Frequently Asked Questions on IV Therapy
IV therapy involves the administration of fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. This method allows for quick absorption and can be used for rehydration, nutrient supplementation, and various health benefits.
Our RNs (Registered Nurses) insert a thin plastic tube into the vein. The drip bag is then connected to the tube to deliver the mix of vitamins, amino acids, anti-oxidants and fluids. Majority of drips take 45 to 60 minutes to administer; however, there are some vitamins which need to be pushed slowly and may take longer than 1 hour. When booking online, you'll be able to see our available schedule and estimated amount of time that it will take to complete the IV.
IV therapy is painless and safe. All the vitamins are FDA-approved and are administered by registered nurses under the guidance of medical doctors. However, there are cases where a specific mix of vitamins and nutrients should be avoided if other medications are being taken. As part of the booking service, you'll have the option to provide all necessary information for us to review and determine the best mix of vitamins.
IV therapy benefits may include increased energy, metabolism, weight loss, immunity, detoxification, memory improvement, anti-aging, beautification, and more. Vitamin deficiency is a leading cause of various allergies, lower immunity, slower metabolism, and high stress. While supplements can address deficiencies over time, IV therapy may be the fastest option for quick results.
Yes, IV Therapy is administered with a doctor's approval. Best IV works with multiple doctors and NPs; you won't need to receive a doctor's prescription on your own as we'll review your request and medical history with our doctors. Once approved, the nurse will come at the specific time to administer the IV Drip.
All our treatments are customizable, allowing you to add any vitamins available within the Custom Drips section. You can request a custom drip online, and we’ll provide the total cost and advise on the best options.
AlmaVitalize provides the maximum dosage of vitamins in our treatments to save you money and time. We are happy to share the dosages for each blend, but rest assured that we don't skimp on anything. For example, the Myer's Cocktail contains 3000mg of Vitamin C, which can be increased to 6000mg. If a higher dose is needed, we can schedule a session where Vitamin C is pushed alone.
Most drips take less than an hour to administer. NAD IV normally takes 2-3 hours for the half dose and 4-6 hours for the full dose.
