The Basics

If you’ve recently wondered “What is vitamin IV therapy anyway?”, here’s your source for information. Vitamin IV therapy (a.k.a. IV therapy, IV nutritional therapy, IV nutrient therapy, nutrition and intravenous therapy) is a popular type of therapy used for a variety of health benefits. Traditionally, this type of IV therapy has been used to complement patients undergoing cancer care which was designed to help enhance their health during treatment.

Uses of Vitamin IV Therapy

Today, it’s used more commonly for patients striving for improved health, whether that avoid the next flu virus or simply to have more energy throughout the day. It’s believed completely safe, effective and restorative. In a perfect world, we’d all drink enough appropriate nutrients we need every day. However, that’s not always an attainable goal. Because of this, many people depend on a solution that can help complement a good proper hydration for living as our healthiest selves. IV vitamin therapy can be very helpful in supporting a healthy, nourished body.

Nutrients Administered

IV nutrition consists of a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients together to produce significant results. The process involves a customized drip of intravenous vitamin therapy treatment designed to suit each patient’s unique needs.

Some common infusions used include: Amino acids, Ascorbic Acid, Glutathione, B Vitamins. We offer several IV nutrient therapy solutions to choose from, which can be customized to help boost energy, prevent illness, enhance the immune system, reverse chronic fatigue, reverse the effects of malnutrition and much more.

How we perfom Vitamin IV Therapy

Vitamin IV therapy is performed by injecting a mixture of potent vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream—providing quick, effective results. Therapy is administered at our medical office under the supervision of a trained medical professional. IV nutrition can also be specially customized to fit the unique needs of each individual patient and should be discussed with a physician prior to receiving treatment.

What should I do to prepare?

It is always wise to drink plenty of water. The more water you drink, the plumper your veins become and the easier it’ll be to locate your veins to administer and increase hydration and venous volume leading to the best results. Be sure to bring a good book or headphones with you as you sit and relax and enjoy the treatment.

How long does it take?

IV bags can take anywhere between 15 minutes to 1 hour to administer. The time of the drip will depend on the amount recommended by your healthcare provider. Most drips average up to or less than 30 minutes.

How frequently should I do my IV therapy?

Your healthcare provider will recommend weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly treatment depending on symptoms or desired effects.

Does It Hurt?

Everyone varies on their fear of needles and we understand that. Most people barely feel the IV placement, and many don’t feel it at all. Our certified medical staff is highly experienced and thoroughly trained. We utilize a topical numbing agent and great care to make any discomfort barely noticeable.

What should I worry about?

IV therapy poses low risk for side effects. These could include irritation, inflammation, or bruising of the puncture site. More serious symptoms would include systemic reactions such as allergies but these are very rare despite its possibility of occurrence. You should always share with your provider 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.
