VITAMIN IV THERAPY
What is IV Therapy?
IV therapy is a cutting-edge approach to getting better health, boosting your energy levels, and keeping yourself looking and feeling youthful. IV therapy also works as a preventative measure to stop illness before it takes root. During IV therapy, the contents of a drip bag of medications, vitamins, nutrients, or other health improving supplements are slowly trickled into your bloodstream via a small needle placed into a vein. IVs are used in clinics, hospitals, and IV spas to help people get the maximum benefit of medications or supplements. IV spas support disease and disorder prevention by offering IVs that enhance the immune system and promote whole-body health.
What Makes IV Therapy So Effective?
When you take medication, supplements, or vitamins orally, those substances pass through the stomach and liver, where they lose some of their bioavailability. Essentially, there’s less of that substance making it to your tissues and what makes it is less potent. This is called the “rst pass effect.” Fortunately, IV therapy does not have this disadvantage. Treatments given through IV therapy keep their maximum potency and bioavailability for the most effective outcomes. By skipping the digestive tract, IV treatments work faster than oral supplements. That’s why IVs are the preferred method for getting treatments into the bloodstream quickly while keeping their maximum strength. These treatments, called IV infusions or drips, are commonly given on a hospital or outpatient basis for the treatment of injuries or diseases. However, you don’t have to wait until you’re ill before accessing IV drip therapy.
Infusion therapy given at MIXT IV Spa can help you:
- Rehydrate rapidly
- Strengthen your immune system
- Recover from jet lag
- Restore electrolytes and vitamins
- Recover from too much alcohol
- Get healthier, glowing skin
Our medical professionals provide IV therapy and IV hydration, including the popular Myers cocktail, for a variety of health conditions and symptoms.
Does IV Therapy Work?
IV therapy is effective for many conditions. It’s also useful in the prevention of illnesses. Finally, IV therapy can be used to restore and rejuvenate many of the body’s systems. IV therapy is an ideal intervention in many situations. For example, dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea is very common. IV therapy rehydrates a person suffering from vomiting or diarrhea, replacing fluids and electrolytes rapidly and conveniently.
IV therapy is also a prime treatment for hangovers. The famed “Myers Cocktail” replenishes nutrients that can be depleted after too much alcohol. Many conditions like migraines, fatigue, and muscle cramps can be successfully resolved by IV therapy. It’s a great way to get vitamins such as vitamin D, C, the B-complex, and B-12 into your system and to the tissues that need them while keeping the treatment at its full potency.
Medical Literature on IV Vitamin Therapy
There are many studies and literature on IV vitamin therapy for the treatment of a variety of conditions. Such studies that are currently undergoing review include the treatment of cancer cells and cancer using high doses of IV vitamin C. Other research is being conducted on IV vitamin therapy for people who suffer from fatigue, migraines, and asthma. Studies have found that IV vitamin therapy may be effective in reducing symptoms of these conditions.

Is IV Therapy Safe?
When IV therapy is carried out by medical professionals who are trained in proving it, it is safe and effective. Always check the credentials, licensure, and experience of those who provide this kind of medical service for you. Our team of medical professionals can help you decide what treatments are right for you. We’ll go over any risks and the benefits of IV therapy and assist you in making decisions.
How Long Does IV Therapy Last?
There are several things to consider that affect how long an IV therapy session lasts. The medical condition of the person being treated, their age, and the therapy desired are all major factors we take into account.
In a person with overall good health, especially good kidney and heart health, an IV therapy session for rehydration may last an hour—or even less.
Vitamin infusion therapy sessions are also brief, again lasting from 30 minutes to an hour, but some treatments, like NAD+ therapy, may take longer due to the need for it to be introduced into a person’s system slowly.
What is IV Therapy Used For?
IV therapy allows medical professionals to administer specified treatments for many medical conditions and situations.
- Hydration: Many conditions like vomiting and diarrhea can cause a person to lose fluids while being unable to keep liquids down. IV Hydration can return a person’s fluid levels to normal more rapidly and comfortably than other methods.
