IV therapy is a powerful and effective way to supercharge your health and well-being. But what exactly is IV therapy – and how can it help you?
What is IV therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is an easy, quick, and safe way to optimize your health by delivering vitamins, minerals, fluids, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It provides your body with nutrients depleted by sickness, stress, or poor sleep. The exact vitamins and nutrients given through the IV, as well as the frequency of these infusions, varies depending on your health needs and goals.
IV therapy effectively and efficiently replenishes vitamins and minerals to the body because it bypasses the digestive system. This treatment option allows nutrients to bypass the digestive system. As a result, your body absorbs 100% of the supplements you need to treat your symptoms and improve your overall health.

How does IV therapy work?
Depending on your body’s needs, you’ll receive a custom blend of vitamins and minerals during the treatment session. You’ll absorb the nutrients faster through IV therapy than by taking them orally because the IV drip allows you to receive higher levels of nutrients directly into your bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, your body can absorb 100% of the vitamins and minerals, improving your health and boosting your immunity.
How can IV therapy help?
IV therapy is used to treat many conditions and is easily customized to treat specific needs. Here are some of the many ways IV therapy is used:
- Strengthen your immune system
- Boost energy and improve overall health
- Replace electrolytes
- Support recovery from illness or surgery
- Decrease tissue and nerve-related pain
- Increase hydration
- Improve athletic performance and decrease recovery times
- Reduce the symptoms of chronic conditions
- Detoxify the body
- Reduce inflammation
- Decrease brain fog
- Help patients with migraines
- Improve skin health
- Balance hormones
- Relieve allergies and sinus infections
- Improve sleep quality
What vitamins and nutrients are used in IV therapy?
While the contents of an IV infusion depend on the patient’s needs, the most common vitamins and nutrients include:
- Vitamin C – A powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system and protects cells from damage
- Vitamin B complex – A group of essential vitamins that help the body convert food into energy and support healthy nervous system function
- Magnesium – A mineral involved in many bodily functions, including energy production and muscle and nerve function
- Calcium – An essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth
- Glutathione – A powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage, improves immune function, enhances metabolism, and increases energy levels
- NAD+ – Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme needed in energy production. As the body fights an illness or ages, NAD+ production slows down, causing fatigue, muscle weakness, and loss of focus. Adding NAD+ to IV therapy can increase endurance, sharpen memory, and boost fat metabolism.
A customized combination of these nutrients is mixed into a saline solution that hydrates the body as it delivers these essential ingredients.
