IV Medical Nutripharmacology
Recent U.S. NHANES and CDC data indicate that a large proportion of the population suffers from subclinical or overt micronutrient deficiencies.
These deficiencies affect Vitamin C, Magnesium, and B-complex vitamins, along with intracellular antioxidants such as Glutathione and Alpha-Lipoic Acid, and key amino acids
involved in detoxification and mitochondrial redox balance. The following data and graphics illustrate these deficiencies and how IV Myers and Myers Plus therapy can correct them effectively.
Figure 1. Estimated Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiencies in U.S. Adults
Sources: NHANES (CDC), USDA, and peer-reviewed epidemiological studies. Data reflect percentage of adults with deficient or insufficient plasma/serum levels for key micronutrients.
Figure 2. Corrective Impact of IV Myers and Myers Plus Therapy
The chart below illustrates estimated deficiency prevalence before and after administration of IV Myers or Myers Plus therapy,
based on clinical observations and peer-reviewed studies describing improved plasma nutrient bioavailability, redox restoration, and mitochondrial support.
