IV Hydration & Wellness
IV hydration and wellness therapy involves the administration of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This method allows for rapid absorption and immediate effects, making it a popular choice for various health and wellness purposes. Here’s a detailed description of IV hydration and wellness therapy:
Purpose and Benefits
Rehydration: IV hydration is highly effective for quickly rehydrating the body, especially after intense physical activity, illness, or dehydration caused by various factors like heat, alcohol consumption, or inadequate fluid intake.
Nutrient Delivery: By delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy ensures 100% absorption, bypassing the digestive system, which can sometimes limit nutrient uptake.
Health and Wellness: IV wellness treatments can improve energy levels, enhance immune function, promote detoxification, and support overall health. They are used for various purposes, including boosting the immune system, improving skin health, and enhancing mental clarity.
Common Ingredients in IV Therapy
Fluids: Saline or electrolyte solutions are used to rehydrate the body and balance electrolytes.
Vitamins: Commonly included vitamins are Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), and Vitamin D.
Minerals: Magnesium, calcium, zinc, and other essential minerals support various bodily functions.
Amino Acids: These building blocks of protein can aid in muscle recovery and overall health.
Antioxidants: Glutathione and other antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress and promote detoxification.
Types of IV Therapy
Hydration Therapy: Primarily focuses on rehydrating the body and restoring electrolyte balance.
Myers’ Cocktail: A popular blend of vitamins and minerals designed to boost energy, support the immune system, and promote overall well-being.
Immune Boost: Formulated with high doses of Vitamin C, zinc, and other nutrients to strengthen immune function.
Detoxification: Includes antioxidants like glutathione to support liver function and detoxify the body.
Beauty Drips: Contain vitamins and antioxidants that promote healthy skin, hair, and nails.
Performance and Recovery: Tailored for athletes and active individuals, these drips contain amino acids, electrolytes, and vitamins to aid in muscle recovery and enhance performance.
Procedure
Initial Consultation: A healthcare professional assesses the patient’s health status, medical history, and specific needs to determine the appropriate IV therapy.
Preparation: The IV solution is prepared based on the patient’s requirements. The patient is seated or reclined comfortably.
IV Insertion: A healthcare professional inserts a small catheter into a vein, usually in the arm, and the IV solution is administered over a period of 30 minutes to an hour.
Monitoring: During the infusion, the patient is monitored for any adverse reactions, though such reactions are typically rare.
Safety and Considerations
Qualified Providers: IV therapy should be administered by qualified healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or licensed practitioners.
Individualized Treatment: The therapy should be tailored to individual needs and conditions. Not all patients will require the same IV formulations.
Potential Risks: While generally safe, IV therapy can have risks such as infection at the injection site, vein inflammation, or allergic reactions. It’s essential to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider.
Who Can Benefit
Dehydrated Individuals: Those experiencing dehydration due to illness, exercise, or environmental factors.
Athletes: Individuals seeking rapid recovery and improved performance.
Frequent Travelers: People who experience jet lag or frequent travel-related fatigue.
Individuals with Nutrient Deficiencies: Those needing immediate replenishment of specific vitamins or minerals.
Patients with Chronic Conditions: Individuals with conditions that affect nutrient absorption or increase nutritional needs.
In summary, IV hydration and wellness therapy offers a convenient and effective way to rapidly deliver essential fluids and nutrients to the body. With a variety of formulations tailored to specific health and wellness goals, it can support hydration, nutrient replenishment, immune function, and overall well-being when administered by qualified healthcare professionals.
NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) injections and IV therapy are used to replenish levels of this essential coenzyme in the body. NAD+ is crucial for cellular metabolism, energy production, DNA repair, and overall cell function. These therapies aim to enhance physical and mental performance, support recovery, and promote overall wellness.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a vital role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function.
It is involved in redox reactions, transferring electrons from one reaction to another, which is essential for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of cells.
NAD+ is also important for activating enzymes known as sirtuins, which are involved in aging, inflammation, and stress resistance.

IV Hydration Q & A
What is IV hydration?
IV hydration is the delivery of fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This approach is the fastest and most effective way to help you reach proper hydration levels.
Most of the time, you’re able to stay properly hydrated by drinking water and other beverages throughout the day. In some situations, however, your body isn’t able to keep up with your hydration demands. That’s where IV hydration therapy comes into play.
What are some symptoms of dehydration?
Dehydration can sneak up on you, and you often won’t experience symptoms until you’re well past the point that hydration was needed. If you’re even mildly dehydrated, you may experience a combination of the following:
- Thirst
- Headache
- Muscle cramping
- Dark urine
- Cool, dry skin
- Rapid heartbeat
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Fatigue

When is IV hydration necessary?
One scenario that could be vastly improved by IV hydration involves a moderate-to-severe hangover. A night on the town can leave you woefully dehydrated, and the result can be fatigue, headache, body aches, and a generally terrible morning. Even worse, the effects can linger throughout the day as you try to restore hydration levels.
A hangover feels like all of your body’s cells are screaming out for hydration, which is not far from what’s actually taking place. IV hydration can get you where you need to be in a short period of time.
Another example is a case of food poisoning. When contaminated food hits your digestive system, your body responds with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The last thing you want to do is drink anything, even though that’s exactly what’s needed. IV hydration helps you regain the proper balance and can soothe the symptoms of food poisoning.
Your IV hydration experience can be customized to suit your specific needs. Vitamins, minerals, or other micronutrients can be added to your solution to achieve the best possible results.
Is mobile IV hydration available?
The team at Nashville Health Pro is proud to offer mobile IV hydration services. When you’re already feeling under the weather, there’s no need to make your day any more inconvenient.

If dehydration is moderate-to-severe, schedule an appointment with Nashville Health Pro. Your treatment is administered by skilled and experienced medical professionals.
