What is Nutritional IV vitamin therapy?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is a treatment that gives your body essential nutrients and fluids through an IV line in your veins. They go directly into your bloodstream, allowing them to be absorbed in a higher concentration by bypassing your digestive tract. Many times with little to no side effects.
IV vitamin therapy is the most efficient way to deliver vitamins and minerals to your body. It also allows for better use of nutrients because there’s no loss of potency. When you take supplements by mouth, the digestive process may interfere with absorption, so you don’t get the full dose.
When given higher doses of nutrients through IV vitamin therapy, your body gets that exact amount.
Connect Integrative Medicine is a primary care practice that takes an integrative and alternative approach to health. The team utilizes many innovative therapies to promote health and wellness.
For IV vitamin therapy, the team customizes your treatment to match your needs and goals.
What nutrients are provided through IV vitamin therapy?

The practice also offers custom-made vitamin therapies to address specific needs, such as recovery, which they recommend for patients before and after surgery. They also offer a hydration IV vitamin therapy that contains electrolytes and fluids for fast hydration.
For stress relief, Connect Integrative Medicine has a vitamin therapy called Cruise Control, which contains a proprietary blend of vitamins, fluids, and electrolytes to reduce stress and help you relax.
What can I expect during IV vitamin therapy?
Before making any recommendations, your provider at Connect Integrative Medicine conducts medical history and physical exams to understand your health needs and goals. They may also run lab work to look for nutrient deficiencies.
They use the information gathered during your exam to create your custom IV vitamin therapy, which they provide at the office.
During therapy, you relax in the treatment chair while your provider inserts an IV line in your arm and starts your infusion. Treatment time varies with each IV, however in general takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Though results vary, you may experience a boost in energy and mood following your IV treatment.
