IV Vitamin Infusion
Infuvite
Infuvite is a multivitamin infusion designed for intravenous administration, primarily used to prevent vitamin deficiencies in patients receiving parenteral nutrition or those unable to meet nutritional needs orally due to conditions like surgery, burns, trauma, or severe infections. By delivering a comprehensive blend of essential water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins directly into the bloodstream, Infuvite bypasses the digestive system, ensuring 100% absorption and supporting the body’s normal resistance, repair processes, energy metabolism, and immune function. It is particularly beneficial in maintaining nutritional balance in adults and children (aged 11 and older for Infuvite Adult, and up to 11 for Infuvite Pediatric) during periods of increased metabolic demand or when oral intake is not feasible.

Component Vitamins in Infuvite Adult
Below is a summary of each vitamin component in Infuvite Adult, based on its formulation (per 10 mL daily dose: 5 mL from Vial 1 and 5 mL from Vial 2), including their roles and benefits:
1. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - 200 mg
A water-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant, ascorbic acid is crucial for collagen synthesis, wound healing, and immune function. It supports tissue repair, protects cells from oxidative stress, and aids in the absorption of iron. In Infuvite, it helps address increased needs during stress conditions like surgery or infections.
2. Vitamin A (as Palmitate) - 3,300 IU (1 mg Retinol)
A fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, immune system function, and skin health. It supports epithelial cell integrity and is critical for growth and development. In Infuvite, it helps prevent deficiencies in patients with limited oral intake, though levels should be monitored in those with liver disease or high alcohol consumption to avoid toxicity.
3. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) - 200 IU (5 mcg)
A fat-soluble vitamin that promotes calcium absorption, supporting bone health and immune function. It plays a role in cell growth and neuromuscular function. In Infuvite, it helps maintain bone integrity in patients on long-term parenteral nutrition.
4. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - 6 mg
A water-soluble B vitamin vital for carbohydrate metabolism and nervous system function. It supports energy production and prevents conditions like beriberi. In Infuvite, it addresses increased metabolic demands in trauma or illness.
5. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) - 3.6 mg
A water-soluble vitamin involved in energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and antioxidant activity. It supports healthy skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. In Infuvite, it helps maintain energy production.
6. Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) - 6 mg
A water-soluble vitamin essential for protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and red blood cell formation. It supports brain health and immune function. In Infuvite, it aids patients with increased metabolic needs.
7. Niacinamide - 40 mg
A form of vitamin B3 that supports energy metabolism, DNA repair, and skin health. It helps maintain cellular function under stress conditions. In Infuvite, it contributes to overall nutritional support, particularly for patients unable to consume oral nutrients.
8. Dexpanthenol (Pantothenic Acid Derivative) - 15 mg
A precursor to coenzyme A, essential for fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. It supports adrenal function and wound healing. In Infuvite, it aids in maintaining metabolic processes during parenteral nutrition.
9. Vitamin E - 10 IU (10 mg)
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. It supports immune function and skin health. In Infuvite, it helps prevent deficiencies in patients with malabsorption or prolonged parenteral nutrition, solubilized for IV use with polysorbate 80.
10. Vitamin K1 - 150 mcg
A fat-soluble vitamin critical for blood clotting and bone health. It supports the synthesis of clotting factors. In Infuvite, it helps prevent bleeding disorders.
11. Folic Acid - 600 mcg
A water-soluble B vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and fetal development. In Infuvite, it prevents deficiencies.
12. Biotin - 60 mcg
A water-soluble B vitamin that supports carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails. In Infuvite, it ensures metabolic balance in patients reliant on parenteral nutrition.
13. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) - 5 mcg
A water-soluble vitamin crucial for red blood cell production, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. In Infuvite, it prevents pernicious anemia.
