IV Vitamin Therapy for Cancer and Chemotherapy 

Cancer and chemotherapy strain your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy can help alleviate symptoms and side effects while renewing energy, virality, and mood.  Chemotherapy (chemo) is a type of cancer treatment that uses medication to destroy cancer cells and keep them from growing. Chemo may be used before or after surgery or radiation, or may be used on its own to shrink a tumor and reduce symptoms.  Because chemotherapy travels throughout the body, it affects both normal, healthy cells and cancer cells. It’s the damage to healthy cells that causes side effects, which can vary depending on the type of cancer and overall treatment.

Is IV Vitamin Therapy Right For Me?

While IV vitamin infusions are not a cure for cancer, they serve as a powerful complementary therapy to support your body’s resilience and improve your quality of life during and after treatment.

IV therapy for cancer patients focuses on alleviating symptoms, replenishing nutrients, and fortifying your system.

While IV infusions may help relieve symptoms and promote overall wellness, they are not a cure for cancer.
* Always speak with your healthcare provider before beginning any treatment. *

Potential Side Effects of Chemo 

One of the primary and most common side effects of cancer and treatment is fatigue. Cancer fatigue is a condition that differs from the typical fatigue that occurs after activity and is relieved with rest and sleep. Cancer fatigue can occur even after minimal activity and is typically not relieved by rest or sleep.  

  • Chemo brain, which causes memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and difficulty doing more than one task at a time 
  • Fatigue 
  • Peripheral neuropathy, which is a painful, numb, or tingling feeling that makes  coordination challenging 
  • Difficulty concentrating 
  • Vomiting and digestive issues

I had a great experience today at Mixt IV Spa in Los Alamitos. The vibe was calm, clean, and inviting. Jennifer was super friendly, knowledgeable and took time to explain the different IV options and recommended what was best for my specific needs.

I opted for the hydration therapy and a vitamin B boost. The nurse was professional and gentle, making the whole process very comfortable. I truly appreciated the sterile and relaxing environment. Within just an hour of leaving, I felt more energized and clear-headed, which is exactly what I needed. The prices are reasonable as well. I highly recommend Mixt IV Spa and will definitely be returning.

Symptoms of Cancer Fatigue  

Although it is not always the case, pain and discomfort can occur with cancer and cancer treatments. Headaches, leg cramps, and pain in the hands and feet are some common types of cancer pain. 

  • Feeling lethargic and drained 
  • Having difficulty moving 
  • Emotional exhaustion 
  • Difficulty concentrating 

What Causes Cancer Fatigue 

Cancer fatigue can be caused by various factors, including the specific type of cancer, the treatment itself, and the side effects of treatment. Cancer cells use nutrients that your body needs for energy, leaving you feeling fatigued. Additionally, cancer can cause your body to release cytokines, which help fight infections; however, these cytokines can cause fatigue when released at high levels. A syndrome known as cachexia that causes muscle and weight loss in some people with cancer, can also cause fatigue. 

The emotional impact of having and being treated for cancer is significant. It is not uncommon to experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and worry in addition to sleep  and appetite issues. All can contribute to fatigue.

Benefits of IV Therapy for Cancer and Chemotherapy

While IV vitamin infusions are not a cure for cancer, they serve as a powerful complementary therapy to support your body’s resilience and improve your quality of life during and after treatment. IV therapy for cancer patients focuses on alleviating symptoms, replenishing nutrients, and fortifying your system.

Combating Cancer-Related Fatigue

Chemotherapy and cancer itself can cause debilitating fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest. IV infusion therapy for cancer delivers a potent blend of B vitamins and magnesium, which are essential for cellular energy production. This can help restore energy levels and combat the exhaustion that interferes with daily life.

Support for the Immune System

Chemotherapy often compromises the immune system, making patients more susceptible to infections. High-dose Vitamin C and Zinc, delivered intravenously, can significantly support and enhance immune function. This is a crucial benefit of IV therapy for cancer.

Relief from Nausea and Digestive Issues

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting can make it nearly impossible to eat or drink, leading to dehydration and malnutrition. Our infusions can include powerful anti-nausea medications like Zofran, alongside fluids and electrolytes, to bring fast relief. You can also explore our dedicated Stomach Flu therapy page for more details on nausea relief.

