IV THERAPY
The human body requires a specific amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to maintain its normal functions. While the exact levels of nutrients an individual requires will vary from person to person, many people fall short when it comes to ingesting their daily nutrients. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 10% of the U.S. population is deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. Many of these nutrients are critical to their overall health and well-being, such as vitamin C, D, B6, B12 and iron.
The demands of day-to-day life can make it difficult to supplement your body with the amount of essential nutrients needs. While a poor, unhealthy diet is one of the most significant contributors to a vitamin or mineral deficiency, some people may also struggle with impaired nutrient absorption due to underlying health conditions. Even if you try to restore these deficiencies on your own with a daily multivitamin, your body is only capable of absorbing a fraction of the nutrients through the digestion process. That is where IV Therapy at BodySymmetryMD comes in.
WHAT IS IV THERAPY?
When you picture being hooked up to an IV drip, one of the first things that may come to mind is being in a hospital or emergency room. Intravenous (IV) Therapy has been utilized in the medical community for decades to seamlessly deliver fluids, medications and nutrients directly into the circulatory system of patients. This ensures faster and more effective nutrient absorption than delivering these via oral pills. Today, IV Therapy is readily available outside of hospitals for anyone who wishes to boost their overall physical and emotional wellness, or to quickly resolve a specific symptom or ailment.
By delivering a high concentration of vitamins, minerals or medications directly into your bloodstream, IV Therapy allows your body to productively reap the benefits without any of the nutrients going to waste. While your digestive system must expend energy to metabolize supplemental pills, an IV drip administers its ingredients directly into your veins for your cells to immediately absorb and put to use. IV Therapy can also help to boost your immune system to fend off common illnesses like the cold or flu; however, you do not have to be physically unwell to undergo the treatment. Today, IV Therapy offers a variety of concoctions that can be formulated to increase energy, improve athletic performance and even prevent signs of aging.
In as little as 30 to 45 minutes, a visit to the IV bar at any one of our locations can help you to look and feel drastically better using the natural nutrients your body needs to function. Once your IV drip therapy is completed, you will immediately be able to resume your daily activities without the hassle of downtime for recovery.

This easy and affordable add-on is a great way to boost the effects of your IV and can be done at the same time as you receive your IV Therapy.

B-complex vitamins are also added because of their ability to produce energy from carbohydrates.

GLUTATHIONE IV
Glutathione is the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant and is found in every cell in the body. Glutathione is a Tri-peptide composed of three amino acids (Glutamic Acid, Cysteine and Glycine) that bolsters the immune system and helps neutralize damaging free radicals, helping prevent cancer. Our Glutathione stores decrease as we age and as we are exposed to environmental toxins, cigarette smoke, poor diets and drugs. Glutathione in particular is not very effective when ingested orally due to the stomach dissolving it before it can be fully absorbed. If you are not suffering from a medical condition, this IV Therapy supports overall health and wellness by improving immune health, the appearance of your skin, hair and nails and your energy levels.
This IV Therapy can help improve a variety of conditions including:
- Aging dementia
- AIDS
- Auto-immune disorders
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Epilepsy
- Heart disease
- Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, MS and Alzheimer’s
HYDRATION IV
This IV nourishes and hydrates depleted cells and is ideal after the loss of excess fluids from intense exercise, a long day at the beach or a stomach virus. The Hydration IV uses large dose of fluids, B vitamins and electrolytes such as potassium, sodium and zinc to re-hydrate your body. This IV is a great way to circulate fluids through your body to quickly replenishing fluids in a way that simply drinking fluids cannot. If you are needing deep rehydration, this IV may be for you.
IMMUNE BOOSTER IV

