IV Therapy in Edmond
Advanced intravenous nutrient therapy designed to rapidly restore hydration, replenish essential vitamins and minerals, support immune function, and optimize metabolic performance. Our physician-supervised IV therapy protocols deliver targeted nutrition directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption and immediate benefit.

What is IV Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a medical treatment that delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a small catheter placed in a vein. By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy achieves 100% bioavailability of nutrients, meaning your cells receive the full therapeutic dose immediately. This direct delivery method makes IV therapy significantly more effective than oral supplementation, which typically has absorption rates of only 20-50% depending on individual digestive health, medication interactions, and metabolic factors.
At Encompass Wellness and Aesthetics, our IV therapy protocols are designed by our hormone and metabolic medicine specialists to address a wide range of health concerns. Whether you're dealing with chronic fatigue, recovering from illness or intense physical activity, managing stress and burnout, supporting detoxification pathways, or optimizing athletic performance, customized IV formulations can provide rapid symptom relief and support long-term wellness goals. Our approach integrates IV therapy with comprehensive metabolic assessment to ensure treatments align with your unique biochemical needs and health objectives.
IV therapy has a strong evidence base in clinical medicine, having been used in hospitals for decades to treat dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and various acute conditions. Modern wellness-focused IV therapy builds on this medical foundation, applying the same delivery method with formulations specifically designed for preventive health, performance optimization, and chronic condition management. Research demonstrates that IV administration of nutrients like vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and glutathione can effectively support immune function, reduce oxidative stress, improve energy metabolism, and accelerate recovery from physical and mental stressors.

Our IV Therapy Formulations
Hydration and Recovery
Our foundational hydration therapy combines balanced electrolytes with essential B vitamins and vitamin C to rapidly restore fluid balance, support cellular energy production, and enhance recovery from dehydration due to illness, travel, intense exercise, or lifestyle factors. This formulation includes normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution as the base, with added B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc to support metabolic function and immune response.
Immune Support
High-dose vitamin C (up to 25 grams) combined with zinc, selenium, and glutathione to strengthen immune defense mechanisms, reduce oxidative stress, and support the body's natural ability to fight infections. This formulation is particularly beneficial during cold and flu season, for frequent travelers, or for individuals with chronic immune challenges. Vitamin C at these therapeutic doses has been shown to support white blood cell function and enhance antioxidant capacity throughout the body.
Energy and Performance
A comprehensive blend of B vitamins, amino acids (including taurine, carnitine, and arginine), and minerals designed to optimize cellular energy production, support mitochondrial function, and enhance both mental and physical performance. This formulation is ideal for athletes, professionals facing high cognitive demands, or anyone experiencing chronic fatigue. The amino acids support protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and metabolic efficiency.
NAD+ Therapy
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and healthy aging processes. NAD+ levels decline with age and stress, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction. Our NAD+ IV therapy delivers this powerful molecule directly to cells to support mitochondrial health, enhance mental clarity, support addiction recovery, and promote longevity and cellular repair mechanisms.
Glutathione Push
Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant, playing essential roles in detoxification, immune function, and cellular protection from oxidative damage. This therapy can be added to any IV formulation or administered as a standalone push injection. Glutathione supports liver detoxification pathways, skin health and brightness, reduction of inflammation, and protection against environmental toxins and metabolic byproducts.
Myers' Cocktail
The classic therapeutic IV formulation developed by Dr. John Myers, combining magnesium, calcium, B vitamins (B5, B6, B12, B complex), and vitamin C. This well-researched protocol supports a wide range of conditions including fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, seasonal allergies, muscle spasms, and general wellness maintenance. The balanced combination of nutrients works synergistically to support multiple metabolic pathways and has decades of clinical use demonstrating safety and efficacy.

