What is IV Therapy?

Do you ever wish there was a quick, easy way to get over a hangover, boost your immune system, or improve your mood and concentration? IV therapy does just that!

What is Vitamin IV Therapy?

Vitamin IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. Intravenous vitamin therapy has gained popularity in recent years as a way to rapidly replenish nutrient deficiencies and improve overall health and wellness. This therapy may particularly benefit individuals with malabsorption issues or chronic health conditions that may interfere with nutrient absorption.

At Alamo Ranch, we offer 10 IV blends with unique ingredients for a wide range of wellness goals and needs. With this comprehensive menu of vitamin and mineral combinations, we have a blend for almost everyone. Our IV blends include:

• Immune and Adrenal Boost
• Vitality and Super Recovery
• Vitamin and Mineral Repletion
• Amino Acid Infusion
• Hydration / Inflammation and Sports Recovery
• Tranquility and Mood Package 
• The Hangover Reliever
• Glutathione IV
• IV NAD+
• Vitamindrip® IV

How Does IV Therapy Work?

Delivering vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream allows for faster and more efficient absorption than taking them orally. Oral supplements must first be broken down and absorbed by the digestive system, where they may lose some of their effectiveness. IV therapy can hydrate and replenish your body more effectively and quickly, making it a beneficial boost for your wellness. 

An IV therapy session is a fast, simple treatment you can have on a lunch break. Your Alamo Ranch provider will insert the needle into your vein. After the initial pinch, you shouldn’t feel any discomfort as the vitamins and minerals travel through the IV into your bloodstream. The process typically takes 45 minutes to an hour.

After the infusion is complete, you can resume your normal activities right away. You’ll likely leave your treatment already feeling better.

What Can IV Therapy Treat?

IV therapy is ideal for improving your overall wellness, boosting your body with essential vitamins and nutrients. Since we offer several different IV blends, this treatment can be used for various health concerns.

We commonly use IV therapy for:

• Strengthening your immune system
• Helping your body recover after intense sports or injuries with anti-inflammatory blends
• Boosting mood to alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress
• Relieving headaches, hangovers, and migraines
• Rehydrating your body after exercise
• Reducing signs of aging and improving skin and hair health
• Treating symptoms of auto-immune diseases
• An overall boost for those undergoing cancer treatment

How Many IV Therapy Treatments Will I Need?

During your consultation at Alamo Ranch, we’ll discuss your health goals and concerns to help you determine the ideal treatment. We’ll help you decide which IV blends are best for you, what dosages you need, and how many sessions you should have. Depending on your needs, we typically recommend between three and twelve IV treatments. You can continue having IV therapy as needed for ongoing benefits.

Am I a Good Candidate for Vitamin IV Therapy?

IV therapy is a versatile treatment that can benefit almost anyone. Your Alamo Ranch provider will discuss your goals and any medications or conditions you have to help you determine if IV therapy is right for you.
