Enhancing Cancer Care with Tailored Body Strengthening Protocols.
Wellbeing Medical Group has meticulously developed bespoke body strengthening IV infusion protocols, specifically designed to support and enhance patient health throughout the cancer care process. These protocols are strategically formulated to complement conventional cancer treatments, providing an additional layer of care and assistance during recovery.
The body strengthening protocols consist of a precise combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, each selected for its ability to optimize overall health and reinforce the body’s immune response. By utilizing these potent nutrients, the protocols aim to enhance immune function, an essential factor in fighting disease and reducing susceptibility to infections during cancer treatment.
A robust immune system is the body’s primary defence mechanism against illness, and maintaining its strength is paramount in ensuring the patient’s well-being throughout the course of treatment and recovery. Our tailored infusion protocols work to fortify this natural defence, supporting the patient’s resilience and overall quality of life during their cancer care journey.
Vitamins
Vitamins are indispensable micronutrients that the body requires for a range of essential physiological functions. These nutrients are involved in critical processes such as immune support, energy production, tissue repair, metabolic regulation, and antioxidant protection. Due to their widespread impact on health, vitamins are integral components in body-strengthening IV infusion therapy, where they help replenish deficiencies, optimize immune function, enhance the recovery process, and improve overall well-being. Several vitamins play specific roles in boosting immune responses, and a deficiency in any of them can weaken immune function, making the body more susceptible to illness.
Vitamin C: an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress
Vitamin B Complex: enhance energy production
Vitamin D: Enhances the body defence mechanism
Folic Acid: Cell division and overall cell growth and development
Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that the body requires to function optimally. They are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, supporting the proper functioning of the bones, muscles, heart, and brain. Minerals are also integral to the synthesis of enzymes and hormones, which regulate numerous biochemical reactions necessary for health and vitality. Particularly important are the microminerals, which include electrolytes. These electrolytes—such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium play a critical role in maintaining nerve and muscle function, as well as regulating fluid balance, acid-base homeostasis, and overall cellular activity.
Selenium: protects cells and tissues from oxidative stress
Zinc: support production of signalling molecules (cytokines)
Electrolytes: prevent dehydration by regulating fluid balance
Magnesium: enhance cognitive function and support blood sugar levels
Calcium: reduce risk of hypertension and enhance hormonal regulation
Amino Acids
Amino acids an essential building blocks for health and vital functions are fundamental molecules that combine to form proteins, which are the core building blocks of life. When proteins are digested or broken down, they yield amino acids, which the body then uses to synthesize new proteins necessary for various physiological functions. These amino acids play a critical role in processes such as food digestion, growth, tissue repair, and the performance of countless other bodily functions. Additionally, amino acids serve as a vital energy source for the body.
Arginine: Promotes cardiovascular health by enhancing blood flow and supporting healthy blood vessel function.
Lysine: Aids in wound healing and promotes tissue growth, making it essential for recovery and regeneration.
Glutamine: Supports immune function and gut health, vital for overall well-being, particularly during periods of stress or illness.
Taurine: Enhances brain function and promotes cell growth, contributing to cognitive performance and overall vitality.
Glycine: Suppresses the formation of inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Tryptophan: Helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep, supporting emotional well-being and restful recovery.
Phenylalanine: Supports the function of the brain and nervous system, playing a crucial role in mental clarity and neurological health.
Anti-Oxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that play a vital role in protecting the body’s cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals (highly reactive molecules) and the body’s ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. Over time, this imbalance can contribute to diseases and accelerate the ageing process. The use of antioxidants is essential for maintaining cellular health, supporting immune function, and preventing the damage caused by free radicals. Certain antioxidants have been shown to reduce oxidative damage and inhibit cancer cell growth by modulating cellular signalling pathways. Antioxidants have been observed to play a pivotal role in regulating the inflammatory pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. By curbing excessive inflammation and oxidative damage, antioxidants help to sustain immune system function, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and promote overall longevity.
NAC: N-Acetylcysteine, neutralizes free radicals and prevent damage to proteins
Gluthatione: detoxify harmful substances such as heavy metals & environmental toxins
Alpha Lipoic Acid: enhance mitochondrial energy production
