How Do IV Therapy Treatments Work?
Intravenous therapy, commonly known as IV therapy, involves delivering essential vitamins, minerals, medications and other nutrients to your bloodstream through a drip or injection into your vein. When vitamins are delivered directly to your bloodstream instead of being ingested orally, they can be more potent and effective, as they don’t travel through your digestive system first.
Although getting an IV treatment is a pretty straightforward process, you may have some questions before you commit to it. IV Elements has the answers you’re searching for and the information you need to put your mind at ease.
When Should You Get IV Therapy?
People get infusion therapy for a wide range of reasons. We offer drips for several health conditions, like migraines and Alzheimer’s disease, or that cover less serious symptoms, like hangovers and fatigue. Other drips help enhance your body and mind through weight loss, skin and hair care or performance recovery.
In short, you should get IV therapy whenever you think it could benefit you. Some of the most common reasons people come to IV Elements include:
- Dehydration
- Hangover cures after a night out
- Wedding parties before the big day
- Treating a migraine to get back to work faster
How Does IV Therapy Work?
IV therapy is a simple procedure when a trained professional administers it. At IV Elements, we use a team of registered nurses to deliver our services. Most providers have a drip lounge where people come to receive their treatment. However, many people who use IV therapy are immunocompromised or don’t feel well enough to leave their homes, so mobile IV therapy has grown in popularity.
With mobile therapy, the IV administrator comes to you, whether you’re at home, in the office or anywhere else you can comfortably get your drip. The administrator will bring everything they need to take care of you — all you have to do is get comfortable and find a book, TV show or something else to occupy you during treatment. Before inserting the IV, the nurse or doctor will do a quick vitals check to ensure you’re in suitable condition for a drip. Once they’re satisfied, they’ll get to work.
After you’re connected to the IV, you’ll be free to read, catch up on work or do anything you want while staying in place. How long your therapy lasts depends on the specific treatment you choose, but most can be done in less than an hour. On-site therapy works in much the same way, except you come into the drip lounge and go through the process there.
What Is in an IV Vitamin Drip?
Every IV has the same base ingredient — saline. Saline is a mixture of water and sodium chloride, which aids in the absorption of hydration and nutrients. In a hospital, you’d likely receive a drip of pure saline to keep you hydrated. IV vitamin therapy can offer much more, though.
The exact composition of your infusion depends on what effects you want, but some of the most popular nutrients and medications in our drips include:
- B-complex vitamins: This powerful combination of vitamins B-1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12 and other antioxidants is key in maintaining many of your body’s daily functions, including DNA production, brain and nerve function and metabolic processes.
- Vitamin C: A high dose of vitamin C helps your body fight off disease and neutralize free radicals like pollution and UV rays.
- Glutathione: Also known as GSH, glutathione reduces inflammation, enhances DNA production and supports functions in the brain and immune system.
- Magnesium: Magnesium can help with anything from migraines to heart health to diabetes. Since most people don’t get enough magnesium orally, an infusion of it may be just what you need to restore your levels.
If you want the added benefits of a certain ingredient, but it’s not in the drip package you’ve chosen, you can also add it to your order as a concentrated vitamin booster. Learn more about how certain additions can assist in different diseases.
How Long Does It Take for IV Therapy to Work?
For many of our clients, one of the main reasons they choose this type of treatment over others is its’ expedient effects. Since the nutrients in a vitamin drip enter your bloodstream immediately, some people report feeling its effects before they finish their IV therapy appointment. These elevated levels can remain for many days, improving your feelings of mental and physical wellness.
While some of the effects of infusion therapy have a near-instantaneous impact, most users find they reach their peak in effectiveness after multiple rounds of treatment. If you’re interested in seeing the best IV Elements has to offer, our nurses will work with you to develop a custom treatment plan for repeated vitamin drips to target the symptoms you’d most like to treat.
Is IV Therapy Safe?
IV therapy works exactly like any IV hydration you might receive in a doctor’s office or hospital. The main differences with IV vitamin drips are that they’re much more nutrient-rich and are administered outside of a medical setting. That doesn’t make them any less safe, though.
Our registered nurses each have years of experience in administering IV fluids and taking all the necessary precautions to provide a safe infusion therapy experience. All our tools are sterile and fresh for your use, and our drips feature only natural, effective ingredients your body will love.
