4 Questions to Ask About IV Hydration

IV hydration therapy is a rapidly growing wellness treatment that helps to replenish healthy levels of hydration and nutrients in patients to support their immune system, improve their muscle recovery in between workouts, boost energy and stamina, as well as slow down the effects of aging. There is a general type of IV hydration therapy that just consists of a saline solution that boost hydration levels in the body, to which any specific vitamins or minerals can be added to provide additional support for patients who are looking for different benefits. Receiving hydration through IV therapy allows for the body to replenish hydration levels and nutrients much more efficiently. Most people are not consuming enough water or nutrients through diet alone, so the addition of IV hydration therapy can provide incredible results to help patients feel and look their best on a daily basis.

The benefits provided from IV hydration therapy are very fast-acting as the body is able to process and use the newly supplied hydration and minerals very efficiently. Depending on the condition being treated, the condition of the patient, as well as the age of the patient, patients can expect to start noticing positive benefits within 45 minutes to 4 hours. These initial benefits that will likely be experienced include feeling energized, rehydrated, and refreshed. Within 24 to 72 hours, patients will be able to notice their final provided results depending on the specific nutrients that were added into the saline solution. The noticeable benefits from the IV hydration therapy will likely start to feel as if they are fading within several hours or days, but the long-term benefits of keeping your body sufficiently nourished and hydrated will last much longer.

The exact timeline for which each patient should be receiving IV hydration can vary quite a bit depending on what the therapy is being used to treat and if their nutrient levels have stabilized yet. When first starting to receive IV hydration therapy, many patients will be recommended to have a weekly session, which can eventually be reduced to every 2 weeks or even monthly. There are some types of IV hydration therapies that tend to be done on a more occasional basis, such as for hangovers or immunity boosting during flu season. Once the nutrient and hydration levels have stabilized in your body, they can last for days to weeks and can be supported to be able to go even longer between sessions by including more of the specific nutrients in your diet and by increasing your overall water intake to stay sufficiently hydrated. Your IV hydration therapy provider will be able to determine a treatment schedule that will provide you with all of the necessary nutrients and hydration to offer a balance of being able to always experience the benefits without having any unnecessary treatments.

Within 30 to 45 minutes, many patients will start to experience the benefits provided from the increased levels of hydration in their body, which results in feeling refreshed and energized, Since the hydration therapy uses only ingredients that are naturally produced in the body or are considered to be part of a healthy diet, there are very few associated side effects from the treatment, with the only potential risks coming from the use of an IV system but a qualified provider of the treatment will be ensuring the patients health and safety throughout the entire process. Common side effects minor bruising and irritation at the site of injection.

The duration of your IV treatment will also depend on your IV cocktail. Your doctor can tell you how long your treatment might last, depending on which ingredients you are using.
