Q: What is a therapeutic dose ?
A: Different doses of vitamins exert different effects on the body. A minimum dose of vitamin C is required to prevent scurvy, while a high dose has profound helpful effects on your immune system. A medium dose of magnesium is a muscle relaxant, while a high dose acts as a laxative. High doses of oral vitamin C are laxative, but IVs are not.Q: How are IV vitamins helpful?

Q: How do I decide what I need in the IV?
A: Unfortunately, today’s doctors are thoroughly trained in how to treat diseases with pharmaceuticals but learn only the minimum recommendations (RDA) of vitamins and nutrients. Our formulator was the editor of a natural medical publication for over 13 years. He personally edited hundreds of case study articles on the safe and therapeutic application of IV vitamins written by practicing physicians during his tenure. This unique experience provides you with the safest and most effective dosage and application.
Unless recommended otherwise, we suggest starting with vitamin C.
Q: How often can I get an IV?
A: IVs can be given daily or even continuously if needed. We usually recommend starting once a week to build up your body.
Q: How does technology help with getting an IV?
A: We utilize the latest in infrared vein locators and/or ultrasound to locate the easiest vein, avoiding valves and other unintended structures. This minimizes bruising and soreness.
Taking vitamins by capsule or tablet may not be absorbed due to (GUT) barriers.
