What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is an intravenous method of getting nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, directly into your bloodstream.

The major difference between taking a supplement orally and an IV infusion is the amount of supplement that you actually absorb or the bioavailability. Many oral supplements have very low bioavailability, which means you may absorb as little as a small fraction of the nutrients you ingest. It’s the same with the food you eat — you absorb as little as 10% of the nutrients in food.

IV infusion gives you 100% absorption, and it happens immediately. The Optimal Health Miami team discusses your individual health needs and goals with you to help you choose an IV infusion that can help you rejuvenate, restore, and reclaim your health.

What is IV therapy used for?

Whether it’s trying to beat an illness, boost your appearance, increase strength, improve your brain power, or enhance your long-term health and wellness, these all-natural infusions can be a great choice when you’re trying to be the best possible you. Common uses include:

Hydration and supplementation of nutrients before and after surgical procedures.
Address vitamin deficiencies with multiple combination drips.
Enhance athletic performance by strengthening bones and muscles while obtaining better stamina
Boost energy levels and cognitive functions
Enhance the appearance of hair, skin, and nails with our beauty vitamin drip combinations
Boost immune system to fight allergies, the common cold, and even recover from the flu

IV therapy uses the most powerful nutrients and combines them in a specific way to maximize immediate effects and health benefits.

Is IV therapy right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for IV therapy, Dr. Gittelman discusses your medical history, asks about your symptoms, and checks your vital signs.

What happens during IV therapy?

You relax in a comfortable chair during IV therapy at Optimal Health Miami. Your provider inserts a very fine needle into a vein in your arm and infuses fluids and nutrients into it. The length of time each treatment lasts varies based on your needs and schedule. Most therapies are 30-60 minutes.

What should I expect after IV therapy?

After IV therapy, you may feel better immediately, with continued improvements appearing over time. Optimal Health Miami lets you know how often to schedule IV therapy sessions to maximize wellness.
