• What is IV nutrient therapy?

  What is IV nutrient therapy?

  Medical professionals have relied on IV therapy as a safe and respected method of delivering fluids, medications, and nutrients for more than 100 years.

  IV nutrient therapy is comprised of a combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that target your specific needs. Infusing the therapy directly into your bloodstream bypasses the gastrointestinal system, which is better for absorption and eliminates the possibility of stomach upset.

  What should I expect during IV nutrient therapy?

  IV nutrient therapy is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Once you are settled into a comfortable chair at the California Wellness Institute, Dr. Rajaratnam will insert a very small IV needle into your vein. For the next 20-60 minutes, you can relax until the infusion is complete. During this time, you can read, nap, listen to music or browse your phone. You will likely experience immediate benefits from the infusion, including feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and energized.

  Some patients require a series of IV nutrient therapy sessions to achieve optimal results. Dr. Rajaratnam will recommend the right treatment for you.
