Magnesium IV Drip
Are you experiencing chronic fatigue, muscle aches, or anxiety? It’s possible that you have a magnesium deficiency.
What does magnesium do for the body?
According to the National Institute of Health, magnesium is an essential nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. It’s important for many processes in the body, including blood sugar levels, regulating muscle and nerve function, maintaining proper blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA. Your body needs magnesium to perform over 300 biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life. Magnesium is also a natural calcium channel blocker that helps reduce the workload of the heart.
What are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency?
A person who is deficient in magnesium may experience irregular heartbeats, anxiety, tense muscles or muscle spasms. Magnesium deficiency can also cause or worsen multiple medical conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. It is estimated that 50% of people do not have an adequate amount of magnesium in their bodies.
The Health & Vitality Center, a leading center for Functional Medicine in Los Angeles, offers IV Magnesium to treat a deficiency of this vital mineral. Dr. Shiva Lalezar is a pioneer in the use of IV therapy.
What is IV magnesium therapy?
Intravenous magnesium sulfate is a clinically proven treatment for various conditions, such as cardiac arrhythmias and hypertension. Magnesium is infused into your bloodstream through an IV drip. It is often used in conjunction with a Myer’s cocktail, an IV vitamin therapy that combines several crucial vitamins and minerals in one treatment. IV Magnesium effectively enhances the function of the muscular and nervous systems.
What conditions are managed through Magnesium IV Drip therapy?
Here are a few of the disorders that Dr. Lalezar treats using magnesium through IV:
- Anxiety
- Anxiety is often treated with prescription medication. Many doctors do not consider that a lack of magnesium can stress your body and create or worsen anxiety. The Magnesium IV Drip has proven effective in treating anxiety in many of our patients.
- Cardiac Arrhythmias
- Magnesium deficiency causes major stress on the muscular system. The most important muscle in the human body is the heart. There is an intricate connection between magnesium and the heart’s electrical stability. Magnesium deficiency may cause irregular heartbeats, commonly known as arrhythmias. Magnesium IV Drip therapy results in the relaxation of the heart and dilates blood vessels. This allows the heart to work more efficiently.
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Some reports suggest that magnesium may be helpful in lessening the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Fibromyalgia
- A severe deficiency of magnesium can cause the muscles in the body to constantly spasm. Since the muscular and nervous systems are involved in the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, there is believed to be a link between the disease and a magnesium deficiency. Balancing the levels of magnesium in your body through Magnesium Drip therapy at the Health and Vitality Center can improve and deter the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
- Hypertension
- Magnesium is a powerful vasodilator. When blood vessels are dilated, blood pressure comes down dramatically. Dr. Lalezar has weaned many of her patients off their blood pressure medications safely.

How does magnesium help fight anxiety?
Magnesium plays an important role in a number of bodily functions; it is one of the most abundant minerals in the body. In addition, it has a number of health benefits. Research suggests that magnesium is a natural treatment for anxiety. Different researchers have found that magnesium considerably reduced mild anxiety, generalized anxiety, and postpartum anxiety. One of the reasons why magnesium may be helpful for the reduction of anxiety is that it may improve brain function. Furthermore, magnesium plays an important role in regulating neurotransmitters that send messages throughout the body.
For this reason, magnesium may help reduce stress and anxiety, and improve brain function. Magnesium is said to affect a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus helps regulate adrenal and pituitary glands; these glands are responsible for how you respond to stress. You might want to consider using magnesium if you have an anxiety disorder, as it helps reduce the symptoms.
According to studies, many people are not getting enough of magnesium through their diets which results in increased stress and anxiety, as well as other health issues. Low levels of magnesium can also lead to low levels of other minerals such as calcium.
