Did you know that over half of the global population is significantly deficient in crucial nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin B12? A new study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, UC Santa Barbara (UCSB), and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has brought to light some very concerning statistics.
Leveraging data from the Global Dietary Database, the World Bank, and dietary recall surveys in 31 countries, researchers found that individuals had a serious lack of iodine (68%), vitamin E (67%), calcium (66%), and iron (65%). In addition, over half consumed inadequate levels of riboflavin, folate, vitamin C and vitamin B6.
With this, IV nutrition offers the public the unique opportunity to achieve 100% absorption without engaging the liver and digestive system. Leaky gut, aka permeable membrane, is a very common condition impairing GI absorption, but IV nutrition bypasses this issue. These options also have the capacity to assist with other conditions, such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, diabetes, migraines, withdrawal, dehydration, cardiovascular disease and many more. IV nutrition options have moved past being a novelty to become a critical mode of support for many individuals.
Compounding, Personalization, and Access
Why explore compounded IV nutrition?
You can enjoy the results of a personalized approach. Compounded IV nutrition options are exceptional in that they provide patients with the extra layer of value that comes from 100% bioavailable, precision nutrition used as medicine. As we know, no person has the same biological make up as another, or the same medical history, so options must be approached in a more personalized way, which can be achieved through compounding.
What’s more, in many cases, compounding pharmacies that prepare IV and nutrition options often have access to a wider range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and more specialized nutrients that are not commercially available. This means more comprehensive and personalized nutrition for you.
For patients new to the compounding approach, it’s only natural that there might be a bit of hesitation as they are much more familiar with the traditional commercially available prescriptions. Compounding has been around for much longer than pharma manufacturing though, and is done by trained, qualified, and licensed pharmacists and staff. It’s long been a necessary staple of the medical world. Each batch created by a compounding pharmacy is ideally compliant with important standards (PCAB, State boards, USP) and undergoes regular testing. These batches are also regularly tested for potency and strength to ensure it is appropriate for the particular patient it is being created for. The standardization and quality control of compounding processes is critical.
It's also important that patients considering a compounding approach to IV nutrition options know that pharmacists are highly trained and partner closely with healthcare providers to ensure patients are given the most appropriate medications. Patients can take comfort in knowing they are in very good hands.
