IV therapy delivers fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption and powerful results. At Signature Vitality, we start with a brief consultation to determine the right blend for your goals. Our registered nurses clean the insertion site, insert a small IV catheter into a vein, and remove the needle, leaving a flexible tube connected to a sterile IV bag. Over 30-60 minutes, you can relax while your customized infusion flows into your body. Once finished, the catheter is removed and a bandage applied. Many clients report increased energy, improved hydration, and enhanced wellness shortly after their infusion.

IV therapy is safe when performed by licensed professionals who have had training. At Signature Vitality we start with a health screening to determine if you’re a good candidate and tailor the infusion to your needs. Our registered nurses use medical‑grade nutrients and monitor your vitals throughout the session. We follow strict sanitation and protocols. Minor side effects are rare and resolve quickly, like bruising or a cool sensation at the insertion site. Signature Vitality IV specialists are skilled at making the session comfortable and pain free. Choosing an experienced clinic ensures that IV therapy provides benefits such as hydration, immunity and energy support with minimal risk.

IV therapy offers a range of wellness benefits because vitamins and minerals are delivered directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption.

Yes. We recommend eating a light meal or snack and drinking water before your appointment. Having something in your stomach helps maintain blood sugar levels and makes the infusion more comfortable. Staying hydrated also helps us access your veins more easily. Avoid heavy or greasy meals right beforehand; a balanced snack and plenty of water are best.

Most people find IV therapy virtually painless. You may feel a brief pinch as the small needle is inserted, but our experienced nurses, Megan and Lauren, use a tiny catheter and gentle technique to ensure your comfort—even for clients with small or hard‑to‑find veins. The needle is removed immediately after the catheter is placed, so there is no needle left in your arm during the infusion. If you’re concerned about discomfort, we can apply a numbing spray or warm compress to the area. Once the catheter is secure, you can sit back and relax while your personalized blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants flows into your system. Clients often remark that they barely feel the insertion and leave feeling refreshed and energized.

Each IV session starts with a brief check-in and health review. Our experienced nurses, like Megan and Lauren, use a gentle technique to insert the catheter into the bend of your arm (the AC). Most guests say they hardly feel it. Once your drip is flowing, you can relax in a comfortable chair—watch TV, scroll on your phone, read or even nap. We keep an eye on you and adjust the flow if needed. The whole process takes about 45 – 60 minutes, and you can return to your day feeling refreshed.

Most people feel alert and refreshed after an infusion and can safely drive themselves home or return to work. There is no sedation involved, so you’re free to resume normal activities right away. You may feel a bit relaxed or energized depending on the ingredients you receive. We recommend listening to your body—rest if you feel tired and avoid strenuous exercise immediately after a high-dose or performance drip.

Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that roll up easily so we can access your arm. Bring a valid ID and any information about your health or medications. At our studio you’ll relax in a cozy recliner, with blankets and pillows provided. If we come to you, choose a comfortable chair or couch. Feel free to read, watch a show or just rest while your drip runs.

IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your gut. Amino acids like glutamine, vitamin C, and zinc help repair the gut lining and reduce inflammation. Antioxidants like glutathione detoxify and calm irritated tissues. Many feel less bloated and more comfortable after a gut-focused drip, though results vary.

A recovery drip eases hangover symptoms by restoring hydration and key nutrients. We use glutathione and N-acetyl cysteine for detox, B-complex vitamins and magnesium to calm the nervous system, and electrolytes via Lactated Ringer’s solution for quick rehydration. This combination flushes toxins and relieves headache, nausea, and fatigue quickly.

Radiant skin starts at the cellular level. Vitamin C boosts collagen, glutathione detoxifies and brightens, biotin strengthens hair and nails, and GHK-Cu peptides promote repair and regeneration. These nutrients support elasticity, firmness, and overall skin vitality. Your skin also needs hydration to look healthy. Clients report brighter, more youthful glow with consistent anti-aging drips.

IV therapy can combat fatigue by replenishing key nutrients like B12, B‑complex vitamins, magnesium, and NAD+. These ingredients support ATP production in your cells to help restore energy. By delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy bypasses digestion and can work faster than oral supplements.

Migraines often stem from a mix of nervous system instability, inflammation, and nutrient depletion. Triggers like dehydration, magnesium deficiency, oxidative stress, and poor mitochondrial function can all contribute to the onset of a migraine. Research shows that low magnesium and riboflavin (B2) levels impair nerve signaling and blood vessel regulation—two key factors in migraine development. A targeted IV with magnesium, B-complex vitamins (especially B2 and B6), and antioxidants like glutathione or ALA helps calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, improve oxygen flow, and restore cellular energy. For more severe cases, we can add prescription-grade anti-inflammatories for direct pain relief. Clients experience fewer and less intense migraines with regular IV support.

