How We Approach It
The right drip, with the right oversight.
Some IVs begin with a straightforward health screening. Others require physician review, laboratory testing, or additional medical clearance. The level of evaluation depends on the formulation, dose, and your health history.
Start With Screening
Step one · your health history
Every visit begins with a review of your health history, medications, allergies, current symptoms, and hydration status.
- Current medications and supplements reviewed
- Allergies and relevant conditions discussed
- Baseline vitals checked before the infusion
Match the Formulation
Step two · routine wellness options
Foundational hydration and Myers-based formulations may require only routine screening. Ingredients can be adjusted to your goals and tolerance.
- Hydration and micronutrient formulations available
- Ingredients selected for the intended experience
- Dose and rate adjusted to tolerance
Escalate When Needed
Step three · advanced formulations
Advanced therapies may require physician authorization, recent labs, or additional testing before treatment.
- High-dose vitamin C and methylene blue
- PlaqueX® and select NAD+ protocols
- Labs or additional clearance when appropriate
Monitor the Infusion
Step four · comfort and oversight
Your clinical team monitors the IV, adjusts the infusion rate when necessary, and responds to any discomfort or adverse reaction.
- Prepared and administered using sterile technique
- Monitored for the duration of the infusion
- Infusion rate adjusted when needed

The Science Behind It
Real pharmacology, specific applications.
The route is genuinely different. Where that difference translates into benefit is narrower than the industry suggests, and these are the papers that set out both.
Nutrients administered intravenously have virtually complete bioavailability, entering systemic circulation without being subjected to digestive processes. That advantage is real, and it matters most when absorption is the actual problem.
The mechanism, in one sentence
FoundationalReview
To IV or not to IV: the science behind intravenous vitamin therapy
An overview of the physiological advantages and the disadvantages of intravenous vitamin therapy, its clinical applications, and the evidence supporting efficacy. Notable for covering both sides rather than only the case in favour, which is why we point people at it first.

Clinical Context2026
Intravenous vitamin C in severe sepsis
A systematic review of evidence from 2020 to 2025. It reports modest physiological effects while noting that consistent improvement in mortality or length of stay remains unproven, and that outcomes vary with dosing, timing, and severity. A useful illustration of how the evidence behaves even in a serious clinical setting.

MalabsorptionSystematic Review
Micronutrient deficiencies after bariatric surgery
Examines how deficiencies in vitamins K and B12, folate, selenium, zinc, and copper are common following malabsorptive procedures, and the downstream consequences. A clear example of the situation where the intravenous route has a genuine clinical rationale.

Compounding and the FDA
The FDA's explanation of pharmaceutical compounding, how it differs from approved manufacturing, and what oversight applies. Relevant because compounded intravenous preparations must be produced in sterile, regulated conditions, and because wellness indications are not FDA approved.

Where We Stand
The route is real. The indication has to be too.
Intravenous delivery creates a genuine pharmacological difference. The evidence is strongest in targeted applications, which is why we pair a clear formulation menu with a thoughtful clinical approach.
Frequently Asked
Questions answered.
What drips do you offer?
Our menu includes Core Wellness, Immune Defense, Energy & Performance, Gut & Detox Support, NAD+, and select specialty infusions.
Will this boost my immune system?
We will not phrase it that way. Correcting a genuine deficiency in a nutrient your immune system depends on is a real thing. Infusing nutrients you are not short of, in the hope of boosting a system that is already working, is not, and the evidence does not support it.
Can I come in for a hangover?
No. That is a common offering in this industry and it is not one of ours. Fluids help dehydration, which you can achieve by drinking water, and none of it requires a physician or a cannula.
Is it not just expensive urine?
A fair challenge and often true. If you are already replete, your kidneys will clear the excess of water soluble nutrients, and you will have paid for the privilege. If you are genuinely deficient and not absorbing orally, that is a different situation entirely. Establishing which one applies is the point of the evaluation.
Do I need labs first?
Not for every IV. Foundational hydration and Myers-based formulations may require only routine health screening. Advanced therapies may require recent labs, physician review, or additional clearance.
Is it safe?
When properly indicated, prepared, and administered, it is well tolerated. It is not risk free. Intravenous access carries infection and infiltration risk, and high dose nutrients can place load on the kidneys or irritate the vein. Screening and sterile technique are how those risks are managed.
How often can I receive an IV?
Frequency depends on the formulation, your goals, health history, and how you respond. We will recommend an appropriate schedule rather than applying one frequency to everyone.
Is it covered by insurance?
Generally not, as most of this is elective. Some diagnostics may be eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement, and we can provide documentation for submission.
Is it included in membership?
IV therapy is offered as a separate service. Ask our team about current member pricing and available options.
