vitamin IV drip therapy

Groundbreaking Alternative To Vitamin IV Drip Therapy

As you may know by now, there are many questions surrounding the efficacy of the mainstream use of vitamin IV drips; this combined with all the known possible side effects of this treatment have put some of us off having this therapy. However, until now, vitamin IV drip therapy has been the only way to get certain supplements into our system, which is one of the reasons why it had such an appeal.

 

What’s the Alternative for Those of Us Who Don’t Fancy an Iv Drip?

Until now, there really hasn’t been anything to rival the absorption of ingredients you get with vitamin IV drip therapy; you are sending ingredients directly into the bloodstream via a needle, getting a 100% absorption rate of ingredients into your bloodstream.  

Normal oral supplements must make their way through your digestive tract where they get broken up before entering your bloodstream. By the time they reach your bloodstream, you’re getting roughly 30% of the ingredient. Additionally, as the suppliant ages in your cupboard, they start to degrade-you’ve probably opened a bottle of supplements before and noticed that they’ve changed colour, right? So come the end of its shelf life you’re probably getting very little of the desired ingredient. 

With the Hinnao bioavailable supplement range, you have ingredients delivered directly to the bloodstream via the mucous membranes in your mouth within 90 seconds. Although Hinnao doesn’t offer 100% absorption of ingredients, it does offer 90% absorption; this is without any needles and taken in the comfort of your own home. For your reference, normal oral supplements only offer about 30% absorption of their ingredients, offering limited therapeutic effects.  

Hinnao has an entire range of supplements they offer but today we are focusing on just one; NAD+.

What Is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide?

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, thankfully abbreviated to ‘NAD+’, is a critical coenzyme that has important roles in important biological functions such as helping your cells repair damaged DNA, maintaining healthy sleep cycles, and protecting your cells from stress.

As I’ve mentioned, until now NAD+ has been available in IV drip therapy, due to the molecule not being stable. Hinnao has developed a clinically proven delivery mechanism; high-stability liposomes that allow instant abortion of NAD+, whilst ensuring that the product cannot fall out. This high stability liposome creates increased bioavailability-which means, in short, more of the ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream. As I mentioned before, Hinnao supplements offer a 90% absorption. Oh, and it tastes nice too.

Now That We Know the Hinnao Nad+ Reaches the Bloodstream in a Therapeutic Dose, What Does It Do for Us?

Our natural NAD+ levels have typically halved by the time we reach our 50s in comparison to our levels in our 20s. Low NAD+ levels are associated with ageing, as well as chronic diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, vision loss, and heart disease.  In short, the decline in our NAD is believed to be one of the key reasons we develop diseases when we’re old, but not when we’re young. 

It’s alarming that this one enzyme has such a significant role in keeping at bay outward signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, as well as internal signs such as aching joints and the development of life-limiting diseases. 

NAD+ is found in every one of our cells, chiefly having a role in energy conversion within the cell, as well as repairing cell damage and undoing the effects of oxidisation in the body. This is a vital role because our cells need the energy to function effectively and oxidative stress has been linked to a whole number of diseases, including ALS, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, memory loss, depression, lung diseases, and as mentioned before, Alzheimer’s disease. This is an insightful publication should you want to know more about the impact of oxidative stress on our health.

 Supplementing your natural NAD+ levels not only helps to give you longevity when it comes to skin ageing but also longevity in terms of age-related diseases.  

If you’re interested in the Hinnao NAD+ product, and indeed seeing if any of the other products in the Hinnao bioavailable supplement range would benefit you, arrange a consultation at our Hertfordshire clinic today.

    Had another great treatment at the clinic. An hydrofacial platinum. I would highly recommend it. I've had these before else where but this way by far the best. Super relaxing and I left looking vibrant. Worth every penny. I'm now booked for Laser to remove some broken capillaries around the nose area. I am really looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend Skin to Love.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, and for coming back to see us, Maria. We're thrilled the HydraFacial Platinum left you feeling relaxed and looking vibrant. Looking forward to seeing you for your laser treatment soon!

    A great appointment with Jane today for Fraxel. Not to be confused with a relaxing facial treat but the results are amazing. Over time, my pigmentation has vastly reduced, clarity and brightness returned with a smoother overall complexion. A few days downtime which is fine and so worth it, I wouldn't trust anywhere else for skincare advice and treatment. Thank you!
    Response from the owner:Carey, thank you so much for leaving us feedback and for sharing your Fraxel experience. It's a total pleasure looking after you. Thank you for your loyalty, it means a lot.
