IV infusions are a safe and effective way to rapidly deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream. Originally developed for use in hospital or outpatient settings to treat severe dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, and deliver certain medications, IV therapy is now widely used in wellness care to support energy levels, immune function, skin health and surgical recovery.
Who is a Candidate for IV Infusions?
You may be a good candidate for IV infusions if you’re experiencing fatigue, frequent illness, dehydration, or trouble absorbing nutrients from food or oral supplements.
Vitamin IV therapy is ideal for patients who want to boost energy, improve mental clarity, or support recovery from surgery, illness, or physical exertion.
Intravenous vitamin therapy can also help manage symptoms related to asthma, high blood pressure, or upset stomach, especially when standard routes of supplementation are ineffective. Those with vitamin B12, vitamin C, or amino acid deficiencies often benefit from the rapid absorption that only an IV line can provide.
The IV Infusions Process
At your appointment, Allyson Pennington, DNP, or another licensed healthcare professional will review your medical history and wellness goals to select the right vitamin infusions for you. After a brief assessment, an IV fluid line will be placed, typically using peripheral line placement for direct vascular access. A tube attached to an IV drip bag will deliver a fluid directly into your blood vessels, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring optimal absorption.
Formulas may include vitamin C, vitamin B12, magnesium sulfate, and other essential vitamins and nutrients to hydrate the body, enhance immune response, and support healthy skin. In some cases, intravenous micronutrient therapy may be used for patients treating acute asthma or other medical conditions.
Expected Results with IV Infusions
Most patients report an immediate energy boost, improved focus, and better hydration after treatment. Because intravenous multivitamin therapy avoids common issues with oral digestion, higher doses of nutrients can be administered safely and effectively.
Benefits of IV vitamin therapy may also include promoting healing pre and post operatively, improved immune system performance, better management of blood pressure, and quicker recovery from illness or jet lag. Regular IV therapy may also
promote glowing skin, faster metabolism, and relief from fatigue—making it a powerful, often underestimated entity in wellness care.
