IV THERAPY
Hydration & recovery. Medically guided.
IV therapy delivers fluids and selected ingredients through an intravenous infusion.
VECTOR treats IV therapy as medical care—not a one-size-fits-all wellness service. Health history, current needs, medications, allergies, and goals are reviewed before an infusion is recommended.
A thoughtful approach to IV therapy
Start with what you actually need.
Wellness infusions are often promoted with sweeping claims. The evidence varies, and more ingredients do not automatically make an infusion better. VECTOR selects an infusion only when there is a reasonable purpose and provides realistic guidance about potential benefits and limitations.
IV therapy at VECTOR
Simple. Individualized. Appropriately selected.
MEDICAL SCREENING
Review history, medications, allergies, symptoms, and relevant risks.
INDIVIDUAL SELECTION
Choose the infusion and ingredients according to clinical circumstances.
CLINICAL OVERSIGHT
Provide treatment with appropriate monitoring rather than as a routine spa service.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Do not promise benefits that are unsupported or uncertain.
IV hydration and supportive infusions
Selected support for selected needs.
IV fluids may help in selected circumstances when oral hydration is insufficient, difficult, or inappropriate for the situation. Many people can meet hydration needs by drinking fluids; an IV is not automatically better.
Selected supportive ingredients may include vitamins, minerals, NAD+, glutathione, or other components when clinically appropriate. Each has potential risks, limitations, and a specific evidence base. VECTOR does not promise detoxification, disease prevention, anti-aging, cognitive enhancement, increased longevity, or dramatic wellness effects.
When IV therapy may not be appropriate
More treatment isn't always better treatment.
Some conditions, medications, or symptoms make an infusion inappropriate or require additional evaluation. IV therapy should never delay diagnostic evaluation, urgent care, or emergency treatment.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy delivers fluids and selected ingredients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. The specific infusion and whether IV therapy is appropriate depend on the individual's needs and clinical circumstances.
Is IV hydration better than drinking water?
Not necessarily. For many people, oral hydration is appropriate and sufficient. IV hydration may be useful in selected circumstances, but receiving fluids intravenously does not automatically make hydration better or more beneficial.
What can be included in an IV infusion?
Depending on the treatment and your individual needs, an infusion may contain fluids and selected vitamins, minerals, or other ingredients. VECTOR recommends ingredients based on clinical appropriateness rather than assuming that more ingredients provide greater benefit.
Does IV therapy boost immunity or detox the body?
IV therapy should not be presented as a way to guarantee enhanced immunity or "detoxification." Claims about wellness IVs vary in the quality of evidence supporting them, and VECTOR provides realistic guidance about potential benefits and limitations.
Does VECTOR offer NAD+?
NAD+ therapy may be available as part of VECTOR's IV and recovery services. Because evidence for many promoted wellness and longevity benefits remains evolving, your provider can discuss what is known, limitations of the evidence, and whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Does VECTOR offer glutathione?
Glutathione may be available as part of VECTOR's IV and recovery services when clinically appropriate. Your provider will discuss the available evidence, limitations, potential risks, and whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Are IV infusions safe?
IV therapy has potential risks, including those associated with IV access, fluid administration, and individual ingredients. Screening helps identify factors that may affect whether an infusion is appropriate, but no medical treatment is risk-free.
Can I get an IV if I'm sick?
That depends on your symptoms and health circumstances. Some illnesses require medical evaluation or treatment beyond hydration. If your symptoms suggest another level or type of care is needed, an IV should not be used as a substitute.
Do I need a concierge membership for IV therapy?
No. IV therapy is available separately from VECTOR's concierge medicine membership.
