What is Vitamin IV Therapy?

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t consume your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, let alone experience their valuable benefits. Nutrient IV Therapy is a safe and effective way to receive natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids direct to the bloodstream. The 30 to 90-minute session enhances your energy, improves your overall mood, and helps prevent future health conditions caused by stress, malnutrition, and dehydration. IV vitamin therapy can improve your energy, athletic performance, nutritional status, and overall well-being.

fountain of youth

get healthier skin, nails and hair.

How you treat yourself in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond determines how you’ll look and feel in the next decades of your life, but statistics show most people don’t nourish their bodies correctly, impacting their outward appearance greatly. Manage how you age with this vitamin infusion.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 43% of American adults don’t drink enough water a day. 36% of them only drink 1 to 3 cups, while 7% don’t drink any at all. In another report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 2/3 of American adults eat fruit less than 2 times a day, way lower than needed, while only 3/4 eat vegetables less than 3 times a day. Malnutrition and dehydration affect how your skin looks tremendously.

The Fountain of Youth nutrient IV drip helps compensate for that. Immediate benefits include:

Rehydrate your skin after excessive sun exposure to avoid wrinkles.
Replenish your body with nutrients that nourish your hair, skin, and nails so they appear healthier.
Reduce the visible signs of aging and feel better about your appearance.
Detox and eliminate toxins from your system, so you look younger.

natural defense

protect yourself naturally from disease.

Don’t start worrying about your health when early signs of aging or sickness occur. Start doing something now while you can still be active. This vitamin infusion boosts the immune system big time. This way you can avoid expensive doctor visits and exams while living a longer, more fulfilling life. Nutrient IV drips help you avoid getting sick, while motivating you to travel more, participate in sports, or even pick up a new hobby like yoga or Zumba. Most people don’t realize the impact excellent nutrition can have on our overall mood and productivity. That’s partly because many people don’t eat enough fruits and veggies or drink the recommended amount of water in the first place. In a world where eating out, drinking multiple cups of coffee, and relying on prescription medicine is the norm, no wonder it’s hard to find energy to do something fulfilling.

The Natural Defense nutrient IV drip benefits include:

Avoid getting sick by fueling your immune system with high-impact nutrients to keep you resilient.
Obtain powerful antioxidants to fight against airborne illnesses floating around work or home.
Maintain a healthy nervous system and improve the cardiovascular function of the body.
Improve your body’s ability to withstand stress, intense levels of work or travel.

the executive

Feel sharp and mentally alert at work and after hours.

It isn’t normal to always feel mentally drained and exhausted after work. Our bodies are designed to sustain intense physical and mental activity if we replenish it properly. This vitamin infusion improves your energy levels and mood. This allows you to enjoy the best life has to offer well after you clock out of work. But still, most of us live stressed out from juggling too much to get ahead.

Remember that stress is a silent killer. Initially it causes poor decision-making, sharp declines in performance, limited creativity, mood swings and even conflict with those around you. Before your know it, it attacks your immune system and makes you age quicker, too. This vitamin IV drip strengthens your immune system so you can fight seasonal allergies, mild colds, or even the flu if taken consistently.

The Executive nutrient IV drip benefits include:

Feel sharper and clearer to perform daily activities with precision.
Improve your overall mood, so you can be more productive during your workday.
Get energy to exercise or pick up a hobby after hours.
Combat stress by feeling relaxed and in control over your tasks.
Avoid getting sick by keeping your immune system strong and healthy.

Rise and shine

Get over your hangover in under an hour with this vitamin infusion.

Once in a while, we’ll have one drink too many or not get enough sleep for whatever reason. Though common, these situations make your body suffer from shear dehydration, putting your cells at risk of sickness. This is why you feel groggy and unmotivated to do anything the day after. The fact is your brain needs to reset, so you can function.

