What is IV Therapy for Weight Loss?
IV therapy for weight loss involves administering vitamins, minerals, or medications directly into your vein. There are no official guidelines for its use in weight loss, and very limited research supports its use.
Intravenous (IV) fluid administration involves administering fluids directly into your bloodstream. These fluids usually contain nutrients or medications. In IV therapy, a liquid solution hangs in a bag around head height. A thin IV tube is connected to it and leads down into a vein, usually in your hand or arm. This allows the solution to go directly into your bloodstream.
Some people claim that IV therapy can help support weight loss. This may include the administration of certain micronutrients or medications.
