Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, present in every cell, produced in the liver, responsible for neutralizing free radicals, supporting detoxification, and regulating immune function. IV administration achieves serum concentrations not reliably achievable through oral supplementation, as oral glutathione is largely broken down in the digestive tract.

Glutathione inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin. With consistent IV treatment, this suppression leads to more even, luminous skin tone. The skin benefit is a systemic antioxidant effect, not a cosmetic additive.

Intramuscularly, typically into the upper arm (deltoid) or gluteal muscle, depending on your provider’s preference and your comfort.

Electrolyte-balanced fluid, isotonic saline or lactated Ringer’s solution with sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. Restores fluid and electrolyte equilibrium at the cellular level, bypassing the GI tract for immediate systemic availability.

After long-haul travel, during or after illness, following significant physical exertion, or when dehydration is meaningful enough that drinking fluids alone is inadequate or too slow.

Most clients begin to feel better within four hours of treatment as the electrolytes and fluids are absorbed systemically.

In general, the Hydrate IV can be administered up to twice per week. Your provider will recommend a frequency based on your hydration baseline, lifestyle, and goals.

Most adults benefit, the majority of people do not consistently meet optimal nutrient levels through diet alone. IV therapy is particularly relevant for those experiencing fatigue, immune depletion, recovery from illness or exertion, or those who want to support skin and metabolic health more directly than oral supplementation allows.

A small-gauge needle (22–24g) is used to place a soft catheter in the vein. Once the needle is removed, only the catheter remains, the infusion itself is comfortable, often more so than a standard blood draw. Sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes depending on the infusion. Most clients rest, read, or work during treatment.

Give your liver support by avoiding alcohol for a few days following treatment. Drink additional water to continue flushing metabolic byproducts. Increasing vegetable intake supports ongoing cellular detoxification. Your provider may recommend specific supplements to extend the nutritional benefit.

Yes. VIO offers a range of IV infusions, each built around a specific clinical objective, hydration, immune support, skin luminosity, athletic recovery, energy, and more. Your provider will assess your goals and recommend the appropriate formulation.

Many clients notice the effects during the infusion itself. The sense of rehydration, improved clarity, and energy typically builds over the following hours and persists for days.

Glutathione and high-dose Vitamin C, the body’s master antioxidant and the nutrient that regenerates it, delivered together at IV concentrations. Supporting B vitamins included for cellular energy.

Biweekly to monthly for consistent skin quality improvement. The effect on melanin production and skin tone is cumulative.

IV delivery achieves systemic absorption that oral supplementation cannot replicate. The Glow IV specifically supports skin through B vitamins and biotin, both essential for cellular turnover, barrier integrity, and luminosity. Hydration at the tissue level, rather than topical application, changes how the skin holds light.

Intravenous delivery bypasses the digestive tract entirely, achieving significantly higher serum concentrations than oral vitamins can produce. This means the vitamins your skin needs actually reach it, in the concentrations required to make a difference.

Up to twice weekly in general, though your provider will recommend a schedule based on your goals and current nutrient status. Consistent maintenance tends to yield the most visible skin benefit over time.

NAD+ is a coenzyme your cells use to produce energy, repair DNA, and regulate the pathways involved in how we age. Levels decline significantly with age and stress. IM or IV delivery puts it directly into the bloodstream, oral precursors like NMN have to be converted first, which is variable.

Oral precursors like NMN must be converted to NAD+ before use, conversion efficiency is variable. IM or IV delivery places NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for immediate cellular availability at therapeutic concentrations.

Sustained, clean energy without stimulant quality. Improved recovery from physical exertion. Some report improved mood and stress resilience. The cellular repair and longevity pathway activation represents the deeper clinical rationale.

NAD+ is a coenzyme critical to cellular energy production, DNA repair, and mitochondrial function. Levels decline significantly with age. NAD+ injections support energy, mood, cognitive clarity, and overall cellular vitality, particularly in clients experiencing fatigue or the effects of metabolic aging.

Methylcobalamin is the active, neurologically-preferred form of B12, the form the body can use directly. Cyanocobalamin must be converted, and individuals with MTHFR variants may have impaired conversion. VIO uses methylcobalamin because it delivers the active form directly.

Clients with low or low-normal B12, vegetarians and vegans, adults over 50 with declining intrinsic factor, those with digestive conditions affecting absorption, and anyone on metformin (which depletes B12 over time).

