Not necessarily. Not all vitamins / supplements are absorbed effectively in the digestive tract. Some may even be inactivated by the liver. Intravenous delivery bypasses the digestive tract and can overcome these challenges.
We use very small IV catheters which helps make IV therapy nearly painless! Our health professionals are authorized to perform IV therapy and have many years of experience administering these treatments. They also take great care to minimize the likelihood of adverse reactions, and maximize the potential benefits of treatment.
During your initial consultation, our health professionals will first determine if IV therapy is appropriate for you, as well as which specific treatment(s) are best indicated for you. Not all nutrients and bioactive compounds are compatible with each other, so its best to rely on the experience and judgement of our health professionals!
The infusion time will vary depending on the specific IV treatment; but most treatments can be administered in 60-90 minutes.
Our health professionals will make recommendations for frequency and number of treatments based on your unique health needs.
Many health insurance benefit programs do offer full or partial coverage for IV therapies administered by our health professionals.
