With wellness content everywhere, one question keeps coming up:
“Should I improve my health with diet, supplements, or IV vitamin drips?”
At Glam Gyno, Mapusa (Goa), patients often arrive after already trying:
- Healthy eating
- Multivitamins
- Skincare supplements
- Hair & energy boosters
Yet symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, dull skin, or frequent illness persist.
This guide explains — medically and realistically — how diet, supplements, and IV therapy differ, and when each actually works.
The Foundation: Diet (Essential but Limited)
A balanced diet is always the first pillar of health.
What Diet Does Well
- Provides macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbs)
- Supplies baseline vitamins & minerals
- Supports gut and metabolic health long-term
Where Diet Falls Short (Modern Reality)
- Nutrient depletion in foods
- Stress reduces absorption
- Cooking destroys heat-sensitive vitamins
- Illness & lifestyle increase requirements
📌 Important medical note:
Diet alone may not correct acute deficiencies, high stress states, or recovery needs.
Oral Supplements: Helpful, But Absorption-Limited
Supplements bridge gaps — but they are not fully absorbed.
Typical Absorption Rates
- Vitamin C: ~20–50%
- B-complex: variable
- Magnesium: often poorly tolerated orally
Common Issues
- Gut irritation
- Inconsistent absorption
- Interaction with medications
- Slow results
👉 Many patients in Panaji, Porvorim, and North Goa report taking supplements daily with minimal visible benefit.
This absorption gap explains why some people continue to experience fatigue, dull skin, or low immunity despite consistent supplement use.
IV Vitamin Drip Therapy: Targeted Medical Support
IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion entirely.
Why IV Delivery Is Different
- Near-complete bioavailability
- Immediate cellular availability
- Customised combinations
- Faster symptom relief
When oral absorption is compromised, doctor-led IV Vitamin Drip Therapy in Goa allows nutrients to bypass digestion and reach cells directly under medical supervision.
Comparison Table
| Aspect | Diet | Oral Supplements | IV Vitamin Drips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absorption | Variable | 20–50% | ~90–100% |
| Speed of effect | Slow | Moderate | Fast |
| Customisation | Limited | Limited | High |
| Useful for prevention | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Useful for fatigue / burnout | Limited | Moderate | High |
| Medical supervision | No | No | Yes |
When IV Therapy Makes Medical Sense (Not Everyone Needs It)
IV therapy is not a replacement for food or lifestyle, but becomes valuable when:
- Chronic fatigue that persists despite good nutrition and regular supplementation, often linked to reduced absorption or increased nutrient demand.
- High stress loads and burnout that affect focus, energy levels, and recovery — even when sleep appears adequate.
- Skin and hair concerns that fail to improve with topical treatments alone, often reflecting internal nutrient depletion or oxidative stress.
- Ongoing dehydration, frequent illness, or immune strain — especially in heat, travel, or post-illness recovery phases common in Goa.
IV vitamin therapy:
- Is supportive, not curative
- Does not replace medical treatment
- Works best as part of a doctor-led wellness plan
At Glam Gyno, IV therapy is always preceded by clinical evaluation, not trend-based selection.

FAQs
Is IV therapy better than supplements?
Not always. IV therapy is useful when absorption is poor or symptoms persist despite supplements.
Can I stop eating healthy if I do IV drips?
No. Diet remains foundational. IV therapy supports — it doesn’t replace — nutrition.
How often should IV therapy be done?
Frequency depends on symptoms, deficiencies, and goals. This is decided clinically.

Yes, when administered under medical supervision with appropriate dosing.
