6 Key Benefits of IV & IM Therapy for Optimal Health
What is IV and IM Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) therapy deliver essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients, or medication directly into the bloodstream. While IV therapy administers these fluids directly into the veins, IM therapy delivers them to the muscles. By bypassing the physiological limitations of the gastric system, both treatments work faster to promote overall wellness.
Who Can Benefit from IV and IM Therapy?
Many people can benefit from IV and IM therapy, but these treatments are especially beneficial for the following:
- People recovering from an illness
- People who are dehydrated or jet-lagged
- Professionals who are exhausted and in need of a quick energy boost
- Athletes who want to recover from burnout or an injury faster and perform much better
- People with nutrient deficiencies or malabsorption issues
- Anyone who wants to improve their immune health and overall well-being
Why Choose IV and IM Therapy Over Oral Supplements?
While oral supplements are mostly effective, many people struggle to properly absorb them through their digestive systems. As a result, many of the nutrients administered may never reach their bloodstream, especially if they have digestive issues.
On the other hand, IV and IM therapy bypass the digestive tract and deliver these essential nutrients right where they’re needed.
Even when you try to compensate for the deficit by taking high doses of vitamins, like vitamin C, your digestive system may struggle to process them, which may upset your stomach. But with IV therapy, your body can absorb much higher and more effective doses without experiencing this discomfort, ensuring you get the most out of the nutrients administered to you.
This direct delivery of nutrients into the bloodstream makes IV and IM therapy work faster and more efficiently. Thus, patients can experience the positive effects much sooner than with traditional oral supplements.
Benefits of IV and IM Therapy
Many people think IV and IM therapies are strictly for aiding recovery from illnesses, but these treatments also offer a wide range of benefits for better performance and overall wellness.
1. They can help the body absorb nutrients more efficiently
Unlike oral medication, which takes time to digest and take effect, IV and IM therapy allows for the direct and faster absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals into the bloodstream. Additionally, these treatments ensure that the complete dose is administered to where it’s needed. This may support the replenishment of people who are malnourished or struggling with malabsorption issues due to an illness.
2. They can promote hydration
IV and IM therapies are also effective for quickly rehydrating the body, which is especially beneficial for people experiencing dehydration due to illness, physical activity, or insufficient fluid intake.
3. They may support the immune system
Providing concentrated doses of immune-boosting vitamins, such as Vitamin C, IV and IM therapy, may also strengthen the immune system and help prevent illnesses.
4. They often offer faster relief from migraines and headaches
Some IV formulations may provide faster relief for headaches and migraines and also support cognitive function.
5. They may support athletic performance and recovery
As IV and IM therapies are proven to be faster than oral medication, many people, especially athletes, use them to support their recovery and replenish nutrients and electrolytes lost during intense physical activity. Ultimately, this may improve their stamina and performance.
6. They may offer skin rejuvenation benefits.
Some IV and IM formulations contain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, or other substances known to support healthy, glowing skin.
Our IV and IM Treatments and Pricing
At REJU Clinic, we offer a variety of IM shot therapy to support your wellness goals. The Vitamin C Shot ($60) is formulated to boost your immune system and skin health. The Skin+ Shot, which combines nutrients like dexpanthenol and niacinamide to promote a glowing complexion, is also beneficial for the skin.
For those who want to age healthily, the Youth+ Shot ($120) is formulated with NAD+, taurine, and several essential vitamins to help rejuvenate their skin and nerve function.
In addition to our IM shot therapy, we also offer a range of IV therapy designed to provide a more intensive nutrient boost. The Revive infusion ($224) replenishes the body with essential electrolytes and nutrients formulated to keep you hydrated, while the Immune infusion ($349) provides your immune system with high doses of Vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins.
For those recovering from a long night or an illness, the Recover infusion ($359) can help hydrate and detoxify the body by replenishing vital nutrients like glutathione and magnesium. You might also be interested in the Athlete infusion ($364), which is designed to aid muscle recovery and overall performance with its blend of amino acids, B vitamins, and Vitamin C. We’ve carefully formulated these treatments and others on our services page to meet a wide range of wellness needs and support our customers’ bodies from the inside out.
What to Expect
We recommend consulting your medical practitioner before booking your appointment to ensure IV and IM therapies are suitable for you. During this consultation, they will review your medical history, assess your current health status, and may even recommend the most appropriate therapy for your needs.
At REJU Clinic, your comfort and convenience are our priority. That’s why we encourage customers to arrive at least 10 minutes before their scheduled sessions to allow time for check-in. We also recommend arriving well-hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing to ensure the best experience.
Regardless of which therapy you choose, you’ll be seated or lying in a relaxed position for the session. A nurse will gently insert a cannula into your vein for IV therapy. You may feel a slight prick during insertion, but the rest of the procedure is virtually painless. Once the cannula is in place, the nurse will start the IV drip, and the vital nutrients will start flowing directly into your bloodstream.
The duration of IV therapy varies depending on the treatment you’ve selected, so please allow 1 hour for most appointments or 2 hours for NAD therapy. During the session, you can relax, read a book, listen to music, or even take a nap while the nutrients are administered to your bloodstream.
With IM therapy, the process is even more straightforward. The nurse will use a sterile syringe to deliver the nutrients directly into a large muscle, usually in your upper arm or thigh. You may feel a quick pinch during the injection, but it’s over in seconds, and there’s no downtime afterwards.
