Frequently Asked Questions

For many, IV Hydration is new and unfamiliar territory. It can be intimidating to try a new form of vitamin therapy. We broke down the most frequently asked questions here to help you stay informed on this type of treatment.

1. What is IV therapy?
   Intravenous therapy, or IV therapy, is a method of treatment that involves administering vitamins or nutrients via an IV drip.
2. Why select IV therapy over oral supplements?
   There are a variety of reasons as to why patients may opt for IV hydration therapy over taking a pill or tablet. For one, the natural absorption of nutrients is nearly 100% with intravenous therapy, as the vitamins go directly into the veins without passing through the stomach. This can sidestep digestive issues a patient may have, allowing them to supplement vitamins in a more direct pathway.
3. What are the possible benefits of IV therapy?
   Beyond its bioavailability, IV therapy is a viable option for addressing conditions such as severe dehydration. Studies suggest a positive outlook when it comes to patients with nutrient deficiencies and malabsorption conditions. Helping you recharge and refresh your body's nutritional supply is a key aspect of IV therapy, and why many choose to undergo this routine.
4. Who should avoid IV therapy?
   Patients with a history of blood clots, kidney failure, severe or congestive heart failure, and bleeding are not advised to undergo IV therapy. Additionally, if you are currently pregnant or plan to become pregnant, it is not recommended to receive intravenous hydration therapy. Always consult a medical practitioner for advice if you are uncertain about compatibility.