What to Expect
First Visit
Your initial consultation includes a thorough health assessment, discussion of your symptoms and goals, review of any relevant lab work, and selection of the most appropriate IV formulation. We'll explain the entire process, answer all your questions, and ensure you're comfortable before beginning your first infusion. The IV is placed using a small catheter in your arm, and most patients report minimal discomfort during placement. You'll relax in our comfortable treatment room while the infusion runs over 30-60 minutes.
During Treatment (Weeks 1-2)
Many patients notice improvements in energy, hydration status, and overall well-being within hours of their first treatment. Some benefits are immediate (like improved hydration and reduced headache), while others build over several treatments (like sustained energy improvement and immune resilience). For acute concerns like dehydration or recovery from illness, a single treatment may provide significant relief. For chronic conditions or optimization goals, we typically recommend a series of treatments.
Establishing Results (Weeks 2-8)
As you receive regular treatments (typically weekly or bi-weekly initially), you'll experience cumulative benefits as your body's nutrient stores are replenished and metabolic function optimizes. You may notice sustained improvements in energy levels throughout the day, better sleep quality, enhanced mental clarity and focus, improved exercise performance and recovery, stronger immune function with fewer illnesses, and better stress resilience. We'll monitor your progress and adjust your treatment protocol as needed.
Long-term Maintenance
Once you've achieved your initial goals, we'll work with you to develop a maintenance schedule that preserves your results and supports ongoing wellness. This might involve monthly treatments for general wellness support, treatments during times of increased stress or travel, seasonal immune support protocols, or pre- and post-event treatments for athletic performance. Many patients integrate IV therapy as part of a comprehensive wellness plan that includes hormone optimization, nutritional support, and lifestyle medicine for optimal long-term health and vitality.
Medical-Grade Administration
All IV therapy at Encompass Wellness and Aesthetics is administered under physician supervision using pharmaceutical-grade nutrients and sterile technique. Our staff is trained in IV catheter placement, monitoring during infusion, and recognition of any adverse reactions. Each treatment takes place in our comfortable infusion suite where you can relax during your therapy session, which typically lasts 30-60 minutes depending on the formulation.
We source all nutrients from FDA-registered compounding pharmacies that adhere to strict quality control standards. Every formulation is prepared specifically for each patient on the day of administration to ensure freshness, potency, and safety. Before your first IV therapy session, we review your complete medical history, current medications, and any allergies to ensure the safest, most effective treatment protocol.
Common Questions About IV Therapy
Is IV therapy safe? What are the potential side effects?
IV therapy is very safe when administered by trained medical professionals using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and sterile technique. Side effects are rare and typically mild, including slight bruising or discomfort at the IV site, a cool sensation during infusion, or temporary mineral taste during certain formulations. We conduct a thorough health screening before your first treatment to identify any contraindications or necessary precautions. All patients are monitored throughout their infusion, and our physician is always available should any concerns arise. Serious complications are extremely rare with proper administration and patient selection.
How quickly will I feel results from IV therapy?
Many patients notice immediate effects from IV therapy, particularly improvements in hydration status, headache relief, and initial energy boost. Because nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream at therapeutic doses, your cells have immediate access to what they need. However, the timeline for noticing benefits varies by individual and condition. Acute symptoms like dehydration or hangover typically improve within hours. Energy and immune improvements often become noticeable over several days to weeks as your body's nutrient stores are replenished. For chronic conditions or optimization goals, cumulative benefits build over a series of treatments. Most patients report feeling significantly better within their first few sessions.
How often should I get IV therapy treatments?
Treatment frequency depends on your individual health goals and condition. For acute needs like recovery from illness, dehydration, or hangover, a single treatment may be sufficient. For chronic fatigue, immune support, or performance optimization, we typically recommend starting with weekly treatments for 4-6 weeks to establish nutrient repletion, then transitioning to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance treatments. Athletes may benefit from weekly or bi-weekly treatments during training seasons. Some patients use IV therapy strategically—before travel, during high-stress periods, or at the first sign of illness. During your consultation, we'll develop a personalized treatment schedule based on your specific needs, health status, and goals.
What's the difference between IV therapy and taking oral supplements?
The primary difference is bioavailability—the percentage of nutrients that actually reach your bloodstream and cells. Oral supplements must pass through your digestive system where absorption is limited by stomach acid, digestive enzymes, intestinal health, food interactions, and individual metabolism. Most oral vitamins have bioavailability of only 20-50%, meaning you absorb less than half of what you take. IV therapy bypasses digestion entirely, delivering 100% of nutrients directly into your bloodstream for immediate cellular use. This allows us to achieve therapeutic blood levels that would be impossible or impractical with oral supplementation. IV therapy is particularly valuable for individuals with digestive issues, malabsorption, or high-dose nutrient needs that exceed oral tolerance. Both methods have value, and we often recommend a combination approach for optimal results.
Can IV therapy help with specific health conditions I'm experiencing?
IV therapy has been shown to support a wide range of health conditions through targeted nutrient repletion and metabolic support. Common conditions that may benefit include chronic fatigue syndrome and low energy, fibromyalgia and chronic pain, migraine and tension headaches, seasonal allergies and sinus issues, frequent colds and infections, athletic performance and recovery needs, acute viral illnesses, hangover and dehydration, stress and burnout, and age-related cognitive decline. During your consultation, we'll review your specific health concerns, medical history, and current treatments to determine if IV therapy is appropriate and which formulation would be most beneficial. IV therapy works best as part of a comprehensive approach that may also include hormone optimization, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle modifications tailored to your individual needs.
