What is IV Therapy?
IV therapy, also known as vitamin IV therapy, is a health and wellness treatment that gives patients a rapid infusion of fluids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutrients. Because IV vitamin therapy bypasses the gastric system (stomach) via intravenous access, allowing immediate results. Nutrients are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, and patients do not have to wait for the effects as they are digested.
Intravenous multivitamin therapy uses combinations of ingredients to boost energy, the immune system, metabolism, and more. Other choices include anti-aging drips or rehydrating drips. IV therapy can flush toxins from the body, balance hormonal levels, boost immunity, improve skin health, and boost the body’s energy. Although you may have heard concerns about the safety of IV drips, this is a safe treatment when performed by a medical professional like our nurse practitioner, Dana, and it offers many benefits with immediate and long-term impact.
