What We Do

Intravenous means “within a vein” and it is a safe and efficient way to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream. 

 

IV therapy is highly effective because it bypasses the digestive system. 

This allows for 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. 

Island IV’s therapies focus on health, recovery, wellness, and fitness. 

IV therapy is designed to help foster and support healthy living by addressing individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

IV vitamin infusion therapy involves inserting an IV line into a vein in your arm to administer a high concentration of liquid vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals into your bloodstream. The therapy may be for only one vitamin or a cocktail of nutrients.

 Yes, each patient will be evaluated by one of our medical professionals before initiating treatment. Blood work will be determined by type of infusion you are interested in having done. 

 

There are several benefits to receiving vitamins through infusion therapy. These include:

 

  • A higher absorption rate. When you take vitamins orally, your body has to metabolize them as they go through your digestive system. Since infusion therapy is injected directly into your bloodstream, your body absorbs a higher percentage of the nutrients.

 

 

  • Dosage can be personalized. When you take vitamins via a pill or food, you consume whatever amount is already included in the item you’re taking orally. On the other hand, when you receive vitamin infusion therapy, your healthcare professional will take into account your age, genetics, existing medical conditions, metabolism, and anything else that may be relevant specifically to you in order to maximize the benefits.

 

 

  • It keeps you hydrated. Patients with moderate to severe dehydration can benefit from hydration IV therapy. However, there are several vitamins that also aid in hydration – including vitamins A, C, and E. While there are over-the-counter vitamins that contain these nutrients, certain medical conditions prevent your body from fully absorbing them. Infusion therapy ensures a higher success rate of providing the nutrition your body needs.

IV vitamin infusion therapy involves inserting an IV line into a vein in your arm to administer a high concentration of liquid vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals into your bloodstream. The therapy may be for only one vitamin or a cocktail of nutrients.

A healthcare professional will mix the solution to be injected according to your doctor’s instructions. They will then insert the IV needle and monitor the infusion through its duration.

Everyone is different. As a general rule, the more deficient and unbalanced your system is, the greater and more immediate an effect you will feel. Just because you do not feel an immediate difference, doesn’t mean the therapy is not beneficial. IV therapies are the clinical gold standard in “flushing” out the body of unwanted toxins and helping achieve balance.

Your body is approximately 60% water and it relies on that water to maintain it’s cells, tissues, organs and other bodily functions. 

The importance of hydration is often forgotten as many people forget to drink water as often as they should. When you become dehydrated, your body loses fluids making it harder to operate at its full potential.
