Vitamin B2 is a powerful antioxidant and plays a vital role in maintaining healthy blood cells and boosts metabolism. It helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is vital for storing energy in muscles. The body produces ATP from food, then the ATP produces energy as the body requires it.

Niacin plays a critical role in proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems and helps convert food into energy by aiding enzymes. Like other vitamins from the family it is necessary for energy production and metabolism of fatty acids. It also helps to keep skin, nails, and hair healthy, boost brain function and may help people with high blood pressure and diabetes.

Studies have shown that Vitamin B5 has roles within the body including converting nutrients from food into energy, balancing blood sugar, reducing bad cholesterol, lowering high blood pressure, improving cardiovascular health, controling the body's stress response, helping prevent nerve damage, helping with wound healing, aiding in immune function, and helping to fight acne and protect skin.

Vitamin B5 helps produce energy that is actually what fires neurotransmitters in your brain. These neurotransmitters carry chemical signals throughout the body. Because of this, Vitamin B5 is essential for maintaining the health of the nervous system and much more.

Pyridoxine, otherwise known as vitamin B6, is important in maintaining the health of our nerves, skin, and red blood cells. Some conditions and medications may cause some people to become deficient in vitamin B6.

Vitamin B6 plays a very important role in regulating mood. When vitamin B6 levels are adequate, the body is able to produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and GABA, making it essential for good mental health. Vitamin B6 supplementation has been studied as a potential treatment for depression, mood disorders, and PMS. Vitamin B6 may also aid in reducing inflammation throughout the body and plays a role in the metabolism of amino acids. It is also used in the production of hemoglobin, as it is a necessary co-factor in the folate cycle, lack of which can lead to anemia.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is important for overall health and wellness. It plays a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth, and fatty acid synthesis. Biotin influences cell growth and is involved in the utilization of fats, amino acids and carbohydrates. Biotin can fortify keratin infrastructure and may help promote healthier, stronger hair, skin and nails. Biotin is commonly supplemented for multiple conditions, such as hair loss, brittle nails, and nerve damage. Biotin may also reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, improve blood sugar levels, increase HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL (bad cholesterol).

Biotin deficiencies can cause hair loss, skin problems, and neurological issues. Unlike other vitamin deficiency screenings, there isn’t a good laboratory test for detecting low biotin levels. Thus, Biotin deficiency is best identified by symptoms which may include depression, tiredness, thinning hair, red/scaly rash around the nose, eyes, and mouth, hallucinations and tingling of the arms and legs. 

Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) is an important vitamin needed for the brain, nerves, and production of red blood cells in the body. It is used to treat not only vitamin B12 deficiency, but also other conditions, such as pernicious anemia and diabetes. Vitamin B12 deficiency is most common in the elderly and those with strict diets or gastrointestinal conditions. A continued deficiency in B12 can impair the production of red blood cells, leading to anemia. Prolonged deficiency can also lead to possible gastrointestinal issues and nerve damage. Vitamin B12 also helps increase metabolic energy and improve mood regulation. Some clinical trials are also testing its use in people with dementia as well.

Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is another form of B12 not found naturally. Cyanocobalamin is popular as it’s both a stable and cost-effective form of B12. That said, in order for the B12 to be utilized in the body, the liver must convert the cyanocobalamin to a biologically active and tissue-ready form. This is done by the liver either converting it to adenosylcobalamin or attaching it to a methyl group to form methylcobalamin. When you choose to supplement with methylcobalamin, you can bypass this detox process. Research shows that methylcobalamin is more efficiently used and retained in the body than Cyanocobalamin.

Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, especially at higher doses, is an important antioxidant that plays a vital part in the immune response by helping the body fight bacteria and viruses. It protects the body's cells from damage and can cause a reduction in blood vessel inflammation and strengthen vessel walls. Vitamin C increases collagen in the body, making connective tissue, teeth, bones and skin stronger. 

