How does IV therapy work?

An IV drip delivers essential nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream. This allows the nutrients to bypass the digestive tract for 100% absorption instead of 10-20% with oral supplements. Going right into the blood stream the nutrients can start working at a much higher dose right away without the side effects of high dosing oral supplements.

How many IVs will I need before I feel better?

At Higher Health , we like to start with an intro series of 1x/week for 4-6 weeks. Within that time, people can usually feel a difference. Some notice it right away after 1-2 treatments, while for others, it takes a bit longer, dependent on health history and conditions being treated.

What goes into a typical IV bag?

A base IV drip bag contains Vitamin C, Magnesium, calcium, minerals, B vitamins, specific amino acids and antioxidants. Depending on your health goals, we add additional nutrients.

How long does an IV take?

Depending on the size of your IV drip bag and nutrients added, an IV Drip can take anywhere from 25 minutes to over an hour.

How often should I do an IV?

This depends on your treatment plan and health goals. Most people start with 2-4 IVs their first month and see how they feel. Our NDs will stay connected with you to ensure you are getting the optimal treatment for you.

What does an IV cost?

IVs can range from $99-185 depending on the nutrients administered.

Is IV therapy safe?

Yes. IV Therapy has been used for over 60 years and is very safe. There are numerous studies on the safety of IV Therapy which can be read in the research section. With our personal experience, we have been using IV Therapy treatments since 2011 with great success.

Is IV safe during pregnancy?

Yes, IV therapy is safe during pregnancy. IV therapy can provide extra hydration, vitamins, and nutrients to help support you throughout your pregnancy.

I’m afraid of needles, can I still get an IV?

At this time the only way to get IV nutrients directly into your blood stream is with a needle. The good news we use the smallest needles possible (different than blood draw needles) and some people don’t even feel it being inserted. We also use various techniques and strategies to ensure comfort during the insertion process.

What is a Glutathione IV?

In the last year Glutathione IVs have become very popular because it can help make your skin radiate a healthy ‘glow’. Glutathione is a key nutrient/molecule within our bodies that recycles antioxidants and quenches oxidants. By doing so, it works to minimize overall oxidative stress, which in turn reduces inflammation and repairs cellular function. Not only will you have glowing skin, but you will also have healthier tissue within your body, which is most important. Glutathione is a very powerful antioxidant that has many benefits for your overall health. You can read more on our Glutathione IV by clicking here.

Are there any side effects from getting an IV?

Side effects, though rare, can still happen. This would be slight irritation to the insertion area, showing as a bruise that resolves quickly.

What does an IV cost?

IVs can range from $99-185 depending on the nutrients administered.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 star experience at Higher Health. Beginning with the initial consult, Dr. Tara was incredibly thorough and knowledgable. The nurse on her team reviewed my case in detail & I had an iron infusion done today. During the procedure, the team at Higher Health went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable & provide optimal care. Highly recommend and look forward to returning for more treatments.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started IV therapy last year at Higher Health after discovering I had a Vitamin D deficiency. I completed four IV therapy sessions along with a Vitamin D infusion, and after six months, my blood work is now optimal—and I’m feeling great. The experience at Higher Health is exceptional. The space is incredibly peaceful, and they even offer Red Light Therapy, which made my time there feel even more relaxing and restorative. I was treated by Dr. Tara, who was wonderful, but truly, everyone at the clinic is professional, kind, and welcoming. I highly recommend Higher Health and look forward to continuing my visits!