The Rise and Shine drip helps you recharge your body after staying out way too late under the stars. Not only does it keep your body hydrated, it also amps up your energy levels so the immune system can continue fighting against germs or viruses that can cause you harm.

This IV drip pairs powerful nutrients such as Vitamin B6 with Magnesium Chloride to detoxify your cells, while giving you the willpower to get back up and running as normal.

The Rise and Shine nutrient IV drip benefits include:

Avoid headaches, dizziness after a long night with little to no sleep.
Obtain the energy to bounce back, be productive and get things done.
Empower your immune system to protect you, so you don’t get sick.
Hydrate your brain and other organs, so you can function completely without putting more strain on your body.
Be alert and ready to take on your day.

glutathione

Lighten your skin with this master antioxidant.

Also known as the “body’s super hero”, glutathione is one of the most vital antioxidants in the body that protects cells from disease, while making your skin look brighter and more beautiful. Consistent glutathione IV infusions can help you brighten your skin complexion. Unfortunately though, things like a poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections, and radiation all deplete the body’s glutathione levels. This leaves us susceptible to cell disintegration from oxidative stress and free radicals, exposing our bodies to infections and cancers.  

Our ability to produce and maintain a high level of glutathione in our bodies is critical to recovering from chronic illnesses. It helps us prevent disease, maintain optimal health, as well as improve our overall performance. Raising glutathione levels in the body can decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance, and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.  

Glutathione recycles antioxidants in the body, playing a vital role in the detoxification process in our bodies. This regenerative antioxidant is so powerful that when at appropriate levels in our bodies it can keep us optimal. Most people see immediate benefits on the skin, often times lightening or whitening the skin complexion to a more desireable skin tone.   One of the best ways to obtain glutathione in your body is intravenously.

Vitamins such as Vitamin B, B6, B12, folic acid, and Vitamin C are vital for the body’s ability to produce glutathione. Nutrient IV therapy provides a fast and effective way to absorb these nutrients in your body.   While a healthy diet and lifestyle can help to slow the body’s decline, supplementing these with regular glutathione IV infusions can help stimulate the body to produce more and thus maintain health and slow down the aging process.

Glutathione nutrient IV drip benefits include:

Improve skin complexion over a series of glutathione drips by minimizing melanin
Look and feel younger by keeping your cells healthy and strong
Empower your body’s detoxification process, so you operate effectively
Encourage cell revitalization and regeneration
Improve overall body energy and metabolism
Detoxify the liver and cells, so you’re protected against diseases

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment Consultation

Attire-Please wear a shirt that can roll-up above your elbow to allow access to your arm.
Hydrate before every IV. The more hydrated you are, the more easily accessible your veins are, making for a more comfortable treatment.
Have something to eat. Some of the vitamins and minerals can have a temporary blood sugar and blood pressure lowering effect, which can make you feel light headed during or after you IV if you haven’t eaten.
Get moving. If we are sedentary right before an IV, our vessels are more difficult to access.
Allow yourself enough time. Give yourself enough time to arrive so you can get comfortable and relaxed prior to your treatment. This will make for a more enjoyable experience.

Your Appointment

During IV hydration therapy you rest in a comfortable, reclining chair. You’re welcome to look at your phone, read a book, or simply relax. Your provider gently inserts a tiny needle into a vein in your arm to infuse fluids and often nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption. Each treatment might last 30-90 minutes, depending on the IV drip you are receiving. Please plan to be here for a minimum of 1 hour.

Afterward, you may feel better and have more energy immediately, with continued improvements over time.

Aftercare

what to expect after your treatment

Many people experience an increase in energy, mental alertness and over all sense of wellbeing immediately following their IV treatment. These effects may be subtle or may not be noticed until the next day or days following treatment. You may require several IV treatments before you begin to experience a benefit.
Chronic stress, illness, lack of sleep and poor eating habits, can all contribute to nutrient depletion. Without adequate nutrition, metabolism inside our cells becomes sluggish, leading to a buildup of waste product inside the cell. IV therapy delivers high doses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids directly into the blood stream that readily cross cell membranes to ‘kick-start’ cellular metabolism. It is therefore normal to experience mild fatigue, headache, nausea or light- headedness following your IV treatment. This is especially common after your first few IV treatments, as your body works to clear any stored metabolic waste products.