Nutritional and Hydration Support

Cancer and its treatments can deplete the body of essential vitamins and minerals. IV therapy for cancer patients ensures that these vital nutrients are rapidly and efficiently replenished. Our Hydration Therapy is an excellent option for this purpose.

Neuropathy and Pain Management

Symptoms like peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain) and muscle cramps can be a side effect of certain treatments. Magnesium in our infusions can help with nerve signaling and muscle relaxation. Our Migraine therapy page also has more information on how IV therapy can aid in pain relief.

Mental and Emotional Well-being

The emotional toll of cancer and treatment is immense. The vitamins and minerals in our infusions, such as magnesium and B vitamins, support nervous system function and mood regulation, which can help reduce stress and anxiety. Our Stress Therapy is also a great option to explore.

IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy 

IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy is an advanced approach to achieving better health that effectively delivers nutrients and vitamins directly into the bloodstream via a small needle placed into a vein (intravenous). By providing nutrients intravenously, treatments do not need to be processed by the digestive system, and therefore, maximum potency is maintained for a successful result. 

Vitamin infusion is a unique blend of nutrients and vitamins that promote healing and improved well-being

  • B-Complex Vitamins boost metabolism and energy.  
  • Vitamin B12 is essential in red blood cell formation and supports recovery. 
  • Vitamin C is vital to healing.  
  • Magnesium helps to reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol. 
  • Glutathione enhances metabolic detoxification and regulates the immune system.  
  • Diphenhydramine prevents and treats symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea  and vomiting.  
  • Toradol eases pain by reducing inflammation. 
  • Zofran prevents nausea and vomiting.  
  • Pepcid relieves stomach pain by reducing the amount of stomach acid.
  • Biotin is a B vitamin that helps convert food into energy.

NAD+ IV Therapy 

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a complex substance our bodies naturally produce in every cell. NAD+ helps convert nutrients into energy, fights the effects of aging, repairs damage, and controls inflammation, among other functions. NAD+ IV therapy benefits health and wellness by promoting faster recovery, reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, clearing brain fog, and enhancing mental clarity and concentration. 

Safety, Consultation, and Medical Oversight

Given the sensitive nature of your health, it is absolutely essential to prioritize safety. While IV vitamin therapy for cancer is a supportive tool, it is not a primary cancer treatment. Therefore, you must always consult with your oncologist or primary physician before starting any IV vitamin infusion.

At MIXT IV Spa, we take your well-being seriously. Before your first appointment, our medical team will:

  • Review your full medical history, including your current cancer treatment plan.
  • Discuss any medications or supplements you are taking.
  • Collaborate with your medical team if needed to ensure the infusion is appropriate for you.
  • Create a personalized, safe, and effective treatment plan that complements your existing care.

We are committed to providing responsible, expert care in a tranquil and supportive environment, giving you peace of mind as you focus on your recovery.

Infusion Therapy for Cancer and the Effects of  Chemotherapy 

Cancer and chemotherapy come with a wide range of symptoms and side effects  ranging from mild to severe. It’s not uncommon to feel stressed and to experience a new kind of fatigue. Vitamin Infusion Therapy can help ease symptoms and reduce side  effects by replenishing lost vitamins, nutrients, and hydration in a peaceful and  soothing environment.

FAQs: Your Questions About IV Therapy and Cancer

No. IV vitamin therapy, including IV infusion therapy for cancer, is considered a complementary or supportive treatment. Its goal is to help manage the side effects of conventional treatments like chemotherapy, improve a patient’s quality of life, and support the body’s overall health and immune function.

While there is no cure for “chemo brain,” the vitamins and antioxidants in an infusion can support cognitive function and help with mental clarity. By combating fatigue and inflammation, IV therapy can help your brain function more optimally.

The primary benefit is improved quality of life. By addressing common and debilitating side effects like fatigue, nausea, and dehydration, IV therapy for cancer patients can help you feel stronger, more energetic, and more capable of handling the demands of your treatment and daily life.

While generally safe, IV therapy may not be appropriate for all cancer patients. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as kidney or heart issues, or those with specific medication requirements, need to be carefully evaluated. It is why we require a medical consultation with your doctor before starting.

Our clinic offers a personalized, comfortable, and low-stress environment. Unlike long waits at a hospital, our spa-like setting is designed for peace and relaxation. You receive focused attention from our licensed medical staff in a setting that supports both your physical and mental well-being, complementing the care you receive from your oncology team.
