For women between the ages of 35 and 55, life can be full of transitions: increased demands at work or evolving family responsibilities and undeniable shifts in hormones, metabolism and recovery.

Women's wellness needs to be more proactive and more personal as they age.

That’s where Intravenous (IV) Drips and Intramuscular (IM) Shots can help. These evidence-based therapies offer a highly effective way to deliver vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly into the body, often with faster, more noticeable results than oral supplements.

What Are IV Drips & IM Shots?

IV Drips infuse nutrients straight into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption. This route allows the body to receive higher concentrations of nutrients compared to oral intake.

IM Shots are injections given directly into muscle tissue, where nutrients are slowly absorbed into circulation over time. This method is ideal if you don't have 60-90 minutes for an IV Drip but do have time for a 5-minute IM Shot appointment.

Tip: Schedule a Cryotherapy session before your IM Shot to help numb the area. This 2-3 minute session of sub-zero temperature also offers numerous benefits for women’s sleep and mood.

Both options help correct nutrient deficiencies, enhance physical and mental performance and support individualized health goals.

Essential Nutrients That Support Women’s Health

B Vitamins: Energy, Mood & Mental Clarity

B Complex Vitamins, especially B6 and B9, (along with B12!) play key roles in energy metabolism and brain function. Deficiencies have been linked to fatigue, irritability and cognitive fog. 1,2  Delivered through an IV or IM Shot, B Vitamins can be quickly replenished, especially for those with impaired absorption or elevated needs.

Vitamin C: Immune Support & Skin Repair

Vitamin C isn’t just for colds.

It supports immune health, enhances collagen production with Lysine and Proline and offers antioxidant protection against daily stressors. 3 IV Therapy delivery can achieve potency far beyond what’s possible with supplements, potentially amplifying its benefits. 4

Magnesium: Muscle Recovery & Heart Health

Magnesium supports over 300 enzyme reactions, including those regulating muscle contraction, nerve signaling and heart rhythm (5). Did you know it’s a common deficiency, often due to stress or diet?

IV Drips offer fast, effective replenishment for symptoms like cramps, fatigue or palpitations.6

Amino Acids & CoQ10: Strength & Stamina

L-Carnitine helps the body burn fat for fuel and supports post-exercise recovery, while Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) boosts mitochondrial energy and reduces oxidative stress. 7,8 

These nutrients are especially helpful for women managing fitness routines or fatigue and age-related metabolic changes.

Glutathione: Boost Detox & Cellular Defense

Known as the body’s “Master Antioxidant,” Glutathione protects against oxidative stress, supports liver detoxification and strengthens immune resilience. 9 IV delivery enhances bioavailability, which may be beneficial during periods of high physical or environmental stress.

Why Women Are Turning to IV & IM Nutrient Therapy

  • Improved Absorption: Bypassing the digestive tract allows nutrients to go directly where they’re needed.
  • Custom Wellness: Blends can be tailored by a Nurse to support energy, metabolism, immune health, cognition or skin.
  • Fast Results: Many individuals notice a difference in how they feel—often within hours or days.

Backed by Science, Guided by Experts

The current research speaks for itself and supports the physiological rationale behind these delivery methods. IV Drips and IM Shots are especially promising for individuals with nutrient absorption issues or high metabolic demands. 10

Wellness That Works as Hard as You Do

Today’s high-performing women are balancing more than ever! Why not give yourself the support you need to keep up? IV Drips and IM Shots offer a smarter, faster way to restore essential nutrients and feel your best. Whether you're seeking more energy, clearer focus, stronger workouts or better recovery, these therapies are designed to help you thrive—not just get through the day.
