What can IV Therapy do?
Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy Overview
IV vitamin therapy is a versatile and efficient method for delivering fluids rich in vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into the bloodstream. This approach bypasses the digestive system, resulting in higher nutrient absorption compared to oral supplements. IV therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty retaining fluids due to illness or other medical conditions.
Applications of IV Therapy
IV therapy can be utilized for various health needs, including:
- Dehydration
- Fatigue
- Colds and Flu
- Altitude Sicknes
- Hangovers
- Migraines
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Headaches
- Vitamin Deficiencies (such as B12)
- Food Poisoning
- Athletic Training and Recovery
- Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation
Duration of IV Fluids in the Body
The duration that IV fluids remain in the body depends on several factors, including the patient's general health and the specific type of IV therapy administered.
Is IV Therapy safe?
Safety Considerations for IV Therapy
IV therapy is generally a safe procedure when administered correctly. Safety concerns typically fall into two main categories: IV administration and the contents of the IV solution.
- IV Administration: Ensuring that IV therapy is performed by qualified personnel is crucial. It's important to choose a provider with licensed medical professionals, such as registered nurses, who are trained in proper IV placement and administration. This reduces the risk of complications and ensures the treatment is administered safely and effectively.
- IV Contents: The composition of the IV solution is equally important for safety. When selecting an IV therapy package, it's essential to review the list of ingredients. The IV fluid should primarily contain saline, essential vitamins, minerals, and any medications necessary for symptom relief. It's important to avoid any unnecessary additives or substances. At Green IV, we prioritize our patients' well-being and safety by using only the vitamins and medications that are beneficial and necessary for the best possible outcome, without including any extraneous treatments

How often should I get IV Therapy?
This depends on what you want to achieve with vitamin IV therapy:
- Weekly IV drips are used for detox or wellness treatments.
- Multiple IV infusions over the course of a few days help bring symptom relief to people suffering from illnesses.
- Occasional IV treatments are used by people suffering flare-ups of medical conditions, such as migraine or arthritis. For instance, migraine attacks may be lessened in severity or even prevented with timely IV therapy.
- IVs are also ideal for temporary conditions such as athletic recovery, hangovers, or dehydration from excessive sun or heat exposure.
- It is most optimal to infuse for overall wellness every 2-3 weeks
Does insurance cover IV Therapy?
