What Is IV Infusion Therapy?
Mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being. Explore how IV therapy can deliver essential nutrients directly for improved mental clarity and mood.
Studies show that deficiencies in many of these common vitamins and minerals have a serious effect on our mental health and well-being. Vitamin infusions can be used to help people with insomnia, anxiety, depression, hormone imbalances, seasonal affective disorder, and more.
Everyone’s IV needs are different. Our customized IV vitamins and add-ins will allow you to tailor your IV treatment to your condition and needs. We offer a variety of IV vitamin infusion therapies to help target your treatment goals. A rapid supply of vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes promotes optimal cellular functioning and overall health.
Each IV therapy is created with your individuals needs in mind. Each one is developed, administered and monitored by our Psychiatric Nurse Practioner. She will review your medical history as well as your mental health needs to create a safe and therapeutic IV infusion therapy. The treatment takes only 30 to 45 minutes, and she’ll monitor you the entire time. This can be completed during your normal medication management or psychotherapy appointment.
Benefits of IV Therapy for Mental Health:
-
Rapid Absorption: Nutrients bypass the digestive system, ensuring maximum absorption.
-
Quick Results: Feel the effects faster than oral supplements.
-
Customized Formulas: Tailored blends for specific mental health needs.

The Sunny Day
The Sunny Day IV Therapy is a little bit of the sun in an IV bag. We often think that Vitamin D is a nutrient that comes from the sun. In reality, the nutrient comes from our bodies, but its creation is activated by sun exposure. Vitamin D (D3 in particular) helps to support the growth of new brain cells and serotonin production, which has been shown to reduce depression. Low levels of Vitamin D have also been correlated to memory loss.
TARGETS
-
promote immune system health
-
facilitate healthy bone growth
-
reduce inflammation
-
enhance proper blood circulation and heart health
-
support brain function
-
aid in the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the body
-
improve symptoms of depression
-
improve memory

NAD+
NAD+ IV therapy offers a treatment that increases energy at the cellular level to provide rejuvenation when you need it. NAD+, which stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme occupying every cell in the body. Its primary purpose is to fuel metabolic reactions by enabling mitochondria, or the power stations of the cell, to convert food into energy. (PARPs), which help repair damaged DNA.
03
The Belly Beater
The Belly Beater IV Therapy is designed to support your gut and reduce intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”). It is a well known fact that our gut and brain are linked. We are constantly exposed to factors that may compromise our gut health including stress, medications, antibiotics, poor diet, and alcohol. Signs of a compromised gut may include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities and symptoms like fatigue, pain, and mood disorders. An unhappy belly makes for an unhappy brain.
TARGETS
Relieve gastrointestinal issues and discomfort such as bloating
– Repair the intestinal microbiome and tight junctions to heal leaky gut and – restore immune tolerance
– Improve digestion and nutrient absorption
– Decrease in food sensitivities
– May improve symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress
KEY NUTRIENTS:

NAD+
What is NAD+
NAD⁺ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD+ is a critical coenzyme present in every living cell, iand is important in the context of aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
NAD+ plays several roles in important physical processes such as:
-
Regulating sleep/wake cycles
-
Sustaining bone, nerve and tissue health
-
Ensuring our fight-or-flight stress response works properly
-
Neutralizing free radicals that age the body by damaging cells
An NAD+ IV TARGETS:
-
Helps overcome fatigue: An NAD+ IV infusion helps supply the energy the body needs on a cellular level to heal and function at its best.
-
Maximizes brain function: NAD+ promotes the process of mitochondrial biogenesis and helps protect cells from toxins and damage.
-
Aids with cell regeneration: Increasing NAD+ levels throughout your body allows it to heal itself from injury more effectively. The coenzyme is crucial to the activation of poly ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs), which help repair damaged DNA.
-
Slows aging: Sirtuin enzymes and NAD+ can turn off specific genes that promote issues related to aging, fat storage and blood sugar management.
Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will review your medical history to determine the best and safest fluid options for your needs.
IV Solutions:
Normal Saline:
Normal saline is also called 9% normal saline, NS, or 0.9NaCL. The 0.9% sodium chloride solution is considered an isotonic IV solution. It’s similar to the volume of particles in the blood plasma, so it keeps a fluid balance inside and outside of the body’s cells.
As a sterile, nonpyrogenic fluid, normal saline is easy to pass through cell membranes and is generally isotonic.
Fluid resuscitation in extracellular spaces is the most common use of this fluid due to its high effectiveness in treating various conditions, including hemorrhage, vomiting, diarrhea, or even shock.
This procedure increases the circulating plasma volume (assuming sufficient red blood cells in the patient).
Furthermore, normal saline is the only fluid used when administering blood. The high sodium content can cause excess fluid retention, further stressing the already weak heart and kidneys, so it must be used cautiously in patients with cardiac or renal complications.
Half Normal Saline
Also called 0.45NaCl or 45% normal saline, half normal saline is widely used.
Half normal saline contains half the chloride concentration of normal saline and is a hypotonic, crystalloid solution of sodium chloride in sterile water.
It’s designed to treat patients suffering from cellular dehydration.
Patients who are diabetics and cannot handle glucose solutions are especially benefitted from it. In patients with burns, liver disease, or trauma, the solution must always be avoided since it depletes intravascular fluids to the degree that can be dangerous. A person with cardiovascular disease or elevated intracranial pressure may be at risk from the solution, just like they would with normal saline. Although half normal saline has half the sodium chloride concentration as normal saline, it still has uses in maintaining daily fluid levels, just as normal saline does.
Lactated Ringers
Another highly common IV fluid used in fluid resuscitation is lactated Ringer's. If you've been injured and received surgery, you've probably received an injection of lactated ringers. It's often used as an alternative to normal saline.
The lactates are named after the physician who invented them, Sydney Ringer, who developed a solution containing sodium, chloride, calcium, and potassium in the late 1800s. The "lactated" part of Lactated Ringers comes from one Alexis Hartmann, who discovered that adding lactate to the solution made it more suitable for pediatric patients.
It is most commonly found in milk, but it is also produced by our muscles when we exercise.
A saline solution with electrolytes and a buffer (lactate) makes it isotonic since it contains electrolytes and a buffer.
Since it contains no magnesium, unlike serum, it's the closest thing to the body's natural plasma and serum concentration.
Because Lactated Ringer’s contain potassium, it cannot be used in patients with renal failure or renal complications as it can result in hyperkalemia. It also should not be used in patients with liver disease, as they cannot successfully metabolize the lactate. It also should not be administered if patients have a pH above 75.
Dextrose in Water (D5W)
Dextrose in water is a crystalloid solution. In the bag, it’s isotonic, but the solution is physiologically hypotonic. That’s a fancy way of saying that it enters your body as an isotonic solution (when there’s still sugar in the solution), but when the sugar is absorbed by your cells, you’re left with a hypotonic solution.
Unlike other fluids we’ve listed thus far, dextrose in water is not used in fluid resuscitation, as it can cause hyperglycemia.
Dextrose in water is often used to treat diabetic patients without eating anything by mouth for various reasons. Although the solution contains about 170 calories per liter, it is insufficient to replace normal daily calories and should not be used for long-term food replacement.
It should always be avoided in patients with cardiac problems, renal failure, and increased intracranial pressure (much like the other fluids on this list), as it can cause fluid overload.