Hormonal cycles can deplete minerals and B vitamins, which may contribute to cramps, mood swings and fatigue. A replenishing IV drip that includes magnesium and calcium to relax muscles, vitamin B6 to support neurotransmitter balance, and amino acids to aid recovery can ease tension and help restore nutrient levels. While results vary, many clients report smoother periods and more stable moods after this type of supportive therapy.

Jet lag throws off your body’s natural rhythm and drains cellular energy. NAD+ helps reset your circadian clock and boosts mitochondrial function, while glutathione and magnesium support detoxification and reduce inflammation from travel. Combined with B12 for mental clarity and immune support, this IV is designed to help your body recover faster and feel balanced post-flight. Many clients say they feel more alert and less wiped out after flying.

IV therapy for mood support focuses on nutrients that help regulate neurotransmitters and promote a calmer nervous system. Magnesium and B vitamins (especially B6, B12, and folate) are involved in serotonin and dopamine production. Amino acids like taurine support relaxation and healthy neurotransmission. NAD+ and vitamin C can enhance cellular energy and reduce oxidative stress that impacts brain function. Many clients feel more balanced and uplifted after a mood support drip, but it should complement—not replace—professional mental health care.

Heat depletes your body fast—often before thirst kicks in. Extended sun or high temps cause rapid fluid and electrolyte loss, which can lead to dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and headaches. Our Hydration IV delivers Lactated Ringer’s, B-complex vitamins, and magnesium to quickly restore balance, support circulation, and relieve symptoms. It’s an effective way torehydrate deeply and recover faster from heat-related exhaustion.

A high-dose vitamin C drip enriched with zinc, selenium and glutathione energizes your immune cells, neutralizes free radicals and reduces inflammation. This combination helps your body fight infections more effectively, so it’s ideal when you’re feeling run‑down or looking to stay ahead of seasonal illness.

Yes — nutrients like NAD+, alpha‑lipoic acid (ALA), B12 and carnitine support mitochondrial energy and neurotransmitter function. This can reduce oxidative stress and improve mental clarity, focus and stamina. Many clients notice clearer thinking after a brain‑boosting drip.

Stress burns through vital nutrients—especially magnesium, B vitamins, and ALA. This targeted drip replenishes what stress depletes. Magnesium calms the nervous system and eases tension. B-complex vitamins and taurine support adrenal balance and neurotransmitter function. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a powerful antioxidant, helps reduce oxidative stress caused by cortisol spikes and supports cellular recovery. Together, they promote a calmer, more resilient mind and body. Many clients feel more centered, focused, and physically at ease after this infusion.

Recovery and performance drips are formulated differently depending on your athletic goals. Recovery IVs contain amino acids like glutamine and taurine to support muscle repair, L carnitine to aid fat metabolism, and magnesium, minerals and electrolytes to reduce cramping and replenish what’s lost during intense training. Performance drips build on this foundation with B‑complex vitamins and NAD+ to enhance cellular energy production and endurance. These nutrients help athletes bounce back faster, maintain hydration and sustain high performance between practices and games.

Glutathione, known as the body's master antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals, recycles vitamins C and E, and aids liver detoxification. Stress and illness can deplete it, so we deliver it intravenously for quick absorption. This boosts detox, immunity, and reduces oxidative stress, helping your cells function at their best.

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system. This allows for nearly 100% absorption, whereas oral supplements can lose potency due to digestion or poor gut absorption. Because the nutrients go straight into circulation, higher therapeutic doses can be administered without causing stomach upset, offering a faster and more efficient way to replenish deficiencies and support optimal cellular function.

High‑dose vitamin C infusions can raise blood levels far beyond what you can achieve with pills because they bypass the limits of gut absorption. In your body, vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, supports collagen synthesis, boosts white blood cell function, and aids tissue repair. Delivering larger amounts intravenously may help reduce inflammation, strengthen immunity and promote wound healing. These drips are often used when you’re recovering from illness or surgery, but doses should be personalized by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a central role in turning the food you eat into usable energy and supports vital processes like DNA repair and healthy gene expression. Stress, poor diet, and aging can deplete your NAD+ levels, which may contribute to fatigue, cognitive decline, and slower recovery. Replenishing NAD+ via IV therapy helps restore mitochondrial function, boost mental clarity, and improve overall energy and cellular resilience.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the body’s messengers — they tell cells when to repair, grow or perform other functions. There are many types of therapeutic peptides, each with a different purpose. For example, some weight‑loss or hormone‑modulating peptides (like GLP‑1 analogs) are given as intramuscular or subcutaneous injections so they’re absorbed slowly. Other peptides, such as glutathione or GHK‑Cu, can be delivered intravenously; these work more like nutrients, helping to support detoxification, tissue repair, and collagen synthesis. Delivering peptides IV bypasses digestion and allows them to reach the bloodstream quickly, while IM injections release them more gradually over time. Your provider can recommend which route and which peptide makes sense for your goals.

