IV Therapy

Intravenous Therapy

IV Therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to absorb them quickly and reliably. It can support hydration, nutrient replacement, immune function, recovery, athletic performance, and overall well-being, especially when your body has been stressed by illness, injury, travel, or a demanding schedule.

Our IV menu is built around a Basic Nutrient Hydration IV ($200), a drip of fluids, vitamins, and electrolytes. From there, you can personalize your IV with add-ons chosen for your health needs, such as:

Vitamin C + Magnesium: Vitamin C supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant, while magnesium supports muscle and nerve function.
Glutathione: The body’s primary antioxidant, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Amino Acids: The building blocks of protein, supporting tissue repair and muscle recovery.
NAD: A coenzyme essential to how your cells produce energy.

We also offer specialty IVs, including high-dose Vitamin C, and quick booster shots like B-12. Some treatments require a prior consultation.

Our IV clinic is on Mondays and Thursdays.

If you’re unsure which IV is best suited for you, please schedule an IV consult to discuss formulations

Plaquex IV

Plaquex IV Therapy

Plaquex IV involves intravenous administration of phosphatidylcholine (PC), a natural substance found in cell membranes throughout the body. Plaquex IV is sold in packages of 5 sessions, done consecutively 1-2 times per week. It has various applications including:

Cardiovascular Health

Plaquex IV therapy can be supportive in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions. It can assist in the reduction of plaque buildup in arteries by enhancing lipid metabolism and reducing oxidative stress. This improves blood flow and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.

Improved Lipid Profile

Phosphatidylcholine is involved in lipid metabolism, which can help improve the lipid profile in everyone, most significantly in individuals with dyslipidemia (abnormal levels of lipids in the blood).

Antioxidant Properties

Plaquex can help reduce oxidative damage to cells and tissues. This is beneficial for overall cellular health and may contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular, kidney, and liver disease. In particular, PC is crucial for liver function and supports liver and kidney health.

The Mechanism

Plaquex IV is a formulation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) which has been made soluble (in micelle form) through the addition of a bile salt called deoxycholate. It is then given as an intravenous (IV) treatment through a catheter. It constitutes 80% of what makes up lung surfactant, 30% of the dry weight of the brain, and is essential in the healthy function of all cell membranes in the body. In particular, it is noted to be beneficial in research in liver and kidney disease, arterial blockages with plaque, and other conditions such as psoriasis. It may also provide benefit in reversing certain dysfunctions built up over time from aging, such as neurodegeneration.

The Nutritional Connection

The modern diet presents humans with alternate oils and fats, which are then assimilated into the lipid membrane of each of our cells. These different lipids gradually replace the phosphatidylcholine, degrading the natural state of our lipid membranes. This introduction of industrial fats has fundamentally altered the function of every organ.

This change in diet, along with the deterioration of cell membranes because of aging, toxin exposure, stress, heavy metals, smoking, etc means that membranes throughout the body are not at peak performance. Some people can gain significant benefits from cycling Plaquex through the body and re-introducing phosphatidylcholine into the lipid layer.
