Toronto, Ontario -
Toronto Functional Medicine Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada, has discussed in a recent blog post how IV therapy with NAC in Toronto may benefit a person’s health. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or acetylcysteine is an amino acid that has been noted to help in preventing liver injuries and in replenishing the glutathione levels in the liver and the body. Glutathione, which is considered to be a master antioxidant, is composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Acetylcysteine, when taken orally, has been observed to offer efficient absorption rates because it can be transformed into cysteine, to proficiently enter cells with the effect of optimizing the synthesis of glutathione.
According to the article, supplementing with NAC may have several beneficial effects. These include: the possible support for the immune function; restocking of the patient’s glutathione levels; promotion of detoxification; possibility of helping with the alleviation of respiratory infection symptoms; possibility of helping with male fertility; and possible assistance with stabilizing blood sugar levels. Glutathione is important because it promotes tissue repair and certain chemical reactions in the body. A study discussed in an article published in the Cell Journal indicated that IV drips with NAC helped patients recover from acetaminophen toxicity. According to a study on animals, NAC combined with glycine may help stabilize blood sugar levels. And another study showed that both NAC and selenium supplements may help men recover the quality of their semen.
At the Toronto Functional Medicine Centre, patients may be advised to try oral supplements or dietary changes that contain certain key ingredients. They also offer amino acid IV therapy that contains NAC as an ingredient. Their IV therapy has been designed to support cell function, enhance cell health, and provide hydration. This intravenous therapy is designed to allow beneficial ingredients, such as NAC, alanine, glutamic acid, vitamin C, amino acids, etc. to directly enter blood flow, which results into the fast absorption of nutrients because the digestive tract is bypassed.
They want to emphasize that the IV drips with a combination of amino acids may be appropriate for patients who are suffering from malabsorption or dysphagia. Their vitamin IV therapy lounge may help with various health conditions, including autoimmune conditions, blood pressure concerns, chronic fatigue syndrome, age-related diseases, mental performance, thyroid conditions, mineral deficiencies, and nutritional deficiencies.
They also want to stress that their approach has been designed to allow patients to have the capability to enhance their health and wellness. Their functional medicine providers may help patients achieve optimal health by taking into account various personal factors, including genetics, biology, and health history. Their vitamin IV lounge is conveniently located in the Yorkville neighbourhood and they can provide various kinds of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals for IV therapy, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), folic acid, high-dose vitamin C, mistletoe, etc. The specific IV drip for a patient can be customized with a particular combination of nutrients, depending on the specific requirements of the patient.
