IV therapy

IV (intravenous) therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system to achieve higher absorption rates. Originally medical (treating dehydration, deficiencies), it's now widely offered at luxury wellness resorts and medical spas. Popular blends include: the Myers Cocktail (magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, for energy and immunity), high-dose vitamin C (for immune support), glutathione (for skin and detox), NAD+ (for longevity and energy), and hydration drips (for jet lag). What to expect: 45-90 minute sessions seated comfortably with a needle in your arm, usually administered by a nurse or doctor. Cost: 150-1,000+ EUR per session depending on contents. Talk to a doctor before any IV therapy if you have kidney issues, allergies, or take medications. Effects vary and are partly subjective.
