IV Therapy: What It Is, What It Does and Who It's For

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small IV, so they are absorbed fully rather than passing through your digestive system. People use it for hydration, recovery, energy and general wellness support.

Common reasons people choose IV therapy

• Hydration: especially helpful in Colorado's dry, high-altitude climate
• Athletic recovery: after long runs, rides, hikes or ski days
• Immune support: during busy seasons or before travel
• Energy and wellness: when you feel run-down
• Beauty from within: nutrients that support skin, hair and nails
• Weight loss support: alongside a medical weight loss plan

What's in an IV drip?

Most drips start with a base of saline fluid and add a custom blend that may include B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, amino acids or antioxidants. At Allied, every formulation is tailored to your goals and health history.

What a session is like

• A short health screening, including medications and medical conditions
• Placement of a small IV in your arm
• Relaxing in a comfortable chair while the infusion runs, usually 30 to 60 minutes

You may notice a small bruise or tenderness at the IV site. Many clients feel refreshed and hydrated soon after.

IM injections

If you want a quicker option, intramuscular (IM) injections such as B12 deliver key nutrients in seconds. Read about B12 injections.

Who should check with a doctor first

IV therapy isn't right for everyone. If you have heart or kidney conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take certain medications, your provider may recommend a different option or ask you to check with your physician.
