What is IV therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a way to obtain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that you need for good health. It involves resting as a thin tube transfers a bag of fluids and nutrients into your bloodstream. There’s no digestion process, so you absorb the ingredients immediately. Many patients feel better by the end of their IV drip.  

What types of IV therapy drips are available?

Prosperity Internal Medicine offers IV therapy drips for many needs, including:

Fighting sickness 

If you have the flu, another virus, or a stubborn cold, an IV drip can help you bounce back using ingredients like vitamin C. 

Anti-aging 

The anti-aging drip provides nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a living biomolecule. The body’s NAD+ levels go down with age, but replenishing NAD+ can improve cellular regeneration, enhance mental clarity, and help you function better as you age. 

Appearance

As you age, you might experience hair, skin, and nail changes. IV drips containing vitamins B, B6, B12, folic acid, and vitamin C can rehydrate and revive healthy hair, skin, and nails while reducing visible signs of aging. 

Beating a hangover 

Dehydration, headaches, and tiredness are all common in hangovers. A drip containing vitamin B6, magnesium chloride, and other nutrients can rehydrate your body while relieving your symptoms.  

Detoxifying your body

Detoxifying drips use ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), an ingredient that removes heavy metals from your blood. This produces a compound that you can flush out. Detoxification can strengthen your cardiovascular system. 

Athletic recovery

Athletic recovery IVs can help you return to full strength more quickly following a strenuous workout using ingredients like electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, this type of IV can help you exercise longer without crashing.

Long-term health

Long-term health IVs provide a blend of ingredients, such as B12, other vitamins and minerals, and amino acids. This IV helps you stay active and mentally engaged. 

Mental focus

Mental focus IV drips include ingredients such as alpha lipoic acid. They help to replenish your mind and boost your immune system function for better mental focus and plenty of energy. 

When do I need IV therapy?

If you have a vitamin deficiency, feel run down, or want to improve your health quickly, IV therapy can help. The process only takes around 20-45 minutes, and you can schedule sessions whenever needed.
