The effects of vitamin therapy can vary based on individual health needs. Our medical team in Charlotte tailors a treatment plan after a thorough assessment of your health history and nutritional requirements. For many clients, we recommend two vitamin drip sessions per month to maintain optimal nutrient levels and support overall wellness. This bi-monthly regimen helps enhance energy, immune function, and metabolic processes while preventing the fluctuations associated with less frequent treatments.

Vitamin therapy is not only effective but also highly safe when administered under proper medical supervision. At our Charlotte center, every IV therapy session is conducted by qualified medical professionals, including registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and physician assistants. These experts have the necessary training and certification to ensure that the therapy is delivered safely and effectively.

Some patients get progressively better and after a series of treatments, they no longer require ongoing weekly vitamin therapy, only monthly treatments to maintain balance. Other patients need regular vitamin injections in order to help alleviate symptoms of their chronic or common medical conditions. Diagnostic tests are available to better determine how often a person should be receiving treatments.