You may continue with your daily activities, including exercise following your IV treatment. It is important to continue to stay hydrated and eat regular meals.
Minor bruising of the IV site is common and should resolve within the week. If you experience redness, swelling or pain of your arm or at your injection site, please contact us right away. If you have any questions or concerns following your IV treatment, please contact our office to speak with one of our IV Therapist

FAQs

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?

The most common IV complication is known as an infiltration, which occurs when IV fluid leaks into surrounding tissues. Infiltration can be caused by dislodgment of the IV needle, most often by patient movement. Although this is a non-serious complication, it is important to keep your arm still during your treatment to prevent discomfort and delay to your treatment.

HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?

Our nutrient IV’s take approximately 30-90 minutes for the drip to be fully administered.

WHAT WILL IT FEEL LIKE DURING MY TREATMENT?

During your IV, you may experience coldness, stiffness, and sensation of pressure or tingling from your fingertips, up your arm and into your chest. You may also taste or smell the vitamins; often they are described as having a metallic quality. These sensations are normal and to be expected. They will resolve immediately following your IV.

Let your IV Therapist know right away if you experience any discomfort during your treatment including burning, stinging, aching or feelings of nausea or light-headedness. We have many solutions to improve your comfort!

WHAT ARE THE NUTRIENT IVS MADE OF?

Nutrient IVs are similar to IV’s you would find at your local hospital. They all consist of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, which are found in the body naturally. Adding these nutrients gives the body more of what your organs need to function properly.

HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I DO IV THERAPY?

None of our IV’s contain toxins that are found in medicine or pharmaceuticals, so no one experiences an overdose of any kind. If you are healthy, theoretically it is safe for daily use.

Realistically, most people do not put such high demands on their bodies where they would need daily nutrient IV Therapy. Our most frequent dosage is a bi-weekly program. But you should tailor your IV Therapy to your lifestyle.

HOW SOON SHOULD I FEEL THE EFFECTS?

Depending on your nutritional and hydration status you may see dramatic effects after the first IV. People who get IV’s regularly will feel less dramatic effects as their body starts to obtain optimal hydration and nutritional balance.

IS THIS PROCESS PAINFUL?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. While some people find needles to be relatively painless, others will find it a bit painful. For these patients, we have ways of making the process more comfortable. However, this procedure is in no way excruciating. We use a smaller needle than what is used in children’s hospitals.

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO THIS?

If you retain fluids, have kidney problems, or suffer from certain health conditions, you should not engage in nutrient IV Therapy.

We always recommend that you check with your primary care physician if you’re unsure. However, anyone with a healthy history can safely obtain its benefits.

Is there any potential reaction to receiving a nutrient IV while on other medications?

Negative reactions are slim to none, since this procedure is proven to be advantageous and safe. Either way, everyone is monitored and if some discomfort begins, we will simply monitor you over time and stop if necessary.

Most people respond favorably to the therapy, feeling energized and alert from the beginning.

IS IT AN EXPENSIVE TREATMENT?

IV Therapy is a premium service that improves your body’s performance enormously. It is an investment, so if you compare the price against the benefits you receive from it, you’ll find it’s worth it.

Users agree that preventative medicine such as nutrient IV Therapy strengthens their immune system, helping them avoid expensive doctor visits and prescription medication that come from something like a severe cold or allergy.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER THE TREATMENT IS DONE?

After your session, you can go about your day as you would normally. There are no restrictions. We recommend that you exercise, meditate, eat healthy meals, stay hydrated, and get enough rest daily.

Experience the divine, natural beauty & healing wellness that you deserve!
