What is IV therapy?

IV therapy delivers nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line.

When you ingest minerals and vitamins through food and drink, they take time to absorb when traveling through your digestive system. They can also cause side effects like pain, indigestion, diarrhea, and nausea.

With nutrition provided through IV therapy, you bypass the digestive tract and get the nutrients delivered directly into your bloodstream at maximum potency without the annoying and undesirable side effects that can accompany oral medications.

What does IV therapy consist of?

While your provider can tailor IV therapy to a specific need, the four most popular therapies are:

Energy and Detox Support

Includes Vitamin C, Magnesium, B complex, B5, B6, B12, and Glutathione

Immune Support

Includes Vitamin C, Magnesium, L-lysine, Taurine, B complex, B5, B6, B12, and Glutathione

Advanced Immune Support

Includes high doses of Vitamin C and Magnesium

IV iron

Used for the treatment of anemia or low iron levels

What can I expect during an IV therapy session?

At Integrative Care 360, IV therapy includes a tiny needle and line attached to a bag of fluids.

During your IV therapy session, qualified staff inserts an IV into a vein in your arm. If you are a hard stick, don’t worry. Dr. Turner and her specialized team are qualified to utilize ultrasound to ensure success.

Once an IV is established, the bag of fluids slowly empties into your body at a controlled rate to replenish your lost nutrients while you sit back and relax. 

A typical nutrition infusion can last between 30-60 minutes. Depending on your depletion, some IV infusions require multiple treatments to feel beneficial. Remember, some treatments have you often return for additional sessions.

What are the benefits of IV therapy?

IV therapy offers numerous benefits, including:

• Quickly achieve blood concentrations of nutrients in the body
• Maximum absorption directly into the bloodstream
• Bypass the digestive tract
• Treats multiple conditions

Dr. Turner and her team create targeted IV therapy protocols that provide specific nutrients to treat deficiencies and help your body naturally heal. 

IV therapy can treat dehydration, infections, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and anxiety. Your provider can also tailor IV therapy to address specific health care needs.

Are IV infusions safe?

IV infusions are generally safe when administered by trained professionals, but risks may exist. Careful assessment and monitoring by healthcare providers are essential for safe use.

How often can I get an IV infusion?

Generally, it is recommended to get an IV infusion at least once every two weeks. It is always recommended to speak with your healthcare profressional to discuss the optimal treatment plan for your specific needs.
