WHAT IS IV THERAPY
What is IV vitamin therapy?
Even with a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, you may be impacted by factors out of your control, such as the quality of the soil the fruits and vegetables are grown in. So even if you are getting enough calories, it may be a challenge to get enough vitamins from food alone. This is where vitamin infusion
Chicago comes in. IV therapy delivers micronutrients directly to your cells, right where you need it most. The nutrients bypass the gastrointestinal system and are therefore absorbed 100% and fully utilized by your body.
IV vitamin therapy is the future of wellness.

Can’t I just take vitamins for my nutrients?
Moreover, vitamin capsules or pills taken by mouth are considered to be dietary supplements by the FDA and are not closely regulated. Because of this, it’s difficult to determine the quality of any vitamin supplement you may be taking. In a study investigating the safety of dietary supplements, researchers found that only 21% of the supplements tested by several major retailers contained the ingredients they claimed to contain on their packaging. This is why many people are turning to wellness infusion therapy as a more reliable alternative for ensuring they receive the nutrients they need.
With an IV, 100% of the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream, where they can immediately be used by your body.
At RevIVeDoc infusion suite, we value quality and only source our IV vitamins from pharmacies approved by the FDA.
I hate shots - is IV vitamin therapy for me?
The temporary discomfort from placing the IV in is far outweighed by the benefits you’ll see with IV nutrient therapy. We have a trained registered nurse (RN) or medical professional administering the IV. A numbing spray is also available.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally non-existent or very mild. On occasion, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, redness, itching, inflammation, or redness at or around the site of injection that could last from a few minutes to several days. True allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, if you experience throat swelling, pruritic body rash, dangerously low blood pressure, or symptoms associated with anaphylaxis following the administration of an injection, visit your nearest emergency department. In the context of wellness infusion therapy, it’s important to be aware of these potential side effects to ensure a safe and positive experience.
