What Is IV Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter inserted into a vein. By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy achieves 100% bioavailability — meaning your body receives and can use every milligram of every ingredient, immediately.
While IV therapy has been used in hospitals for over a century, the wellness IV therapy industry has expanded rapidly in the last decade. Today, you can receive vitamin-enriched IV drips in your home, hotel room, office, or even on a yacht — administered by licensed nurses who come to you.
How IV Therapy Works
The process is straightforward:
- A licensed nurse inserts a small IV catheter into a vein in your arm (similar to a blood draw)
- A bag of sterile saline solution — infused with your chosen vitamins, minerals, and medications — drips into your bloodstream over 30–45 minutes
- Nutrients reach your cells within minutes, bypassing the 4–6 hour digestive process that oral supplements require
- The catheter is removed, a bandage applied, and you continue your day
