What is IV Vitamin Therapy?
Intravenous or IV Vitamin Therapy is a method of infusing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into your body. When we ingest supplements by mouth, only about 30% of the nutrients are actually used by the body. That’s because a number of factors affect absorption of nutrients in the gut, including the quality of the supplements and state of our health. Intravenous nutrition therapy allows up to 93% absorption of quality micronutrients, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream.

How is IV Therapy Performed?
Following a thorough consultation with our board certified doctor, a small band is placed around the upper arm while the patient lays/sits in a comfortable position. The inner elbow is swabbed with alcohol and allowed to dry. A very small catheter is placed into the vein and tubing is attached.
The tubing, which is connected to a specially formulated bag of IV solution, is then opened and the fluid drips into the vein over 30-60 minutes (depending on the medications in the bag). Once the IV infusion is complete, the patient is free to resume their normal activities immediately.
FAQ’s
Our IV infusions incorporate vitamins and minerals such as C, B-Complex, Magnesium, Glutathione and many others to improve the immune system and support overall health. The ingredients are formulated specifically to match each patient’s unique needs.
Phlebitis is an inflammatory condition of the blood vessels. This can happen if the contents of the IV therapy are too concentrated and cause irritation of the vessel. The professionals at Alinea Medical take special care during the preparation and infusion of our IV fluids to reduce the chances of developing phlebitis.
