COMBATING DEHYDRATION: IV THERAPY VS. WATER

Dehydration can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms like headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and muscle cramps. When these symptoms strike, your first thought might be to reach for a glass of water or make some ginger ale or tea. Home remedies are great for quick relief after exercise or daily activities.

However, while home remedies can help, IV hydration offers a faster and more effective solution for dehydration. Unlike ordinary water, IV fluids contain a saline solution enriched with essential vitamins and minerals that help restore your body's electrolyte balance. This guide will explore the effectiveness of IV hydration compared to drinking water.

IV THERAPY VS. DRINKING WATER: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

For minor thirst, a glass of water is usually enough. But if you're severely dehydrated or feeling unwell, drinking water all day might not provide adequate relief. IV hydration is designed to tackle severe dehydration with a 100% fluid absorption rate.

Drinking water takes time to hydrate because it must pass through the digestive system before reaching dehydrated cells. IV therapy, on the other hand, delivers fluids directly into your bloodstream for quick and efficient hydration.

Additionally, drinking large amounts of water can sometimes cause discomfort or bloating. IV hydration offers a more comfortable and efficient way to rehydrate, especially at IV bars such as Onus IV Hydration Bar.

BENEFITS OF IV HYDRATION

HIGH POTENCY

While water is effective for mild dehydration, it doesn't provide a concentrated dose of essential nutrients like vitamins B and C, magnesium, and zinc. For severe dehydration, water alone may not be sufficient. IV hydration delivers a powerful combination of these nutrients, helping you recover faster.

IMMUNITY BOOST

IV hydration therapy can strengthen your immune system with a potent mix of vitamins, including C and B12. These nutrients are more effective when delivered directly into your bloodstream, ensuring they reach the areas of your body where they're needed most.

ENHANCED COGNITIVE FUNCTION

Proper hydration is essential for optimal brain function, including processing information and memory retention. Dehydration can impair cognitive abilities, but IV hydration quickly restores your body's hydration levels, improving brain function more efficiently than drinking water.