LATE NIGHT OUT IV
If you’ve ever had one too many drinks after a night of debauchery, you are probably well aware of the adverse effects drinking too much can have on the body. Headaches, nausea, fatigue, irritability and sensitivity to light are just a few unpleasant symptoms a person may experience after drinking excessively. While most hangovers will subside on their own, they can often leave you out of commission for hours or even a full day.
Hangovers are caused by dehydration, inflammation and oxidative stress. Alcohol contributes to the reduction of many B vitamins and other essential nutrients, especially when used heavily. Our Late Night Out IV cocktail contains a combination of B-complex vitamins, minerals and medications such as Zofran (for nausea) and Ketorolac (for reducing inflammation in the body).
The Late Night Out IV can give you your day back by quickly by replenishing your fluids and easing your hangover symptoms such as:
- Dehydration
- Fatigue
- Headaches or migraines
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Soreness or aches
MIGRAINE RELIEF
More than 20 million Americans suffer from migraines, vascular headaches that can cause a disabling cascade of symptoms. Certain brain structures and chemicals are suspected to play an important role in migraines and play their part with blood vessels such as magnesium, which affects serotonin receptors, nitric oxide receptors and NMDA receptors. In the brain, fluctuating serotonin levels can send blood vessels into spasm and creates the symptoms of a migraine. There is scientific evidence that supports magnesium can aid in the prevention and treatment of migraine and cluster headaches. Magnesium is a safe alternative to try for those suffering from recurring or disabling migraines or other types of headaches.
In high doses, Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, can also help reduce the incidence of migraines by helping the brain cells utilize energy. Researchers have found that some who get migraines may not have enough energy stored in their brain cells. Riboflavin helps the enzymes in the body tap into the energy stored in those cells.
This IV includes Lidocaine, B-Complex, Magnesium Sulfate, Calcium Chloride, Ketorolac and more. If you are looking to reduce your headaches and migraines, this IV is for you.
MYER’S COCKTAIL IV
The Myers cocktail refers to a powerful blend of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that was developed by the late Dr. John Myers in the 1960’s to promote healing for a broad range of symptoms and illnesses. The ingredients included in the traditional Myer’s Cocktail IV contains a mixture of vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium and calcium to boost energy, combat depression, improve athletic performance and more.

PAIN RELIEF IV
Chronic pain may originate with an initial trauma/injury or infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain due to past injury or body damage. With chronic pain, signals of pain remain active in the nervous system for months or even years. When under consistent pain, even the body’s most basic defenses can be compromised and there is considerable evidence this can suppress your immune system. This IV helps replace some of the key vitamins that can help with pain perception and relief and contains Lidocaine, B12, Glutathione, Magnesium and Calcium Chloride. If you are looking to manage and reduce pain or even migraines, this IV Therapy may be right for you.
STRESS & ANXIETY IV
The Stress & Anxiety IV is a great option for those trying to reduce acute cases of anxiety and/or depression as well stifle the onset of age-related memory loss. This intravenous infusion has the powerful amino acids such as GABA, taurine, theanine, vitamin B12 and the “relaxation” mineral know as magnesium, to help with mental and physical relaxation. This IV was designed to help you attain optimal neurotransmitter function. It provides important B vitamins, which play key roles in the formation and breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine as well as vitamin C which helps produce norepinephrine. If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, memory loss, Alzheimer’s or are wanting to prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia, this IV Therapy may be a great option for you.
SUPERCHARGED MYER’S COCKTAIL IV
As its name suggests, the Supercharged Myer’s Cocktail is based on the Myer’s Cocktail IV, but contains a higher dosage of nutrients, including tri-amino acids, for a more powerful boost to your physical and mental health. This formulation of the Myer’s Cocktail works to remove free radicals, which can prevent cancer, and aids in proper immune function while neutralizing any toxins present in the liver.

VITAMIN C IV
This IV Therapy is a high concentration of Vitamin C that is designed to boost the immune system through its antioxidant function. Unlike most mammals and other animals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin C. Therefore, we must obtain vitamin C through our diet. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of Neurotransmitters, which are critical for brain function.
The National Cancer Institute states that high-dose vitamin C IV therapy has been studied as a treatment for patients with cancer since the 1970s and that laboratory studies have shown that high doses of vitamin C may slow the growth and spread of prostate, pancreatic, liver, colon, and other types of cancer cells. Some human studies of high dose IV vitamin C in patients with cancer have shown improved quality of life, as well as improvements in physical, mental, and emotional functions, symptoms of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, and appetite loss.
High doses of Vitamin C are also helpful if you are facing high amount of dress, if you need to strengthen your immune system, fight viral or bacterial infections or if you are feeling excess fatigue. This is also useful if you need to restore your skin after experiencing sun damage. This IV Therapy is great before travel and is a good preventative measure to help you keep from getting sick.