Many studies have proved anti-tumor effects of Vitamin C, and this important vitamin can even give you extra energy. Some studies have also shown that Vitamin C helps improve brain function in people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. 

Without sufficient vitamin C, people are at risk for compromised immune systems, cardiovascular illness, increased stress response, premature aging, and poor energy production. Some individuals may not be able to absorb enough ascorbic acid simply with diet or ingestible supplementation. When receiving IV Vitamin C, it is in the most bioavailable form and is directly absorbed by the body, which is not possible when taking oral Vitamin C supplements.

Vitamin D is essential to the building and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth as it allows Calcium to be properly absorbed by your body. It boosts your immune system, decreases inflammation, and has antiviral properties. Vitamin D is made in the body by exposure to direct sunlight as the sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin. Unfortunately, there not many foods that contain vitamin D and many people do not get the necessary amount of vitamin D, which calls for supplementation. Some symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency are bone pain and fatigue, which can be helped by receiving vitamin D3 injections. Additionally, being deficient in Vitamin D has been associated with an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in the elderly, severe childhood asthma and cancer.

Zinc is an important component of the immune system. It increases white blood cell production to help fight off disease, reducing the duration of illnesses, and also helps reduce inflammation by downregulation of inflammatory cytokines. It also plays a role in preventing infection and speeding up the body’s healing process. Zinc also strengthens skin and nails.

Magnesium chloride, or magnesium, is a mineral that is essential to almost all bodily functions. It is vital in maintaining the function of our cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and heart. Magnesium can be obtained via diet, but sometimes supplementation is needed. Magnesium deficiency is most common in women, African Americans, and the elderly. Conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis arteriosclerosis, and stroke have been linked to low Magnesium levels. Magnesium deficiency can be caused by many things including alcoholism, poorly controlled diabetes, poor diet, or the use of diuretics. Magnesium is also used to prevent heartburn, stomach upset and acid indigestion due to high stomach acid in the body.

Magnesium affects movement of Potassium and Calcium in the heart muscle, and can help regulate certain heart arrhythmias. Magnesium also relaxes muscles throughout the body, including those in the airways of the lungs and the blood vessels. Studies show it can help those with asthma and hypertension. Magnesium can help regulate blood sugar and improve certain nervous system disorders. Studies show that Magnesium often improves anxiety .

What a wonderful mineral, right?!

This naturally occurring peptide (three amino acids- L-cysteine, glycine, and L-glutamate) is the Master Antioxidant, helping to fight free radicals. Glutathione can help prevent and treat viral infections by reducing viral loads and inflammation (cytokine storm). Glutathione decreases with age and is difficult to get from

diet alone. It has shown to have anti-tumor properties and can protect the cells during cancer treatments. Glutathione helps the liver detoxify the body of toxins and can help speed up recovery from a hangover.It also aids in weight loss, improves skin tone, and helps you sleep better.

ALA is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in the body and serves vital functions at the cellular level, such as energy production. The antioxidant properties of ALA will have a profound effect on the signs of aging by reducing free radicals and oxidative stress throughout the body. ALA promotes healthy nerve function and reduces inflammation systemically. May help with weight loss by reducing feelings of hunger. Helps reduce signs of skin aging due to antioxidant properties. Some studies suggest slowing of memory loss in Alzheimers. May lower risk of heart disease by reducing LDL cholesterol.

An amino acid compound of Glutamine, Ornithine, Arginine, Lysine, and Citrulline that can play a critical role in cardiovascular health and general health and longevity. It can relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Amino blend can improve lean body mass and enhance athletic performance, decrease muscle loss, burn fat more quickly and improve metabolism speed.

A lipotropic compound comprised of Methionine, Inositol, and Choline. Methionine is an amino acid that plays an important role in the breakdown of fat. Inositol is a sugar alcohol that helps with insulin sensitivity and increases metabolism. Choline is essential for transporting fat stored in the liver to other parts of the body, where it is used for energy. With these combined, MIC converts the energy from the food you eat and the energy stored in your fat cells into energy that is readily available for your body to use, thus better and faster fat loss results with a diet and exercise routine.

