The Glutathione IV offers powerful antioxidant therapy. It offers has many benefits from liver support and detox to brain function to cellular protection. It is a large molecule and is not well absorbed from the intestines, therefore IV Glutathione is far more dramatic in improvement than oral supplements. Glutathione can also be given as an IM Injection for convenience or if more frequent treatment is desired

Each Intravenous Infusion is prepared on-site by our trained infusion nurses to ensure freshness & stability, in a saline or sterile water solution bag. A flexible catheter is placed into the patient’s vein. The treatment solution flows from the bag down the tubing and into the bloodstream via the catheter, via this intravenous (IV) infusion. By delivering nutrients & minerals directly into the bloodstream, the IV enables nutrient absorption & energy production at the cellular level. The IV route bypasses problems with digesting and absorbing supplements taken orally, due to gut dysbiosis or other digestive issues, and insured 100% nutrient bio-availability.
All of the Wellness – Level 1 IVs are offered at all 3 locations.
Some Therapies require special equipment and that is only located at our main Westport office.
The digestive tract only absorbs a limited amount of nutrients when taken orally. Intestinal and digestive problems further reduce the amount the body gets from supplements. Delivering these nutrients by IV infusion directly into the bloodstream provides a full therapeutic dose.
IV infusion of these critical nutrients is also a faster delivery method than a tablet or capsule. For instance, rapid infusion often provides quick relief in managing uncomfortable symptoms like headaches or chronic pain.
IV Therapy has been extensively administered in our office for decades as well as by thousands of integrative practitioners throughout the world. From many years of experience, it has been observed to be well-tolerated. As IV solution improves hydration, most will feel better. Of course, allergies and intolerances vary from person to person so It is possible to react to an ingredient in the formula, but that is very uncommon. This is also why some IV require higher levels of Medical Assessment and/or Labs before starting the process.
The treatment can take between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the IV. Vitamins and nutrients have adequate time to be absorbed through the bloodstream, while the patient rests in a comfortable recliner. The experience can be quite pleasant and relaxing. Patients can chat with others, have a snack they brought along, catch up on reading or listen to whatever pleases them via their cell phones and earphones.
More and more people are turning to IVs as preventative therapy in their Wellness regimes or to quickly turn the tide when they feel a “Bug” coming on, or are chronically fatigued.
