IV Fluids

What are IV fluids?

Administering IV fluids, also known as IV vitamin therapy, is an in-office treatment that administers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream via intravenous means. Because IV fluids enter your bloodstream directly, they bypass your digestive tract altogether. This allows you to access many more of their health benefits than you would taking oral vitamins or nutritional supplements

What are the benefits of treatment IV fluids?

Treatment with IV fluids presents an array of benefits, including:

  • Improved physical wellness

IV fluids deliver vitamins, hydration, and nutrients directly to your bloodstream. This allows for 100% bioavailability. This 100% bioavailability means your body gains access to all of the IV fluids’ beneficial properties and nothing goes to waste.

  • Improved skin health

If you’re dehydrated or deficient in certain vitamins and nutrients, your skin is more likely to wrinkle and sag. IV fluids promote hydration, encouraging skin rejuvenation. IV fluids also improve your skin’s elasticity and promote the growth of newer, healthier skin cells. 

  • Increased energy levels

Dehydration is one of the leading causes of fatigue. When you’re adequately hydrated, you feel energetic and think more clearly. In addition, IV fluids boost cognitive function and decrease tension and anxiety associated with dehydration.
