IV Drip Therapy – Frequently Asked Questions

Empowering Your Journey: Common Questions Answered

What’s the difference between a Myers’ Cocktail and a NAD+ infusion?

The Myers’ Cocktail is a classic blend of vitamins and minerals—including B-complex, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium—designed to support overall wellness, immune function, and energy.

NAD+ infusion, on the other hand, delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme critical for cellular energy, DNA repair, and neurological function. NAD+ is often used to support brain health, anti-aging, and detoxification at the mitochondrial level.

Are these services safe?

Yes. Our IV drips are formulated and administered by licensed medical professionals in a clinical setting. We use sterile, medical-grade ingredients, and all patients are screened for contraindications prior to treatment. Minor side effects like mild bruising or lightheadedness are rare and typically short-lived.

Will insurance cover the cost of the procedure?

Currently, IV drip therapy is not covered by insurance because it is considered a wellness or elective service. All treatments are cash-pay, and pricing is transparent prior to booking.

How long do the effects of IV drip therapy last?

Most people feel benefits like increased energy, mental clarity, or hydration within hours of their infusion. Effects can last anywhere from 3–7 days, depending on the drip formulation, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. For targeted outcomes like immune support or recovery, regular sessions may offer sustained benefits.

Is there research supporting the use of IV drip therapy?

Yes, there is growing evidence to support IV use of specific nutrients in clinical settings—for hydration, nutrient repletion, and adjunctive therapy. For example, NAD+ has been studied for its role in mitochondrial health and neuroprotection, while vitamin C and magnesium have established roles in immune modulation and energy metabolism. However, research on elective or wellness-based IV therapy is still emerging and may not be FDA-reviewed for all indications.

Who is a good candidate for IV drip therapy?

IV drip therapy may benefit individuals who:

Feel fatigued or mentally foggy

Want to boost immunity, energy, or recovery

Are preparing for or recovering from travel, stress, or illness

Have difficulty absorbing nutrients due to gut issues

Are looking to support mental performance or detoxification

It’s also a popular option for high-performing professionals, athletes, and those pursuing holistic or functional health goals. We’ll help you choose the right drip based on your needs.

How long does an IV drip appointment take?

Most IV sessions take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the formulation. NAD+ infusions may take longer (up to 2 hours) and are often titrated based on patient tolerance. You'll be able to relax in a comfortable setting while we monitor you throughout the infusion.

Do I need to prepare before my appointment?

We recommend eating a light meal and drinking water beforehand. Wear clothing that allows easy access to your arms. If you’re receiving NAD+, avoid caffeine the day of your infusion to minimize any side effects.

Can I get an IV drip if I'm sick?

Yes. Many patients use IV therapy to support immune function or speed up recovery from colds, flu, or fatigue. However, if you have a fever, vomiting, or serious illness, we may advise rescheduling or referring you to your primary care provider.

How often should I get an IV drip?

Frequency depends on your goals. Some clients come weekly or bi-weekly for energy or performance support, while others schedule as needed—before travel, after a night out, or during flu season. We’re happy to recommend a plan tailored to your lifestyle.

What’s the difference between IV therapy and taking oral supplements?

IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This allows for 100% bioavailability and more rapid effects, especially in people with gut absorption issues, chronic stress, or nutrient deficiencies.

Will I feel the effects right away?

Many people report feeling more energized, focused, or hydrated shortly after treatment. NAD+ and detox blends may take longer to show subtle effects but can lead to noticeable improvements over several sessions.

Can IV therapy help with hangovers?

Yes! We offer targeted blends with fluids, electrolytes, anti-nausea medications, and liver support nutrients to help replenish and recover quickly after alcohol consumption or dehydration.

Is IV therapy suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

We do not administer IV drips to pregnant or breastfeeding individuals unless under direct order from your OB/GYN. Some ingredients may not be appropriate, and we prioritize safety above all.

Can I receive more than one IV drip in a single visit?

We typically administer one primary drip with optional add-ons like glutathione or extra vitamin B12. Multiple full drips in a single session are not recommended unless medically indicated.

If I need infusion of a medical drug, such as for inflammatory bowel disease or a rheumatologic condition, can you serve as an infusion center?

Yes — in some cases, we can serve as your infusion provider. If you have a prescription for an infusion-based medication (e.g., biologics for IBD, rheumatoid arthritis, or other chronic conditions), we may be able to obtain the medication through a specialty pharmacy or your insurer and administer it in our clinic. We work closely with referring physicians to ensure safety, monitoring, and coordination of care. Please contact us with details about your diagnosis and medication to explore your options.
