What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is a popular, fast, and easy treatment that intravenously delivers essential vitamins, antioxidants, and supplements to your body. The Yao Hsu MD, Inc. team administers IV therapy via an IV drip into the arm of your choice. 

By deploying these nutrients and vitamins intravenously, the fluid can circumvent your digestive system by entering your bloodstream directly. This accelerates the process of absorption. 

Depending on your needs, Yao Hsu MD, Inc. provides an array of customized combinations for all patients. 

IV therapy is designed to enhance your overall wellbeing with targeted IV fluids that may aid in easing the effects of a hangover, rejuvenate your skin, or provide vital hydration after physical exercise.

How can IV therapy enhance my wellbeing? 

Yao Hsu MD, Inc. offers a broad selection of popular IV therapies, including the Myers’ cocktail. Each combination features a variety of health-enhancing supplements and nutrients to help you achieve your wellness goals. These combinations or 'cocktails' are personalized to your goals, so talk to your provider about the options available.

What is a Myers’ cocktail?

The Myers’ cocktail is one of the best-known types of IV therapy, named for the pioneering doctor who created it. The cocktail includes B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C.

This combination may help address a number of health conditions, such as:

• Migraines
• Asthma attacks
• Fatigue, including chronic fatigue syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• Colds and the flu
• Chronic sinus infections
• Seasonal allergies
• Heart disease

Talk to your provider at Yao Hsu MD, Inc. about the potential benefits of the Myers’ cocktail and whether it can give you relief from your health issues.

Is IV therapy better than taking vitamins?

While vitamins are especially useful and plentiful in the consumer market, some providers recommend IV therapy instead. This is because certain research shows that IV therapy delivers vitamins more directly into your body than ingesting vitamins can.  

For example, when you swallow a vitamin, your digestive system may break down a larger portion of it, leaving less of the vitamin available for your body to absorb. In contrast, your body can absorb much more of a vitamin when it is administered via IV therapy.
