    1Research IV Therapy & Vitamin Infusions

    IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream for 100% bioavailability — bypassing the digestive system. Popular formulations include the 'Myers' Cocktail' (B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium), NAD+ infusions for anti-aging and energy, glutathione for skin brightening, and custom formulations for immunity, athletic recovery, hangover relief, and beauty. IV therapy has grown from a celebrity trend to a mainstream wellness service offered at medspas, dedicated IV lounges, and even mobile services.
