What is the bioavailability of IV therapy vs oral supplements?

IV therapy has 100% bioavailability because nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. Oral supplements typically have only 10-25% bioavailability due to digestive breakdown and absorption limitations.

Is there scientific evidence supporting NAD+ IV therapy?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies published in journals like Cell Metabolism and Science have demonstrated NAD+ supplementation can improve mitochondrial function, support cognitive health, and improve metabolic markers including insulin sensitivity.

How effective is IV hydration compared to drinking water?

IV hydration restores intravascular volume more rapidly than oral rehydration. Research published in The Lancet shows IV fluid resuscitation is particularly effective for moderate to severe dehydration, with faster symptom relief than oral fluids alone.
