Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy

Boost your body from within by supporting health and wellness at a cellular level.

Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy (also known as intravenous micronutrient therapy and hydration therapy) is a way to give high concentrations of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This allows for a much more rapid absorption and utilisation of the higher doses of the vitamins and minerals when compared to taking them orally.
