IV therapy works by using clean and sterile technique, placing a needle into a vein to enter vitamins and medications into the bloodstream at a constant level

It’s the fastest route of administering essential vitamins and medications into the bloodstream supporting your specific need and helping you  maintain overall wellness.

When you take vitamins and supplements orally, your stomach and digestive tract breaks it down further. Taking vitamins and supplements orally limits nutrient absorption by about 30%-50%.

The bloodstream absorbs vitamin concentration at a much higher rate of about 90% when delivered intravenously.

IV therapy can help raise the levels of vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream.

Results include a greater uptake into the cells, boost immunity through valuable usage of essential nutrients to fight off illness, and maintain overall health.

• Oral: which is when a person swallows a vitamin/supplement/medication
• IV: intravenous; into a vein. The intravenous (IV) administration route involves using a needle to inject a drug directly into a vein. IV routes bypass the digestive system and take effect quickly.
• IM: intramuscular; via an injection into a muscle. bypasses the digestive system, allowing the body to get a more potent dose of a drug.
• SQ: subcutaneous; under the skin. Allows for a slow release of drugs because the skin has fewer blood vessels.

A needle is placed into a vein and syringes are used  to enter vitamins into the IV tubing and/or bag to provide and maintain a constant level of medication in the blood over a period of time. 

The nurse administers well-diluted medications at a continuous and slow rate.

It is essential to consult for IV therapy with a medical doctor (MD) or nurse practitioner (NP) and have IV therapy administered by a licensed medical professional such as a registered nurse (RN) licensed in Hawaii. The nurse will perform the therapy to manage risk for a healthy vitamin infusion.

It is required to first consult for IV therapy with a qualified medical doctor (MD), nurse practitioner (NP), or naturopathic doctor (ND) and have IV therapy administered by a licensed medical professional such as a registered nurse (RN) in Hawaii. 

Consultations for IV therapy can be scheduled prior to attending IV sessions . Most IV therapy appointments will last 90 minutes. Consults with the MD or NP performed within the IV therapy appointment will extend appointment time, thus we recommend scheduling this consult prior to actual IV appointment. Any add-ons that are added to your infusion will also slightly vary appointment time. Certain infusions such as NAD+ can take between 4-5 hours.

Our holistic clinic has options for laying down on the BIOMAT (a thermal therapy mat) on a practitioner style table, a comfy chair to lounge in, or outside on the lanai for fresh air. Each option is offered with optimal brain waves therapy to support rejuvenation and nourishment of your brain and body.

IV vitamins and hydration therapy at Sage Integrative Wellness provides  experiences of holistic self care nurturing you’ve been seeking.

Depending on the person, one may consider getting IV vitamin and hydration therapy on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Some studies showed improvements at 4 and 8 weeks. 

Ultimately the frequency is up to you with the guidance of your integrative healthcare team.

It can be difficult to say exactly how long IV/IM fluids stay in the body since it is dependent on the vitamin and medication and the person’s body.

People who receive IV infusions of vitamins and minerals benefit immediately. After your appointment you may continue to feel better for hours and even days post infusion.

For most vitamins and minerals we recommend IV and IM therapy every two weeks for optimal results. Other vitamins and peptides may include every week.
