What are the benefits of
IV hydration?

Immediate effect

Nutrients and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream.

Better hydration

IV Hydration therapy corrects dehydration and allows a greater percentage of H2O to go directly into the body

Nutrients

100% of IV vitamins go directly into the bloodstream without being broken down in the digestive track and losing the full effect of the vitamins.

What do all these vitamins, minerals and medications do in the body?

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that acts as an antioxidant that  helps to protect cells from damage caused from free radicals. It is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the proper functioning of the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.


B Vitamins

  • B-1 (Thiamine)  helps the cells in the body convert food into energy.

  • B-2  (riboflavin)  helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply. Riboflavin helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The human body produces ATP from food, and ATP produces energy as the body requires it.

  • B-3  (Niacin) It plays a role in converting the food we eat into energy. It helps the body to use proteins and fats, and it keeps the skin, hair, and nervous system healthy.

  • B-5  (pantothenic acid) help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which the body uses to produce energy. 

  • B-6  (Pyridoxine)  important for proper cell function. They help with metabolism, creating blood cells, and keeping cells healthy.

  • B-12  a nutrient that helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. 

ZINC

Zinc is found in cells throughout the body. It helps the immune system fight off invading bacteria and viruses. The body also needs zinc to make proteins and DNA, the genetic material in all cells. During pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, the body needs zinc to grow and develop properly.

CALCIUM GLUCONATE

 Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium gluconate is used to prevent or to treat calcium deficiencies.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. It is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.

GLUTATHIONE

Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in your body. That means it helps combat free radicals. These are molecules that can damage your body's cells. Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in your body.

TORADOL (KETOROLAC)

Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ( NSAID) that is used to treat moderately severe pain and inflammation.

ZOFRAN (ONDANSETRON)

Zofran is used to prevent nausea and vomiting.
