IV Hydration and IV Vitamin/Nutritional Therapy

What is IV Hydration Therapy? What is IV Vitamin /Nutritional Therapy?

IV hydration therapy involves rapidly replenishing the total body water content in your body. IV vitamin/nutritional therapy involves delivering a unique combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients into your body via an intravenous (IV) infusion, oftentimes called a “drip” since they are given in addition to a large volume of IV fluids. The micronutrients directly enter your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive and gastrointestinal tracts allowing for up to 100% absorption.
