There are different ways to infuse micronutrients, using intravenous IV or intramuscular IM routes may be the most effective ways of correcting the essential vitamin and mineral intracellular deficits in certain people. As the name suggests, intravenous administration provides direct delivery to the bloodstream; bypassing any obstacles in the digestive system that may hinder absorption. This results in 100% bioavailability. For example, the level attainable by oral administration of vitamin C is much lower than that of IV administration due to saturation of gastrointestinal absorption abilities and an increase in renal clearance as oral doses increase. It has been shown that the maximum concentration of vitamin C level after oral administration was 9.3mg/dL compared to the peak level of 80 mg/dL when given intravenously.

This is important because some benefits from nutrients are present only when certain concentrations are reached. For instance, the antiviral effect of vitamin C has been demonstrated at a concentration of 10-15 mg/dL; a level not attainable by oral administration. 

Oral absorption of a nutrient is often affected by food or impaired by other nutrients and minerals. For example, the absorption of zinc that is given orally is impaired by iron. Additionally, IV administration can prevent gastrointestinal side effects such as upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting which can be limiting for proper dosing and adherence. Improved absorption with reduced GI adverse effects may make IV administration a more suitable option for many people. 

ORAL or IV VITAMINS?

Put simply, many people have eaten so poorly for so many years based on poor western diet options and habits that they cannot easily correct their chronic conditions with proper dieting alone. Intravenous therapies involving vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other natural agents that can bypass a dysfunctional gastrointestinal tract, may improve the person's quality of life faster and more efficiently, as well as improve ongoing chronic health conditions under the proper health provider care.
