IV Therapy VS Drinking Water: Which are Better?

How Do You Choose Between IV Therapy and Drinking Water?

If you drink too much the night before, you will probably be hungover and dehydrated the next day. If you're feeling nauseous, you might find that the best way to combat the symptoms of a hangover is to drink a lot of water.


When you notice symptoms of dehydration like headache, dizziness, muscular cramps, lethargy, and fatigue, you likely reach for some tea or plain water. If you drink electrolyte drinks and oral rehydration salts after exercising hard, you can get relief from muscle cramps. Drinking a lot of water may also help hydrate you. Pure IV Utah's mobile IV therapy is the fastest way to feel better. Our team of professionals can administer mobile IV therapy to treat hangover dehydration.


You can rely on us for fast, convenient relief from headaches, nausea, fatigue, congestion, migraine, and dehydration. Intravenous hydration revitalizes your body and gives you instant energy.

 

Saline solution, electrolytes, vitamins, and supplements are directly infused into the bloodstream through an IV port during IV hydration therapy. This allows your body to absorb nutrients more quickly.

How Does IV Hydration Therapy Work?

By delivering minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant compounds directly to your body, IV therapy boosts your immune system and hydrates you quickly. Fluids, electrolytes, and medications can be delivered quickly to the body through IV therapy.

In Salt Lake City, we have professionals who can hydrate you and boost your immune system. IV therapy can help you feel better, relieve fibromyalgia and pregnancy symptoms, and treat hangovers, migraines, allergies, and high blood pressure. IV therapy is often used as supportive medicine in cancer treatment and radiation therapy, and in sports medicine for athletes preparing for or recovering from physical exertion.

Patients with conditions, diseases, or illnesses may benefit from IV therapy. A member of our IV treatment team is a qualified healthcare provider who can come to your home, office, hotel, or other location according to your convenience. Our mobile IV therapy service is available in Salt Lake City! If you need ongoing long-term or short-term treatment, we can help you decide which IV therapy is right for you. We offer online appointment scheduling.

9 Benefits of IV Hydration Over Water

Sufficient amounts of water are essential to staying healthy and hydrated. Water plays an essential role in overall health, whether it is digestion or temperature regulation. You instinctively drink more water when you're thirsty or dehydrated. However, this is unlikely to be enough. The body takes a long time to absorb water consumed through drinking. You may have difficulty keeping down water if you're feeling nauseous because the digestive system plays a part in that process.

You will benefit from IV hydration therapy by restoring electrolyte balance and releasing nutrients immediately. Other advantages of IV hydration include:

Quick Hydration

Humans can only absorb about 1 liter of water per hour from the gastrointestinal tract, and 500ml of water could take up to 2 hours to absorb fully. It can take up to seven hours to rehydrate if you are dehydrated by three or four liters (which can easily happen when you drink and vomit).


It is likely that your body will feel better after drinking water to quench your thirst, but you may need some minerals to stay properly hydrated. Drinking water hydrates your body by absorbing it into your digestive tract. The process of rehydrating your body may take some time.


On the other hand, IV hydration therapy delivers water and vitamins directly into your bloodstream. Consequently, your body begins to rehydrate almost immediately. You can recover from a hangover with IV hydration therapy by consuming nutrients that rehydrate you and make you feel better.

Electrolytes

Drinking water to prevent dehydration is not enough - electrolytes are also needed. Water should be replaced, as should magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium. IV therapy is your best option for getting electrolytes fast when you are too hungover to drink water or food.


While hydrating, our custom solutions will also contain electrolytes and medications tailored to your symptoms, which will aid in your recovery. You will feel relief quicker if you get these nutrients into your bloodstream.

Beneficial Supplements

When it comes to mobile IV hydration, Pure IV Utah provides more than saline hydration. We can customize your IV infused with vitamins and medications that will relieve headaches and nausea and make you feel better sooner. Vitamins and antibiotics are some of these nutrients, along with anti-inflammatory drugs and antioxidants. Let us know if you're feeling nauseous. Zofran (ondansetron), an anti-emetic, can be added to your IV to provide fast relief. The intravenous administration of these medications eliminates the risk of vomiting. A typical treatment usually eliminates nausea and vomiting within a short period of time, usually within less than an hour.


In addition, we have options available for other symptoms such as migraine headaches, tension headaches, dehydration headaches, congestion, inflammation, and much more.

Bio-Availability

Despite being good for you, water does not contain as many vitamins and minerals as vitamins B, C, magnesium, and zinc. As a result, drinking water may not be enough to alleviate dehydration symptoms. IV hydration, however, packs a powerful punch that can help jumpstart your recovery. When electrolytes and medications are delivered directly to your bloodstream, your body is able to use them more efficiently than if they were taken orally.

Efficacy

For someone mildly dehydrated, one or two glasses of water may suffice. Drinking water all day might not make you feel better if you are ill. Research has shown that IV hydration can alleviate severe dehydration symptoms - Vitamins are absorbed more effectively through the bloodstream than through the digestive system. A mobile IV therapy can help you feel energized and ready to face the day.

Relief From Nausea in a Few Minutes

Even if you drink water, you may feel queasy if you're dehydrated and your stomach is upset. Water in large amounts can also make you feel nauseated, in addition to making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. IV hydration on the other hand is extremely comfortable and easy on the body. The worst part of a hangover is nausea. You are unable to eat anything due to stomachache and discomfort. When you have a hangover, you may vomit even if you haven't drunk enough to cause it.


IV fluids are the best solution to this problem if you find yourself in this position. Intravenously administered fluids bypass your digestive system entirely and do not cause nausea. To reduce nausea and calm your stomach, anti-nausea and anti-heartburn medication can be added to your IV.

Treatment Customized to Relieve Symptoms

Minerals are generally present in both tap water and bottled mineral water. You cannot, however, customize the content of your water to treat an ailment that is specific to you. According to your symptoms, you can choose additional IV hydration regimens. We offer mobile IV therapy sessions to treat dehydration headaches, dehydration migraines, nausea, food poisoning, and allergies.

Advice Tailored to Your Needs

Add-ons can be selected individually, as a package, or your IV nurse may make recommendations based on your symptoms. In the face of a bewildering array of alternatives, having a friendly, knowledgeable person can be helpful, especially if you aren't feeling too clear-headed, to begin with.

Avoid a Visit to the Emergency Room

You can avoid having to visit the emergency room by receiving IV treatment on the go. The benefits of IV hydration are much the same as those of hospital hydration, but in the comfort of your home. A typical appointment takes less than an hour, and the procedure is much faster and less expensive than going to the hospital.
