Q. What are the benefits of IV Therapy?

A. By giving your cells the nutrients they need to function properly, tissues can recover faster from injuries and workouts, energy and focus improve, and your immune system can fight off bacterial and viral infections more effectively. IV Therapy will help you to remain in peak mental and physical shape. Many people notice the beneficial effects immediately following an infusion.

Q. Why should I do this, when I can just take vitamins?

A. Taking supplements by mouth must be digested through the GI tract and then absorbed.  IV nutrients bypass the digestive tract and go directly in the blood, so you can absorb over 100 times the nutrition. This is especially important for anyone with a digestive tract disorder, because absorption may have been impaired for many years and so getting the nutrient status back up is almost only possible with IVs.
