Collagen keeps skin firm and supple for a youthful glow.
Collagen is the most abundant type of protein in the body, used to build everything from blood vessels and muscles to skin and bones. Collagen is the structure or ‘scaffolding’ protein that gives skin and connective tissues stability and support.
Collagen is especially important for the outermost layer of skin which acts as a barrier against toxins, pathogens and other unwanted intruders.
Our bodies make collagen, but production slows as we age. When collagen levels drop we see unwanted effects like:
Aging isn’t the only culprit behind decreased collagen. Your body needs the right materials to build its own collagen. A poor diet (or poor digestion) can hurt your ability to synthesize collagen.
Ingredients used in our IV drips and vitamin shots include amino acids, vitamins, minerals and more. You can also customize any treatment with add-on boost options.
There are multiple factors that can prevent proper absorption of nutrients through the digestive tract:
IV infusions make sure you receive and properly absorb the nutrients required for collagen synthesis. Hydration and beneficial supplements go straight into your bloodstream and are distributed to every cell.
IV treatments are also free of pesticides, antibiotics and other contaminates that can be found in food products.
