What is Parenteral Nutrient Therapy or “IV Drip”?
Parenteral administration of Vitamins and nutrients is the delivery of these compounds to the body via routes other than the gastrointestinal tract. Nutrients are delivered via injections intravenously, Intramuscularly, or injected into fat under the skin. The benefit of bypassing the gastrointestinal system is that the nutrients are delivered in a highly concentrated dose straight into the bloodstream without being degraded by the acid and other enzymes in your stomach. This ensures a higher concentration in the bloodstream and better, more efficient delivery to end organs.
