourself is to invest in hydrating, refreshing IV infusions . You’ll get everything you need in a convenient IV form.
Here are some of the best reasons that hydrating IV infusions are perfect for any athlete.
ATHLETES NEED TO STAY HYDRATED
You’ve likely heard that the average person needs to consume at least 8 8-ounce glasses of water per day. But this pervasive myth is a bit disingenuous .
While it’s true that dehydration is a very real danger, especially to athletes, there’s no set solution for how much water you should drink. It all depends on a few different factors like height, weight, and level of activity.
Accordingly, you may not get the proper amount of hydration before, during, or after a workout. Our bodies are mostly water, and when we sweat that water out our body goes into emergency mode.
Think of it like gas in a car. You use water, then you replace water so your body can function optimally.
IV infusions are a great way to get the hydration your body craves without even touching a glass of water.
IV INFUSIONS CAN BOOST YOUR RECOVERY
As an athlete, you want to keep going. To push your body further than ever before, and then to repeat that process the next day.
Unfortunately, mind over matter isn’t always a great option. If you don’t allow yourself the proper rest and recovery, you could do more harm to your body than if you hadn’t exercised at all.
But a hydrating IV is filled with everything you need for a faster and better recovery. No more sitting on the sidelines. Get the recovery you need at a speed you’ll love.
CONVENIENCE YOU’LL LOVE
You’re not only an athlete. You’re a parent, friend, sibling, spouse, employee, or boss, too. You have a busy, full life that demands your attention.
Therefore, you don’t always have time to sit down, eat a full, healthy meal and get your water in every day.
Infusions are the perfect solution for the athlete on the go. Using a mobile app, you can have your custom infusion delivered personally to you for an affordable price.
No planning, scheduling, or calling. Just boot up the app, choose a time that works for you and get the nutrition you need. We’ll come to you!
And while IV infusions draw big results, you won’t have to sit around for hours to reap the benefits. The standard treatment only takes 30-45 minutes!

Athletes are turning to intravenous vitamin therapies in attempt to boost performance

Perched atop the TD Waterhouse Tower, the Clinic for Sports Medicine at the Toronto Athletic Club (TAC) has a commanding view of the city. But the masters of the universe being treated here must be immune to such thrills. They are as consumed by their smart phones as any pack of teens at a bus stop.
“These guys don’t have an hour to waste,” says Marc Bubbs, a naturopathic doctor specializing in sports Medicine. The TAC clinic is just one of the locations where he offers assistance to the city’s elite executive athletes: “Type A, successful business people work hard and play just as hard. They can afford to take their athletic training to the next level, they want quantifiable results. This treatment takes an hour, and they have to be able to work through it. And believe me, they do cost-benefit analysis on everything.”
The treatment in question is an intravenous, supposedly performance-enhancing weekly dose of customized vitamins, minerals, amino acids and carbs, designed to help athletes recover faster in intense training periods, and to ward off illness before a race, when heavy training can deplete the immune system.
(As we are in the middle of the Olympics, it is important to clarify that almost all “intravenous infusions” are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency. But pro athletes are allowed to hook up to the occasional bag of vitamins — there are the executive ironmen on Bubbs' roster along with triathletes and endurance cyclists, who can easily afford $100 per session for what’s supposed to be a competitive edge.)
While intravenous vitamin therapies are used in naturopathic practices and are popular in alternative cancer clinics, their use for athletic pursuits is relatively new, says Bubbs. He has been offering the service for about a year now, and has treated some 60 people.

