What Are Amino Acids and Why Are They Important?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins—essential for nearly every function in your body. From repairing muscle tissue and producing enzymes to supporting immune function and brain health, amino acids play a vital role in overall wellness.
There are 20 amino acids, and 9 of them are essential, meaning your body can’t produce them—you must get them through food or supplementation.
When delivered through IV therapy, amino acids bypass digestion and go directly into your bloodstream for faster, more efficient absorption and immediate benefits.
How We Offer Amino Acid IV Therapy at GIV Wellness.
We include amino acids in our Peak Performer IV treatment, designed for individuals seeking optimal physical and mental performance. Additionally, clients can purchase our amino acid blend as an add-on to any of our available IV therapies.
We use a trusted formulation known as the Amino Blend from Olympia Pharmacy. This blend includes:
- Arginine
- Ornithine
- Citrulline
- Lysine
- Carnitine
Why Choose IV Amino Acids Over Oral Supplements?
While oral amino acid supplements can be helpful, they must pass through the digestive system, which can slow absorption and reduce effectiveness. IV therapy allows amino acids to enter the bloodstream directly, offering:
- Immediate absorption
- Maximum bioavailability
- Fast-acting support for recovery and energy
- Customizable add-on option tailored to your goals
