IV NutrientTherapy
Fuel Your Body from the Inside Out
Bypass the digestive system and deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream. Physician-assessed formulations, discussed and customized to your individual wellness goals at consultation.
Beyond Oral Supplements
IV Nutrient Therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
When you take vitamins orally, absorption can be limited by digestive breakdown and metabolic processing. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. At RAAC, we don't just offer 'menu items' — every infusion is discussed and customized at consultation based on your individual deficiencies and health goals. Dr. Jiang personally assesses your needs before each formulation is prepared.

How IV Therapy Works

Common Questions
How long does an IV therapy session take?+
Most IV drips (like Myers' Cocktail or Glutathione) take 30-45 minutes. NAD+ infusions require slower administration and typically take 2-4 hours to prevent side effects.
Does it hurt?+
There is a small pinch when the IV needle is inserted, similar to a blood test. Once the line is in place, the experience is painless and relaxing.
How often should I get IV therapy?+
For general wellness maintenance, once a month is common. For specific goals like skin brightening or acute fatigue recovery, Dr. Jiang may recommend weekly sessions for 4-6 weeks.
Is IV therapy safe?+
Yes, when administered by medical professionals. At RAAC, we use hospital-grade sterile equipment and screen all patients for contraindications before treatment.
Can I drive after IV therapy?+
Most patients can drive immediately after treatment. However, if you receive NAD+ or feel lightheaded, we recommend having someone drive you home.
Why is IV therapy better than oral supplements?+
Oral supplements can be limited by digestive breakdown. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, allowing for higher-dose formulations when clinically appropriate.
