What exactly are IV Vitamin infusions?

What is IV Vitamin therapy?

IV Vitamin Therapy involves administering fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) line. This method quickly replenishes lost fluids and essential nutrients, bypassing the digestive system for faster results. IV Vitamin therapy is becoming more mainstream across the nation and we are here to help you decide if this is right for you or not.

In an article by the University of Colorado (2023), the author compared several articles and concluded that he foresees an increase in people obtaining these services to provide a new way of supplementation. When it comes to safety of IV Vitamin Therapy the article states that " the overall risk as far as we know is low". When it comes to figuring out whether the IV Vitamin infusion place is safe there are a few questions you should ask before getting started.

1. Who is inserting the IV? What is their title?

2. How long have they been practicing their profession and infusing IV Vitamin infusions?

3. How many clients to 1 nurse (practitioner) is allowed at one time?

4. Is the staff able to explain the benefits, disadvantages, possible side effects of the micronutrients?

5. How do you feel in their presence? Do you feel seen and heard or do you feel like "just another client"

The question commonly asked is whether IV hydration therapy services are worth the hype and the answer can vary by individual. 

In my opinion, the pros of IV hydration outweigh the cons. IV hydration can be particularly beneficial for athletes needing rapid recovery, those suffering from dehydration, and individuals seeking relief from hangovers, fatigue, or chronic illnesses. I have personally witness the improvement of side effects & symptoms in my clients who keep coming back. When it comes to cons, it's minimal. The biggest con is experiencing slight discomfort from the “little poke” while inserting the IV catheter.

However, I believe the average American puts their body through way more dangerous, questionable and unhealthy exposure, whether that's intentional or not. When it comes to choosing to live and be healthy by stepping out and trying new things to see if they work for you.
