We provide personalized IV vitamin therapy and hydration. We are a nutrient therapy clinic, providing intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) nutrients, and select medications (for nausea, pain, etc.) at our Drip Lounge, in Mill Creek, WA. We are available for mobile visits based on availability (with a travel fee).
Intravenous and intramuscular (IV/IM) nutrient therapies are effective methods of delivering key nutrients to the cells of your body through your veins and muscles. Because these nutrients are infused or injected, we bypass the gastrointestinal system, so nutrients are nearly 100% absorbed, where they can be immediately utilized.
Hippocrates, one of the parent of medicine,is said to have professed, “Let food be thy medicine.” While a diet in whole, healthy, natural foods is exceedingly important for optimal health, due to agricultural, transportation, environmental toxicity, educational and behavioral limitations, habit, and availability-- it is hard to get all the nutrients we need from our food supply. While oral nutrients, vitamins, supplements, etc. can be enormously beneficial for some people at bringing these nutrient gaps, they have limitations as well. IV/IM therapy can address more quickly and directly some nutrient deficiencies, or can help alleviate some conditions associated sub-optimal nutrient levels in the search for methods to bolster health and wellness.
After discussing your goals, asking and having your questions and concerns addressed, consenting to nutrient therapy, and taking a brief medical history, you can select an IV/IM from our menu. Once your paperwork is complete we prepare the infusion or injection. Your skin will be prepped in a sterile fashion (arm and hand for IV, shoulder or buttocks for IM). An IV will be placed and secured, or an IM shot will be injected.. A normal IV bag will take about 30-60 minutes to infuse. An IM shot will take only a few minutes to administer. Once completed, we will evaluate how you feel, take your vital signs, ask you a few questions, and you'll be on your way!
Side effects rarely occur if at all. If they do, they are usually minor and short lived. Minor redness, swelling and occasional bruising or bleeding can occur. You may experience temporary warming or cooling sensations in your arm or stomach. You may taste the vitamins or have vitamin smell in your urine. Our trained medical professional staff will help manage any side effects should they occur.
Most of our IV drips take between 30-60 minutes. During this time you can relax, recline, read, listen to music on your headphones, and just take time for you. You can also take advantage of our plethora of informational material, watch a movie, bring a friend to talk with, or drip with! Don't worry, if you have to use the restroom, our IV poles are on wheels, and you can safely roll into the bathroom! Some people feel a warming, calming sensation while experience a nutrient infusion. For IM shots, you may feel a very brief pinch, or slight sting.
Yes, we utilize the highest quality and compounding pharmacies, and our staff are well-trained and certified in injection therapies. We maintain a clean, professional environment, and anything infused or injected is always sterile. These IV/IM's are administered by licensed, skilled specialists.
Overall, the most accurate answer is, it depends! In-general, vitamins and nutrients taken orally are only partially absorbed, this can be highly variable based on a number of factors-internally, such as your digestive health and other conditions, as well as external, source, quality and type of supplement. We are happy to discuss these with you. Getting vitamins through the IV/IM process is a direct route to the bloodstream/muscles and your cells for maximum absorption. We can discuss any concerns or questions with you, as well as provide you with additional material to discuss with your health care provider(s).
There is a “cocktail” for nearly any condition, and it is recommended for overall well-being! IV nutrient therapy supports:
