Performance IV drip therapy, also known as performance infusion or athletic drip, is a specialized intravenous therapy designed to support athletic performance, enhance recovery, and optimize overall well-being. This therapy involves the intravenous administration of a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It aims to replenish essential nutrients quickly and efficiently, bypassing the digestive system for direct absorption.
The specific formulation of the performance infusion can vary depending on individual needs as determined by our wellness providers. However, it typically includes a combination of the following key ingredients:
​
-
Fluids: The IV drip typically includes a balanced electrolyte solution, similar to those used in hydration therapy, to replenish fluids and maintain proper hydration levels. Proper hydration is vital for overall performance and recovery.
-
Vitamins: Performance IV drips often contain a combination of essential vitamins, including B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), vitamin C, and vitamin D. These vitamins play a crucial role in energy production, immune function, tissue repair, and overall health.
-
Minerals: Essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium are often included in performance IV drips. These minerals are necessary for muscle function, nerve signaling, energy production, and maintaining electrolyte balance.
-
Amino Acids: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play a vital role in muscle repair, growth, and recovery. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine, and valine are commonly included in performance IV drips to support muscle protein synthesis and reduce exercise-induced muscle damage.
-
Antioxidants: Performance IV drips may contain antioxidants like glutathione and vitamin C to help combat oxidative stress caused by intense physical activity. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, potentially improving recovery and overall performance.
-
Adaptogens: Some performance IV drips incorporate adaptogenic herbs such as ginseng, rhodiola, and ashwagandha. These herbs are believed to help the body adapt to physical and mental stress, potentially enhancing performance, focus, and recovery.
-
Additional Additives: Depending on individual needs, performance IV drips can include other additives such as amino acids like arginine and citrulline for improved blood flow, coenzyme Q10 for cellular energy production, or carnitine for fat metabolism.
The specific components and concentrations in performance IV drip therapy can vary depending on individual needs. Athletes and active individuals may seek performance IV drips to support hydration, optimize nutrient levels, accelerate recovery, and enhance overall performance. However, it's important to note that individual responses may vary.