- Antioxidant functions: Free radicals are small, highly reactive molecules produced when cells are stressed by toxins and pollutants. Free radicals do a lot of harm to cells and can increase the risk of chronic maladies, like heart disease and cancer. IV therapy allows a person to get high-dosage antioxidants, like vitamin C, that reduce and remove free radicals.
- Aesthetics: Some vitamins and complex substances like glutathione and vitamin C are famed for their skin benefits. Glutathione injections in particular helps your skin to become more supple while reducing the signs of aging by evening out skin tone.
- Nutrient deficiencies: If you eat the perfect diet every day, you may not be vitamin deficient, but most of us don’t eat as healthily as we should. That’s where IV therapy really shines. With IV therapy, you can replenish your vitamin levels quickly and conveniently. Most vitamins can be given through IV therapy, including B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, and many others.
- Mineral deficiencies: Low levels of magnesium cause fatigue, insomnia, migraines, and muscle cramps. Restoring your mineral and electrolyte balance through IV therapy is a convenient and effective way to overcome those deficits.
- Postoperative recovery: Surgeries drain the body’s nutrient stores. Some studies have shown that IV therapy may help speed recovery after surgery. Consider that vitamin C by itself is needed for regenerating collagen, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the immune system. Regular hydration is also well-known for speeding healing.
- Sports injuries: IV therapy may improve sports performance while shortening recovery times after sports-related injuries.
- Digestive system issues: Malabsorption of vitamins because of diseases and disorders of the digestive tract is common. Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, pernicious anemia, pancreatitis, and numerous others prevent sufferers from absorbing nutrients and vitamins efficiently.
- Altitude sickness: Altitude sickness can lead to nausea, dizziness, weakness and headaches. Rehydrating and restoring one’s mineral and vitamin levels reduces and eliminates conditions like these.
Does IV Therapy Treat Medical Conditions?
IV therapy excels at treating conditions like infections and wound healing. Antibiotics can be easily added to drip bags and because the medicine reaches the areas of infection at its full strength, healing is more rapid and more thorough. Impaired healing also responds well to IV therapy. The body requires Vitamin C and the trace element selenium for thorough renewal after injuries. Injuries to muscles, like those from sports, also require selenium, which can be hard to get from one’s diet. IV therapy is an easy way to get these rare elements like selenium.
Is IV Therapy Good For You?
Some medical conditions and situations respond well to IV therapy, but it may not always be the best option for everyone. Our team of medical professionals will guide you and help you see if this therapy is the choice for you based on numerous factors, like your current health and the condition in question.
IV Therapy Frequency
Everyone is a little different, which means our medical professionals will take your unique needs and conditions into account while planning a course of treatment. For some issues, like IV vitamin therapy, we will determine what nutrients, vitamins, and minerals you may need. We’ll also determine if any of your habits and lifestyle choices call for additional nutrients.
For example, regularly consuming alcohol reduces B vitamins, magnesium, and thiamine dramatically. These nutrients are required by the brain for its top performance and replacing them with IV therapy can help keep your body and brain in top condition.
Who Can Administer IV therapy?
IV therapy should only be performed by qualied medical professionals such as doctors or registered nurses who have training in IV administration. At MIXT IV spa, IV therapies are only administered by a registered nurse (RN) who has the proper training for administering IVs.
How Long Does IV Therapy Stay In Your System?
IV therapy’s time in your system depends largely on the condition you’re addressing and the treatment itself. As an example, IV vitamin therapy flows rapidly through the body, restoring fluid balance and vitamin levels. Your body will then eliminate it via urination. Of course, the length of treatment, your health conditions, and the dosage have an effect on the duration of a therapy’s stay in your system.
How Much Does IV Therapy Cost?
The cost of each supplement depends on the treatment that is being receive, its amount and duration. In general, our IV therapies cost between $150 to $300. Some IV therapies including NAD and certain antibiotics do cost more.
