 Is IV Therapy Right for You?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that offers many benefits for your existing health and long-term wellness. If you haven’t considered IV therapy before, it may be the solution you need for issues like fatigue and brain fog.

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a great way to quickly rehydrate your body and give it the nutrients it needs to function at peak levels.

At RegenMed Health Centers, we specialize in IV infusion therapies for adults who want to enhance their health and revitalize their energy levels.

IV therapy specialist Ellen Lin, MD, customizes IV drips to your unique needs and health challenges to ensure the best treatment outcomes. Dr. Lin also prioritizes your safety throughout your infusion by carefully monitoring your vital signs and comfort.

How IV therapy works

IV therapy is a method of delivering essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This makes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other substances immediately available to your cells.

When you take vitamins and other nutrients by mouth, they must first pass through your digestive system, which can limit how much of the nutrients your body absorbs. Not getting enough nutrients from your daily diet or supplements can lead to deficiencies that negatively affect your health.

You enjoy the full benefit of the nutrients by delivering vitamins, minerals, and other substances through an IV line in your vein.

Treatment times are fast, and many people begin to feel the positive effects of an IV infusion before their session ends. These benefits can last for several days, leaving you feeling more energized and mentally clear.

Treatment benefits of IV infusion therapy

IV therapy is generally safe and well tolerated by adults who are in good overall health but may feel run down because of the following:

  • Pain
  • Hangover
  • Colds and flu
  • Menopause
  • Dehydration
  • Inflammation
  • Strenuous workouts

You may also benefit from our B-Lean IV therapy if you’re on a journey to lose weight and need help jumpstarting your metabolism.

Dr. Lin uses the highest quality ingredients like calcium, folic acid, vitamin C, and magnesium in your IV drip to enhance the outcome of your treatment. She can customize a drip to your specific needs and wellness goals.

When to consider IV therapy

You might benefit from IV therapy if you’re not feeling well because of acute or chronic health issues. Dr. Lin can also determine if you’re a candidate for infusions if you have gastrointestinal problems or other underlying medical conditions that limit the absorption of dietary nutrients.

We offer personalized health evaluations to assess your needs and determine which IV therapy solutions are a good fit. A variety of nutrients are available through IV infusions to correct nutritional deficiencies that make you feel tired, contribute to weight gain, and cause foggy thinking.

Dr. Lin and our specialists focus on your comfort when starting the IV line. They also supervise your entire treatment to guarantee your safety.

Additional therapy sessions can make it easier to maintain your health and strengthen your immune system. Dr. Lin discusses how often you should schedule a session based on your wellness goals and existing health.
