What can I expect at my initial visit?During initial visit, we will go over your medical history and our nurse practitioner will perform a physical exam to determine if you qualify for an infusion/injection. Certain lab testing may be required before proceeding with initial infusion/injection. Then if you qualify for an infusion/injection one of our licensed professionals will then seat you in one of our chairs. During this time, you can recline, read, listen to music on your headphones, work from your computer, and just take time for you to relax. Your vital signs will be checked before and after infusions. If receiving an IV infusion, an IV then will be placed. Location and size of IV catheter depends on each individual’s anatomy and type of Infusion they will be receiving. Qualified staff will then begin your infusion.

-
Why is IV Infusions better than taking fluids, vitamins, and medications by mouth?Through the IV/IM route, the IV fluids, vitamins, and minerals bypass the gastrointestinal tract and go directly to the blood stream. There are many benefits to this such as: Faster uptake, better absorption, when your acutely ill N/V can prevent oral intake, individuals with impaired digestive tracts and malabsorption problems can get the optimal vitamins and minerals necessary, as we age our ability to absorb vitamins worsens which can lead to deficiencies, smoking, alcohol, and drug consumption can all affect absorption which can lead to deficiencies.

-
How long do IV vitamins last in our systems?Everyone is different. It depends on metabolism, level of deficiency, and many other factors. Research does show that vitamins and minerals are still present at higher levels up to two weeks after an infusion.
-
Is IV Vitamin Infusions and Injections safe?Yes, we only use reputable and accredited compounding pharmacies for our ingredients. All infusions are administered by licensed professionals who have gone through IV Vitamin Therapy Training.
-
Are there side effects?Side effects can happen, but are rare. If they do they are usually minor and short lived. Bruising or bleeding at IV site, warming or cooling sensation in arm, tasting the vitamins, or having vitamin smell in your urine. While many patients say they often feel better with more energy, others may notice they initially feel tired while their body is receiving antioxidants, as they are essentially getting their cells “cleaned”. Our licensed staff are trained to manage all side effects that may occur.
