VITAMIN INFUSION – Rapha Health

Maintaining the normal levels of vitamins is the goal for the vitamin infusion to make certain that optimal health is attained by enhancing the immune system. Because of exposure to the daily deluge of pollution, not only from the city air but from the foods that people eat, the water that they drink along with the pesticides and other toxins that are so ubiquitous, staying in good health is a massive production, indeed.

The basic elements that one has to have are – beta carotene, vitamin C, Vitamin E, minerals such as selenium, etc. Taking most of these vitamins, minerals and fatty acids orally is impossible to normalize the blood levels because some of these nutrients are not absorbed properly so at Rapha Health, these are given intravenously. In sick people who need to improve their immune system, intravenous infusion is the only way to assure proper blood levels. B vitamins in general and Vitamin B12 in particular must be given by injection because of absorption problems.

Different people have different needs, so supplemental therapy is different for different people. For example, increasing doses of vitamin C is used for people with cancer while only small amounts are used for cardiovascular diseases. Personalizing this therapy is crucial to the betterment of patients.
