IV Therapy uses essential vitamin and nutrients like Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, and B-vitamins to promote optimal health in patients. IV Therapy is successful due to rapid absorption of these elements. IV Therapy absorption is near 90%, compared to 10-40% of absorption when taken by mouth. IV Therapy typically takes around 30 minutes. IM Injections are highly successful and are often used as a complimentary therapy to IV infusions. Most of the vitamins and nutrients used in the IV are able to be administered via IM route.
