Did you know of IV therapy leading to weight loss? You might have heard about IV therapy being beneficial as a hangover relief or rehydration treatment. However, using IV therapy for weight loss is one of the other health benefits the treatment might provide. But are there any visible results?
Medically trained professionals make a special mix of vitamins and IV fluids in their cocktails to effectively lead to the desired results. Providing you with studies and further reading materials, we will attempt to explain the benefits of IV drips. If you are planning your weight loss journey, read on!
IV Therapy for Weight Loss
What Is IV Therapy for Weight Loss
IV therapy has become one of the most popular methods of boosting your health and replenishing it with nutrients and vitamins. Some even say it helps with weight loss. The treatment involves one of our medically trained nurses administering IV fluids, vitamins, and nutrients into your bloodstream through a catheter.
Because with an IV Drip, the client receives the needed nutrients directly into the bloodstream, the same effects may be almost instantaneous.
Our cocktail menu has different IVs for specific ailments, among which is weight loss. Our IV drip cocktail, The Skinny, is specifically made for weight loss support.
How can IV therapy help you lose weight
With its special mix of ingredients known for targeting stubborn fat, our IV treatments may be the perfect companion for your weight loss journey. The IV drip may keep your metabolism working while boosting your system’s ability to break down and burn fat.
Moreover, IV fluids contain the optimal balance of vitamins and minerals that might support a long-lasting change during weight loss. But it is important to note that you must also exercise regularly and eat a proper diet alongside the IV treatment for weight loss.

What the Best IV Therapy for Weight Loss Does For You
While it’s important to note that IV treatment is not a weight loss cure, there may be certain benefits that might help with the process of losing weight. You will also need to make some lifestyle changes too.
But what IV treatments may do includes:
Provide faster recovery time post workouts. The nutrition provided by the IV drip may help your muscles recover faster and minimize feelings of fatigue.
Enhance energy levels by providing you with the needed hydration and vitamins.
Enhance your metabolism by giving a boost to your adrenal gland. This helps your metabolism burn fat faster.
Support your body composition changes.
Promote the healthy tissues and cells in your body.

Semaglutide Treatment
Semaglutide is a receptor agonist known as an incretin mimetic, which imitates the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). It promotes the synthesis of insulin. Semaglutide injections aim to control blood sugar levels.
Additionally, the injections cause a decrease in appetite, which may assist in weight loss. It is crucial to remember that Semaglutide is made to maximize the effects of a good diet and regular exercise.
You are unlikely to see the intended effects of semaglutide without making lifestyle changes. Semaglutide works best when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Recommended dose
The recommended dose of Semaglutide injections for maximum benefits is on a weekly basis. Semaglutide enters under your skin (subcutaneously) in easily administered self-injections.
Our Skinny IV drip compliments the semaglutide injections. The infusion is recommended on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
Possible benefits
Improved blood sugar control- semaglutide stimulates insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon secretion.
Effective weight loss- slows food movement in the stomach, decreases appetite, and promotes weight reduction.
Reduced cardiovascular risk- may lower the risk of cardiovascular events, reduce blood pressure, and risk of stroke.
Semaglutide treatment cost
10-30 units $300 for a 4 week supply
40-60 units $400 for a 4 week supply
70-90 units $500 for a 4 week supply
NAD+ Treatment
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme with many anti-inflammatory properties and wellness benefits. This coenzyme is essential to hundreds of metabolic processes.
That means that NAD+ not only plays a critical part in maintaining DNA integrity. NAD+ ensures that your cells work properly to safeguard your body from diseases and even aging. It also assists in converting food into energy.
NAD+ also enhances the body’s capacity to burn calories. Over time, the sum of all these effects can result in a sizable weight reduction. Elevated NAD+ levels are related to weight loss.
NAD+ can increase metabolic processes, energy levels, physical performance, and immune system health. It helps with addiction rehabilitation and removes many pollutants. It also improves mental clarity, memory, and focus.
Recommended dose
For maximum benefit of NAD+, our recommendation is to have regular treatments. But it would be best to ask your nurse to recommend the needed dose and number of treatments for your specific needs.
Possible benefits of NAD+
Your health may benefit from a lengthy range of things from NAD+.
Mental restoration- might improve mental clarity, brain cell regeneration, focus, mood, and memory.
Weight loss – may increase energy, restore muscle function, improve metabolism, and reduce inflammation.
Anti-aging- may reduce the effects of aging.
Addiction Recovery- may assist in withdrawals, improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, and reduce addiction cravings.
NAD+: Weight loss benefits
Although NAD+ treatment was not created expressly to assist people trying to lose weight, it does aid in speeding up the process.
Increased cellular metabolism
Your metabolism, which is directly tied to weight reduction, might be affected by NAD+ levels. The NAD+ treatment boosts your body’s level of NAD+, which aids in your cells’ ability to turn food into energy and quickens cellular metabolism.
It boosts BMR
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which measures how much energy your body burns during rest, increases with the help of NAD+. In other words, NAD+ increases your resting calorie expenditure.
Body fat burning
NAD+ increases metabolism, aiding the body to burn fat for energy. It improves strength and muscle. Exercise, as we all know, is extremely important for weight loss.
Thus, NAD+ makes training sessions more successful by enabling you to exercise longer and harder. This leads to quicker weight loss. It also helps you have stronger and healthier muscles.
Maintaining weight loss
When people reach their ideal weight, they frequently cease following a good diet and exercise plan, which causes the weight they have lost to return frequently. But, even if you become less active, NAD+ helps you lose weight by increasing your resting metabolism.
NAD+ treatment cost
$100 / 100 mg
$250 / 250 mg
$450 / 500 mg
$700 / 750 mg
$800 / 1000 mg

