How it works

What Is IV Hydration Therapy?

In cities across America from Miami to Myrtle Beach, IV hydration therapy is being used by all kinds of people for various reasons. It is a common, low-risk procedure used by doctors, nurses and paramedics to rehydrate the body intravenously, introducing vitamins, electrolytes, and saline, all while bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. In short, it's the fastest, most efficient delivery method to distribute vital fluids and nutrients throughout your body.

How Does IV Hydration Work?

Intravenous (IV) fluid drips deliver this vital combination of saline solution, vitamins, electrolytes, and medications through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. The ingredients in individual IV formulas are specifically blended to address a variety of health needs.

“I Take Vitamins and Drink Plenty of Water”

IV fluids are faster and more effective than oral supplements and medications. Water and vitamins ingested orally have to be digested and absorbed into the bloodstream before they can start making you feel better. Age, activity level, illness, malabsorption issues, stress, and previous gastrointestinal surgery can influence how well your body can absorb supplements and medications when ingested orally. Drinking alcohol also slows the absorption process which is why oral hangover treatments are ineffective.

IV treatments are administered directly into the bloodstream and immediately circulated throughout the body. Your body uses the maximum amount of what it needs and excretes the rest for maximum effect. Since IV drips are delivered into your bloodstream, the saline, vitamins, and electrolytes introduced during IV hydration therapy treatments become immediately available to your cells, greatly decreasing the time it takes for a medication or supplement to take effect.
