WHAT IS IV THERAPY?



DID YOU KNOW?
Vitamins are very important to your health. They boost your immune system, support growth and repair at the cellular level, while giving your body energy. While consuming vitamins orally is beneficial, the body’s natural absorption process can render up to 85% of that vitamin useless. This means only 15% of the active nutrients may eventually find their way into your bloodstream. By receiving an IV, the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly and immediately help the body to heal. Through intravenous therapy, you get much higher concentrations of nutrients delivered directly to your body’s cells, allowing your body to better absorb and utilize these nutrients.


MOST OF US ARE DEHYDRATED!
Getting enough fluids in a day is really difficult! Most of us are dehydrated and IV therapy is the fastest and most effective way to get rehydrated.

There are many benefits to IV hydration. The body is 60% water and we often times improperly hydrate with sugary beverages and lattes.


HOW DOES IV THERAPY WORK?
The use of an IV bypasses the digestive system and allows for 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants into the bloodstream and at much faster rates. Administration through an IV will also result in fewer side effects which can result from taking high doses of certain vitamins and minerals orally, including upset stomach or intestinal problems such as cramps, nausea, or diarrhea. This technique is safe and one of our licensed healthcare associates will administer your IV during your visit. The administration of each IV takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete, varying depending on your unique needs.
