IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy Specialist

What is IV vitamin infusion therapy?

IV vitamin infusion therapy administers minerals and nutrients intravenously through a small needle and into a vein. When the nutrients enter your body, they bypass your digestive system, allowing for a greater uptake by your cells. Studies show that the body absorbs 90% of nutrients administered intravenously, compared to just 50% of nutrients consumed orally.

What conditions benefit from IV vitamin infusion therapy?

At Family Care & Wellness, the team uses IV vitamin infusion therapy to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Dehydration
• Fatigue
• Jet lag
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Cramps and muscle spasms
• Chronic fatigue
• Migraines

You might also benefit from IV vitamin infusion therapy if you develop an upper respiratory infection like the common cold or the seasonal flu.

What does IV vitamin infusion therapy involve?

IV infusion therapy commonly includes vitamins (Vitamins C, B1, B6, B12), minerals (calcium, magnesium), co-enzymes (NAD+), and antioxidants (glutathione). IV therapy has been used for decades to help improve issues such as fatigue, inflammation, dehydration, decreased immunity, nutritional deficiencies, post-exercise recovery, age-related joint pain, and many other benefits. 

Depending on your needs, your provider might recommend the:

• Myers’ Cocktail
• Immune booster
• Energy booster
• Metabolic booster
• Glutathione booster
• NAD+ booster

Each of these vitamin fusions contains different ingredients designed to minimize uncomfortable symptoms, restore your energy levels, and encourage whole-body health.

How should I prepare for the IV vitamin infusion visit?

Most infusions can be completed in less than 45 minutes , and you don’t need to do anything other than sit back and relax.  Here are a few recommendations prior to your visit:

Hydrate. The infused vitamins and minerals are concentrated, and can be dehydrating at the cellular level. Your body will be more responsive if you are hydrated prior to your infusion.

Eat. A protein snack before or during your visit can help support your metabolism during your high-nutrient infusion.

Wear Comfortable Clothes. It would be wise to wear a short sleeve top or sleeves that can be rolled up above the elbow, along with comfortable pants and socks. 

Bring a tablet, book, or music. Most infusions take approximately 30 minutes, but NAD+ may take up to 2 hours. 

While receiving the infusion, you can read a book, take a nap, or play on your phone. There’s no recovery period, so when your infusion finishes, you can return to work or other normal activities right away.

When will I experience the results of IV vitamin infusion therapy?

IV vitamin infusion therapy is a cumulative treatment, meaning your results improve over time. Some people experience increased energy and improved mental clarity immediately following their first appointment. For others, results take days or even weeks.

To get the most out of treatment, follow your provider’s instructions carefully and attend each follow-up infusion as prescribed.
