IV nutrient therapy is a clinical service that delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream, allowing for efficient absorption and individualized formulation.
Each IV is prepared in-house using professional-grade injectable nutrients and tailored to your clinical presentation, rather than using pre-mixed or standardized infusion bags.
About My Formulations
​
IV Therapy Ingredient Guide
​
My intravenous nutrient therapy is delivered through a clinician-directed, individualized approach using professional-grade injectable nutrients. Each formulation is prepared in-house rather than using pre-mixed infusion bags, allowing for tailored support based on your clinical presentation, health history, and treatment goals. Intravenous delivery allows nutrients to enter directly into the bloodstream, supporting efficient absorption and targeted use within physiological pathways.
​
Normal saline is used as the hydration base for IV therapy. It supports fluid balance and serves as a carrier for nutrient delivery within a monitored clinical setting (StatPearls, 2023).
​
The Signature High Dose Vitamin IV forms the foundation of many formulations. This infusion combines vitamins and minerals involved in energy metabolism, immune function, antioxidant activity, and cellular repair.
​
Vitamin C is included for its role as a primary antioxidant and for its involvement in collagen synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and cellular protection (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2023a).
Magnesium is included because it is required for hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including those involved in ATP production, nerve signaling, and muscle function (NIH, 2022).
B-complex vitamins are included as essential cofactors in metabolic pathways that convert nutrients into cellular energy and support nervous system function (NIH, 2023b). Vitamin B6 contributes to neurotransmitter synthesis and protein metabolism (NIH, 2023c), while vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, is required for the production of coenzyme A, a central molecule in energy metabolism (NIH, 2022b). Active folate, provided as MTHF, is included for its role in DNA synthesis, methylation pathways, and cellular turnover (NIH, 2023d).
Zinc is included as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions and plays a role in immune function, tissue repair, and cellular metabolism (NIH, 2023e). When included, trace minerals such as selenium, copper, manganese, and chromium contribute to antioxidant systems, metabolic pathways, and enzymatic function (NIH, 2023f).
​
The NeuroCalm Support IV builds on this foundation with an emphasis on nervous system regulation. Magnesium remains a primary component due to its role in neuromuscular stability and regulation of nerve signaling (NIH, 2022). Taurine is included because it plays a role in central nervous system function, cellular stability, and calcium regulation (Ripps & Shen, 2012). Glycine is included as an inhibitory neurotransmitter that contributes to nervous system balance and cellular protection (Wang et al., 2023). Together, these ingredients support calming pathways and autonomic regulation.
​
The Max Resilience IV is designed to support recovery following sustained stress and increased physiological demand. Additional vitamin C is included to support antioxidant pathways and recovery processes (NIH, 2023a). Additional B vitamins and pantothenic acid support energy metabolism and pathways involved in stress adaptation (NIH, 2022b). Trace minerals are included to provide cofactors for enzymatic reactions and cellular resilience (NIH, 2023f). Glycine and taurine contribute to nervous system stability and recovery. Carnitine is included because it plays a key role in transporting fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production (NIH, 2023g). In selected cases, procaine may be incorporated for its local anesthetic and neuromodulatory properties, although the evidence base for its use in integrative IV formulations is more limited compared to core nutrient therapies (Cassuto et al., 2020).
​
The Mitochondria IV is designed to support cellular energy production and recovery. Carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are included because of their role in mitochondrial fatty acid transport and ATP production (NIH, 2023g; Malaguarnera, 2012). Trace minerals are included to support enzymatic pathways involved in energy metabolism. NAD is included because it is a key coenzyme in cellular redox reactions and energy production pathways, derived from niacin and essential to mitochondrial function (NIH, 2023h). These components are selected to support energy demand, cognitive performance, and recovery.
The Migraine Support IV modifies the base formulation to emphasize neuromuscular and neurovascular stability. Magnesium is the primary component, as it plays a central role in nerve transmission, vascular tone, and neuromuscular regulation (NIH, 2022). Taurine and glycine are included to support inhibitory neurotransmission and neuronal stability (Ripps & Shen, 2012; Wang et al., 2023). Carnitine is included to support mitochondrial function, which is increasingly recognized as relevant in migraine physiology (NIH, 2023g). In selected patients, procaine may be used for its neuromodulatory and local anesthetic properties (Cassuto et al., 2020). Vitamin C and B vitamins remain in the formulation to support antioxidant activity and metabolic pathways.
​
The Athletic IV is designed to support recovery, hydration, and metabolic demand in active individuals. Taurine is included due to its role in muscle function, cellular regulation, and exercise physiology (Waldron et al., 2018). Additional B-complex vitamins support energy metabolism during periods of increased physical demand (NIH, 2023b). Carnitine contributes to mitochondrial energy production and recovery (NIH, 2023g). In some cases, procaine may be incorporated, though this remains a more specialized component.
All IV therapies are prescribed and administered following clinical assessment. Formulations are individualized based on your health history, current symptoms, medications, and treatment goals. The information above is provided for educational purposes and reflects the physiological roles of these nutrients within the body.
