Course Overview

Our bodies require a daily intake of essential vitamins and minerals in order to properly function. If one of these vitamins is deficient, it can result in serious health problems. Many adults lack healthy levels of many essential vitamins due to many factors such a food choices, life style choices including poor working patterns, or night shifts and health related issues creating a lack of absorption.

The human body needs at least 30 vitamins, minerals and amino acids a day to keep it healthy. It is believed that all these nutrients should come from our diet or from supplement tablets however less than half of the required vitamins can be obtained this way. Developed in the 1960’s, the use of IV is an effective method which delivers essential vitamins and minerals straight into the blood stream. IV Nutrition Therapy (IVNT) uses a variety of vitamin “cocktails” to give the body the nutrients it needs.
