Vitamin IV Drips

FAQ

• Why are vitamin IV drips more effective than oral supplements?

  When vitamins, electrolytes, hydration and amino acids are delivered straight into your bloodstream (through an IV) there is an immediate & noticeable positive impact. This impact cannot be achieved with oral supplements.

• How soon will I experience results from a vitamin IV drip?

  Most feel the results of our vitamin IV drips within 24 hours.

• How long does a vitamin IV drip treatment take?

  Most vitamin drips take 20 to 40 minutes. NAD and iron infusions take longer.

• Can I get a vitamin IV drip when I am sick?

  Absolutely. Results are best when you’re feeling depleted, sick, hungover or stressed. Those with migraines often feel relief within minutes after our vitamin IV drips.

• Can I get a vitamin IV drip before a special event or travel?

  Definitely! Many clients come in right before a big event, or long travel to boost their mood, energy and immunity.

• What is the Difference Between a Vitamin Shot and a Vitamin IV Drip?

  A vitamin shot delivers one vitamin into the muscle and does NOT provide hydration. A vitamin IV drip offers at least 10 different vitamins PLUS much needed hydration. If you are feeling sick or depleted, we recommend a vitamin IV drip for maximum results.
