The Complete Guide to IV Vitamin Therapy
May 12, 2022
It can feel like a full-time job trying to keep your body healthy and give it the proper nutrients and vitamins. It is so easy to become too busy at work or too invested in our social life to prioritize our body’s health and needs.
Vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, amino acids, hydration, antioxidants, and electrolytes are just a few of the many nutrients your body requires daily to function at its best. We all want to look and feel the best that we can, so there must be something that we can do to give our body the nourishment it needs that doesn’t take up all of our time.
Luckily, there is a solution that will allow us to ensure our body is receiving what it needs without tracking our micronutrient intake obsessively. IV vitamin therapy is one of the most direct and effective means of delivering nutrients to your body without trying to keep track of countless vitamins, supplements, and powders to take on a daily basis.
IV vitamin therapy has boosted in popularity in the last few years, and for a good reason. Giving you healthier skin, boosting your immune system, and curing hangovers are just a few things this therapy does. However, you might be wondering: is it too good to be true? Is it really that easy to give my body exactly what it needs?
Let’s dive into IV vitamin therapy and determine if the hype is worth it.
What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?
IV vitamin therapy allows nutrients to be administered directly to the body through an IV. An IV bag is filled with a saline solution, electrolytes, vitamins, and nutrients and administered to you through an IV in your arm or hand.
This is much more efficient than taking vitamins orally because this allows them to bypass the digestive system, where many nutrients can disappear and not be absorbed. With IV vitamin therapy, the nutrients or vitamins you need can get directly to work in your body and provide visible results much more quickly.
This method is also helpful for people who experience digestive issues, as it is more difficult for them to naturally absorb vitamins and nutrients. Similarly, other factors diminish your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and vitamins properly.
The most common factors include:
- Age
- Metabolism
- Health status
- Genetics
- Interactions with other products
These are reasons you might want to look into the most efficient way for your body to absorb vitamins: IV therapy.
Is IV Therapy Safe?
IV therapy has many benefits to its users, and there are no known risks involved with the body's ability to absorb a high concentration of vitamins and nutrients.
However, there are a few minor risks associated with the needle injection itself. These risks and side-effects are present whether you are having blood drawn for a lab test, having an IV administered for a hospital procedure, or receiving IV vitamin therapy.
With any IV or shot, you always face the possibility of an infection. Any time you puncture the skin, you’re opening up the body to outside pathogens, leading to complications.
Similarly, it can take a few tries to find and puncture the vein with all injections. Even if the IV is successful on the first try, some slight bruising, redness, or swelling around the injection site can occur.
Overall, there are minor risks associated with IV vitamin therapy, but the risks do not exceed those of any other injection.
Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy
As we have already figured out, IV vitamin therapy is the best way for your body to most efficiently absorb vitamins and nutrients. However, what happens to your body once those vitamins and nutrients are absorbed?
Let’s dive into the top six benefits of an IV vitamin therapy treatment.

Refresh and Regain Clarity
It is extremely difficult to get through the day if you are experiencing brain fog or a lack of motivation. It is so easy for us to run ourselves down with work, social plans, and family obligations, and this leaves our body lacking in nutrients and performing sub-optimally.
With a Refresh IV therapy treatment, we will supply your body with the proper hydration and vitamins necessary to regain mental clarity and physical ability.
This is a great option if you have had a big week at work, an athletic competition that wore you down, or if your schedule has been jam-packed and you haven’t had time to take care of yourself.
Hangover “Cure”
It is the worst feeling to wake up after a night of fun and feel like your body is deteriorating. A hangover should never deter you from spending time and drinking with your friend, and we’re here to make sure that never happens.
Although you can eat carb-loaded food and drink large amounts of water, nothing will boost your hangover like a Rescue IV therapy treatment. This treatment will properly hydrate your body and provide a sufficient amount of electrolytes. Not to mention, take away any nausea, headache, or reflux you may have leaving you feeling re-energized.
Provides Antioxidants
Oxygen in our body can form free radicals, which are naturally occurring molecules that can contribute to a whole host of health conditions, including depression, heart disease, and cancer. However, antioxidants are substances that protect your body from those free radicals, which means antioxidants are a necessity for your body.
Instead of frequently looking up the nutritional information of all of your food, choose a less stressful, more reliable route and incorporate our Antioxidant IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy into your life. This treatment will give your body electrolytes, a megadose of Vitamin C, and Glutathione which will all contribute to controlling these damaging free radicals.
Enhance Your Appearance
We spend so much time buying makeup, expensive skincare, botox, and other appearance-altering products, but maybe it’s time to focus on giving your body the vitamins and nutrients it needs.
With our Beautify IV therapy treatment, your body will receive a load of B vitamins, anti-inflammatory nutrients, and an additional multivitamin pack that will rehydrate, replenish and restore.
After receiving these vitamins and nutrients, your body may naturally reduce the signs of aging, improve the health and strength of your skin, hair, and nails, and may rejuvenate your appearance from the inside out.
Flu Relief
Studies have even shown that IV therapy is may help aid in temporary relief for COVID-19 and other viral infections. When you have the flu or the cold, it can sometimes feel like nothing really helps. You have tried every over-the-counter medicine available, but you just can’t kick the extreme nausea that you are feeling.
If that rings true to you, it might be time to try our Flu Relief and Food Poisoning Relief Treatments. These treatments will fight nausea and supply your body with vitamin C and other vitamins and electrolytes that help you get over your sickness.
