Vitamin IV Therapy

It really depends on your lifestyle and what you are looking to get out of it. Two opposite ends of the spectrum: We have professional athletes (i.e. MMA fighters, NFL players, crossfit competitors) when they are training for a big event or competition, they will be doing the drips twice a week; whereas, other people can get on a regimen to do them once every 4-6 weeks. However, it is something you need to be consistent with in order to maintain an optimal healthy lifestyle.

It also depends how nutrient depleted you are (go into offering micronutrient testing and blood testing at this point). We actually have ways to test your blood levels to see exactly what nutrients you are deficient in or if there are some other underlying issues going on. In the beginning you may have to do the drips more frequently to get yourself to that optimal level. Then you will listen to your body’s cues when you are ready for your next drip.

IV therapy is a great service for improving both physical and mental health. It is considered generally safe for most individuals.Great candidates are those with specific concerns like migraines, fatigue,generalized malaise or getting sick frequently.It improves your overall wellbeing.

IV therapy is not for those who are:

Pregnant or breastfeeding

Are in generally poor health

Have a history of heart disease or have uncontrolled high blood pressure

Have had an organ transplant or undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Not recommended for people taking anticonvulsants,some antibiotics or nitrate containing medications for high blood pressure.

Proceed with caution if history of kidney stones or liver failure.

When you take vitamins orally, they have to go through your digestive system, be broken down and then absorbed. By then, you are only getting about 20-30% of the actual dose. With IV nutrient therapy, you are guaranteed 100% direct absorption into the bloodstream, so your body is going to be able to utilize the nutrients to reach your optimum level of performance. You cannot reach this level with oral vitamins. Even if you are taking vitamins by mouth and eating healthy. Our soil is so nutrient depleted that it is impossible to get the proper level of nutrients we need from the foods we eat.

Yes, IV Nutritional Therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream allowing the body to absorb 100% of nutrients infused. Direct access to the bloodstream bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the body’s organs to obtain all of the benefits of each nutrient. Vitamins and supplements taken orally must first be broken

down through the gastrointestinal tract in order for the body to absorb and use those vitamins and supplements. This process reduces the nutrient absorption rate significantly. Also, these are all water-soluble vitamins, same as we get from the foods that we eat, just in a higher concentration. Anything that the body feels it does not need will be excreted.

Even if you are taking vitamins by mouth and eating “clean & healthy”, it’s important to know our soil is so nutrient depleted that it is impossible to get the proper level of nutrients we need from the foods we eat. Also your body may still not absorb all of the nutrients you consume via food. A common instance of this is Vitamin D.

Normal Saline, B complex vitamins including Thiamine HCl , Riboflavin 5- Phosphate, Niacinamide, Dexpanthenol, Pyridoxine HCl , Cyanocobalamin , Ascorbic acid ,Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Gluconate, Glutathione . A mix of natural compounds called essential and nonessential amino acids can sometimes be present.

Not all IV drips have all the ingredients.

Based on your symptoms or needs, we will select which IV therapy will best suit you. Our team can also customize any IV therapy package by adding vitamins and explaining their advantage to you.

The energy you get from IV nutrient therapy is natural energy, not chemically induced energy, like from caffeine or redbull. It will not cause you to feel jittery. You will not experience the caffeine “crash” and it will not cause sleeplessness at night.

You’re not going to walk out of here feeling like superman…it’s more a feeling of liveliness and not being so exhausted after a day’s work. Most people have come to accept that feeling tired after working all day is normal, but it is not. If we had our optimal levels of nutrients in our body, we would not be feeling this way. Side Note:

After clients have their infusion, they might actually feel more relaxed at first. This is due to a few factors: First, we are providing a very relaxed environment during the infusion, going along with our motto: Relax the mind, while you replenish the body.” Also, especially infusions with Glutathione, the client will go through a “detox period” which might make them feel a little tired, and once complete, they will begin to feel energized.

Yes, we provide all guests with a breakdown of each signature drip.

Examples of ingredients include: Vitamin C, B Vitamins, amino acids, minerals and glutathione. ** Reference IV Formula Guide for specifics

Drips are all-natural and do not contain steroids, synthetics, placebos, or medicine of any kind. Most nutrients are preservative-free, while others require them to have a health impact.

Yes, we offer various packages. Packages are available for all nutrient infusions in quantities of 4, 8 and 12 infusions. All packages are priced affordably and designed for each lifestyle.

Everyone is different. It really depends on your lifestyle. In general, every 2 to 4 weeks is ideal. With that said, depending on lifestyle and the body’s demand will determine how often someone should undergo IV nutrient therapy. Someone who lives a moderate lifestyle with a day job and exercises a few times a week will benefit from IV nutrient therapy on a monthly basis. Professional athletes will require less time between infusions than someone who has a moderate lifestyle. This is particularly important if athletes are training for a marathon or competition. A person who is treating medical conditions and/or vitamin deficiencies, the time in between each infusion will vary depending on the medical condition(s) and course of treatment. It is always best to check with your practitioner for your individual needs.

IV therapy is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal risk.

Sometimes minor bruising around the puncture site of IV catheter, inflammation and bleeding upon removal of IV catheter can occur.

Potential side effects include mild Headache, Dizziness, Nausea or some soreness at IV insertion site for 24-48 hours following IV therapy.

Occasional allergic reactions can happen to one or more of the ingredients in the IV therapy. Our highly trained staff at A la Mode is fully equipped to mitigate and treat if this happens.

Every practice is different and some offer access to nutritionists who can design diets aimed at increasing energy, weight loss, or solving vitamin deficiencies, depending on what the client is experiencing.

All staff members are board certified and licensed in the state of California as Nurse, Physician Assistant or Medical Doctor. Staff members who administer IV therapy have been trained appropriately to deliver safe and effective results with no adverse reactions.

Specifically, how can these drips assist cancer patients? Each medical issue and disease is different. An example for cancer is immunotherapy, which is great for boosting, improving and aiding the immune system to fight off cancer cells.

The bloodstream is a transporter for many things in the body and nutrients are one of them. Nutrients do not remain in the bloodstream entirely, nutrients are transported in the bloodstream directly to cells, where nutrients from IV infusions are used.
