IV infusions allow essential vitamins and nutrients to bypass the harsh environment of the stomach and inconsistencies of gut absorption; guaranteeing direct bloodstream delivery to the organs and tissues that need them the most.
Do they really work? Is this just another fad?
IV infusion therapy is not a fad. Research has proven the benefits of direct supplement repletion which include enhanced immunity, recovery, and nutrient utilization.

Not to mention, the huge relief of financial burden on the individual client and the healthcare system at large by avoiding unnecessary and costly trips to the emergency room or urgent aid.
