What IV nutrient therapy involves
IV nutrient therapy infuses combinations of vitamins, minerals and fluids intravenously during a clinic visit, marketed for energy, recovery, immunity or general wellness.
What to consider when choosing a clinic
For people with a documented deficiency or a medical need, IV repletion can be appropriate; for general wellness in otherwise healthy people, robust evidence of benefit is limited, and higher-dose supplementation isn't automatically better — large trials of routine supplementation in non-deficient adults have been negative. Look for medical oversight, testing before treating and transparent ingredients. Discuss with a doctor, especially if you have kidney or heart conditions.