B12 is essential for red blood cell production, neurological function, and cellular energy metabolism. Deficiency, which is common and often undiagnosed, presents as fatigue, cognitive fog, mood disruption, and immune vulnerability. Intramuscular delivery bypasses the digestive tract, achieving serum levels that oral supplementation rarely matches.

Most clients sustain elevated B12 levels for approximately one week per injection. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your baseline levels and how your body responds.

Some clients notice improved energy within a day or two. For those with significant deficiency, meaningful change in fatigue and cognition typically develops over several weeks as levels normalize.

Biotin is an essential cofactor for keratin production, the structural protein of hair, skin, and nails. IM delivery achieves tissue concentrations that oral supplementation may not reliably reach due to digestive absorption variability.

Biotin supports the keratin infrastructure hair is built from, a nutritional foundation, not a standalone growth driver. If thinning has a deficiency component, addressing it can meaningfully help. For genetic or hormonal hair loss, biotin is part of a complete picture alongside PRF and scalp treatment.

Clients with biotin deficiency, those experiencing hair thinning or loss, brittle nails, or compromised skin integrity. Biotin also supports neurological function and energy metabolism, making it relevant for clients experiencing cognitive fatigue or low energy alongside cosmetic concerns.

Yes, particularly when hair thinning is connected to biotin deficiency. Intramuscular delivery ensures full absorption and more direct availability to the follicle than oral supplementation.

Most clients begin to see improvement in hair, skin, and nails within a few weeks. Individual response depends on your baseline levels and the underlying cause of your concerns.

The Tri-Immune injection combines Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Zinc intramuscularly, three nutrients with distinct and complementary roles in immune function. Addresses multiple immune pathways in a single injection at concentrations that exceed what oral supplementation achieves.

Proactively before high-exposure seasons, immediately after known illness exposure, during recovery to rebuild immune resilience, or as part of an ongoing protocol for clients whose immune function is chronically stressed.

Tri-Immune combines Vitamin C, zinc, and glutathione in a single intramuscular injection. It is appropriate for clients managing compromised immunity, recovering from illness, under sustained stress, or preparing for periods of high exposure (travel, seasonal changes). Athletes and those seeking proactive immune maintenance also benefit.

Amino acids for muscle repair, B-complex vitamins for energy metabolism and neurological recovery, magnesium for muscle function and inflammation, Vitamin C for tissue repair, and electrolytes for cellular restoration, all at immediate bioavailability through IV delivery.

Yes. The Recover IV delivers amino acids, B vitamins, and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream, supporting faster muscle repair and reducing the inflammatory response associated with strenuous exertion. The result is less soreness and a shorter recovery window.

Up to twice per week in general. Your provider will build a protocol based on your training schedule, intensity, and recovery goals.

Perform IV primes the body before demand peaks, B vitamins, amino acids, magnesium, and electrolytes delivered directly into the bloodstream so they are available when performance requires them. Before a competition, significant physical event, or high-stakes professional demand.

Immune IV delivers high-dose Vitamin C, Zinc, B vitamins, and Glutathione together at concentrations not achievable through oral supplementation, nutrients with established and complementary roles in immune function. Used proactively or restorative after illness.

Generally one to two weeks, though individual response varies based on baseline immune health, stress load, and lifestyle factors.

Most clients begin to feel improvement within four hours of treatment.

Up to twice per week in general. Your provider will recommend a frequency tailored to your immune health goals and current status.

By labs and clinical assessment, not a preset formula. Your provider identifies which vitamins are deficient in your blood panel and prescribes accordingly. The difference between targeted IM repletion and a multivitamin is clinical specificity.

Yes. VIO carries the Thorne line to support clients whose clinical picture calls for targeted nutritional supplementation alongside in-clinic treatment.

Yes, when the right nutrients are addressed. Deficiencies in zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and omega fatty acids have measurable effects on skin barrier integrity, collagen production, and inflammatory response. Supplementation is most effective when informed by your actual levels rather than general supplementation.

Both deliver nutrients directly into the body, bypassing the digestive tract. The key difference is time and depth of infusion. IM shots take approximately five minutes and are administered into muscle tissue. IV drips run 60 to 90 minutes and deliver a larger volume of nutrients directly into the bloodstream. For simple, high-dose vitamin delivery, IM is efficient. For comprehensive nutritional infusions, IV is appropriate.

Intramuscular delivery achieves significantly higher bioavailability than oral supplementation. The digestive tract is bypassed entirely, meaning nutrients reach target tissues in concentrations that oral vitamins rarely match. IM injections are quick, effective, and appropriate for clients who need consistent, targeted nutrient maintenance.
