What is IV therapy?

IV therapy at SoCal Wellness is an infusion of fluids and nutrients designed to rehydrate you, balance electrolytes and other nutrients, and boost energy. It may contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), or other health-promoting ingredients. 

This treatment offers an array of wellness benefits based on your individualized needs. Your provider inserts a needle into one of your veins and infuses an IV drip directly into your bloodstream for immediate absorption.

Which IV therapy treatment is best for me?
