Many people ask about IV therapy but aren't sure how the options differ. If you're searching for IV therapy services, you may have seen terms like Myers Cocktail, NAD+, or glutathione infusion.
This guide walks you through the five most common types of IV vitamin drips. We'll cover what's in each blend and how a typical session works.
By the end, you'll know the basic makeup of each drip type. Then you can ask us which one fits what you're looking for.
What are the Most Common Types of IV Vitamin Therapy?
The five most common types of IV vitamin therapy are:
Vitamin IV Drips — a blend of core hydration fluid and multivitamins
Myers Cocktail — a mix of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium
NAD+ IV Therapy — a drip built around the compound NAD+
Glutathione Infusion — a drip centered on the antioxidant glutathione
Immunity IV — a blend of vitamin C and zinc
We build each drip based on what you and your provider discuss during a consultation.
What Is IV Vitamin Therapy?
IV vitamin therapy delivers vitamins and minerals through a small tube placed in your vein. This is different from taking vitamins by mouth.
We build each IV blend for the person receiving it. A short consultation comes first, so we can talk through what you're looking for.
IV vitamin therapy is also different from a hospital rehydration IV. Hospital IVs are typically used for medical treatment. Our drips are wellness-focused and given in a clinic setting.
- Delivered through a vein, not swallowed
- Custom-built after a short consultation
- Separate from hospital rehydration treatment
Vitamin C is one of the most common ingredients across these drips.
Vitamin IV Drips
The Vitamin IV Drip is our most basic blend. It combines a core hydration fluid with a multivitamin mix.
During a typical session, you sit in a private room while the drip runs. Most sessions run about 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.
