Not All Vitamins Are Absorbed Equally — Here’s the Truth.
When you're feeling run-down, dehydrated, or depleted, it's normal to reach for supplements or vitamins. But did you know that the way you absorb nutrients depends entirely on how you take them?
Let’s break down the key differences between IV vitamin therapy and oral supplements, so you can make the best decision for your health—and your time.
Quick Comparison: IV Therapy vs. Oral Supplements
| Category | IV Therapy | Oral Supplements |
|---|---|---|
| Absorption Rate | 90–100% (direct to bloodstream) | ~20–50% (must pass through digestion) |
| Onset of Effect | Within minutes to hours | Days to weeks |
| Delivery Method | Intravenous (infused by a professional) | Pills, capsules, or gummies |
| Bioavailability | High – no nutrient loss through digestion | Variable – affected by gut health & medications |
| Ideal For | Quick recovery, fatigue, dehydration, immunity support | Daily maintenance, general supplementation |
| Customization | Fully customizable to your lab needs & lifestyle | One-size-fits-all dosing |
| Frequency Needed | Weekly to monthly, based on goals | Daily use required |
So...Which Works Faster?
IV therapy wins when you want results fast.
Because vitamins and fluids go directly into your bloodstream, they bypass your digestive system entirely—meaning your body can use them immediately.
Whether you're:
-
Fighting off a cold,
-
Rebounding from burnout,
-
Or needing a glow-up before a big event…
IV therapy is the most effective and efficient choice.
Backed by Science
-
A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that IV nutrient therapy led to faster and higher concentrations of vitamins in the bloodstream compared to oral forms.
-
IV hydration also restores electrolyte balance and supports detoxification more rapidly than oral methods.
