Question 1

What is IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

IV therapy is the intravenous delivery of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and hydrating fluids directly into your bloodstream. It bypasses the digestive system, giving near-100% bioavailability and faster onset than oral supplements.

Accepted Answer

Yes — when administered by licensed nurses using sterile technique, IV therapy is considered safe for healthy Houston, Texas residents. Most clinics screen for contraindications during a brief intake.

Accepted Answer

Houston residents typically report improved energy, faster recovery, better hydration, and a sense of wellbeing after a session — especially helpful for active lifestyles.

Question 4

How long does an IV therapy session take?

Accepted Answer

Most wellness drips run 30 to 60 minutes. Larger volumes or specialized infusions like NAD+ can take 1.5 to 3 hours.

Question 5

Expect a brief health screening, blood pressure check, and consultation. A licensed nurse will place the IV in a vein (usually the arm), and you'll relax in a chair while the drip runs.

Question 6

Does insurance cover IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

Most aesthetic and wellness IV drips are paid out-of-pocket. Some clinical infusions may be partially covered — check with your provider for a Superbill.

Question 7

Question 11

What's in a Myers' Cocktail?

Accepted Answer

The Myers' Cocktail is a classic vitamin and mineral blend containing magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins, vitamin B12, and vitamin C delivered in saline. It was originally developed by Dr. John Myers to support energy, immune function, and recovery from fatigue. It is one of the most commonly requested wellness drips.

Question 12

What is NAD+ therapy and what are its benefits?

Accepted Answer

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that supports energy production and cellular repair. NAD+ IV therapy delivers this coenzyme directly into the bloodstream and is often used to support mental clarity, energy, and recovery. Infusions typically run 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on dose.

Question 13

How is hangover IV therapy different from drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Hangover IV drips combine saline fluids with electrolytes, B vitamins, and anti-nausea or anti-inflammatory medications when clinically appropriate. Because the fluids and nutrients enter the bloodstream directly, rehydration and symptom relief tend to be faster and more complete than oral rehydration alone.

Question 14

Can IV therapy support immune health?

Accepted Answer

Immune-focused IV drips typically combine high-dose vitamin C, zinc, B-complex, and sometimes glutathione. These nutrients support immune cell function and antioxidant capacity. Many people choose immune drips during cold and flu season, before travel, or when recovering from a recent illness.

Question 15

Is mobile IV therapy as safe as visiting a clinic?

Accepted Answer

Reputable mobile IV providers send licensed registered nurses or paramedics who follow the same sterile protocols and screening procedures used in a clinic. Make sure your provider verifies a medical-director relationship, performs a health screen before infusion, and discloses ingredients and pricing transparently.
