Why drip?
Why not just drink water and take your vitamins?
IV hydration therapy bypasses the GI tract to deliver vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly to the bloodstream. Unlike drinking water and sugary sports drinks, IV hydration provides immediate absorption, so it is delivered throughout the body within minutes.
Quick, easy and comfortable
The process typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the infusion. We give infusions at a safe and comfortable rate. Our licensed registered nurses complete your medical history intake, help you choose the right drip for your goals, and start the infusion as painlessly as possible.
Our ingredients come from accredited compounding pharmacies. Minor side effects may include mild bruising at the insertion site, minor pain with the initial poke, and a vitamin taste in your mouth from certain ingredients.
Boost benefits
B Vitamins
B vitamins play a major role in your body's ability to sustain everyday life. They are involved in metabolism, skin health, your immune and nervous systems, muscle function, and preservation of red blood cells. A deficiency may result from suboptimal nutrition and lead to chronic illnesses. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, nausea and depression, though this may present differently in each person.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced naturally in the body and found in every cell. Its production decreases with age, stress and exposure to toxins. A major benefit of adding glutathione to your drip is detoxification of free radicals (produced after stress and strenuous exercise) to reduce oxidative stress, which leads to faster recovery.
Vitamin C
Humans are unable to make vitamin C, so it is a necessary supplement. Vitamin C is needed to form collagen, the structural protein of connective tissue, skin and bones, and is vital to growth and repair all over the body. It also plays an important role in immune function as a potent antioxidant.
Magnesium
Magnesium plays an important role in hundreds of functions in the body, from energy production and muscle movement to brain function and mood. It also assists in smooth muscle relaxation, leading to stress reduction and better sleep quality.
Biotin
Biotin is a water soluble vitamin the body cannot produce on its own and must get from food or supplements. It helps metabolize fats, carbohydrates and protein, and suppresses inflammation. It is best known for strengthening hair and nails, and it also enhances skin health.
