What is IV Hydration?
IV Hydration is a procedure during which fluids such as water, antioxidants, and vitamins are delivered straight into the bloodstream using an intravenous (IV) method. IV hydration therapy has been proven to hydrate the body faster than other methods by delivering hydration straight into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract. (1)
IV hydration is ideal for those who are dehydrated due to intense exercise, illness, or heat exhaustion, but it is also great for those who are looking for a rejuvenating boost. IV hydration rebalances the body through the infusion of essential nutrients and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream.
