IV Therapy is administered intravenously into the bloodstream, allowing it to act quickly. A needle or catheter is inserted into the vein, and medical tubing connects to a bag of IV fluid. IV therapy is typically administered by an RN or a doctor; however, a doctor should authorize its use. 

When it comes to IV therapy, there are options. The IV therapies we offer are Hydrogen Peroxide, Myers Cocktail, Ozone UBI, Ozone, Chelation, and NAD. Each has different health benefits, so it is important to gain a basic understanding to point you in the right direction. A diagnosis from a doctor will ensure you receive the right IV with the right amount of ingredients for your individual needs. The decision point will depend on many factors, such as your age, current medical condition, severity, and medical history.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when deciding where to get your IV is what amounts/doses of nutrients are being used. The amounts being used will make a difference, not only in price point but results achieved. Thus, it is important to go to a doctor who takes time to know your personal challenges and needs, so that you get the right IV and formula for you.

Myers Cocktail

Myers Cocktail IV Therapy is popular to do before an athletic event or just to re-energize. They are also known as the hangover cure. The late John Myers, MD, designed the formula for conditions such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, upper respiratory infections, seasonal allergies, Etc. Today, there are many different formulas, but typically they include Vitamin C, B-Complex, Calcium, and Magnesium. However, other ingredients can be added, such as Potassium B5, B6, B12, Glutathione, and Zinc, but it should be based on individual medical needs.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide IV Treatments, with a tiny dose of peroxide, maybe half a teaspoon in a bag of IV fluids, can be excellent in helping our body get rid of microbes and issues that are sensitive to hydrogen peroxide.

NAD IV Therapy

NAD IV Therapy is known to improve brain function and has anti-aging properties. It can also help improve mental clarity, quality of sleep, reduce depression, lower stress levels, and boost energy. NAD is often used with addiction recovery to drastically reduce withdrawal symptoms in persons detoxing from drugs or alcohol. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an amino acid that plays a critical role in the cellular mitochondrial function. A naturally occurring coenzyme, NAD is found in every cell, giving the body the energy it needs to survive. NAD levels decrease with age, and this can potentially damage DNA.

NAD can be very expensive, depending on the amount used and what other ingredients are added. Amounts of NAD may vary, but typically can be anywhere from 250 mg to 1000 mg. It is possible to add electrolytes, B complex, B12, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Glutathione, and Zinc, but again, this should be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Ozone Therapies

A highly reactive form of oxygen, Ozone is composed of 3 oxygen atoms. Ozone IV Therapy can be used to treat disease by inactivating bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa. Ozone therapy enhances your body’s healing energy capacity through a simple process of exposing blood, along with sterile saline, to the proper amounts of oxygen and ozone.

Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) heightens the body’s immune response, improves blood flow and circulation, and has both anti-infection & anti-inflammatory effects. Ozone and UBI complement each other when used to improve clinical outcomes. Combining both can increase the immunomodulatory effects, thereby decreasing pathogenic loads.

Who would benefit from IV Therapy?

IV therapies can be life-saving, and they may help you get well, especially if there is an infection or a lot of inflammation in the body. IV’s can improve overall health, performance, and chronic health situations.

IV’s are very safe and generally have no side effects. Occasionally, one may experience some discomfort, bruising, itching, or redness at the site of insertion that could last a few minutes or a few days. The benefits of Intravenous (IV)Therapies outweigh any side effects.
