Even in peak health, you absorb only about 25% of any oral supplement — and with poor gut health, it drops to 5%. Intravenous (IV) therapy at OWM Integrative Wellness gives you 100% of the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids you need and can be obtained conveniently in the Buffalo, New York, office. IV therapy can help with chronic fatigue, pain, aging, athletic recovery, and much more, so request your consultation online or call the office to book an IV infusion now.  

What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is an intravenous method of absorbing natural substances. You can take vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in supplement form, but you absorb only 5-25% of oral supplements. Unfortunately, most of the supplement is processed and lost during digestion. 

In IV therapy, you receive 100% of those nutrients because you bypass digestion. This delivers rapid benefits and gives you a much larger dose than oral supplements can provide. 

When might I need IV therapy?

IV therapy is an important part of many treatment plans at OWM Integrative Wellness. Some of the many reasons that patients might need IV therapy include:

• Aging skin
• Athletic recovery
• Autoimmune illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
• Post-viral and post-infection syndromes like Lyme disease
• Mitochondrial disease
• Cognitive impairment disorders
• Mood disorders like depression and anxiety
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Central neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis
• Chronic pain, like joint pain or back pain 
• Mold toxicity
• Heavy metal toxicity 

IV therapy can also be used as preparation for other treatments. During your consultation, the team will go over any additional details with you and work with you to develop a protocol tailored to your specific needs.

What happens during IV therapy?

During IV therapy, the OWM Integrative Wellness team inserts a very thin catheter (tube) in an arm vein and tapes it in place. The infusion then enters your blood over the next 30-60 minutes while you relax. Many patients feel better right away. 

What ingredients are in an IV therapy infusion?

OWM Integrative Wellness offers numerous IV infusions. The team customizes your treatment for your condition and unique health needs, creating personalized infusions in a safe, spa-like relaxing sterile environment. Some of the different ingredients in IV infusions are:

• Amino acids: Proline, glycine, taurine, lysine, and NAD
• Vitamins like B vitamins (B3, B6, B12), vitamin C, and vitamin D
• Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium
• Antioxidants such as glutathione
• Peptides like cerebrolysin
• Oxygen
• Ketamine

IV therapy is often only one part of your comprehensive wellness plan. The team may recommend other therapies like botanical medicine, stress management, nutritional medicine, or advanced healing plans like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help you feel and become your very best.
