IV Infusion Therapy and How It Works

Get Relief with the Premier Choice in Ketamine Therapy & IV Hydration in Sacramento and Roseville.

Many of our community members in the Sacramento and Roseville region are exploring IV infusion therapy. At Klearmind, we receive lots of questions about understanding how it works. The word intravenous is also known by the acronym “IV”. A regular method of nutrient delivery, IV therapy is a method of administering fluids into the body via the veins. This is the fastest way to deliver essential nutrients, bypassing the digestive system. When we are properly hydrated and have the right levels of vitamins and minerals in our system, we can perform more optimally.

What Is Infusion Therapy?

An IV fluid infusion (sometimes called an IV drip) involves a small tube called a catheter and a saline-based electrolyte solution that contains the essential vitamins and nutrients we we work closely with each client to customize and select. An IV infusion delivers these essential nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream. As opposed to going through your digestive system, there is no wait time, and the nutrition is instantly available to address your body’s wellness needs.

What Is In An IV Infusion?

At Klearmind Clinics, we offer a wide range of IV Infusions & Wellness solutions to support our clients’ optimal health and wellness. Some IV infusions contain electrolytes and salts. Others contain NAD+, vitamins, and antioxidants. We customize the solution based the needs of each client.

The most common ingredients that go into IVs include:

Saline. A solution of salt in water. This is the most common type of fluid for IVs. A Saline solution is perfect for dehydration and hangovers.
Vitamins and Antioxidants. Essential micronutrients can give us a boost of energy, strengthen our immune system, and increase our productivity levels.
Electrolytes. Rehydrate our bodies, regulate nerve and muscle function, regulate stress, blood pressure, and more. In addition to sodium, our bodies needs bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, and phosphate. These are all forms of electrolytes.

Are IV Infusions Safe?

Yes, IV infusion therapy is very safe. All patients meet with our Board Certified anesthesiologist and licensed medical team for a thorough health screening before any recommendations. All IV infusions are administered by a registered nurse and highly rated clinicians. Before any client receives IV infusion therapy, we evaluate their health history and discuss their unique goals.

Side effects from an IV infusion are generally non-existent or very mild. You may experience some discomfort, bruising, itching, or redness at or around the site of injection. Similar to when getting fluids at the hospital, this could last from a few minutes to a few days.

How Often Should I Get An IV Infusion?

At Klearmind, most of our clients receive IV infusion therapy 1-2 times a month. This is our recommended frequency and well-tolerated among our clients. We take a tailored approach for each treatment to meet your individual needs. For preventative health and wellness, we recommend two IV drips per month, as this helps balance out any vitamin deficiencies.

A common question we get asked is whether each IV infusion should be the same or different. Our IV drips include options for stress relief, mental clarity, energy, hangover support, and weight management.
