Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is inserting an IV catheter into a vein. The IV catheter is then connected to an IV fluid bag which contains vitamins and minerals. IV therapy is the most effective way to get vitamins and minerals into your body to help you feel better! While oral supplements are fine, only 10% get absorbed into your body, because your stomach breaks them down. Not only that, but some people can experience nausea and discomfort with oral vitamin supplements. With IV therapy, 100% of the vitamins infused get absorbed into your bloodstream, leaving you feeling more hydrated and healthier without the side effects!
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes! IV therapy is safe for most everyone depending on medical history/current medications. Our questionnaire is required for you to fill out. These questions will determine if IV therapy is safe for you to receive.
