Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy?
A: IV therapy is a method for delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream. “IV” stands for intravenous, which means the fluid is administered through a tiny needle into the veins. IV therapy is the fastest way to replace fluids and deliver necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids straight to your bloodstream to efficiently be utilized by your body.

Q: What are the benefits of IV Hydration Therapy?
A: The most abundant benefits of IV hydration therapy is that it delivers nutrients directly to the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive system. This is essential because a lot of nutrients aren’t fully absorbed by your gut, especially if you have leaky gut, autoimmune disease, or another condition that prevents optimal absorption during the digestive process. IV hydration therapy is an efficient way to deliver nutrients to your cells, replaces electrolytes lost through dehydration, gives your digestive system a break while still absorbing necessary vitamins and nutrients, provides faster recovery from illnesses if unable to adequately hydrate through drinking water, flushes out toxins, fights inflammation, and improves muscle, join, and skin health.
Q: Is IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy Safe?
A: IV vitamin hydration therapy is a safe and efficient way to quickly provide your body with hydration and nutrients. It is important to note that with our modern lifestyles, high level of stress, and poor soil and water quality, we are getting fewer nutrients from our food than ever before. However, although IV vitamin hydration is a safe and valuable option for improving hydration if needed and for supporting optimal health and wellness, IV vitamin hydration therapy should not be a replacement for regularly drinking enough water or eating a nutrient-dense diet.
Q: How long will the benefits of IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy last?
A: Client’s almost immediately experience a boost of energy. When the body reaches optimal mineral and vitamin levels, it can then support proper metabolism, cortisol levels, cellular health, mood, and sleep. The duration of the effects depends on the person’s current health status, body type, and other physiological factors. On average, the positive effects of IV therapy can be felt for 3 to 4 days after the treatment. But even if you’re not “feeling” any effects, the vitamins and minerals from the IV therapy are continuously working inside your body and cells.
Q: How frequently can I get IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy?
A: We can provide treatments as often as weekly, but depending upon your needs, you may receive benefits from less frequent infusions. We can discuss a plan that fits your needs and one that will yield the best results to support optimal health and wellness.
Q: Can I resume my normal activities after IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy?
A: It is encouraged to continue to drink water and eat nutritionally and keep your pressure bandage on the site for at least one hour following the treatment; but yes, with your newly renewed energy, you can resume your day-to-day activities without any major restrictions.
Q: Are there any negative side effects of IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy?
A: Major side effects are rare. However, any time there is a needle that enters the skin, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site after the treatment. Our licensed nurses take all medical precautions to avoid these common side effects by using proper infection control measures and selecting the proper needle size to minimize discomfort. In addition, some people have a mild metallic taste in their mouth from certain vitamins, may experience a warm/cool sensation during the infusion, or feel flushed or lightheaded which can be avoided by eating and drinking during the treatment.
Q: Who provides IV Therapy?
A: All services are administered by Registered Nurses licensed in the state of Florida who operate under protocols and standing orders approved by a Medical Director (physician) also licensed in the state of Florida.
Q: Does IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy hurt?
A: IV therapy treatments are relatively painless. You may feel a small sting or pinch for a few seconds when the nurse inserts the small needle into your arm or hand. Most of our clients report zero discomfort and our experienced nurses will ensure that you receive the most comfortable treatment possible.
Q: How long does it take to receive IV Vitamin Hydration Therapy?
A: The duration of the actual infusion typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, however, we like for you to plan for 60 minutes to allow time for a brief assessment, including taking your vital signs, and completion of consent for services.
