IV Hydration/Vitamin Infusion Q & A

What is IV hydration?

IV hydration is an outpatient procedure that restores your body to balance. It involves your Total Wellness Healthcare Clinic provider administering fluids through a needle and into a vein. Often, the infusion contains vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients designed to improve your health and well-being.

What are the types of IV hydration?

Total Wellness Healthcare Clinic offers several types of IV hydration, including:

• Vitamin infusions: An estimated more than 92% of Americans have at least one nutritional deficiency. If your body doesn’t have the vitamins or minerals it needs to thrive, you’re more likely to experience illness and injury. A vitamin infusion increases the number of nutrients throughout your body, boosting your immune system and well-being.
• Hangover or jet lag infusion: After a vacation, long-distance travel, or weekend of partying, it’s normal to feel exhausted and dehydrated. A hangover infusion is a type of IV hydration specifically formulated to reduce symptoms of dehydration like headache or fatigue.
• Immunity boost: An immunity boost IV contains water, vitamins, and antioxidants. By mixing these ingredients together, it’s possible to strengthen your immune system. When your immune system functions at total capacity, it can better identify and remove potentially harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Migraine infusion: A migraine infusion is a type of IV hydration formula to relieve the symptoms of a migraine headache. One of the primary ingredients in a migraine infusion is magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral known to reduce side effects like pain and nausea.

What type of IV hydration might benefit me?

To determine the type of IV hydration that benefits you most, your provider reviews your medical history, conducts a physical exam, and asks about your goals for treatment. If your provider suspects you’re experiencing a nutritional deficiency, they might also order lab tests like blood work or urinalysis.

After gathering the necessary information, they develop a custom treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

How long does IV hydration take?

An IV hydration appointment typically takes between 45-60 minutes. Depending on the issues in need of treatment, you might benefit from a series of IV infusions spaced several weeks or months apart.
