What is IV therapy?

IV therapy, also called IV nutrition therapy, is a treatment that uses a sterile needle and medical tubing to deliver a powerful boost of balanced nutrients directly into your bloodstream. While IV therapy is currently enjoying a great deal of attention, the practice is nothing new.

Intravenous (IV) therapy has long been used in emergency rooms and surgical settings to deliver immediate hydration and precise doses of medication. In wellness applications, IV therapy takes the same approach—only it delivers a blend of nutrients instead of medication.

Some of the areas where IV therapy may help include:

• Immune boost

• Hangover recovery

• Weight loss

• Fatigue

• Workout recovery

• Chronic dehydration

• Headaches

• Menstrual cramping

• Brain fog

IV therapy is highly customized, delivering the specific nutrients your body needs.

What are the benefits of IV therapy?

IV therapy provides a powerful nutrition boost by making micronutrients immediately available in your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system entirely.

While it’s possible to get necessary nutrients through food, doing so often requires significant time for planning, shopping, and preparing meals. Busy lifestyles can make it difficult to maintain optimal nutrition through food alone.

Supplements can help, but research shows that a portion of oral supplements often passes through the digestive system without being fully absorbed. IV therapy offers a more efficient delivery system to help your body thrive.

Is IV therapy a painful process?

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, IV therapy is not painful. Once you're resting comfortably in a treatment chair, your provider will insert a small needle connected to medical tubing into a vein—typically in your hand or wrist.

The tubing connects to a bag containing your custom nutrient blend, which is delivered slowly into your bloodstream. Most sessions take less than an hour. Once complete, the provider gently removes the tubing, and you’re free to resume your day.