Both NAD+ and Niagen (NR) IV therapies are powerful tools to support cellular energy, recovery, and healthy aging — but they work a little differently. NAD+ IV therapy delivers the active coenzyme directly into your bloodstream, fueling mitochondria for energy, focus, and repair. It's ideal for fast-acting support when you're feeling run-down or need to recharge quickly. Niagen (NR) is a pharmaceutical-grade form of nicotinamide riboside, a smaller molecule your body naturally converts into NAD+ inside the cells. Its smaller size allows it to circulate more efficiently, potentially creating higher levels of NAD+ across more tissues with less intensity or discomfort than high-dose NAD+ infusions. Some research suggests Niagen may be up to 4x more efficient at helping the body raise and utilize NAD+ levels. Sessions are also shorter and often easier to tolerate, making it a great fit for those focused on longevity, recovery, or ongoing performance. At Signature Vitality, we offer both NAD+ and Niagen IVs — and we’ll help you choose the right one based on your goals, whether it’s deep cellular repair, stress recovery, brain clarity, or athletic performance.

Because IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, you may feel some effects — such as hydration and a quick energy lift from B vitamins and fluids — within minutes. Minerals and amino acids can produce different sensations; magnesium or taurine, for example, may leave you feeling relaxed rather than energized, and antioxidants like glutathione work quietly to reduce oxidative stress. The full benefits depend on the nutrients used and your body’s needs. Vitamins, minerals and cofactors still have to be taken up by your cells to repair tissues, balance hormones or support immunity, which can take hours to days. Consistency and addressing underlying deficiencies generally produce the best long‑term results.

Lactated Ringer’s solution is a balanced electrolyte fluid containing sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and lactate. Unlike plain saline, which is essentially salt water, LR provides a more physiologic mix of minerals and a small amount of lactate that your body converts to bicarbonate to help keep blood pH stable. It’s often used as the base for our drips because it can rehydrate more efficiently and maintain electrolyte balance. However, not every ingredient mixes well with LR—certain medications and vitamins need a saline base—so our clinical team chooses the appropriate carrier fluid for each blend to ensure compatibility and safety.

A biomarker assessment is a laboratory test that measures the levels of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids in your blood. By analyzing more than 50 micronutrients, it can reveal hidden deficiencies that contribute to fatigue, poor immunity, brain fog and other issues. Once you receive a personalized report, your IV specialist can customize your drips or IM shots to address those specific gaps—so you get targeted support instead of a one-size-fits-all formula.

People with kidney disease, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe electrolyte imbalances should avoid IV therapy due to fluid overload risks. Those with allergies to specific ingredients, rare metabolic disorders, or on interacting medications should consult their doctor. Always disclose your medical history during the consultation to determine if IV therapy is appropriate.

Hydration IVs can be safe for pregnant or breastfeeding clients when prescribed by a doctor. During pregnancy, your fluid and nutrient needs increase, and drips containing electrolytes or vitamin B may be used to relieve dehydration or severe morning sickness. However, high-dose vitamins or medications should be avoided unless recommended by your obstetrician, and all treatments should be overseen by qualified medical staff.

Most people tolerate IV therapy well, but minor risks or side effects can include bruising or soreness at the injection site, or feeling lightheaded if you stand up quickly. Rare risks include infection or allergic reactions to specific vitamins or medications. Clinics minimize these risks by using sterile supplies, screening for allergies, and having trained medical staff monitor you during the infusion. If you feel unwell during your drip, let your provider know immediately.

Yes. Before your first IV therapy session, you’ll complete a health questionnaire and consent form so providers can review your medical history, medications, and allergies. This information allows the clinic to tailor your drip safely and legally. You may be asked to update your history periodically or whenever your health status changes.

IV therapy is generally offered to adults 18 and older. Some clinics provide IV hydration for minors, but only under a doctor’s supervision with parental consent and formulas adjusted for age and weight. Older teens, such as 16 and 17 year‑olds, may be considered with parental consent and medical clearance. Seniors can also benefit from IV therapy, though doses and drip speeds are often reduced to accommodate cardiovascular and kidney considerations.
