  3. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
    • Antioxidant supports immune function and collagen synthesis
    • IV doses can range from 1-25 grams or more
  4. Glutathione:
    • Powerful antioxidant supports detoxification processes
    • Typical IV doses range from 600-2400 mg
  5. NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide):
    • Coenzyme involved in cellular energy production and DNA repair
    • IV doses can range from 250-1000 mg
  • Enhanced hydration
  • Increased energy and reduced fatigue
  • Improved immune function
  • Antioxidant support
  • Cellular repair and anti-ageing effects
  • Detoxification support
  • Improved mood and cognitive function
  • Typically administered in outpatient clinics or wellness centers
  • Duration can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the protocol

  1. Efficacy: While each component has known physiological roles, the efficacy of combined IV administration for wellness purposes is not well-established in scientific literature.
  2. Safety concerns:
    • Risk of infection at the injection site or in the bloodstream
    • Potential for allergic reactions
    • Possibility of vein irritation or damage
    • Risk of fluid overload in susceptible individuals
  3. Interactions: May interact with certain medications or medical conditions
  4. Contraindications: Not suitable for all individuals, particularly those with certain heart, kidney, or liver conditions.
  • Not FDA-approved as a combined therapy for any specific condition
  • Individual components are FDA-approved for specific medical indications
  • Often considered a complementary or alternative therapy
  • Limited robust clinical trials on this specific combination
  • Individual components have varying levels of evidence for different uses
  • More research needed to establish efficacy and optimal protocols
  • Headache, nausea, or dizziness (often temporary)
  • Vein inflammation or bruising at the injection site
  • Allergic reactions (rare but possible)
  • Electrolyte imbalances if administered incorrectly
  • Potential oxidative stress with high-dose vitamin C in certain individuals
  • Should be administered under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider
  • Informed consent is crucial, including discussion of potential risks and limitations of evidence

While this IV therapy is gaining popularity in certain wellness circles, it's important to approach it with caution. The scientific evidence supporting its use for general wellness is limited. Individuals considering this therapy should consult with qualified healthcare providers to discuss potential benefits, risks, and alternatives based on their specific health status and goals.

The fluids administered are very effective in restoring hydration levels, but the fluids themselves will be passed through the body within several hours. However, the minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients that are included in IV hydration therapies will be able to provide their respective benefits for anywhere from days, weeks, to even months. The longevity of the treatments heavily depends on what your body needs and if those nutrients are included in the infusion, as those nutrients will provide much longer noticeable results as their levels are heightened.
IV hydration can replenish fluids and nutrients much faster than if you were to drink or eat the same ingredients as the fluids are administered directly into the bloodstream. When we consume vitamins and minerals, it takes a while for the nutrients to be absorbed naturally through our digestive system, and only a percentage of the nutrients will be able to be absorbed. Since IV hydration allows for direct absorption of these essential nutrients, it is a fantastic supplemental option for those who are unable to absorb those nutrients through diet alone. Digestive health conditions such as Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, Celiac disease, or colon cancer benefit heavily from IV hydration and therapies due to the body’s inability to properly digest and absorb nutrients. The IV hydration therapies can easily be customized to include the nutrients that each patient may be lacking or to provide the specific benefits that the patient wants. These potential benefits include increased energy levels, optimized metabolism, a strengthened immune system, faster recovery following exercise or sports, and healthier skin and hair. Some IV therapies are specifically designed to support a treatment plan for specific health conditions, including cardiovascular health, or as part of a weight loss program.
All of the ingredients that are included in IV hydration are healthy and beneficial to patients, often just including essential vitamins and minerals that we need plenty of to be healthy. The only potential risk involved is through the IV administration process, which carries a very low risk of infection, making it a very safe and low-risk treatment. The vitamins and minerals included in the IV hydration treatments are very healthy nutrients that are supplied in healthy levels, so there are no risks associated with the ingredients themselves unless in the rare case, the patient has an allergy to something.
IV hydration provides patients with essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that they may be missing from their diet. Different ingredients can be included in the IV hydration treatment depending on the specific needs of each patient, with the primary goal of restoring proper levels of hydration. When you are engaging in strenuous physical activity, it’s not just water that needs to be replenished to prevent dehydration, many different minerals and vitamins are required for a fast and effective recovery. IV hydration provides those nutrients and the necessary fluids back into the body very efficiently, avoiding digestive problems or dietary restrictions that are common when drinking copious amounts of sports drinks or other types of hydrating beverages. These treatments can also very easily be customized to include the ingredients that would be most beneficial for each patient, minimizing the administration of nutrients that would just be going to waste in those who lack different nutrients.
