Intravenous (“IV”) therapy is the administration of fluids, medications, vitamins, and/or minerals directly into the bloodstream. This is done by inserting a needle or cannula into a vein (typically in the forearm, wrist, back of the hand, or top of the foot).
Your body normally absorbs nutrients slowly over the course of time. However, IV therapy allows your body to rapidly absorb nutrients at higher doses. This can lead to quick hydration and replenishment of vital nutrients, making it particularly beneficial for individuals seeking immediate relief from dehydration, fatigue, or nutrient deficiencies. Moreover, elective IV therapy can be customized to individual needs, allowing for tailored solutions to support overall wellness, boost energy levels, and enhance recovery after strenuous activities or illness. The infusion procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Prior to your treatment, a nurse will discuss your health goals and your medical history with you. If you have any serious medical conditions, then you may be required to provide recent bloodwork, physician clearance, or further testing prior to receiving IV treatment.
IV therapy and any claims made about IV infusions have not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical disease. IV therapy is not a substitute for your physician’s medicalcare.
