IV Vitamin Therapy
IV vitamin therapy is often used as a complementary or alternative treatment for a variety of conditions, including fatigue, migraines, respiratory infections, and chronic diseases. Some people also use IV vitamin therapy as a way to improve their overall health and well-being.
IV infusion therapy commonly includes vitamins (vitamins C, B1, B6, B12), minerals (calcium, magnesium), co-enzymes (NAD+), and antioxidants (glutathione).
How does IV vitamin therapy work?
IV vitamin therapy works by delivering a high dose of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream through an IV drip. This allows for the nutrients to be quickly and efficiently absorbed by the body, as they are not subject to the digestive system's limitations.
What are the results of IV Vitamin Therapy?
Some potential benefits of IV vitamin therapy may include: Increased energy and vitality, Improved immune function, Faster recovery after exercise or injury, Reduced symptoms of certain health conditions, and improved skin health.
What are the side effects?
Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, dizziness or lightheadedness, infection at the injection site. Please note that these are not all the side effects, and it depends on the patient's overall health status.
Once your infusion is completed, the IV site will be covered with a small pressure dressing (please leave in place for 30 minutes). Afterward, you can resume all normal activities.

Preparing for Your IV Vitamin Therapy
Most infusions can be completed in less than 45 minutes, and you don’t need to do anything other than sit back and relax. Here are a few recommendations prior to your visit:
Hydrate:
The infused vitamins and minerals are concentrated, and can be dehydrating at the cellular level. Your body will be more responsive if you are hydrated prior to your infusion.
Eat:
A protein snack before or during your visit can help support your metabolism during your high-nutrient infusion.
Wear Comfortable Clothes:
It would be wise to wear a short sleeve top or sleeves that can be rolled up above the elbow, along with comfortable pants and socks. If needed, we have cozy blankets for you to stay warm.
Bring a Tablet, Book or Music:
Most infusions take approximately 30 minutes, but NAD+ may take up to 2 hrs.
