Since Vitamin C plays a major role in collagen synthesis, immune function, and wound healing, patients need to receive high doses of Vitamin C both before and after surgery to ensure that they are recovering at their best.

We know that patients who suffer major surgery are usually discharged from the hospital after a short time. Vitamin C can be added to Myers' Cocktail IVs to speed up the healing process. Our professional staff at Pure IV Arizona will administer your IV in the comfort of your own home.

As a pre-operative vitamin C intravenous (IV) treatment, Vitamin C has also been found to reduce bruising and swelling after cosmetic surgery. Patients and surgeons have both expressed their satisfaction with the results of pre-and post-operative Vitamin C intravenous therapy.

Nutritional deficiencies inhibit wound healing and increase the risk of postoperative complications for surgical patients. 

Providing optimal IV nutritional supplementation before and after surgery is one of the ways Pure IV Arizona can positively influence your surgical outcome. Due to the increased risk of complications resulting from other medical conditions, optimal perioperative nutrition is also important.

Those who are undernourished, overweight, have diabetes, or have other health problems have an increased risk of surgical complications; they are particularly prone to wound infection and poor healing after surgery.

The diets we consume as a nation are too high in calories and lack essential nutrients, which makes us malnourished and overfed. Approximately 70% of American adults do not even get two-thirds of their recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for one or more nutrients, and the RDA does not provide adequate nutrition to prevent deficiency diseases (such as Rickets, Beriberi, Scurvy), nor does it provide optimal health.

Despite their high micronutrient content, fruits and vegetables are notably underutilized in the Standard American Diet (SAD). As American meals are heavily laden with packaged, processed, nutrient-poor foods, there can be nutrient deficiencies, resulting in a shortage of micronutrients and antioxidants, which are especially important for surgical patients undergoing anesthesia, trauma, and wound healing.

A lack of zinc, selenium, vitamin B6, or vitamin D (to name a few) negatively impacts the immune system. By favorably affecting 4 primary mechanisms, perioperative IV supplementation can have a significant and measurable impact on your surgical outcome. Among them are reducing oxidation caused by surgery and anesthetics, enhancing immunity, reducing bruising, swelling, and inflammation, and speeding up wound healing.

As a result of trauma or surgery, antioxidants can help prevent further damage by deactivating unstable free radicals. Antioxidants include carotenoids, vitamin A, vitamin C, selenium, bioflavonoids, and glutathione, which are vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Several nutrients promote anabolic hormone production and reduce catabolic hormone production. Specific amino acids build tissues, while others enhance healing. Other nutrients such as zinc, selenium, and vitamins B6 & D are known to boost immunity and reduce inflammation.

Since the levels of nutrients in the blood and tissues decrease during surgery, the body requires more nutrients. If you fast (i.e. not eat anything for up to eight hours before surgery), your body and brain will be depleted of nutrients.

The effort to prevent bleeding also results in you being even more nutritionally compromised 2 weeks before surgery. Certain nutrients should indeed be avoided before surgery, as they can increase your bleeding risks, but several others are essential to your healing process as well.

As a proven method of optimizing perioperative nutrition, IV nutritional supplements are administered before and after surgery, which reduces bruising, swelling, inflammation, pain, scarring, and infection. Furthermore, IV nutritional supplements improve wound healing and recovery time. If you have or plan to have any of the following conditions, you should visit us for IV nutritional supplements:

Weight Loss Surgery

• Bariatric Surgery: For you, this is especially important since your diet probably consists of high macronutrients but low micronutrients - i.e. foods that do not promote healing
• Gastric Band
• Gastric Bypass
• Sleeve Gastrectomy
  

Cosmetic Surgery

Gastrointestinal Surgery

Gastrointestinal Surgery: The gastrointestinal tract might not function properly before and after surgery, which can lead to poor digestion and absorption

Major Surgery

Other Surgery and Procedures

• Dental
• Esophageal
• Gall Bladder
• Intestinal
• Laryngeal
• Liver
• Pancreas
• Pharynx
• Rectum
• Throat
• Cancer Surgery: A high-level nutrition program is one of the primary treatments for cancer. Fighting cancer requires a high-level immune system support program. Even though your immune system is already working hard against your cancer, surgery stresses it nutritionally even more.
• Surgery: For faster healing time so you can return to your life sooner and fewer complications that could be costly or life-threatening.
• Dermal injections
• Joint injections
• Laparoscopic
• Major surgery
• Minor surgery
• Orthoscopic surgery
• Small Incision
• Tattoos: Your tattoo will heal more quickly with far less pain and fewer chances of scarring, keloid formation, or infection due to the needle puncturing the dermis in the skin while impregnating it with ink.
  

Injury/Trauma/Burns

IV nutrient supplementation is very important in these situations since inflammation, oxidative stress, and physical/emotional/mental stress all spike when you experience bodily injury, trauma, or burns.

The number of nutrients you require increases dramatically as each biochemical reaction requires a different nutrient. Almost 70% of American adults don't even get two-thirds of their recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for one or more nutrients. However, these RDAs are only adequate to prevent deficiency diseases, not to heal your body optimally. Before an injury, trauma, or burn, it refers to your state.

In the wake of a surgical procedure or if you are about to undergo one, IV therapy may give you the boost you need.

The following benefits are associated with IV treatment:

• Hydration promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow
• For wound healing, high doses of vitamin C and zinc are recommended
  

A crucial component of collagen biosynthesis is vitamin C, which is also dependent on the mineral zinc. Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen biosynthesis. While vitamins C and zinc can help, they often don't provide sufficient nutrients for your body. Vitamin C is needed over 100 times more than it normally does after surgery. Injecting IV vitamins directly into your bloodstream also speeds up the healing process.

Vitamin C is not the only vitamin used in this boost; other vitamins we include are:

• B6
• B12
• B-complex vitamins (B6 and B12, for example) are all synergistic together, and they are beneficial to the skin.
  

Pure IV Arizona recommends the following for optimal results:

• Treatment before and after your surgery will give your body more tools for repairing your connective tissues.
• One or two treatments may be required before your surgery and one or two sessions following it.
• Our goal is to help you in every way possible for your upcoming procedure. We will select the nutrients that you need for your treatment during the consultation.
