The digestive system is one of the most intricate parts of the human body, and maintaining good gut health is essential for your overall health and wellbeing. But as easy as that may be said, the practice itself is a proven challenge for millions across a global scale. The solution? Introducing your body to the right essential vitamins – ones that are important for your digestive system. Even more, ones that are proven to not just mask acute/chronic gut health challenges, but ultimately solve them.

5 IV Vitamins Proven To Boost Your Digestive Health

As dynamic and unique as the human body may be, there is one universal concept that applies to everyone across the board: when you have your health, you have everything. And with your digestive system being the main portal for the rest of your body to attain the nutrients/immune defense signals it requires to reach its full potential, it stands to reason why prioritizing gut health is pivotal to ensuring a healthy, all-around wellbeing. But even still, gut health and attaining a healthy digestive system still remain a common struggle for many.

According to HCP, nearly 40% of adults suffer from gastrointestinal disorders. This was found after surveying 33 different countries.

In retrospect, 70M in America alone suffer from digestive issues alongside bacteria imbalances.

All in all, ensuring your digestive system is in ideal working condition is not always as easy as being selective in what you eat. But the good news is that you can help counter the harsh side effects of imbalanced gut health by taking the proper vitamins to promote a stronger, more balanced digestive system for the long term.

B Vitamins

Found in nutrient-dense foods such as fish, dairy, and leafy greens, B Vitamins are quintessential for optimizing gut health, according to studies such as the one done by the National Library of Medicine. Overall, B vitamins are water-soluble resources renowned for helping the enzymes support cellular functions such as breaking down carbs and transporting essential nutrients throughout the body. Scaling this down further, different B vitamins in the complex offer their own intrinsic digestive system support. For example, B1 (aka thiamine) converts carbs to energy and regulates appetite, B3 (aka niacin) helps break down carbs along with fats, and B6 (aka pyridoxine) helps your body process protein, Biotin helps produce good cholesterol and process protein, and lastly, B12 (aka cobalamin) supports the production of blood cells as well as supports the nervous system.

Vitamin C

There is a good chance you have heard of Vitamin C in conversational passing, especially when it comes to skin health. But when it comes to your digestive system, you may be enlightened to know that vitamin C can support this too. According to a 2019 study done by Redox Biology, Vitamin C can advance/improve one’s gut barrier function. In turn, your body attains the support it needs to remain secure against certain toxins and have an easier time absorbing nutrients. In addition, Vitamin C has been found to improve gut health by balancing the good and bad bacteria in your system and increasing microbial diversity.

Zinc

Zinc is a powerful trace mineral that the body does not need ample levels of, but certainly enough each day to carry out vital chemical reasons. In general, Zinc is what helps the growth of new cells, creates DNA, heals damaged tissues, and of course, supports a healthy immune system. As for digestive health, Zinc plays an important role in the production of digestive enzymes, which inevitably help the body break down food into smaller molecules that can be seamlessly passed into the bloodstream. In retrospect, not having enough Zinc in your diet can result in your digestive system not having the full capacity to break down and absorb nutrients, which can lead to things like loss of appetite, abdominal cramping, and nausea.

Magnesium

Another mineral that is critical for body functioning, Magnesium is what helps keep bones strong, the heart in good rhythm, keeping blood pressure at healthy/balanced levels, and peristaltic movement. In short, peristaltic movement is the process by which food moves throughout your digestive system. This means if you lack Magnesium, clear-cut signs would be feeling sluggish, having stomach pains, and becoming constipated. In terms of gut health, think of Magnesium as a muscle relaxant that allows your digestive system to contract regularly and allows food to both move and get digested easier.

 

 

Vitamin D

Known as a fat-soluble vitamin, Vitamin D is an acclaimed part of any diet that helps the body absorb and retain both phosphorus and calcium – two key resources for bone building. Along with that, Vitamin D is said to help control infections and reduce the adversities of inflammation. But above all, Vitamin D is a known nuclear receptor (aka VDR), regulating intestinal barrier integrity via controlling adaptive immunity in the gut and increasing the overall diversity of microbiota. This means that Vitamin D, which can be attained through sunlight, foods such as eggs and saltwater fish, and supplements/IVs, can reduce digestive system inflammation while giving your gut the proper environment to function at peak potential.

Summary – Take Control Of Your Gut Health

In summary, introducing your body to a consistent flow of iv vitamins that target your digestive system is what becomes the catalyst for better gut health and, of course, leads to better overall health. After all, your gut is the central element of your body, and what you ingest determines the strength of your immune system, your energy levels, and even cognitive functions. Not to mention can quickly counter imbalances that cause things like bloating, cramping, acid reflux, among other unwarranted conditions.

In the end, always remember that your health is everything. What you eat, do, and immerse yourself with all equates to the quality of life you will have in the long run. And since the body you have right now will be the one you will have for the rest of your life, there’s no denying that you should do everything you possibly can (absorbing vitamins, mindfulness to fitness) to take the best care of it.
