Types of Nutritional IV Therapy
Types of Nutritional IV Therapy
We offer nutritional IV therapy at our Serenity Health Care Center functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee.
Our nutritional IV therapies facilitate wellness through the speedy delivery of natural, restorative, healing ingredients. Intravenous injections of robust infusions comprising vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids bypass the stomach and liver and go directly into the bloodstream, achieving fast, powerful results.
Depending on the infusion mix you select, Serenity’s IV therapies will:
- Increase your daily energy levels
- Improve your digestion
- Help prevent dehydration
- Reduce cold and flu symptoms
- Boost your immune system
- Reduce inflammation
Why Should You Get Nutritional (Vitamin) IV Therapy?
At Serenity Health Care Center, we believe in helping our patients take responsibility for their health. We find that patients who manage their health are empowered to feel and be their best. Our IV therapies support the pursuit of health and wellbeing!
Nutritional IV therapy (sometimes called IV Vitamin Therapy) is about getting important healthy ingredients into the body with no barriers to absorption.
Vitamins delivered intravenously go right into the bloodstream for immediate and maximum absorption. Consider a Vitamin C delivery by IV. It achieves 50 times greater concentration in the blood over Vitamin C that is taken orally and must be processed in the stomach and liver before being dispatched into the bloodstream.
Nutritional IV therapy provides instant absorption and circulation of ingredients.

How Nutritional IV Therapy Works
Nutritional IV Therapy is the intravenous delivery of potent, healthful infusions. These infusions contain the building blocks for robust health, plus warrior agents that fight inflammation and disease.
All-natural ingredients include Vitamin C, Vitamin D, B Vitamins, Zinc, Glutathione, Magnesium, Folic Acid, Amino Acids, NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and others.
Not all infusions are alike. We offer different cocktails that address the issues listed above, as well as infusions that go to work on:
mental fatigue, lack of focus, anxiety, depression, addictions, collagen deficiency, poor skin quality, headaches, tiredness, soreness, stress, sluggish metabolism, allergies, chemo side effects, body aches, malaise, exhaustion, and more
What Happens During an IV Therapy Session?
Before your nutritional IV therapy session, our professional Serenity staff will run bloodwork (if necessary) to make sure you are a candidate for this type of treatment. (See below for people who may not or should not get Nutritional IV therapy.) Additionally, we evaluate your health history and check your vital signs.
On the day of your therapy, we invite you to dress comfortably. We provide a pleasant, comfortable setting in which you may sit or recline and relax while receiving the IV infusion. You will find healthy snacks and refreshing drinks in the rooms.
Some patients choose to close their eyes and listen to music during their session. Others read, watch movies, or work on their devices. Your activities during the IV session are completely up to you.
One of our trained and experienced nurses administers the IV treatment. The infusion does not hurt. You may feel the initial small prick of the needle, and you may sense a slight weight in your arm as the ingredients begin to flow in. Other than those sensations, most patients feel nothing.
Depending on which infusion you have selected, its delivery lasts from 30 minutes to two hours. After the session, you are free to resume all your normal activities immediately.
Who Should Not Receive Nutritional IV Therapy?
Some people’s bodies cannot tolerate powerful vitamin infusions. These include:
- Pregnant women
- Frequent smokers
- People who suffer from renal or cardiac dysfunction
- Newly diagnosed cancer patients
- People with certain genetic factors
