What is IV vitamin therapy?

IV vitamin therapy is a treatment that infuses vitamins, minerals, other nutrients, and fluids into the bloodstream, where they're quickly absorbed. IV therapy bypasses the gut, allowing your body to more effectively absorb and use IV therapy ingredients to optimize physical and cognitive function.

Which ingredients does IV therapy contain?

Your IV therapy infusion may include combinations of the following ingredients:

  • Fluids
  • Vitamin C
  • B vitamins
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium
  • Additional minerals
  • Amino acids
  • Antioxidants

Paramount Health Directions offers Myers’ Cocktail, invented by Dr. John Myers in the 1950s, to treat an array of health conditions or prevent them from occurring altogether.

What should I expect during IV therapy?

During treatment, you can relax, read, browse the internet, listen to music, or take a nap. 

Which type of IV therapy is best for me?

The Paramount Health Directions team determines which IV therapy treatment best suits you after discussing your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, medications, and more. They may recommend lab testing to determine if you have nutrient deficiencies or chronic disease risk factors.
