Intravenous therapy (IV therapy): Science, bioavailability & cellular health
Intravenous therapy (IV therapy) is a medical procedure of direct infusion into the bloodstream that delivers vitamins, trace elements, essential minerals, amino acids, and potent antioxidants directly to your cells with 100% bioavailability, bypassing gastric and hepatic breakdown common to oral supplements.
At Vita IV Bar, under the scientific leadership of Dr. Lina Motta, each IV drip is formulated with pharmacological-grade biological nutrients certified by the INVIMA, administered by registered nurses under strict clinical biosafety protocols in Bogotá and San Andrés Island.
What is IV therapy and how does it work inside the body?
Micronutrient IV therapy delivers slow infusions of isotonic solutions enriched with high-purity vitamins and minerals. By completely bypassing the digestive tract, nutrients reach plasma concentrations that cannot be achieved orally without gastrointestinal distress, directly stimulating mitochondrial ATP synthesis and neutralizing oxidative stress.
Clinical difference: IV therapy vs. oral supplements
Oral supplements only provide 15% to 30% absorption due to gastric acid and liver first-pass metabolism. IV therapy delivers 100% plasma bioavailability, immediate cellular action, and zero stomach irritation.
Clinical safety and medical oversight
Every IV procedure at Vita IV Bar includes a prior health screening, sterile single-use supplies certified by INVIMA, and administration exclusively by licensed registered nurses.
