IV vitamin therapy, called intravenous therapy or IV infusion therapy, delivers various vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream.
Usually, nutrients pass through the digestive tract, whether you’re taking a supplement or following a whole-food diet. The digestive system processes nutrients, leaving some unprocessed.
When you receive an IV treatment, a healthcare professional inserts a needle into your vein (don’t worry—it doesn’t hurt). A bag filled with nutrients connects to a tube attached to the needle.
Unlike oral supplements, IVs deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream, allowing maximum absorption.
Glutathione IV

This IV detoxifies, immunizes, and enhances your overall wellness. The IV refreshes and erases the blues.

Medically Supervised Sessions
Licensed healthcare professionals perform IV sessions, typically lasting 30 to 90 minutes. Each IV treatment allows you to achieve specific goals through nutrient delivery and cellular support. A medical professional delivers nutrients through a drip.
How long a season lasts depends on the following:
- The type of IV therapy – for example, a Myers’ Cocktail IV lasts about 45 minutes.
- The patient’s health – therapy depends on a patient’s health, age, and weight.
- Nutrient volume – the types of nutrients influence how long a session lasts.
