IV Therapy FAQs
What is IV Therapy?
An IV infusion is a treatment that administers nutrients intravenously, or into the vein. Typically, IV therapy includes a saline base along with other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. Saline helps hydrate and replenish fluids, while the added vitamins and minerals are delivered directly to the bloodstream for better bioavailability and absorption.
How does IV Therapy work?
A sterile catheter (IV) is inserted into a vein, usually the arm, and connected to a fluid bag containing a customized blend of nutrients. The solution drips slowly into the bloodstream, where nutrients are immediately available for cellular use and metabolic functions.
Who can benefit from IV drip therapy?
Anyone looking to improve hydration, boost mood, increase energy, support the immune system, improve skin quality, reduce migraines or hangovers, or combat chronic fatigue may benefit from IV therapy.
What are the main benefits of IV therapy?
IV therapy offers fast absorption and immediate effects by bypassing the digestive system. It enhances hydration, boosts energy, supports the immune system, improves skin, provides anti-aging benefits, and helps detoxify the body.
Who is not a good candidate for IV drip therapy?
Individuals with kidney disease, heart conditions, or electrolyte imbalances should consult their healthcare provider before receiving IV therapy.
