Rest and Calm IV Ingredients Taurine Glutathione Dexpanthenol L-Lysince Magnesium Sulfate Methylcobalamin (B12) L-Glycine Pyriodoxine Calcium Chloride MIC Theanine GABA Mineral Blend (Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Selenium) Indications Stress & Anxiety IV Therapy can be supportive in many conditions, but the following have been found to have the most support: Stress Reduction Anxiety Depressed Mood Memory Loss Alzheimers Mind Strengthening Prevention of Alzheimers and Dementia General Nutrition Precautions People may experience a feeling of warmth or mild discomfort when receiving an IV. It is common for patients to taste some of the vitamins, but for those who do not taste them, they are still getting the nutrition. Rare complications that can occur during intravenous therapies include phlebitis (inflammation of the vein) and fluid infiltration (leaking of fluid into the surrounding tissues). Page 1 NUTRIENT IV THERAPY Stress & Anxiety IV The Stress and Anxiety IV is a great option for those trying to reduce acute cases of anxiety and/or depression as well stifle onset of age-related memory loss. This has the powerful amino acids GABA, taurine, and theanine, vitamin B12 and the “relaxation” mineral, magnesium, to help with mental and physical relaxation. This IV was designed to help you attain optimal neurotransmitter function. It provides important B vitamins, which play key roles in the formation and breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Glutathione Glutathione is the brain’s most powerful antioxidant and is needed for cellular production of energy and proper immune function. It helps remove free radicals from blood and cells before they can cause oxidative damage. The cells of the human brain consume about 20% of the body’s oxygen and consequently generate high rates of free radicals in the brain due to this process. Therefore, the detoxification of free radicals is an essential task within the brain making the importance the antioxidant glutathione very important. Deficiencies in important vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are critical in producing adequate defense mechanisms for the brain. This nutrient IV provides nutrients that will help strengthen the body’s immune function and defense. Magnesium Magnesium plays an important role in many of the body’s enzymatic reactions, in neurochemical transmission, and muscle contraction and relaxation. It is responsible for over 300 essential metabolic reactions in the body. It is required for synthesizing proteins in the mitochondria, and for generating energy in most of the body’s basic cellular reactions. Magnesium acts on the vascular system to produce vasodilation (the relaxation of blood vessel walls increasing blood flow), which can help with lowering blood pressure and also preventing and treating migraine headaches. Page 2 NUTRIENT IV THERAPY Stress & Anxiety IV GABA GABA is derived from the amino acid Glutamic acid. It is found in large amounts in the Hypothalamus. GABA is a muscle relaxant, decreases anxiety, aids in secreting growth hormone, promotes sleep and helps with hypoglycemia. Taurine Taurine is an essential amino acid but stops producing it in times of extreme physical exertion, therefore, utilizing supplementation. Taurine acts as a metabolic transmitter and is also known to have a detoxifying effect. Taurine aids in glucose metabolism by increasing the activity of the insulin receptors making this a good option for diabetics or those with insulin resistance. Taurine also improves fat metabolism in the liver and helps to decrease triglycerides and LDL levels by reducing bile acids. Taurine works on the same receptors in the brain as glycine and GABA to promote relaxation. Pyridoxine Pyridoxine, Vitamin B6, is one of eight B vitamins frequently referred to as the complex vitamins. All the B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is then “burned” to produce energy and help the body metabolize fats and protein. Because B vitamins are water soluble, the body does not store them. Therefore, they must be replaced frequently, especially when the body is under any type of stress, physical and emotional. Even exercise depletes B vitamins in our system. B6 is essential for normal brain development and function and helps the body produce the hormones serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine as well as melatonin.
