Intravenous (IV) therapy at Optimum Health
Intravenous (IV) therapy is used to deliver nutrients to your body’s systems for health optimization, revitalization and overall wellness. IV nutrition has been utilized in hospitals for decades to help provide nutrients to patients who are ill or unable to eat. Through research and advances in technology, we are now able to correct vitamin deficiencies easier than before. With IV nutrition, we are able to safely administer nutrients directly into the body, resulting in a more rapid and complete benefit by bypassing the digestive process.
At Optimum Health, we offer custom, individualized IV treatments based on laboratory findings such as nutrient and or mineral deficits. We use only natural ingredients to customize your IV therapy.
Our patients’ IV therapy is overseen by medical staff and consultations are performed with one of our treating providers. Our providers are very knowledgeable in IV nutrition and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your care.

We provide specialized IV preparation depending on your needs. IV therapy is often utilized to promote increased energy, improved hydration, detoxification, reduced inflammation, enhanced immunity, skin brightening, and improved recovery.

- Immune System Support

Frequently asked questions about intravenous (IV) therapy
Why is IV therapy better than getting my nutrients orally?
Due to various factors (gastrointestinal issues, dieting issues, or chronic illness), only a fraction of the essential nutrients you consume via an oral supplement or through eating actually end up being absorbed by your body. With IV therapy, nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream, allowing for more effective—and quicker—absorption.
Is IV therapy safe?
IV therapy is a safe, standardized treatment in our clinical setting and it is administered exclusively by licensed professionals at Optimum Health. However, we do a comprehensive evaluation to ensure that IV therapy is right for you.
How long is an IV therapy session?
Depending on the IV recipe (“mix” or “cocktail”), a session can be anywhere from 30-90 minutes.
How long will take for me to see results?
It depends on what recipe (“mix” or “cocktail”) is administered. Sometimes, the benefits are seen after a single session. Other times, you will need to come back for multiple and perhaps routine IV therapy sessions to see consistent results.
How do you decide if I am a candidate for IV therapy?
We conduct a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure that IV therapy is right for you. If you are affected by any of the conditions listed in the previous section, then IV therapy could potentially be right for you. However, we do take greater caution with patients that have been diagnosed with conditions associated with heart disease and/or hypertension.
