Intravenous nutritional therapy or nutritional medicine is one of the best treatment methods that can help solve many health issues. Many studies have proven that patients with good nutrition often recover faster and are generally stronger than those with poor nutrition or have nutritional imbalance. Therefore, nutritional medicine works based on this principle.

Scientific evidence found that nutritional imbalance can affect both physical and mental health. Some examples are as follows: 

• Chronic fatigue syndrome from Vitamin B imbalance

• Depression from a Vitamin B12 deficiency

• Catching colds easily or having weak immunity from Vitamin D deficiency

Some other possible causes of nutritional imbalance are found in patients with a history of regular use of antiseptics or antibiotics. This can affect the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract which in turn may affect food absorption in the intestine and may cause a chain of health problems.
