At Whole Gut Health we create personalized IV nutrition plans based each patients unique health needs. This method allows for efficient absorption of these nutrients by bypassing the digestive system and delivering them directly into the blood stream which circulates in the body providing nutrition to body cells and organs. IV nutrient therapy is also able to hydrate patients with needed fluids and volume.
