Why Nutritional IV Therapy?

Nutrient IV therapy can be beneficial for those with medical conditions as well as individuals looking to improve their general health and wellness. When nutrients are given intravenously (through an IV), nearly 100% of those nutrients are available to your tissues and cells via your bloodstream.

This allows for optimal absorption, something that is not attainable with oral supplements due to the loss during digestion. IVs also get nutrients to your tissues at a much quicker rate than other forms of nutrient supplementation. This combination of quick and maximum absorption makes IV therapy one of the most effective ways to combat nutrient deficiencies and imbalances in your body.

Nutritional IV Packages

Myers’ Cocktail IV

$150
  • The Myers’ Cocktail IV includes Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin B Complex, additional Vitamin B5, B6, and B12, and Vitamin C. The effects of each component combine to offer a powerful nutrient IV with countless benefits.
  • The Myers’ IV quickly relieves migraines, reduces joint and muscle pain, and decreases chronic inflammation(1, 6-8). It has amazing benefits for brain health, as it can improve conditions such as depression and anxiety as well as reduce cognitive decline. Lastly, the Myers’ IV has shown to reduces the risk of developing a number of diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes(2-4, 9-13) .
  • ● Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue
  • ● Decreases Chronic Inflammation
  • ● Relieves Muscle & Joint Pain
  • ● Improves Brain Health and Mental Health

NAD+ Trio IV

$200-575
  • All Extivtia NAD+ Trio IV’s include the Myer’s Cocktail IV and Glutathione IV to ensure our patients receive the full benefits of NAD+ infusion.
  • Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a “helper molecule” that plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, immune regulation, and gene expression(14). Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decrease with age and can lead to metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby impairing normal functioning of cells and tissues(15-19).
  • Diseases associated with NAD+ depletion include Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and more(20-27). Thankfully, intravenous NAD+ can effectively raise NAD+ levels (28), providing both immediate benefits and potential protection from many chronic diseases.
  • ● Increased energy and metabolism
  • ● Promotes healthy brain function
  • ● Reduces systemic inflammation
  • ● Reduces risk of chronic, age-related diseases

Glutathione IV

$100
  • Glutathione is often called the “master antioxidant,” and for good reason. It protects cells from free-radical damage and drives detoxification by removing harmful pollutants, drugs, chemicals, and toxins from your body(29-30).
  • It also reduces chronic inflammation, increases the functionality of the immune system, and even regenerates vitamins C and E (two other antioxidants)(30). Among the conditions that have shown dysregulation of glutathione are neurodegenerative, metabolic, chronic inflammatory, and inherited diseases(31).
  • ● Protects Cells from Harmful Chemicals
  • ● Reduces Chronic Inflammation
  • ● Regenerates Vitamins C & E
  • ● Vital to Energy and Metabolism

Asthma IV

$120-150
  • The asthma IV that we offer contains vitamin C, B complex, calcium, magnesium, and additional vitamins B5 and B6. Following the initial IV, we provide a vitamin B12 “push”, which is a smaller amount of concentrated B12 administered through the IV. Asthma is an inflammatory disease, and many of the vitamins and minerals in the IV are known to decrease inflammation(32). Combined with the B12 push, which is also anti-inflammatory, this IV works to decrease risk of asthma and reduce asthma symptoms(32-39).
  • ● Anti-Inflammatory
  • ● Reduces Symptoms of Asthma
  • ● Reduces Risk of Asthma

Migraine IV

$100
  • The migraine IV contains magnesium and vitamin B6, both of which have proven benefits for relieving migraines. Magnesium has repeatedly been shown to reduce the frequency of migraines (how often they occur), as well as the severity of migraines(6, 7). Vitamin B6 reduces the severity and duration of migraines(40). Many patients report that the pain associated with their migraine is rapidly relieved following specialized migraine IV’s.
  • ● Quickly Reduces Severity of Migraines
  • ● Reduces Frequency of Migraines
  • ● Reduces Duration of Migraines
  •  

Rehydration IV

$60-80
  • The rehydration IV is composed of saline solution. Because rehydration IV’s are delivered directly to the circulatory system, it bypasses normal absorption and quickly hydrates your body.
  • These IV’s are common for dehydration, jet lag, and hangovers(41).
  • ● Fixes Dehydration
  • ● Reduces Jet Lag & Hangovers
  • ● $40 for 500ml or $70 for 1ltr

