Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy (also known as intravenous micronutrient therapy and hydration therapy) is a way to give high concentrations of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, allowing rapid absorption of higher doses of the vitamins and minerals than if the person got them through food or supplements. The benefits of Vitamin Infusions are:

• Treat dehydration after extreme exercise or too much alcohol intake

• Boost the immune system (although what this means or how this could be done is not clear)

• Increase levels of energy and reduce fatigue

• Relieve stress, anxiety, and depression

• Eliminate toxins from the body

• Make skin healthier

• Treat hangovers and headaches

• Treat asthma, allergies, chronic sinusitis, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, diabetes, heart disease, acute muscle spasms, and Parkinson disease

• Treat migraine and tension headaches
