An IV Therapy is done through an IV that is inserted into your vein most often in your arm or your hand/wrist area. That access allows for the high dose vitamin, mineral, or micronutrient to go directly into your bloodstream versus a vitamin shot that is administered intramuscularly or when you consume nutrients orally, when have to go through your digestive system and metabolize before your body can use them.
Vitamin that’s taken by mouth is limited on how much can be absorbed (only around 50%), while when administered directly into your bloodstream, you have a very high absorption rate (90-100%).
The dosing amounts are often different, too; the IV drip being a more concentrated and high dose.
Anyone could benefit from IV Therapy. The most popular reasons for IV vitamin treatment is to
- relieve stress,
- rid your body of toxins,
- balance hormones,
- boost immunity,
- and make you skin healthier.
Vitamin infusions are being used for a wide variety of health concerns:
- asthma,
- migraines,
- chronic fatigue syndrome,
- fibromyalgia,
- muscle spasms,
- pain, allergies,
- sinus and respiratory tract infections.
A number of other disease states, including angina and hyperthyroidism, have also shown promising results to IV vitamin infusions.
Many people are also using IV vitamin therapy for quick rehydration after an intense sporting event, such as running a marathon, or to cure a hangover.
Traditionally, people who aren’t able to eat enough food, or who have an illness that interferes with nutrient absorption would be good candidates for IV vitamin therapy.
Typically and IV Therapy takes about 30 – 60 minutes. During that time we encourage you to relax, read a book, or close your eyes.
It’s different for everyone. Probably the most ideal time period for most people is every other week. The fluids received during IV therapy last a few hours, but the vitamins can last days to weeks in your body. Every other week allows your body to get the complete recommendation of vitamins.
Our team members will consult with you and make a recommendation as to how often you can get IV treatments based on your health history and individual needs.

Usually, a glass of water is what you may need when thirsty. But if you are acutely dehydrated or ill, you could take cups of water all day but never feel relieved. IV hydration is specifically designed to solve the severe, weakening dehydration symptoms. It assures you a 100% fluids absorption rate.
While IV therapy doesn’t directly treat anxiety, but in conjunction with other medical interventions, IV therapy can help alleviate many anxiety symptoms. It allows your brain to produce what it needs to balance your mood, making it easier for you to cope with these conditions.
IV therapy can help you lose weight, but it's important to understand that the IV treatment is not a miracle cure. In order for the treatment to be truly effective, you need to make sure that you're doing your part as well by practicing healthy lifestyle habits and keeping up with a nutritious diet.
Severe or chronic diarrhea affects your electrolytes and other nutrients, along with making you dehydrated. IV therapy does not cure a stomach virus, but it can help you replace the fluids that you lose with GI disorders.
It's normal for some patients to experience brief discomfort during IV insertion and IV removal. But other than that, having an IV shouldn't hurt.
IV therapy poses low risk for side effects. Side effects from an IV drip are generally non-existent or very mild. On occasion, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, itching, inflammation, or redness at or around the site of injection, and this could last from a few minutes to several days. However, true allergic reactions are extremely rare.
We will consult you prior to any administration and discuss your condition. You should always share any and all pertinent information regarding previous allergic reactions to medications or therapies in the past and/ or medications or supplements you are currently taking.