High Dose Vitamin C IV

$115- 300
  • The High Dose Vitamin C IV includes Vitamin C, Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium. The effects of each component combine to offer a powerful nutrient IV with significant health benefits.
  • High-dose vitamin C therapy acts as a non-toxic chemotherapeutic, antibacterial, and antiviral agent. At doses of 25 grams and higher, ascorbic acid can damage the DNA of cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses, resulting in cell death without harming normal, healthy cells.
  • High Dose Vitamin C IV therapy provides the following benefits:
  • ● Non-toxic Chemotherapeutic Agent
  • ● Antiviral
  • ● Antibacterial

Supercharger IV

$300
  • The Supercharger IV includes Vitamin C, Calcium, B Complex, Magnesium, Potassium, Taurine, Zinc, as well as Vitamin B5 and B6, with a Vitamin B12 “IV push” at the end of the infusion. The combined effects of these components create a robust nutrient IV with extensive benefits.  
  • Our Supercharger infusion is designed to rapidly replenish essential nutrients, enhance energy levels, and improve overall wellness. This potent blend supports immune function, boosts metabolism, and aids in muscle recovery, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a comprehensive health boost.  
  • Supercharger IV therapy provides the following benefits:  
    • ● Enhances Energy Levels
    • ● Supports Immune Function
    • ● Boosts Metabolism
    • ● Aids Muscle Recovery
    • ● Improves Overall Wellness

    Frequently Asked Questions About Nutritional IV Therapy

    Is Nutrient IV Therapy safe?

    Nutrient IV Therapy is very safe. At Extivita, we use reputable and accredited compounding pharmacies for all of our IV components. Additionally, all IV bags and tubing are DEHP-free. Our experienced, licensed staff follow all standard safety protocols and procedures to minimize the risk of infection.

    Are there any side effects to Nutrient IV Therapy?

    Side effects from Nutrient IV Therapy rarely occur, if at all. If they do, they are typically minor and temporary. Bruising or bleeding at IV site, warming or cooling sensation in arm, chest, or stomach have been reported. Our staff are trained to manage all side effects that may occur.

    How do I get started with Nutrient IV Therapy?
    • New Patients: If you are a new patient and would like to receive nutrient IV’s, you will need to register as a patient on our website. You will then be given access to the patient portal, where you will fill in your medical history. Next step is to call (919) 354-3775 and schedule a consultation with our nurse practitioner. During this consult, we will review your current medical history and discuss how this therapy can be beneficial for you. We may require certain lab work prior to receiving nutrient IV therapy.
    • Existing Patients: If you have already had a consultation for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you will simply need a short consultation with our nurse practitioner to discuss how this therapy can be beneficial for you. There is no IV consultation charge for existing patients.
    Do I need a prescription for Nutrient IV Therapy?
    No, you do not need a prescription for intravenous vitamins and minerals.
    What happens after the IV Consultation?

    After meeting with our provider and determining which Nutrient IV Therapies will optimize your health, you simply need to schedule your infusion at the front desk. That’s it!

    Do I need to prepare for my infusion?
    • We recommend that you come in hydrated (that you drank at least 2 glasses of water) prior to your appointment. This is even more important if you drink coffee as coffee can be a diuretic. Hydrated veins are easier to access!
    • If you are coming in for an NAD+ infusion, please make sure to bring a snack because these infusions are 2-4 hours long. You might get hungry!
    What should I expect during my infusion?
    At the beginning of your appointment, you will have your vital signs taken. After all consents are checked and signed, one of our nurses will start your IV. During the infusion, vitamins, and nutrients will slowly drip from the IV line and enter your bloodstream. Feel free to sit back and relax, read, or do any stationary activity during your infusion. Depending on the type of infusion, this may take anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
    How often will I need treatments?
    The frequency of you IVs depends on your condition and personal needs. This will be discussed during your consultation.
    How soon will I feel the effects?
    Most of our patients report feeling the effects of the Nutrient IV immediately or within several hours following the infusion. Again, this will depend on the individual.
    Can I still take my medications while getting Nutrient IV Therapy?
    There are only a few medications that considered contraindications with Nutrient IV Therapy. We will review your medical history and medication list during your consultation to ensure that Nutrient IV Therapy is appropriate and safe for you.

    Vitamin C and Immune Function

    Vitamin C and Immune Function

    Nov 3, 2017 | , | 0 Comments

    Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient for humans, with pleiotropic functions related to its ability to donate electrons. It is a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes. Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Vitamin C supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes the oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, thereby potentially protecting against environmental oxidative stress.
