Banana IV Bag
A banana IV bag contains electrolytes, minerals, and B-complex vitamins. It is the b-complex that gives the IV bag a yellow color. A banana IV bag treatment can help nutritional deficiencies, chemical imbalances, dehydration, hangovers, and chronic illnesses.
Banana IV therapy helps restore vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals that are needed for the body to function properly. When your body has the right balance of vitamins and electrolytes, health and energy are optimal. However, if you are out of balance you can experience fatigue, decreased stamina, muscle weakness, brain fog, and heart palpitations.
The banana bag contains the following ingredients:
Thiamine – thiamine (vitamin B1), which helps alleviate hangover symptoms like brain fog. Alcohol causes the depletion of thiamine which is important for brain function. Thiamine deficiency can lead to confusion, irritability, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, seizures, memory loss, nystagmus, ataxia, tachycardia, papilledema, and fatigue.
Folic Acid -Folate deficiency can result in headaches, fainting, shortness of breath, weakness, pale skin, hair loss, extreme tiredness, and heart palpitations.
Multi-vitamins- A combination of different essential vitamins in a banana bag helps boost the immune system.
Magnesium – magnesium sulfate works together with thiamine to restore balance to your brain and heart. Magnesium deficiencies can lead to calcification of arteries, muscle spasms and cramps, depression, anxiety, hormone imbalances, high blood pressures, fatigue, and poor bone health.
Electrolytes- restore chemical imbalances which improve hydration, fatigue, and heart, brain, and nerve function. Electrolyte deficiencies can lead to irregular heartbeat, palpitations, fatigue, lethargy, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
A banana bag IV therapy is more effective than oral vitamin consumption. It can reduce the time to recover from a hangover in half the normal recovery time since fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins are administered directly into the blood and bypass absorption problems of the gut. Most individuals start to feel better during the treatment.
Banana bags help with alcohol-related conditions such as alcohol poisoning, alcoholic ketoacidosis, and hangovers. Alcohol poisoning results from an alcohol overdose. Symptoms can include vomiting, slowed respiration, seizures, and loss of consciousness. Banana bags are often used in ERs for alcohol poisoning.
Alcoholic ketoacidosis occurs in heavy drinking which causes dangerous levels of acid to begin to build up in the body. Common symptoms are fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, and dehydration.
Hangovers are less serious but still make you feel tired, nauseous, and thirsty. A hangover is a combination of the body’s physiological and brain responses to excessive alcohol consumption as the result of dehydration and nutrient depletion. Rehydration is the most important treatment to cover from a hangover. A banana IV bag can help flush out toxins caused by alcohol and restore nutrients lost by alcohol consumption. Without proper treatment, the symptoms of a hanger can last up to three days.
