FAQs

What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

IV vitamin therapy is a method of administering vitamins, amino acids, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. This allows the nutrients to be given at higher doses than if orally administered. The nutrients enter the body directly at the cellular level where they will have the highest benefit.

Why is IV Vitamin Therapy Effective?

IV therapy bypasses the liver, allowing for higher absorption and utilization of the nutrients, which if orally ingested, would be eliminated by the body during metabolism.

When should IV Therapy be used?

IV vitamin therapy can be used either proactively to maintain wellness or to treat many acute and chronic conditions.

What is it like to receive IV Therapy?

At Akasha we administer IV Vitamin Therapy in one of our comfortable private rooms to help you maximize the benefits of the treatment. These accommodations allow you to lie down, relax, and listen to music without being rushed or distracted. All of the IV formulas are designed and administered under the supervision of one of our doctors.
