IV therapy, short for intravenous therapy, involves administering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, allowing for rapid absorption of nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This ensures maximum effectiveness and quicker results compared to oral supplementation.

Our vitamin therapy infusions are formulated with a blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants tailored to support various health needs.

When administered by trained healthcare professionals, IV therapy is generally safe. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or allergies may not be suitable candidates. It's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing IV therapy.
-
The duration of an IV therapy session varies depending on the specific treatment and individual needs. Typically, sessions can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Side effects of IV therapy are rare but may include minor discomfort at the injection site, bruising, infection, or allergic reactions. These risks can be minimized by receiving treatment from experienced professionals in a clinical setting, but it’s important to weigh the risks and benefits of any treatment.
-
During an IV therapy session, you'll be comfortably seated while an experienced and qualified member of our staff inserts a small needle into a vein, typically in your arm. The IV drip will then deliver the selected fluids and nutrients into your bloodstream. Our patients enjoy our private rooms, relaxing chairs, television, refreshments, and amenities like Normatec compression massage to maximize the rejuvenating effects of IV Therapy.

MYER'S COCKTAIL (Defiance Health Version)
Our most popular IV therapy.
This IV infusion includes:
Magnesium: Promotes relaxation of smooth muscle around blood vessels. Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common in the United States. This is partially due to the Western pattern diet (WPD) or standard American diet (SAD), which includes soda (containing phosphoric acid), processed foods and too much coffee — all of which deplete magnesium.
Calcium: Magnesium helps with calcium absorption, and calcium helps with magnesium absorption.
Vitamins B12, B1, B3, and B6: All vital for energy production. Deficiencies in these vitamins have been linked to fatigue, depression, anxiety, and reduced libido. Magnesium’s efficiency is especially boosted by B6 since that vitamin increases the intracellular uptake of magnesium.
Zinc: Boosts your immune system. Supports normal growth during pregnancy, childhood and adulthood. Helps with wound healing. Ensures proper function of taste and smell. Hormone balance including boosting testosterone levels.
Vitamin C: Mops up damaging free radicals. Esfential for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

GLUTATHIONE
Glutathione can be added to an IV or administered as a “PUSH” on its own.
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in the body and has many important functions, including:
• making DNA, the building blocks of proteins and cells
• supporting immune function
• forming sperm cells
• breaking down some free radicals
• helping certain enzymes function
• regenerating vitamins C and E
• transporting mercury out of the brain
• helping the liver and gallbladder deal with fats
• assisting regular cell death (a process known as apoptosis)
Glutathione supplementation may also have beneficial effects on blood pressure and insulin sensitivity.

IRON IV
Many primary care providers refer their patients to us for IV iron when oral treatment has not been effective.
Oral iron supplementation is usually the first choice for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) because of its effectiveness and low cost. But unfortunately in many iron deficient conditions, oral iron is a less than the ideal treatment mainly because of adverse events related to the gastrointestinal tract as well as the long course required to treat anemia and replenish body iron stores.
Iron is an essential element as it plays an important role in many vital biological processes:
• synthesis of heme which forms the basis of hemoglobin (Hb) the oxygen-carrying protein of the blood
• formation of myoglobin
• energy metabolism
• neurotransmitter production
• formation of collagen and immune system function
Lack of iron is one of the principal causes of anemia in the general population. It is not surprising that iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
