What Is IV Hydration?
IV Hydration is fluid and nutrient administration intravenously through an IV catheter to replenish or provide optimal levels of vitamins and minerals, allowing your body to heal, detoxify, and function at its maximum capacity.
What Are the Benefits?
100% bioavailability! Supplements taken orally must pass through the gut, only giving you a fraction of absorption, and even less if you have gut or inflammatory issues.
IV administration gets those nutrients straight to the source and can help your body heal and recover from the inside out.
What is the Goal of IV Hydration?
Our goal is to help you life your biggest, best life. That means feeling good. When your body has the nutrients it needs for optimal performance, optimal healing, and maximum energy – you have the best chance of living a life of purpose and meaning.
How Is Big Life’s IV Hydration Different than the Standard IV Bar?
- Knowledge. On-site supervision from our medical providers.
- Loaded. We offer more nutrients in every bag than anywhere else.
- Quality. We offer preservative-free nutrient options because we don’t want your body to have any more barriers to wellness. There are preservatives in your food, household products, environment, etc. You don’t need them in your veins.
- Outcomes. We want our patients to feel better when they leave our office. Our providers formulate personalized nutrient pushes that give your cells better nutrition by not diluting our IV supplements. Our patients feel more effects more quickly.
What’s the Difference between Hydration and Nutrient Therapy?
They can sometimes be one and the same and sometimes quite different. Hydration therapy is the replacement of fluid through administration into your veins. The bag of fluid can contain vitamins and minerals, or those nutrients can be administered separately (meaning not diluted in the fluid) – such as through a shot or pushed through an IV catheter. Administration depends on which nutrients are being given and how much fluid is needed in order to provide safe and effective administration.
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is the master detoxifier! It is a peptide derived from amino acids in your body. It is an incredible antioxidant.
Found in every cell in the body but mostly concentrated in your liver, glutathione is crucial to breaking down free radicals, decreasing, inflammation, and removing toxins from cells. Cells lacking glutathione are at risk for damage due to oxidative stress.
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a cellular transport molecule found in every cell of the body and is essential for cell life and cell function, including DNA and mitochondrial protection. NAD+ is popularly referred to as an anti-aging molecule because its presence is highest in babies and decreases as we age. It is said to help healing at a cellular and DNA level.
NAD+ is continually made and recycled in the cells but is often depleted due to DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and age-related illnesses and diseases. Lower levels of NAD+ have been found in people with comorbidities that involve free radicals and oxidative stress, including diabetes, heart disease, vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.
Many studies are underway to asses the benefits of NAD+, but it is suggested that NAD+ therapy may encourage optimal mitochondrial function and homeostasis, genomic stability, neuroprotection, long life, and may even help with addition treatment. Big Life is proud to offer NAD+ treatments. It is a longer infusion, with the first dose often infused over 2-4 hours. We can also offer NAD+ as an injection.

What is high dose Ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy or high dose ozone therapy is a revolutionary alternative medicine treatment that involves adding ozone gas to the blood via an IV drip. This highly oxygenated gas has a number of energizing and regenerative properties, helping to boost the patient’s immune system and overall wellness.
How does Ozone therapy work?
To begin, one of our experienced providers will discuss your symptoms, review your health history, and determine if ozone therapy is right for you. In many cases, treatment can be started the same day as your consultation. An ozone therapy treatment starts with a small blood draw from your arm. Specialized equipment is then used to infuse ozone gas into the blood, after which it is transferred back to the patient’s vein via an IV drip.
What does Ozone therapy help with?
Ozone IV therapy has been shown to be beneficial for treating a wide variety of symptoms and conditions, whether in place of or alongside conventional therapies. The fundamental property of ozone therapy that makes it an effective treatment tool for many conditions is its regenerative and energizing effects on the body’s cells. Some of the most common issues that lead patients to seek high dose ozone therapy include:
- Cancer
- GI disorders
- Chronic pain
- Autoimmune diseases
- Circulation problems
- Cardiovascular disease
- Skin problems
- Chronic inflammation
- Weakened immune system
- Low energy or fatigue
- Desire for optimized athletic performance
It is important for patients considering high dose ozone therapy to understand that the treatment itself may not be a cure for disease, though it can help to alleviate symptoms and enhance the body’s response to certain conditions. In many cases, patients choose to undergo ozone therapy to complement the effects of more traditional treatments or procedures.
How many Ozone drips will I need?
For most patients, an average of 6 – 10 high dose ozone treatments will be needed to achieve their desired level of relief. Typically, patients notice the effects of ozone therapy after the first 3 – 4 sessions.
