IV Basics
This method delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive system
What is IV Infusions?
This isotonic IV fluid contains sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and lactate, mimicking human plasma
What is Lactated Ringer’s
This vitamin helps the body ABSORB IRON and plays a key role in wound healing.
What is Vitamin C?
This vitamin group helps convert food into energy in the body.
What are B vitamins (Vitamin B complex)?
These COMPOUNDS protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
What are antioxidants?
This route of administration uses a needle/catheter inserted into a vein.
What is intravenous (IV)?
This mineral in Lactated Ringer’s is important for muscle contraction and heart function.
What is Calcium?
This VITAMIN is a powerful antioxidant & is essential for collagen production & immune support
What is Vitamin C
These vitamins act as coenzymes that convert food into usable energy in the body.
What are B Vitamins (B-Complex)?
This VITAMIN acts as an antioxidant and helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
What is Vitamin C?
This is the main SYSTEM in the body that IV therapy directly enters.
What is the circulatory system (or bloodstream)?
This ELECTROLYTE helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure in the body.
What is Sodium?
Which specific B vitamin helps with red blood cells?
What is B12?
These structures INSIDE cells are responsible for producing ATP, which B vitamins help support.
(HINT: Powerhouse of the cell)
What are Mitochondria?
This ORGAN produces glutathione and plays a major role in detoxification.
What is the liver?
This is the main reason IV infusions work faster than oral supplements…
What is bypassing the digestive system?
“Direct bloodstream delivery”
This electrolyte in Lactated Ringer’s is essential for nerve and muscle function.
What is potassium?
(sodium as well, but potassium is best answer)
These NUTRIENTS are commonly added to IV infusions for immune support and recovery.
What are VITAMINS?
This PROCESS converts food into usable energy, and B vitamins play a key role in it.
What is Metabolism?
This PROCESS occurs when free radicals damage cells, proteins, and DNA in the body.
What is oxidative damage?
(Accept: oxidative stress)
This is one reason oral vitamins may be less effective than IV therapy at high doses.
What is “limited absorption“ in the digestive system?
This type of SOLUTION does not cause fluid to shift into or out of cells and it closely matches blood plasma.
What is isotonic?
This ‘Master Antioxidant’ supports detoxification & protects cells from oxidative damage.
What is Glutathione?
This molecule is the main energy currency of the cell, supported by B vitamins and magnesium
(HINT:the answer is a 3 letter abbreviation)
What is ATP? (adenosine triphosphate)
This SUBSTANCE is known as the ‘Master Antioxidant’ and helps recycle other antioxidants like Vitamin C.
What is Glutathione?
