How does IV vitamin therapy work?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is the administration of a fluid substance (solution) directly into a vein as a therapeutic When solutions are administered via IV, the ingredients are 100% bioavailable. Bioavailability if the measurement of the amount of the substance that the body retains. In simpler terms, when you receive something intravenous, your body absorbs 100% of that solution. What this means is that when you receive doses of vitamins and minerals through our IV therapies, you absorb all of it. We are able to bypass the digestive tract and allow the body to absorb these nutrients that are so crucial to health and wellness. We are also able to administer much higher doses than what we can tolerate orally. When we take an oral supplement, we absorb a fraction of the nutrient, sometimes as low as 15%.

Do I need to get blood work prior to coming in for an IV treatment?

No. We do not require blood work prior to receiving a vitamin treatment.

The effects of these powerful vitamins may last much longer, as much as a few weeks. It is important to stay consistent with treatments.

Will my body feel overwhelmed after my IV treatment by all of the nutrients at once?

We believe this to be false! Many of our vitamins and minerals work together for optimal function.

We believe in proper nutrient balance and achieve such results by including several nutrients during one infusion.
