What is IV hydration therapy?

---

IV hydration therapy, or intravenous hydration therapy, is a technique that involves delivering fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals directly into the bloodstream through a vein. This method not only allows for faster absorption of essential nutrients compared to oral intake.  IV or IM therapy provides nearly 100% absorption of these nutrients, compared to only 20-30% when injested orally.

The primary component of IV hydration therapy is a saline solution, which typically contains a balanced mixture of water and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium). This helps rehydrate the body and restore electrolyte balance.

These are minerals that carry an electric charge and play a crucial role in various physiological functions, including maintaining fluid balance, regulating nerve and muscle function, and supporting overall cellular health.

Depending on the specific formulation used, IV hydration therapy may include additional vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. These nutrients can contribute to improved energy levels, enhanced athletic performance and recovery times, improved immune function, and overall well-being.

By administering fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV hydration therapy bypasses the digestive system. This results in quicker absorption and allows the body to rapidly benefit from the infused nutrients

Many individuals seek IV hydration therapy as a proactive measure to enhance overall wellness and athletic performance. Athletes, in particular, may use it to optimize hydration status, replenish nutrients lost during intense training, and support recovery.
