Yes, please continue with your prescribed supplements and medications as directed by your doctor. If you're on blood thinners, inform your doctor prior to your IV session.
If you have a history of challenging blood draws or IV insertions, please inform your Nourish doctor ahead of time. Staying well-hydrated and eating before your appointment helps, and a warm compress or light physical activity can improve vein access.
Yes! The catheter used for the infusion is flexible, allowing you to move your arm comfortably. You can also use the restroom if needed. If you bend your arm for an extended time, the IV may slow or stop, so let your doctor know if adjustments are needed.
Results can vary: some people feel more energetic, others may feel relaxed or tired. For your first session, it’s advised to take it easy and rest. After subsequent sessions, many feel increased resilience and energy.
We recommend basic lab work within the past year to assess kidney and liver function. If you’re receiving a High Dose Vitamin C IV, a G6PD test is highly recommended. To personalize your nutrient therapy, a Micronutrient blood test can help identify deficiencies.

Please notify us if you’ve had a recent infection, started new medications, or have a history of heart, liver, kidney, autoimmune diseases, or cancer.
It is generally best to start with a Classic Nourish IV to provide the foundational nutrients for increased tolerance to IV therapy. These nutrients and cofactors help stabilize the overall terrain for best outcomes. If you are generally sensitive to sulfur (onions, garlic, red wine) or have a known SUOX genetic mutation, it may be recommended to take Molybdenum prior to your glutathione IV. In addition, it may be a good idea to test your G6PD and/or methylation status before starting or restarting an IV protocol.
IV therapy supports mitochondrial function, promotes healthy aging, and enhances overall wellness. Key lab markers include reducing inflammation, normalizing anemia, and supporting mitochondria and glutathione levels, aiming for an LDH under 175 and a GGT under 15. If your levels fall outside these ranges, consult with your Nourish doctor to determine if IV therapy is a beneficial adjunctive treatment for you.
