Mitchel Hooper advises athletes to use IV therapy for faster recovery

Bodybuilding legend Mitchell Hooper first begins with the fact that IV therapy is immensely helpful in rehydrating effectively. He says, “How the digestion system works is funny to think about but when something goes into your mouth, it’s still not into your body, it’s just the tune from your mouth to your anus. We haven’t absorbed anything.”

So when we go through IV therapy, it helps in absorbing everything that you consume from vitamins to minerals into your bloodstream. He further adds that this might also be a drawback and thus must be done only under supervision. Secondly, IV therapy lowers the chance of muscle cramps. And most importantly it promotes smoother recovery, which is the primary reason why he takes it.
