IV Hydration 101

---

IV hydration therapy is a safe procedure performed by licensed and experienced staff where a small plastic catheter is inserted in a vein and secured. A hand made mixture of select vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, and medications are mixed with normal saline and infused into the body.

IV hydration therapy is much better than normal oral vitamins and supplements because it does not have to process through the GI tract to be absorbed. Oral pills have to be broken down and absorbed in the gut tissue then it makes its way to the blood and on to the cells. People with the healthiest guts can only process and absorb 30-50% of the vitamins and supplements ingested. With IV hydration, our vitamins go directly to the blood stream and into the cells. You absorb 100% of what you take in. If your body is not deficient in a supplement or vitamin received, it will simply discard what is does not need in your urine.  

It is not recommended to be infused more than 2 times a month unless your are a active athlete and perform intense workouts 4-5 days a week. We suggest consulting your primary care physician before doing any more infusions.  

Everyone's body is different and how you feel may be different than another persons experience. You should be able to taste and smell the IV Fluids and its ingredients immediately. Some people have reported a strong tingling sensation all over their body. Immediate increase in mental clarity and energy have been reported. All the active ingredients are rushed directly to the cells and put to work immediately.  

B-Complex

B Complex is a powerful combination of essential B vitamins (B1- thiamine, B2- riboflavin, B3- niacinamide, 

B5

B5 is a pantothenic acid, B6- pyridoxine) these vitamins boost energy and enhance the immune and nervous system, as well as decrease stress and anxiety.

Biotin

Biotin plays a crucial role in carb, fat and protein metabolism. Biotin has been linked to improved hair health and maintaining proper function of the nervous system. It’s important for your skin, hair and nails.

Vitamin B2 Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin is a vitamin that is needed for growth and overall good health. It helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy, and it allows oxygen to be used by the body

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is involved in the process of making serotonin and norepinephrine, which are chemicals that transmit signals in the brain. Serotonin and Norepinephrine are vital to mental health and wellbeing. Vitamin B6 is also involved in the formation of myelin, a protein layer that forms around nerve cells.

Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid, is one of the most important vitamins for human life. It’s necessary for making blood cells, and it helps you convert the food you eat into energy.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 converts carbohydrates into glucose in the body, thus leading to energy production and a decrease in fatigue and lethargy. Vitamin B12 is also used for various health and wellness applications like boosting red blood cell production, and helping to regulate sleep, mood, and appetite cycles.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C Provides protection against immune system deficiencies. Plays a role in oxidation/reduction reactions (eliminating toxic “free radicals”).

Glutathione

Glutathione is naturally produced in the body. Raised levels of glutathione decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development. Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system because it recycles antioxidants.

L-Glycine

L-Glycine regulates blood sugar levels, and thus glycine supplementation may be useful for treating symptoms characterized by low energy and fatigue, such as hypoglycemia, anemia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Magnesium

Proper magnesium levels maintain normal muscle tissue, regulates heart rhythms, support immune function, and keeps nerves functioning properly. helps regulate energy metabolism, maintains blood sugar, and regulates calcium levels

MIC/B12

Sometimes called Lipotropic B12, (methionine, inositol, choline, methylcobalamin) helps with the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. Your body uses methionine to make proteins and other amino acids which help in weight loss, sugar metabolism, and normal function of your immune system. Choline works to prevent accumulation of fat in the liver and vascular system. Inositol improves insulin sensitivity, which is helpful in muscle building and fat loss. A lack of vitamin B12 can cause memory loss, dementia and numbness in the arms and legs.

NAD+

NAD+ Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells and required for fundamental biological processes-it helps turn nutrients into energy as a key player in metabolism and it helps proteins in their regulatory processes. NAD+ works rapidly to repair cells throughout the body and neurons in the brain. NAD+ influences gene expression relating to DNA repair, cell death, and certain anti-inflammatory processes.

Toradol (Ketorolac)

Strong, non-sedating anti-inflammatory medication for aches and pains.

Zinc

Zinc has a lot of other useful benefits for your body! It is essential in supporting immune system functions and necessary for human health. On a cellular level, it helps prevent the invasion of unknown pathogens into the cell.

Zofran (Ondansetron)

Fast acting, powerful anti-nausea medication.
