In today's world, the importance of regular physical activity is non-negotiable! But for many people, exercise goes beyond wellness and is closer to a passion. Whether they participate in long-distance running, bike racing, swimming, or any other sport. The goal? To improve their overall performance as an amateur or professional athlete. To do so, however, requires more than just dedication.

Benefits of IV Hydration Pre-Workout

Starting any exercise dehydrated is a bad idea, and can increase the likelihood of an injury. It might also cause stiff muscles or cramps, causing you to stop short. It is advisable to drink approximately 8 ounces of fluid 2 to 3 hours prior to exercise. To allow your body to process it in time to be used for your workout. Additional water, or additives, may be necessary depending on your weight and the duration of your workout. Or, versus, downing several drinks and salt tablets, you can get it all via IV. Although athletes can still benefit from it during their training.

For instance, IV drips:

• Promote energy consumption.
• Relieve muscle aches and soreness.
• Improve cellular repair.
• Support muscle growth and repair.
• Ease muscle cramps.
• Reduce oxidative stress.
• Enhance muscle strength and tone.
• Increase endurance.

Benefits of IV Hydration Post-Workout

Frequent and/or strenuous physical activity leads to the loss of fluids and essential minerals through sweat, which has to be replaced. Why? They assist in your overall health and impact your future athletic performance. For example, the loss of sodium and chloride will reduce power, strength, agility, skill, and concentration. Meanwhile, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate are necessary for muscle health and muscle recovery or repair. In the long run, it will help your body better adapt to your workouts!

Benefits of IV hydration post-workout include:

• Faster recovery.
• Less inflammation.
• Restored fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins.
• Decreased oxidative stress.
• Immediate rehydration.
• Relief from muscle soreness and aches.

Best Option for Your Athletic Performance

At Vida-Flo, we deliver your body the equivalent of 2.5 gallons of water - usually in a much shorter period of time than what it would take for you to hydrate orally. Our two base IV solutions include:

• IV Hydration First, IV Drips are sterile saline solutions that deliver vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream. As a result, your body absorbs 100% of the fluids.
• Electrolytes Next, these minerals help hydrate you. Because of them, muscle function, pH balance in blood, nerve function, and damaged tissues and cells improve.

Once you know our base solution, you can add vitamins to fit your needs. For example, choose between our three options for your peak athletic performance:

• Vitamin B12 Maintain and produce red blood cells, nerves, and DNA with Vitamin B12. Sometimes, not enough B12 causes anemia, or low red blood cell count.
• Vitamin B5 Alternatively, Vitamin B5 encourages healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. It also helps metabolize fats, proteins, and coenzyme A.
• Vitamin B Complex Unlike Vitamin B12, Vitamin B Complex is a group of vitamins. They increase energy production, metabolic support, cardiovascular support, etc.
