IV Therapy Benefits — Frequently Asked Questions
The primary benefits of IV therapy include: 100% nutrient bioavailability (vs. 20-50% oral absorption), near-instant hydration and electrolyte restoration, high-dose vitamin and mineral delivery, customizable formulas for specific health goals, and convenience through mobile service options.
The underlying science of IV nutrient delivery is well-established. The bioavailability advantage is proven — IV delivery achieves 100% absorption vs. limited oral absorption. Studies on specific components like high-dose vitamin C, magnesium, and B vitamins support their clinical efficacy. The Myers' Cocktail has decades of clinical use with published research supporting its application.
Most patients notice benefits within 30–60 minutes of starting an IV drip. Energy improvements, headache relief, and improved hydration are typically felt during or immediately after the session. Some benefits (skin improvements from glutathione, NAD+ anti-aging effects) develop over multiple sessions.
IV therapy is commonly used for: hangover recovery, dehydration, athletic recovery, immune support, migraine management, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia symptom management, pre/post-travel wellness, anti-aging protocols, and skin brightening. It is complementary care — not a replacement for medical treatment of specific conditions.
High-dose IV vitamin C and zinc, as delivered in immunity drips, support immune cell function at concentrations impossible to achieve orally. Research supports the role of high-dose IV vitamin C in immune modulation and antioxidant protection. However, no IV therapy should be used as a substitute for standard medical care for serious infections.
