Magnesium IV Drip

IV Therapy is fast growing in popularity as it’s capable of delivering higher levels of many minerals and vitamins compared to oral consumption where the nutrients are broken down in the stomach before they can get to work. Magnesium sulphate taken orally in high doses can also cause serious side effects and this is where IV therapy steps in.

At IV Boost UK, we have found that magnesium plays an important role in maintaining normal energy production and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium IV Drip therapy has also been found to be effective in maintaining a healthy, functioning nervous system.

Magnesium can be given intravenously as a standalone treatment, but is often given as part of the Myers Cocktail as patients are often found to be deficient in more than one nutrient. For cardiac patients, the Myers’ Cocktail is further amended by removing calcium.

At IV Boost UK, every effort is made to ensure you receive a bespoke IV treatment plan. This involves assessment by an appropriately trained IV specialist who will establish any potential nutrient deficiencies before producing your tailored treatment plan.

The Benefits Of Getting A Magnesium Drip

Receiving an IV magnesium drip, also known as IV magnesium therapy, can offer various benefits. Some of the potential advantages include:

• Maintains normal energy production
• Helps regulate blood pressure levels.
• Reduces tiredness and fatigue
• Maintains a healthy, functioning nervous system
• Helps with muscle relaxation and reduces cramps.
• Supports a healthy cardiovascular system.

Oral Supplement Vs. IV Drip

When taken orally, magnesium can have certain side effects, especially if taken in high doses. These side effects may include diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal cramping. This is because the gastrointestinal tract can only absorb a limited amount of magnesium at a time, and an excess of magnesium can lead to these side effects.

On the other hand, magnesium infusion bypasses the gastrointestinal tract entirely, allowing for a more controlled and direct delivery of the mineral into the bloodstream. This method is often used in medical settings to rapidly correct magnesium deficiencies or to manage certain conditions, such as preeclampsia. 

Magnesium IV replacement allows for the regulation of the dosage and rate of infusion, minimising the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
