What is IV Nutrient Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy involves the administration of a liquid solution containing vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for efficient absorption by bypassing the digestive system.
How it Works?
A thin catheter is inserted into a vein in your arm, delivering the nutrient solution comfortably and safely. The specific composition of the IV solution can be tailored to address individual needs and preferences. They monitor you throughout as you absorb the solution into your bloodstream. You may feel slight irritation at the injection site, but side effects are rare, and results can be immediate.

Holistic Approach:
Dr. Ferrante and the team take a holistic approach to wellness, and may recommend IV nutrient therapy as a component of a personalized treatment plan.
Important Considerations:
- Individual Needs: The specific composition of an IV nutrient solution can be tailored to address individual preferences and needs. IV nutrient therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Clients should consult with Dr. Ferrante or a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best options for their individual needs and health status.
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: It's crucial to discuss IV nutrient therapy with a qualified healthcare professional. They can help determine if this approach is appropriate for you based on your medical history, current health status, and any potential risks or contraindications.
- Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment: IV nutrient therapy is generally considered a complementary wellness practice and should not be viewed as a replacement for conventional medical treatment.
