IV INFUSIONS

What do the infusions do, exactly?
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. The culture of medicine is shifting towards preventative care instead of curative therapies. Ensuring your body has the fuel that it needs to optimize its natural processes can go a long way in maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. 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.

Why not just drink tons of water and take daily vitamins?
With our culture of busy lifestyles, it can be challenging to get in the amount of water, vitamins and nutrients are bodies need to fuel all that we need them to do. IV infusions deliver nutrients directly to the organs that need them the most.

Some clients may need a just few infusions to attain this goal, while others may need incremental regularly scheduled supplements as maintenance.

How soon will I feel the benefits? How long do benefits last?
