You know that the body needs certain nutrients to thrive. That includes water, vitamins, and minerals. Many folks have taken to carrying a water bottle around in an attempt to stay properly hydrated, and 74% of the American adult population reports taking dietary supplements. Clearly, a lot of people are trying to stay healthy.
Sometimes, though, those efforts aren’t enough. An illness, a long flight, or even a night out drinking can dehydrate the body. The benefits of many oral supplements get at least partially lost during digestion. Even if you eat healthy, your body doesn’t always absorb all of the nutrients.
Sometimes you need an extra boost. That’s why we offer IV therapy at SmartClinic Urgent Care in Santa Clarita and West Covina, California. With this option, we can deliver the nutrients your body needs directly into your bloodstream so nothing gets lost during digestion and you can feel better faster.
IV (intravenous) therapy isn’t new. Since the 1970s, people have been turning to it to support their health. The Myers’ cocktail — which blends B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C — has long been a popular option for an overall wellness boost.
The Myers’ cocktail is still popular to this day because it’s a well-documented way to help people feel better. But as medical research advances and scientists learn more about what body systems need, the portfolio of IV drip therapy options has expanded.
At SmartClinic Urgent Care, we can tailor a treatment to you to support your health by:
Whichever type of IV therapy you receive, you get the benefits of an efficient and convenient delivery method. In other words, it’s a way to get your body what it needs — fast.
When you talk with our team about your health goals, we can customize an IV drip therapy plan for you. Some people only need one session to restore balance in their bodies, while other folks opt for repeat appointments spaced strategically apart to continue giving their systems what they need.
The length of your appointment depends on what we’re addressing. An IV session can last from 20 minutes to three hours. We recommend bringing a book or headphones so you can pass the time enjoyably.
There’s no downtime with this treatment option. In fact, many people report that they head back to their day feeling refreshed and re-energized.
