Ozone IV, Vitamin C, Glutathione & More: Understanding Your IV Therapy Options

With so many IV therapy options available today, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the choices. Whether you’re looking for more energy, a stronger immune system, better recovery, or support for detoxification, IV therapy offers a direct way to deliver nutrients and therapeutic agents right where your body needs them most - your bloodstream.

But what’s actually in these IVs, and how do you know which blend is right for your needs? As clinicians, this guide outlines the most common IV therapy nutrients and how they work together to support your health.

Why IV Therapy? The Science of Direct Nutrient Delivery

Unlike oral supplements, IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, allowing for 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. This means your cells receive a rapid, therapeutic dose - ideal for anyone with digestive issues, increased nutrient demands, or those wanting to feel a difference quickly.

Key Nutrients in Our IV Therapies

Our Nutrient IVs & Injections use unique combinations of nutrients to address different goals, symptoms, and needs. These nutrients include:

B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, B-Complex)

B vitamins are essential for energy production, nervous system health, and stress resilience. They help convert food into fuel, support adrenal function, and play a role in mood, mental clarity, and even muscle recovery. B12 (methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin) is especially important for red blood cell production, metabolism, and cognitive performance.

Vitamin C

A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C supports immune defense, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair. High-dose vitamin C IVs can help during acute illness, recovery from stress, or when your body needs extra support for healing and skin health.

Magnesium

Magnesium is crucial for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and cardiovascular health. It’s also a key player in energy metabolism and can help ease muscle cramps, migraines, and symptoms of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia.

Calcium Gluconate

Calcium supports bone strength, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling. In IV therapy, it’s often included to promote overall musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health.

Amino Acids & Taurine

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, vital for muscle repair, neurotransmitter production, and metabolic health. Taurine, in particular, supports cardiovascular function, hydration, and mental focus.

Zinc

Zinc is a trace mineral that’s essential for immune function, wound healing, and hormone balance. It also plays a role in skin health and can help reduce the duration of colds or viral illnesses.

Glutathione

Known as the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione is critical for detoxification, liver health, and protecting cells from oxidative stress. IV glutathione can support recovery from toxin exposure, chronic illness, or simply help you feel more clear-headed and resilient.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D3 is important for immune health, bone strength, mood, and athletic performance. It’s also been shown to reduce inflammation and support the body’s defense against certain illnesses.

How Do IV Nutrients Work Together?

Most IV blends are designed to target specific goals—like energy, immunity, recovery, or detoxification—by combining these nutrients in synergistic ways. For example:

• Energizing IVs often include a spectrum of B vitamins, amino acids, and sometimes taurine to combat fatigue, support focus, and promote muscle recovery.

• Immunity blends may feature high-dose vitamin C, zinc, and glutathione to boost your body’s defenses and speed up recovery from illness.

• Meyers Cocktails (a classic in IV therapy) combine magnesium, B vitamins, calcium, and vitamin C to address fatigue, migraines, muscle spasms, and more.

• Detox-focused IVs use glutathione and supportive nutrients to help your body clear toxins and reduce oxidative stress.

What About Ozone IV, NAD+, and Other Advanced Therapies?

Beyond nutrients, advanced IV therapies like Ozone IV and NAD+ offer unique mechanisms:

• Ozone IV: Instead of supplying a nutrient, Ozone IV uses medical ozone gas mixed with your blood to trigger the body’s own antioxidant and repair systems. It’s especially helpful for immune modulation, mitochondrial energy, and supporting recovery from chronic infections or inflammation.

• NAD+ IV: NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for mitochondrial energy production and DNA repair. IV NAD+ is often used for boosting energy, cognitive function, and healthy aging.
