Quick Answer

IV therapy can help when you need fast hydration, energy support, or a boost for recovery. People often choose an IV before a big day, after travel, during cold & flu season, after hard workouts, or when they feel run down.

  • Hydration & recovery: great after travel, illness, or hard training.
  • Immune support: helpful during cold & flu season or high-stress times.
  • Focus & clarity: some IVs support brain fog and daily energy.

Is IV Therapy Safe?

Most people do well with IVs when they are mixed and given by trained medical staff. Mild effects can include a cool feeling in the arm, a brief headache, or light nausea. Tell us how you feel—we can slow or pause if needed.

Our sourcing: We use a 503B outsourcing compounding pharmacy for sterile ingredients whenever applicable, with lot-level sterility and endotoxin testing. Treatments are provided by licensed staff in our Newport Beach clinic.

Who Should Be Careful?

  • Active cancer: avoid IVs unless your oncology team approves and supervises.
  • Kidney disease or heart failure: fluids and certain nutrients may not be right—ask your provider.
  • G6PD deficiency: no high-dose Vitamin C IV unless cleared by your clinician.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding: some IVs are not studied well—please ask your clinician first.
  • Allergies or past reactions: tell us before treatment so we can choose safely.

How Often Should I Get an IV?

It depends on your goal. Some people come as needed (travel, big week, recovering from illness). Others choose a simple plan (for example, every 2–4 weeks) for steady support. We’ll build a plan that fits your life.
