What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV therapy delivers a potent mix of vitamins, minerals, and fluids straight into your bloodstream—bypassing the digestive system for faster, more efficient absorption. Whether you’re low on nutrients, feeling run down, or just in need of a reset, IV therapy offers a direct route to recharging your body. It’s especially effective for:

  • Restoring nutrient levels
  • Boosting energy and sharpening focus
  • Supporting immune function and hydration
  • Adjunct concussion treatment
  • Detoxification
  • Skin restoration

At NutriChem, every IV treatment is carefully customized to align with your unique health goals—whether you’re recovering from burnout or looking to elevate your overall wellness.

Effective IV Treatments for Various Conditions

Fibromyalgia

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in 2009 investigated the use of intravenous vitamin infusions for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. The study participants received treatment once a week for eight weeks, whereas the control group received a placebo in the form of Lactated Ringer’s solution. The study suggested an improvement in the pain experienced in tender points, a reduction in feelings of depression and an improvement in quality of life. Differences between the groups were not statistically significant, but the improvement in symptoms within-group differences reached statistical significance.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Dr. John Myers, MD, utilized a predetermined formula to help support the treatment of a variety of conditions. His work found that intravenous vitamin infusions were of significant benefit for the treatment of fatigue. The dubbed ‘Myers cocktail’ has been suggested to improve fatigue after a minimum of 1 weekly treatment for 4 weeks. The improvement lasted anywhere from a few days to a few months after treatment among patients.

Immune Support

An important ingredient that can be added to the treatment to support immune function is ascorbic acid (vitamin C). A 2018 study on sepsis (a life-threatening infection of the blood that can cause organ failure) used thiamine (vitamin B1), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and hydrocortisone through IV therapy to help restore normal immune function and reduce the risk for organ failure and death. Other ingredients which can be used in addition to vitamin C to support immune function include zinc and selenium.

Our Approach to IV Therapy

At NutriChem, IV therapy is more than just a drip—it’s a carefully guided, personalized treatment session designed to support your health from the inside out. Every step is led by our trained clinicians, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

1. Thoughtful Consultation

Your journey begins with an initial consultation where we take the time to truly understand you. We review your personal and family health history, current conditions, treatment goals, lifestyle, and dietary habits. This allows us to determine if IV therapy is a safe and suitable option for you, and to customize your care accordingly.

2. Comprehensive Screening

Before your first session, we conduct a full clinical screening, including a physical exam to check for signs of any contraindications to IV fluids. We also schedule lab work to ensure your organs are functioning optimally. Tests may include liver and kidney function, a complete blood count (CBC), electrolyte levels, and more—based on your specific needs.

3. Relaxing, Personalized Treatment

Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes in a calm, comfortable setting. Many clients bring a book, listen to music, or simply take the time to relax. Each IV formula is carefully selected to align with your treatment goals and nutrient needs.

4. Ongoing Support

Whether you’re coming in for a one-time energy boost or building IV therapy into your broader wellness routine, we continue to adjust your treatment plan to keep pace with your health goals. Every session is an opportunity to fine-tune and optimize your care.
