IV Therapy

Are you looking for a fast-acting boost for your entire body? Support for low energy or immune function? Or to relax a stressed-out nervous system? IV (intra-venous) nutrient therapy may be helpful for you.

IV therapy refers to a selection of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and/or herbs injected directly into the blood stream for a fast and effective boost to your system, which is not attainable through oral supplementation. IV’s consist of Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Selenium, Magnesium and many other nutrients necessary for hundreds of functions in the body.

These nutrients are able to act quickly because the contents of the IV go directly into the bloodstream, and therefore tissues, and it avoids a phenomenon called the "first pass effect." The first pass effect applies to orally dosed drugs and supplements. Once absorbed, a portion is lost as it gets metabolized by the liver and dumped back into the gut, rather than going to the tissues. This loss is avoided when the nutrients are injected into the bloodstream enabling immediate access of all the injected nutrients.

Depending on the size of the IV, it will take either 15-20min (mini-Myers 100ml) or 45-50min (Myers 250ml) to drip. During this time you relax in a comfortable reclining chair. IV therapy is also covered by most extended benefits!

IV therapy may be helpful for:

• fatigue

• stress and burnout

• skin-brightening

• mood balancing

• hormone balancing

• detoxification

• allergies

• immune and so much more!

To get started, if you are not already a patient of mine (Dr. Hayley Owens, ND), I require a short intake appointment (15min) and recent blood work demonstrating adequate kidney and liver function. IV Therapy at Circle Integrative Wellness Clinic is booked exclusively with Dr. Hayley Owens, ND.
