HOW LONG DOES AN APPOINTMENT TAKE?Once you arrive at our clinic, or the RN arrives at your home, and IV infusion will take approximated 30 - 45 minutes to infuse. Everyone's body is different, and some people will take longer than others. Expect to be at an appointment for up to an hour. Extra time is expected due to the time the RN will spend speaking with you and assessing you and starting your IV. Please pre-fill the intake forms prior to your appointment to shorten your visit duration. If you are only receiving an injectable, this entire process should take no more than 30 minutes.

I AM SICK OR FEELING RUN DOWN, WHAT DO I DO?The best time to receive and IV infusion is at the start of an illness. The best outcome for combating a virus or infection is by being pro-active. It is recommended to boost your immune system at the first signs of symptoms or when you are starting to feel run down. As soon as this happens - book an appointment with us to prevent getting worse and to start feeling better! ​ If you are already sick and exhibiting symptoms such as a cough or fever - please contact us prior to booking an appointment. We would prefer to book you at a private time or see you in the comforts of your own home.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IV INFUSIONS?IV infusions provide 100% availability of the infused nutrients to your cells. Food sources are lacking many of the vital minerals and nutrients our bodies need for good health. When we digest nutrients via food or supplements, we only absorb about 20-30%. Nutrient supplementation via IV, bypasses the gut and grants our cells 100% bio-availability. Health and wellness are achieved more completely through IV infusions.

WHAT IS AN IV AND HOW IS AN IV INFUSION ADMINISTERED?An IV infusion is a fluid bag of vitamins and nutrients that are delivered directly into your bloodstream via your vein. Access to the vein is obtained through an IV catheter. An IV catheter is placed into a vein in your arm or hand. A needle is used to enter the vein and then the needle is removed and a plastic catheter remains in the vein for the duration of the infusion. The infusion bag is attached to the IV catheter and the fluids are given from the bag, through the catheter, and into the vein. At the end of the infusion, the catheter is removed, and a band aid is placed.
-
WHAT IS AN IM INJECTABLE AND HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED?An injectable is a vitamin, nutrient, or medication that can be injected directly into the bloodstream via the IV catheter or directly into the muscle. Each injectable is different and are administered via either one or both routes. If the injectable is given into the muscle, a needle will be used to access the muscle via the shoulder or hip. Once the needle is removed a band aid is placed.
