Intravenous (IV) Therapy – NEW at Riverside Sports Therapy

What is IV Therapy?

IV therapy is an intravenous therapy where vitamins and minerals are administered directly into the blood vessel, bypassing the digestive system and liver. This allows for 100% absorption into the blood stream. When taking nutrients by mouth much is lost in the digestive process, especially if one has any known gastrointestinal issues. Some of these conditions that would lower nutrient absorption include:

  • Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac Disease
  • IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease such as Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis)
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Disease)
  • SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
  • GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and poor stomach acid
  • Lactose Intolerance
  • Iron deficiency
  • Pancreatic insufficiencies 
  • Gall bladder or liver disorders
  • Metal toxicity


IV therapy helps boost immune system, improve energy, aid in exercise recovery, improve mood, and increase metabolism. Additionally, there are many other conditions that benefit from IV therapy. These include:

  • Acute or chronic viral infections
  • Asthma
  • Chronic stress
  • Fatigue
  • Heavy metal toxicity
  • Low libido
  • Migraines
  • Muscle spasms
  • Tension headaches
  • Chronic pain conditions such as Fibromyalgia
  • Autoimmune conditions

Support your Immune System with IV Therapy?

Our immune systems need specific nutrients to perform at their best. Many of these nutrients are lacking due to little variety in diet, decreased digestion leading to poor absorption, high athletic demands, and higher demand because of chronic disease or poor lifestyle choices. Intravenous (IV) Therapy can replenish these vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the blood stream to enable the immune system to work optimally.  

The Immune IV includes:

  • Vitamin C 
  • Thiamine (B1)
  • Dexpanthenol (B5)
  • Pyridoxine (B6)
  • B-Complex
  • Methycobalamin (B12)
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Selenium
  • Zinc
  • Multi-trace minerals
  • Glutathione


These nutrients work together for powerful antiviral and antioxidant activity. They help with cellular repair and growth to maintain good health. Additionally, glutathione protects immune cells from damage and helps them function optimally. The Immune Booster IV also replenishes fluids keeping the body hydrated, another important aspect in immune health.