Carnitine is found in nearly all cells of the body and plays an extremely important role in fueling the production of energy. It works by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized, or burned, which produces energy. Additionally, Carnitine also transports toxic compounds out of the cellular organelle, which prevents accumulation of toxic compounds. Given these functions, carnitine is concentrated in tissues that utilize fatty acids as fuel, like skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Carnitine occurs in two forms, L-carnitine and D-carnitine. They are isomers, meaning mirror images of each other. L-carnitine is used in lipid metabolism, where D-carnitine is not. L-carnitine is the active form found in the body and it transports fat to cells to be used as fuel in metabolic processes. L-carnitine is critical to muscle movement, heart and brain function, and several other body processes. Without a sufficient amount of carnitine, one can experience problems in the liver, heart, and muscles.

Folic acid is a great addition to immune boosting IV blends and it can also increase the effectiveness of IVs

for hangovers.

Folate (vitamin B-9) is important in red blood cell formation and for healthy cell growth and function. The nutrient is essential during early pregnancy to reduce the risk of birth defects.

Folate is found mainly in dark green leafy vegetables, beans, peas and nuts. Folate-rich fruits include oranges, lemons, bananas, melons and strawberries. The synthetic form of folate is folic acid (B9).

A folate deficiency is caused by a diet lacking foods rich in folate or folic acid. Folate deficiency can also occur in people who have conditions, such as celiac disease, that prevent the small intestine from absorbing nutrients from foods (malabsorption syndromes).

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an amazing molecule necessary for life and is found naturally in all cells in your body. It has been shown to improve mental clarity, increase energy and endurance, improve mood, help you sleep better, regulate the immune system, protect against oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and more. An insufficient NAD+ level is involved in five out of the nine hallmarks of aging. Thus, not enough NAD+ can increase the risks of age-related diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

NAD+ plays a huge role in energy metabolism and is necessary for major energy pathways such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. When NAD+ is not available, cells can't produce enough ATP (the body's energy currency) to sustain important biological processes, which will lead to a suboptimal level of health.

NAD+ is also needed for Sirtuins (aging regulating enzymes) to function in order to inhibit the five hallmarks of aging. Additionally, NAD+ activates the enzymes used repair DNA which helps to prevent genomic instability, a hallmark of aging.

Research also shows that people with critically low levels of NAD+ are at an elevated risk for developing problems related to addiction, anxiety and other mental disorders. NAD+ releases neurotransmitters which are necessary for the brain and nervous system to function properly. NAD+ releases coenzymes and other chemicals which elevate mood and generate feelings of happiness and calmness. It is also a detoxifying powerhouse, efficient in removing harmful substances and drugs from the body, which will restore your health and induce a feeling of calmness. NAD+ encourages new connections in the brain resulting in heightened senses, focus and thought clarity.

Zofran works by blocking one of the body's natural substances (serotonin) that causes vomiting. It peaks in about 10 minutes when given IV and 2 hours when given IM. The anti-nausea effects last for approximately 8 hours. This medication might cause slight drowsiness, but it is rare.

Toradol, an NSAID, is a short-term treatment for moderate to severe pain symptoms. Toradol decreases the production of prostaglandin, a naturally occurring compound that causes inflammation and pain at the site of tissue damage or infection. Toradol can also help reduce swelling and fever.

IV fluid that is made up of fluid, sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride. It is very similar to the body's natural fluids with electrolytes. The amount of electrolytes cause this to be a balanced fluid within the body. This is the base solution for all of our IV drips and it can also be given alone in half liter or liter bags for basic hydration needs!

Normal saline solution contains water and the same concentration of sodium and chloride (154 mEq/L) as the usual concentration of sodium and chloride in the intravascular space. Normal saline is administered to correct extracellular fluid volume deficit.
