Why So Many People Are Adding IV Therapy to Their Wellness Plan
Oct 21, 2025
You eat well, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep, but you’re still feeling a bit off — why is that? With a fast-paced, busy life, it’s easy to feel run-down, even when you’re doing your best to keep up.
If you want to get your body back on track, our providers can help. At The MD Aesthetics in El Dorado Hills, California, we offer intravenous (IV) therapy, a treatment that delivers a customized blend of essential vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
Around 86% of American adults take oral vitamin supplements, yet many now opt for a more personalized way to boost their wellness. Let’s take a closer look at why IV therapy is becoming so popular, and what it can do for you.
Over-the-counter oral supplements, such as daily multivitamins, might sound like a great way to support wellness, but they don’t always deliver what they promise.
When you take a pill, your digestive system filters out or breaks down much of its content, and your body absorbs only a fraction of the intended dose.
IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely for faster and more noticeable effects. By delivering nutrients straight to the source, your body can absorb a higher concentration — up to 90% — compared to oral supplements.
The process itself is simple and comfortable. Once we insert the IV, sit back and relax while the customized infusion flows into your system. Sessions typically last 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your specific treatment.
Whether you’re looking for an energy boost or glowing skin, IV therapy can help you achieve your goals. This versatile treatment offers a variety of benefits for your mind and body, such as:
Drinking enough water is essential for daily hydration, but rehydrating your cells takes time. When you need to restore your fluid levels quickly and efficiently, IV therapy provides an immediate boost.
If you feel sluggish or deal with daytime fatigue, an IV infusion can replenish the nutrients your body needs to produce energy. Energizing blends often contain ingredients like B vitamins, which play a crucial role in helping your body convert food into fuel.
A strong immune system is essential for staying healthy, especially as cold and flu season approaches. An infusion containing immune-boosting nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc helps fortify your natural defenses.
The hydration and antioxidants in an IV drip can revitalize your skin from the inside out. Our signature Fountain of Youth treatment addresses fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other signs of aging for a naturally healthy glow.
Research shows that chronic stress can deplete your body of nutrients that support your nervous system, including niacin (vitamin B3), magnesium, and zinc. IV therapy can restore these vitamins and minerals to support a calmer, more balanced mood.
Although it’s not a weight loss solution on its own, IV therapy can be a great tool to help you achieve your goals. Boosting your metabolism and energy lets you get the most out of your diet and exercise regimen.
Before your treatment, our team sits down with you to discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals. That helps us tailor the infusion to your needs for a truly personalized wellness boost.
