Frequently Asked Questions
what is infusion therapy?
IV nutritional therapy is a low-risk procedure that consists of administering vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This is effective because the intestinal tract is bypassed, delivering vitamins and nutrients with a 100% absorption rate. This allows the body to use the nutrients immediately where they are needed. When taking oral supplements, our intestines only absorb 30%-50% of the nutrients.
Who should get IV vitamin and nutrient therapy?
Today, it’s used more commonly for patients striving for improved health, whether that be to help avoid the next flu virus or simply to have more energy throughout the day. It is safe, effective and restorative. In a perfect world, we’d all drink enough fluids and get the appropriate nutrients we need every day. However, that’s not always an attainable goal to achieve. Because of this, many people depend on a solution that can help complement a good diet and proper hydration for living as our healthiest selves. IV therapy is safe for almost everyone and there is a drip for everyone!
Are IV infusions safe?
Yes, IV therapy is extremely safe. Before an individual receives any IV treatment, health history is carefully evaluated and vital signs completed prior to infusion. The nutrients and vitamins used in our infusions are safe doses, performed under strict medical supervision, and most people leave with a feeling of increased energy and well-being. Our infusions are administered by a registered nurse and have oversight from Dr. Patel, our medical director.

How often should i get an infusion?
