IV therapy is all the rage on social media right now … but what is it really? We’re here to break down what it entails, what it’s used for and what the benefits are.
IV therapy is a quick and efficient way to administer fluids and vitamins into your body. By receiving a liquid mixture of vitamins and minerals through a small tube inserted into a vein, nutrients are absorbed quickly and directly into the bloodstream. This method provides higher levels of the vitamins and minerals in your body than if you got them from food or supplements. Higher levels of the vitamins and minerals in your bloodstream leading to greater uptake into cells, which use the nutrients to maintain health and fight illness.
What’s it used for?
IV therapy is being used for a wide variety of health concerns. Many people are also using it for quick rehydration after sporting events, to cure hangovers and for improved skin clarity. Other uses include resolving dehydration, boosting your immune system, ridding your body of toxins and increasing energy levels.
Benefits

When your body starts to try and get rid of the excess fluids, it can lead to you flushing out many of the nutrients your body needs. IV therapy allows your body to absorb and retain nutrients and fluids and is easier for your body to handle.

This type of treatment is designed to get these immunity boosters to the parts of your body where you need them most.
– Necessary Hydration
Beyond being thirsty, dehydration can cause symptoms like dry skin, joint pain and muscle soreness. Unfortunately, getting enough liquids to replenish your body is a real challenge if you are only drinking fluids. IV therapy can rapidly improve these with an influx of fluids and nutrients to flush toxins from these areas and restores them to full health. Replenishing your body with these essential nutrients can help you recover from fatigue, promote anti-aging and begin performing at peak levels.
– Reduced Recovery Time
Hydration is critical to the recovery of your body. When your workouts are intense, you are losing more than just fluids. Drinking water isn’t enough. You also need to replenish your electrolytes and other lost nutrients. Hydration IV therapy allows you not only get hydrated but also can refresh and replenish your body with the nutrients you need right away.
– Improved Cognitive Function
At the earliest signs of dehydration, your brain begins to slow down. You don’t process information as quickly, and your memory may become impaired. Fluids keep your brain functioning properly and allow you to make better decisions. However, the brain is one of the last places to get hydrated when you are only drinking fluids. IV therapy improves your cognitive functions much faster than just drinking water.
