IV Infusions Q & A
What are IV infusions?
Intravenous or IV infusions are a quick and effective treatment designed to ensure your body is getting the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs. Even if you make a dedicated effort to eat right, some of the nutrients in your food are lost in digestion. The same goes for vitamins you take orally. With IV infusion therapy, however, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients can be sent directly into your bloodstream so your body can reap their full benefits.
