WHAT IS IV WELLNESS THERAPY?
IV wellness therapy is an infusion of vitamins, electrolytes, amino acids, and coenzymes directly into the blood stream via an intravenous catheter. Advantages of IV therapy over oral supplementation include a much higher absorption rate and bioavailability of nutrients to your cells. By bypassing the digestive system, a greater amount can be infused and circumvent malabsorption or gastrointestinal upset.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
An IV catheter will be placed in your arm, and the solution infuses over 30-45 minutes. You will be monitored throughout to ensure you are tolerating the treatment. Each IV bag contains 500mL of normal saline, then the additive. These can be done once per month.
​
-
Boost: Contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, and vitamin C. Good for overall wellness, dehydration, energy, and general fatigue.
-
Glow: Contains glutathione. Known as the "master antioxidant", glutathione combats free radicals in the body. It may also have implications in skin appearance.
-
Immunity: Contains high dose vitamin C. Best for recovering from or preventing illness, or pre or post surgery.
-
Youth: Contains NAD+. This coenzyme naturally depletes as we age, as has been implicated in brain health and cellular aging. Please note this infusion typically takes 2.5-3 hours to complete.
WHAT ARE WELLNESS SHOTS?
Wellness shots are intramuscular injections containing vitamins and/or amino acids. This allows for rapid absorption of the solution. It does not offer the hydration or variety that can be infused via IV therapy, but specific nutrients can be administered this way. These are once monthly injections, with the exception of Lipotropic MIC, which can be done once weekly for up to 8 weeks.
​
-
B12: Contains vitamin B12. This vitamin is often used for energy, better sleep, and dietary supplementation in vegans/vegetarians.
-
Lipotropic MIC: Contains methionine, inositol, choline, and B12. The amino acids aid the liver in breaking down fats and can potentially lead to an increased metabolism and weight loss.
-
Vitamin D: AKA "sunshine in a shot", often used for seasonal mood support, immunity, and strong bones.
