IV Nutrient
Therapy
Fluids, vitamins and minerals given through an IV, chosen from our menu.
Drip names are menu names, not a description of what a drip does. IV vitamin drips aren’t FDA-approved to treat or prevent any condition, and results and benefits are not guaranteed.
What is IV nutrient therapy?
IV nutrient therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into a vein through a small IV line, instead of by mouth.

Common, usually minor, side effects at the IV site include soreness, bruising or a cool feeling in the arm. Some ingredients can cause warmth, flushing or light-headedness during the drip. Less often, a vein can become irritated or an infection can develop, and rarely an allergic reaction can occur. Tell us right away if something doesn’t feel right.
Common questions
Does it hurt?
You’ll feel a quick pinch when the IV is placed. After that, most people feel little more than a cool sensation in the arm.
How do I choose a drip?
We go over the menu with you when you arrive. You don’t need to decide beforehand.
