How Can a Recovery IV Help With Marathon Training?

A recovery IV provides the body with essential hydration and extra nutrients to help replenish your depleted muscles and make up for any fluid you lose through sweating. A recovery IV can help improve energy levels, replenish vitamins, and even improve your athletic performance. Not only is a recovery IV helpful while training for a marathon, but it is also helpful to help your body recover after completing the marathon.

What is in a Recovery IV?

A recovery IV contains B-complex vitamins, vitamin B12, vitamin C, magnesium, Lipostat, and glutathione. These ingredients all support marathon training in their own unique ways.

  • B-complex vitamins and B12: B vitamins help your body convert fuel to energy, and they can help boost your mood as well.
  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron, which helps with boosting energy levels. This vitamin also helps your body with the formation of collagen, which supports healthy joints and muscles.
  • Magnesium: Magnesium helps to support a healthy metabolism.1 Most people have insufficient levels of magnesium, and when your magnesium levels are low, it can hinder your athletic performance.

  • Lipostat: Lipostat helps with fat burning and boosting the metabolism.
  • Glutathione: Glutathione has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help prevent muscle fatigue and correct tissue damage.2

How to Get a Recovery IV?

Getting a recovery IV is as simple as scheduling your visit and waiting patiently in the comfort of your own home. Mobile IV services like Drip Hydration come directly to your home so that you don’t have to commute to any location or spend time in a waiting room before you are seen. A nurse will come to your home and insert an IV into your arm using a needle and catheter. The catheter is connected to a bag of fluids which contain the ingredients of your chosen formula, which are delivered slowly to your bloodstream over the course of 30-45 minutes.

Is IV Therapy More Effective Than Taking Supplements by Mouth?

IV infusions are the most effective way to get vitamins and hydration into your system because they go directly to the bloodstream. When you take supplements by mouth, they must first pass through your digestive tract. The digestive process can break down ingredients, preventing them from being fully absorbed, and takes several hours to complete.

Completing a marathon is no small feat. The training alone will take a serious toll on your body. It is important to take steps to recover properly so that you can come out of your marathon feeling stronger than ever rather than being completely drained.
