What is an IV infusion?

An IV infusion is a treatment that delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream. 

IV infusions typically include ingredients such as:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin B-12
• B-complex vitamins
• Magnesium
• Glutathione
• L-carnitine 

Each ingredient has powerful benefits, and IV therapy often combines ingredients to provide the effects you need. 

What are the effects of IV infusions? 

IV infusions have varying effects based on your specific formula and the reason you’re having the treatment. Some of the many reasons that people have IV therapy include: 

• Headaches and migraines
• Flu symptoms
• Jet-lag
• Chronic fatigue
• Dehydration
• Hangovers
• Morning sickness
• Athletic recovery

IV infusions are also a powerful way to enhance your overall health and wellness. When you’re not getting all the nutrients you need from food, you can experience a variety of problems like low energy, insomnia, and irritability, but IV infusions can provide any nutrients you lack and help you feel your best. 

What can I expect during my IV infusion?

The Honeycomb Clinic offers a comfortable environment where you can relax as you receive an IV infusion through an arm vein. A bag of fluids (your nutrients) trickles into your arm through a very thin catheter over about 30-60 minutes. 

You might have some minor coldness at the site of the catheter, but that fades as soon as your treatment ends. You can have a quick nap, read a book, or watch tv during your infusion if you like. 

Many people feel better by the end of their infusion, and you’re free to return to regular activities right away.  

Is an IV infusion comparable to taking oral supplements?

While most nutrients are available orally, that delivery method doesn’t compare to IV infusion. 

A couple of advantages of IV infusion include:

Faster delivery

When you take an oral supplement, it travels from your mouth through your digestive system before you feel any benefits. With IV infusion, you skip that lengthy process and experience immediate effects. 

Better nutrient absorption

With oral supplements, you lose a great deal of nutrients during digestion. So, when you take a dose of supplements, it’s likely you’ll actually absorb about half of it or even less. With IV infusion you absorb 100% of the nutrients.
