Oxidation is a normal process that occurs during respiration. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and anti-oxidants in our body. Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons which are highly dangerous. Anti-oxidants can bind these free radicals and stabilize them. When there are more free radicals present than can be kept in balance by antioxidants, the free radicals can start doing damage to fatty tissue, DNA, and proteins in your body which can lead to chronic health issues over time.
Oxidative stress can be kept in check by increasing the anti-oxidant stores in our body. This can be achieved quickly through our IV Antioxidant drips.
These include glutathione, mitochondrial booster, Myer’s cocktail
How is the treatment performed?
Intravenous (IV) antioxidants involve administering antioxidant substances directly into the bloodstream via an IV drip.
Glutathione- Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell of the body. It plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage, supporting various metabolic processes, and maintaining overall cellular health. The combined action of vitamin c and glutathione provides comprehensive protection against oxidative stress and cellular damage.
Myers’ Cocktail – Myer’s Cocktail is a short intravenous drip lasting 30 minutes after which you can continue with your daily activities. It is a cocktail which contains magnesium, calcium, Vitamin C and B-Vitamins at the right doses.
Mitochondrial booster– A cocktail containing L-Carnitine and N-Acetyl Cysteine in the right dosage. They improve energy production in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of our cells). L-Carnitine also improves muscle mass and is essential for cardiac health. N-Acetyl Cysteine is the precursor to glutathione and also helps in the detoxification processes in the liver.
What health problems can Intravenous anti-oxidants be used for?
1.Preventing Chronic Diseases :
Cancer Prevention: Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals that can damage DNA and lead to cancer.
Cardiovascular Health: Antioxidants protect the cardiovascular system by preventing oxidative damage to blood vessels and reducing LDL cholesterol oxidation, which can lower the risk of heart disease.
2.Supporting Immune System Function: Many antioxidants have anti-inflammatory properties that help manage chronic inflammation.
3.Enhancing Skin Health:
Anti-Aging: Antioxidants protect the skin from oxidative damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants, reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and age spots.
4.Improving Cognitive Function: prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Promoting Metabolic Health: By reducing oxidative stress, antioxidants may support overall metabolic function and aid in weight management.
5.Detoxification
Supporting Liver Health: Antioxidants like glutathione play a key role in detoxifying harmful substances and protecting the liver from damage.
Facilitating Elimination: They help in the process of detoxifying and eliminating toxins from the body.
