IV Therapy
You can spend $200 a month on the highest-quality oral supplements and still be running a significant deficit. The reason isn't the quality of the product — it's the delivery method. Your digestive system, designed to extract nutrients from whole foods over hours of digestion, is simply not optimized for the concentrated doses found in supplements. The result: most of what you swallow never reaches your cells.
IV therapy changes this equation entirely. By delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hydration directly into your bloodstream, IV infusions achieve near-100% bioavailability. What takes your gut hours — with significant losses — happens in 30 to 60 minutes with full absorption guaranteed.
Bioavailability is the percentage of a nutrient that actually enters your bloodstream and becomes available for your cells to use. For most oral vitamins and minerals, this number is disappointing:
IV therapy bypasses all of this. Nutrients go directly from the IV bag into your vein and circulate to every cell in your body within minutes. There is no first-pass metabolism, no intestinal transport limitation, no stomach acid to contend with.
At THRIVE Peak Performance, our physician-supervised IV protocols address four primary goals: recovery acceleration, performance optimization, immune support, and hydration. Depending on your needs, our medical team will recommend specific formulations.
After intense training or competition, your body depletes minerals, accumulates lactic acid, and generates inflammatory oxidative stress. A targeted recovery IV — typically containing magnesium, B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, zinc, and amino acids — replenishes what training took away and creates the biochemical environment for faster repair. Many of our athletes report noticeable reductions in post-workout soreness and faster readiness for the next session.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell of your body, essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and mitochondrial function. NAD+ levels decline 50% or more between ages 40 and 60. IV NAD+ therapy — delivered slowly over 2 to 4 hours — is the only delivery method proven to meaningfully raise intracellular NAD+ levels. Oral NMN and NR supplements raise precursors, but direct IV NAD+ is orders of magnitude more effective for people with significant deficits.
High-dose Vitamin C IV therapy has been used in medical settings for decades to support immune function. At concentrations only achievable through IV (10–25g or more), Vitamin C has documented antiviral and immune-modulating effects that simply cannot be replicated orally. We use high-dose Vitamin C protocols for immune support, illness recovery, and general antioxidant loading.
Dehydration is more pervasive than most people realize — studies estimate that up to 75% of Americans are chronically mildly dehydrated. Even mild dehydration (1–2% body water loss) measurably impairs cognitive performance, mood, and physical output. IV hydration with a balanced saline and electrolyte solution corrects this within 30 minutes in ways that drinking water takes hours to achieve, if it can correct the deficit at all.
Your first visit at THRIVE Peak Performance begins with a brief health assessment and goal conversation with our medical team. Based on your goals and any relevant health history, they'll recommend the appropriate formulation. The IV is placed by a licensed medical professional — a small needle into a vein in your arm or hand, connected to a drip line. Most people feel nothing after the initial stick.
Sessions typically run 30 to 60 minutes for most infusions, and up to 3 to 4 hours for NAD+ protocols. The experience is relaxing — many clients use the time to decompress, read, or work quietly. You'll notice the effects within hours of your session: improved energy, clearer thinking, and reduced fatigue.
Our physician-supervised IV formulations are customized to your goals — recovery, energy, immunity, or hydration. Same-day appointments often available.

Yes, when administered by licensed medical professionals in a clinical setting. All THRIVE Peak Performance IV protocols are physician-supervised and use pharmaceutical-grade nutrients. Side effects are rare and typically minor (slight cooling sensation, mild bruising at site).
Absolutely — alcohol depletes B vitamins, magnesium, and causes significant dehydration. A targeted IV with saline, B-complex, magnesium, and anti-nausea support can resolve most hangover symptoms within 30–60 minutes, significantly faster than oral rehydration.
Yes, and many clients do. IV therapy pairs particularly well with peptide therapy protocols (nutrients support peptide efficacy), cryotherapy (recovery enhancement), and HOCATT sessions. Our team can suggest a combined protocol based on your goals.