IV Vitamin Therapy for Weight Loss
Our infusion cocktails have only the best ingredients mixed by medical professionals. The IV Drips that support clients in their weight loss journey include special cocktail blends that work together that may target specific issues.
For example, three of our IV drips might help you by supporting different aspects of your weight loss.
The Skinny ($350) supports your overall weight loss journey. The infusion cocktail contains B12, B-Complex, Glutathione, L-Carnitine, Vitamin C, NAC, and IV Fluids.
The GOAT ($375) helps you achieve peak performance and recover fast after exercising. The infusion cocktail contains Vitamin C, B12, Zinc, Taurine, NAC, Pyridoxine (B6), and IV Fluids in the infusion cocktail. Plus, an NAD+ injection.
The Classic ($195) Myers helps you rehydrate and replenish vitamins and minerals faster than you can orally. The infusion cocktail contains vitamin C, B12, B-Complex, Zinc, Glutathione, Magnesium, and IV Fluids.
How IV Therapy Ingredients May Help with Weight Loss
The ingredients that best help when you are trying to lose weight are the following:
B12 and B-Complex vitamins
Glutathione
L-Carnitine
Vitamin C
Zinc
Taurine
Magnesium
B12 and B-complex
B vitamins may help with weight loss by increasing your metabolism. B vitamins help convert food, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, into energy.
Research also suggests vitamin B12 may play a great role in improving mood and depression. B vitamins boost immune function, help improve sleep patterns, and protect the health of the body’s nerves and blood cells.
Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant that might help your body create energy and improve insulin resistance. According to one study, patients with high glutathione levels achieve greater weight and body fat loss.
L-carnitine
L-carnitine is a nutrient that transports fatty acids into the mitochondria and converts them into energy. Research shows that l-carnitine reduces body weight, BMI, and fat mass, especially among overweight adults.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a known immunity booster that protects from various illnesses. But according to some research, vitamin C is inversely connected to weight loss. People with sufficient levels of vitamin C oxidize 30% more fat when exercising.
Zinc
Zinc has an important role in metabolic regulation and enzyme function. Zinc might also moderate appetite and eating behaviors. Research shows that by regulating appetite, zinc contributes to decreased food intake.
Taurine
Taurine is an endogenous non-protein and sulfuric-amino acid. Taurine has an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, insulin resistance inhibition, and lipid profile improvement role.
Some research shows that Taurine promotes healthy metabolism. Taurine might also aid weight loss by balancing electrolytes, lowering mild hypertension, and its anti-inflammatory properties.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral with a vital role in many bodily functions, among which weight loss. Magnesium helps relax smooth muscles. The mineral might also help improve insulin sensitivity, and sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, and regulate hormones.

Overweight and Obesity: The Health Effects and Risks
Carrying extra pounds does not always mean anything bad. When those extra pounds keep stacking, one needs to start worrying. But, excess body weight may lead to obesity and experiencing all the health risks associated with the condition.
In the United States, about 69% of the population is overweight or obese, and 36% is obese. Such a high percentage nationwide is a cause for concern for the patient’s health and the increased cost of health care.
Some of the associated effects and risks of being overweight or obese are the following:
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Type 2 Diabetes
Cardiovascular Disease
Cancer
Osteoarthritis
Respiratory Diseases (Sleep Apnea and Asthma)
Depression
High blood pressure (hypertension)
High blood pressure (hypertension) is among the health risks associated with weight gain. Hypertension can strain your heart, damage blood vessels, and increase the risk of a stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and death. A good way to lower hypertension is through weight loss and managing to remain as healthy as possible.
Type 2 diabetes
Being overweight leads to rising blood glucose levels, increasing the chance of type 2 diabetes development. When the fat cells increase due to obesity, they secrete hormones that cause inflammation. This changes the body’s metabolism of carbohydrates and makes it less responsive to insulin.
Cardiovascular disease
Weight gain leads to an increase in various cardiovascular risk factors. These risks include increased blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and inflammation. These cardiovascular risks lead to coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular death.
Cancer
Obesity may lead to the development of several types of cancers. The cancers linked to obesity include:
Esophagus
Pancreas
Colon and Rectum
Breast
Endometrium
Kidney
Gallbladder
Osteoarthritis
The more a person weighs, the bigger the pressure on their bones, muscles, and joints. The strain obesity puts on the musculoskeletal system increases the chances of osteoarthritis. Increased weight especially may affect the hips and joints.
Respiratory diseases
Obesity may also impact a person’s lung function. For example, the accumulated abdominal fat may limit the diaphragm’s movement and, consequently, the lungs’ expansion. Weakened chest wall flexibility may lead to respiratory diseases like sleep apnea and asthma.
Depression
Another health risk of excessive weight gain is a person’s mental health. People dealing with obesity may develop depression, often due to societal pressures and perceptions. Overweight individuals have an increased risk of depression.
