HOW DOES IV VITAMIN THERAPY WORK?

Intravenous therapy, consists of infusing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other nutrients directly to the bloodstream. This delivery method completely bypasses the digestive system and allows nutrients to move through the body’s cells directly, where they can be readily absorbed and utilized.
IV therapy gives the body an increased dose of concentrated nutrition to enhance absorption
and utilization of essential nutrients.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The effects of receiving IV vitamin therapy vary from person to person and depend on factors
such as the specific nutrients in the formula, your current health condition, any nutritional
deficiencies you may have, and how your body reacts. The experience can differ for each
individual.

Duration: Can vary depending on the IV therapy. On average, IV therapy treatments can
be approximately 1.5-2.5 hours. Please come well hydrated and have eaten prior to your
infusion time. Or bring a snack/water with you.
