Frequently Asked Questions
Why rehydrate?
The base for our infusions is Lactated Ringers solution, which consists of the base fluid 0.9% sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is a crucial element for replacing vital salt lost during exercise, alcohol over-indulgence, and illness. Lactated Ringers also contains potassium, calcium chloride, and lactate. The concentrations of these elements in Lactated Ringers are comparable to that of our own blood. While drinking fluids, energy drinks, and consuming vitamins may help, only roughly 50% of the nutrients contained in them are absorbed. With IV administration of fluids and nutrients, you will achieve nearly 100% absorption, leading to quicker and longer-lasting results.
Our additives have been hand-selected to help in the treatment of cold, flu, stomach bugs and other viruses, alcohol over-indulgence, stress, and headaches and to help enhance mood, memory, skin health, weight-loss, and immunity. We have pre-made wellness packages tailored to specific ailments, but we can also tailor infusions to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you in developing the healthiest version of yourself.
