IV Drip in Hospital

IV Nutrition & Hydration

Physician-Directed IV Nutrition and Hydration

​IV nutrition delivers fluids and selected nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous catheter. At Andelana MD Health & Longevity, IV treatment is provided as a medical service—not as a one size-fits-all spa treatment. The formula, amount of fluid, route, and infusion time are selected after reviewing the patient's health history, medications, allergies, recent symptoms, prior laboratory results, and treatment goals.

IV Options That May Be Offered

Myers' Nutrient Infusion: A combination of selected vitamins and minerals used as a general nutrient support infusion.

NAD+ Infusion: A slower infusion designed for patients seeking metabolic, energy, or healthy-aging support. Tolerance and infusion rate vary.

Mitochondrial and Oxidative-Stress Support: A physician-selected combination intended to support cellular metabolism and antioxidant capacity.

Amino Acid and Recovery Support: Selected amino acids and nutrients for appropriately screened patients focused on recovery, nutrition, or physical resilience.

Immune-Support Nutrient Infusion: Selected nutrients used to support general wellness; it is not a treatment for an acute infection or a replacement for medical care.

Glutathione or Detoxification Support: Glutathione may be provided by infusion or slow IV push when appropriate. The term "detox" refers to antioxidant and metabolic support and does not imply removal of every environmental exposure or toxin.

Lipotropic, B-Complex, or B12 Support: Selected B vitamins and lipotropic nutrients may be used when clinically appropriate and compatible with the patient's history and laboratory findings.

*Exact ingredients and availability depend on physician review, the supplying pharmacy, current product availability, and applicable regulations. Formulas may change and are not appropriate for every patient.

Before the Infusion

  • Medical history, medication, supplement, allergy, and prior-reaction review 

  • Review of kidney, heart, liver, fluid-balance, blood-pressure, and electrolyte concerns

  • Review of pregnancy status and other contraindications when relevant

  • Laboratory testing when the selected infusion or the patient's medical history makes it appropriate

  • Baseline symptoms and vital signs as required for procedural safety

What to Expect

A small IV catheter is placed in a vein, and the selected solution is administered over the time appropriate for that formula. The patient is observed during treatment. Some IV pushes or smaller-volume treatments are shorter, while NAD+ and other infusions may require a slower rate. Patients should report burning, pain, swelling, dizziness, nausea, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, itching, or any unusual symptoms immediately.

Potential Risks and Limitations

  • Pain, bruising, bleeding, vein irritation, infiltration, or infection at the IV site

  • Nausea, headache, flushing, lightheadedness, blood-pressure changes, or medication-specific effects

  • Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions, including rare, serious reactions

  • Fluid overload or electrolyte imbalance in susceptible patients

  • Interactions with medications, supplements, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, or other medical conditions 

  • Benefits vary, and an IV infusion is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment of an underlying disease

Who May Need a Different Plan

Patients with significant kidney disease, heart failure, fluid restriction, uncontrolled blood pressure, serious liver disease, active infection, pregnancy, complex medication interactions, or a history of severe infusion reactions may require modification, additional testing, specialist clearance, or a different treatment.
