Toronto Functional Medicine Centre Stresses the Value of Arginine IV Therapy in Toronto

Toronto, Ontario -

Toronto Functional Medicine Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada, has released a blog post that stresses the importance of arginine IV therapy in Toronto. When a patient goes for initial consultation at this private clinic, they usually educate the patient on the roles of certain amino acids in the body. Amino acids are the “building blocks” for protein and the body actually requires 20 different kinds of amino acids, including N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is vital for maintaining energy and functionality. Arginine is the amino acid that helps with immune function and wound recovery. It is also a precursor to other amino acids and it may promote detoxification. It may also help in preventing cardioavascular disease. It is also required for the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is a regulator of cellular functioning and blood flow.

Arginine provided intravenously combined with other IV amino acids and this in combination with oral supplements and lifestyle improvements, may help with achieving optimal functioning. There are a number of potential benefits of arginine therapy. First of all, it may help in controlling blood sugar that in turn might boost antioxidant effects for fighting inflammation and oxidative stress. This is because l-arginine has been observed to stimulate beta-cell glucose consumption and intermediary metabolism. This boosts insulin secretion and protective and antioxidant responses to proinflammatory cytokines. Second, it has been noted that arginine supplementation may decrease blood pressure in patients who have mildly elevated blood pressure. Studies have also shown that arginine may function as an anti-hypertensive agent in salt-sensitive models. Third, arginine may help in enhancing physical performance. Studies have shown that arginine supplementation may help athletes in boosting their tolerance to fatigue.

The Toronto Functional Medicine Centre offers IV nutrient therapy or vitamin drip therapy in Toronto. Arginine is provided in their clinic as one of the ingredients of an IV therapy drip that contains a mixture of amino acids. This IV therapy drip may help support wellness when taken alongside oral supplements and a healthy lifestyle. It is important to note that IV therapy drips directly enter the bloodstream and will bypass the digestive tract. This means that it may be appropriate for patients who are suffering from malabsorption or dysphagia.

Meanwhile, NAC is provided through IV therapy incorporated with oral supplements and a healthy lifestyle, which may help in boosting the patient’s immune function, detoxifying the kidneys and liver, and enhancing brain and respiratory health. This therapy may help the body in producing natural antioxidants that help in combating premature cellular aging that may result into weakened immune systems; liver, kidney and lung disease; and even in age-related brain degeneration. NAC therapy may help with hangover detox; mood swings and depression; weight loss; improvement of fertility; lung inflammation; improvement of concentration and memory; regulation of blood sugar levels; and more.

They want to emphasise that functional medicine treatment may be personalized for specific health conditions, such as thyroid issues, immune function issue, autoimmune conditions, athletic recovery, lack of energy, substance withdrawal symptoms, and more.
