IV Drips work by delivering essential nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream using a small needle or tube that’s inserted directly into the vein. This bypasses digestion for faster absorption and immediate cellular use.
Regular 60-90 minute sessions can help you regain lost energy, improve immunity and boost performance.
How often should you receive a dose? It all depends on the type of IV Drip you choose and the specific nutrients it contains. This is why Dr. Rachele Pojednic, Restore’s Chief Science Officer, advises clients to think about why they are walking through the door before their first session.
Talking to our Registered Nurse is key to finding an IV schedule that works for you. “They are experts on these nutrients and understand how each blend and each individual nutrient can address your why for visiting,” Dr. Rachele adds.
In this article, our experts explain the recommended frequency based on various types of IV Drips and the benefits they can offer.
Highlights:
- IV Drip Therapy frequency depends on your wellness goals, lifestyle, nutrient status and the specific blend you choose.
- Our Registered Nurses can tailor your schedule for hydration, energy, skin health, recovery or longevity.
- Most clients benefit from weekly to monthly sessions, adjusted as the body responds.
- NAD⁺ and Niagen (NR) IV Drips can be added to any IV Drips to support cellular vitality and sustained energy.
How Often Should You Get an IV Drip?
Your ideal IV Drip schedule will depend on the blend you choose from our IV Drip Menu.
Depending on your wellness goals or underlying health conditions, you may be advised to receive a unique nutrient blend from our available IV Nutrients. You can also add miracle skin-rejuvenating ingredients like NAD+ and Niagen (NR) to any IV Drip you choose for cellular-level anti-aging benefits. The schedule may vary accordingly.
Regardless of what schedule is recommended for you, Dr. Rachele advises being consistent to see pronounced benefits. “When you do anything to your body, if you do it just once, the likelihood that that's going to work long term is pretty slim. So make sure that you are working with your nurse. Adjusting those formulations as your needs change,” she adds.
At Restore, we use the highest quality nutrients, providing 100% bioavailability of nutrients in the bloodstream as compared to 15-20% from oral supplements. This means that your body gets the benefits of IV Drip Therapy within just a few sessions.
Finding The Right IV Therapy Frequency for You
Here are the factors our Registered Nurse will consider to suggest the right cadence for you:
- Your wellness goals: Different nutrient combinations support different bodily functions. Your goals will determine which Drips you need and how often.
- Lifestyle: Athletes, frequent travelers and high-stress professionals put extra demands on their bodies. These lifestyles may require more frequent nutrient support for optimal performance.
- Drip type: Some blends, like NAD+ or Niagen (NR), work best at structured intervals. Other Drips can be adjusted as your body responds.
Here is the schedule we recommend for existing blends from our IV Menu:
Weight Management

Longevity
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a key cofactor in our body that supports mitochondrial energy production and helps maintain efficient cellular metabolism. As we age, NAD⁺ levels naturally decline, which can affect how well our cells convert nutrients into energy.
Our bodies use Niagen (NR), a specialized form of B3, to naturally replenish NAD+ levels.
Both NAD+ and Niagen (NR) are available as Add-Ons to any IV Drips or used as standalone compounds to boost cellular vitality.
NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ IV Therapy has powerful anti-aging benefits. NAD⁺ levels naturally decline with age, dropping sharply in the skin and steadily in the brain, which can affect everything from cellular repair and collagen production to energy, cognition and overall longevity.
Supporting healthy NAD⁺ levels may help maintain youthful skin, sharper brain function and better long term cellular health as we age.
- Nutrients: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)
- Frequency: We recommend starting with a loading dose within seven days before monthly maintenance Drips.
- Benefits: Support a healthy metabolism and sharpen cognition and mood, so you can feel focused, resilient and revitalized.
Niagen (NR) Therapy
Niagen (NR) is the superior way to experience the benefits of NAD+ Therapy. As our bodies can’t make NAD+ without NR, it's better suited to the body. We have found that it has fewer side effects and a 75% shorter infusion time compared to NAD+.
- Nutrients: Niagen (NR)
- Frequency: Monthly
- Benefits: Improve cellular and metabolic function while enhancing energy production to fight fatigue.
How to Know If You’re Getting the Right Amount
Your body often gives signals about how well it’s responding to IV Therapy. Paying attention to these can help you understand if it’s working for you. Here are signs you are getting enough nutrients:
- You feel more hydrated and energetic for longer periods between sessions.
- You recover faster from workouts, travel or mild illness.
- You notice steadier focus, deeper sleep or clearer skin.
If fatigue, sluggishness or dehydration return quickly, your body may benefit from adjusted nutrient levels or more frequent sessions.

FAQs
Can you have too many IV Drips?
Certainly. While vitamins and minerals are good for the body, excessive or unnecessary supplementation can cause health complications like nausea, muscle spasms or even organ failure.
This is why consulting a medical professional is best before you start any form of nutrient supplements, including oral supplements and IV Drips.
Are IV Therapies safe?
IV Therapy is safe when administered in accordance with strict medical guidelines.
Without enduring medical supervision, you risk developing hypervolemia, a condition where the body has a fluid overload. Wrong administration can also lead to infection, bruising or swelling in the veins.
All of these complications can be avoided with oversight from a Registered Nurse.
How long do IV Drip benefits last?
The longevity of an IV Drip’s benefits depends on the nutrient blend and the dosage schedule. Typically, the benefits last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. For instance, hydration benefits may be felt for a few days, but the enduring energy may last for a few weeks.
We encourage you to discuss your desired wellness outcomes during your consultation. The Medical Team will help you select a schedule that matches that.
Do I need IV Therapy if I take vitamins?
It depends on your health background. People with severe nutrient deficiencies or digestive issues that hinder nutrient absorption often find IV Drips more suitable, as they offer 100% bioavailability of nutrients in the bloodstream.
What’s the best schedule for beginners?
Restore experts will advise you on the best IV Drip schedule for your needs. Please refer to the table in the earlier section to see the recommended schedule for our most popular blends.