One of them is Jason Greenlees, who used it to train for his fifth ironman, held last month in Germany. The 42-year-old portfolio manager and vice-president at RBC Dominion Securities keeps just as close an eye on his training numbers as his stocks. “I’m a data junkie,” he says. “I study my data on my workouts longer than my workout itself. I train three weeks hard, one week easy. Hard means 20 hours a week, a six-hour ride one day, a three-hour run the next. Before I started to do the IV treatment, my power numbers (watts burned on the bike, for instance) would go into a funk through the intense periods. The IV makes me recover faster and I can keep putting up higher power numbers consistently. You can see the cold, hard results on paper. And you feel them.”
The fitter you are, the bigger your veins and the faster you can suck down a vitamin bag. It takes Greenlees about 45 minutes, and yes, he does work through the treatment. “Sit and veg? That is not something I normally do,” he says.
Blair Larsen, the personal training director at the Adelaide Club, a sister club to TAC, is new to the IV treatments, and wanted to experience them so he could inform his clients about the treatment. He recounts the story of getting sick before a race, because, he is convinced, his immune system was overtaxed. He found IV vitamins “a great immune boost. It nipped it right in the bud. I’m certain it lessened the severity of the flu.”
To determine what goes into a patient’s bag, Bubbs uses cortisol testing, which costs about $230 a pop. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland to regulate blood sugar and aid in the metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates. It can be elevated with stress and affects the immune system. So Bubbs has his clients spit into a tube at four set times of the day to determine how their bodies’ cortisol levels are presenting. “You want to see where the levels are, and then we determine what supplements, dietary changes are necessary to maximize the body’s efficiency. If you have chronically high cortisol, you will have poor performance.”
A basic IV vitamin bag contains magnesium and amino acids for muscle recovery; carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores; zinc for testosterone function; selenium for thyroid function; vitamin C for the immune system; and of course the B complex, renowned as nature’s energy booster. (In fact, the last time IV therapies were in the news, it was for Dr. Feelgood-style B shots.) Based on the cortisol and patient intake results, Bubbs tailors the ingredients specifically for his client. He will also do further testing of specific vitamin and mineral levels for some clients; this process can run into the $800 zone and is reportedly popular with pro footballers, who need optimum strength and speed.
“The great thing about executives,” says Bubbs of his TAC clientele, “is that they are very compliant. They want to know exactly what to do, and they follow it exactly. They are driven, and they will pay for results.”
Another fan of the IV training protocol is Diane Stibbard, who started it to help with a digestive ailment. (When delivery of nutrients is impaired by digestive malfunction, IV is often used by naturopaths to try to replenish them.) After starting the program, Stibbard noticed how much her recovery time was improved following hard workouts. “My energy levels maintain pace,” she says. A trainer herself, Stibbard does interval lactate threshold workouts “at threshold and above.”
Everyone doesn’t feel a rush from the experience, but Stibbard says she feels “elevated and zapped up. And in terms of training and recovery, I can keep up higher levels of intensity longer.”

Athletes and Benefits of IV Fluid Treatments
by Recovery Hydration Therapy | Mar 29, 2017 | IV Fluid Treatments |

The Effects of Dehydration on an Athlete!
Dehydration can have devastating effects on an athlete . Especially those competing in elite endurance events, such as: marathons, triathlons, obstacle course races, and cross fit competitions.
Dehydration affects performance during the event and contributes to complications following the event.
Dehydration reduces endurance and causes significant changes in the body. Dehydration causes a shift in the body’s normal distribution of fluid. This means that dehydration causes: lower blood volume, decreased blood flow to skin, decreased sweating, poor heat dissipation, higher core temperatures, and increased muscle glycogen use. All of these factors lead to lower cardiac output, fatigue, poor performance, and risk of complications such as heat exhaustion and muscle breakdown.
One major complication of endurance events and dehydration is rhabdomyolysis. When muscles become fatigued, strained, and over worked they leak a substance, myoglobin, into the blood stream.
Myoglobin can block the kidneys’ filtration system and lead to kidney failure. Muscles are more susceptible to injury when a person is dehydrated. Athletes who compete in marathons, triathlons, and extreme weight lifting competition are at an increased risk.
What can Athletes do?
It is extremely important to stay hydrated prior to and after an event. It is often difficult to orally consume the large amount of water needed to stay adequately hydrated. You don’t need just water, but important electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals as well.
Recovery Hydration Therapy can provide you with IV fluid therapy prior to and after an event. An IV is placed and a combination of minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes are infused. The treatment is tailored to the athlete’s specific needs. The treatments often include, Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, Calcium and Magnesium.
Don’t risk complications from dehydration.
IV fluid therapy is available and quickly becoming an essential part of competitive training and recovery!

I can see all the benefits from what your putting out but arent the boxers of today getting a bit precious if it all comes down to this.
I mean if a fighter was hurting abit during training they would just push thru it and not make it an issue.
This day and age if s fighter feels a little lower tgan the day before well surely their must be an issue and will have to treat it with all kinds of medications and treatment.
Idk man.
I just think the science makes a little difference but its more to do with the actual fighter.
