Many clinics offer consultations—either by phone or online—to help you choose the most suitable hydration or vitamin infusion based on your needs. These consultations can provide personalized guidance and ensure you get the best results.
Liquid I.V. typically begins to take effect within 15 to 30 minutes after consumption. This rapid hydration is due to its formulation, which combines electrolytes and glucose to enhance water absorption in the body. The exact time can vary based on individual factors such as metabolism and hydration levels.
Generally, no special preparations are required. However, it’s advisable to be well-hydrated and have eaten something before your session. Always consult with the provider for any specific instructions.
After an IV drip, it’s best to avoid intense physical activity, alcohol consumption, and excessive caffeine for at least 24 hours. These can interfere with hydration and the effectiveness of the treatment. It’s also important to keep the IV site clean and dry to prevent infection.
An IV therapy protocol is a standardized plan that outlines the type, dosage, and frequency of IV infusions based on individual health goals or conditions. Protocols help ensure safety, effectiveness, and consistency, and are often developed by medical professionals based on factors like hydration status, vitamin deficiencies, or wellness goals.
IV therapy add-ons are optional vitamins, minerals, or medications that can be included in your IV drip to enhance its benefits. Common add-ons include B12 for energy, glutathione for detoxification, and zinc for immune support. Your provider can help you choose the right add-ons based on your health goals.
IV fluids typically stay in the body for a few hours to a day, depending on your hydration levels, metabolism, and overall health. While the fluids themselves are absorbed quickly, the benefits—like improved hydration and nutrient levels—can last several days.
