Direct Delivery. Maximum Absorption. Nutrients That Actually
Reach Your Cells

Oral vitamins and supplements must survive digestion, first-pass liver metabolism, and intestinal absorption before reaching the bloodstream, and only a fraction of what is taken orally ever arrives at the tissues that need it. Intravenous vitamin infusion bypasses this entire process, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream at concentrations that are simply not achievable by mouth. The result is immediate, complete availability of nutrients at the cellular level, producing effects that are faster, more complete, and more clinically meaningful than oral supplementation can achieve.

At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, IV therapy is supervised by Dr. Akers and formulated based on your individual health status, lab values, and treatment goals. From Myers Cocktail formulas that combine essential vitamins and minerals for broad wellness support, to high-dose vitamin C immune protocols, NAD+ cellular energy infusions, and custom-formulated nutrient blends, every infusion is prepared and administered under clinical supervision with physician review of your health history before any protocol is initiated.

IV Therapy & Vitamin Infusion Services What We Provide

From Myers Cocktail and hydration therapy to NAD+ infusions, high-dose vitamin C, and custom nutrient blends, Superior Health provides physician-supervised IV therapy for wellness, recovery, immune support, and energy optimization. Explore the services below.

The Myers Cocktail is the most widely studied intravenous vitamin protocol in integrative medicine. The formula combines magnesium, calcium, B vitamins including B12 and B-complex, and vitamin C in a solution that delivers a comprehensive micronutrient correction in a single infusion. It is used for fatigue, fibromyalgia, immune support, seasonal illness prevention, general wellness optimization, and as a reset after periods of high stress, illness, or demanding physical activity.
Optimal cellular function, cognitive performance, physical recovery, and skin quality all depend on adequate hydration at the tissue level. Even moderate dehydration impairs physiological function in ways that are not always felt as thirst. IV hydration delivers saline and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream, restoring fluid balance rapidly and completely. IV hydration is particularly valuable for recovery from illness, physical exertion, travel fatigue, and the functional effects of alcohol-related dehydration.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme essential to cellular energy production, DNA repair, and the function of sirtuins, proteins involved in cellular aging and metabolic regulation. NAD+ levels decline with age, impacting energy metabolism, cognitive clarity, and cellular repair capacity. Intravenous NAD+ administration delivers this coenzyme directly to the cells where it is needed, bypassing the poor oral absorption of NAD+ precursors. IV NAD+ is used for energy optimization, cognitive support, cellular anti-aging, and substance recovery protocols.
Vitamin C at doses achievable only by intravenous administration has immune-supporting, antioxidant, and tissue-protective effects that oral vitamin C cannot produce. The intestinal absorption limit for oral vitamin C caps plasma levels far below what IV administration achieves, and this difference in achievable plasma concentration is clinically significant. High-dose IV vitamin C is used for immune support during illness, seasonal illness prevention, tissue recovery support, and as part of integrative wellness protocols.
B vitamins are essential cofactors in energy metabolism, neurological function, red blood cell production, and numerous enzymatic processes throughout the body. B12 deficiency is common, particularly in older adults, those on proton pump inhibitors, and vegetarians. IV administration of B12 and the full B-complex bypasses the intrinsic factor-dependent intestinal absorption that limits oral B12 uptake, producing complete repletion in a single infusion and improving energy, cognitive clarity, and neurological support.
Dr. Akers formulates custom IV nutrient blends based on your specific laboratory values, health concerns, and treatment goals. Custom formulations may combine standard components in different ratios, incorporate additional nutrients not in standard protocols, or focus a high-dose single-nutrient infusion on a specific deficiency or goal identified in your health evaluation. A physician consultation is required to review your health history and lab values before a custom formulation is initiated.
Why It Matters The Absorption Gap That
Changes Everything
IV therapy benefits at Superior Health Medical
01 Bioavailability Is the Difference Between Supplementation and Therapy

For most vitamins, oral bioavailability ranges from 10 to 50% of the dose taken, with the remainder lost to GI transit, first-pass metabolism, or absorption limitations. IV delivery achieves 100% bioavailability because nutrients enter the bloodstream directly. This difference in bioavailability is the difference between supplement-level and therapeutic-level nutrient availability at the tissue level.

02 Some Protocols Require IV-Level Concentrations to Work

Vitamin C's immune-modulating effects require plasma concentrations achievable only by IV infusion. NAD+ absorption by mouth is poor enough that oral forms cannot consistently raise tissue NAD+ levels. For these protocols, IV delivery is not simply a more efficient route: it is the only route that produces the clinical effect. Dr. Akers identifies which protocols require IV delivery versus those where oral forms are clinically appropriate.

03 The Effects Are Felt More Quickly and Completely

Patients typically notice the effects of IV vitamin therapy more rapidly than oral supplementation, both because the nutrients are available immediately rather than after absorption and because the achievable dose is higher. Energy, cognitive clarity, and sense of wellbeing improvements from Myers Cocktail or NAD+ infusions are often reported within hours to a day of treatment.

The Formulations What Goes Into
Each Infusion

Each IV infusion protocol at Superior Health is prepared using pharmaceutical-grade components. The components used include sterile saline or lactated Ringer's as the carrier solution, water-soluble vitamins including ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, and biotin, and minerals including magnesium, calcium, and zinc at doses calibrated to the specific protocol and the patient's evaluation findings.

NAD+ infusions use pharmaceutical-grade nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide administered at a controlled infusion rate to manage the flush sensation that occurs when NAD+ is infused too rapidly. The infusion rate is adjusted throughout the session based on patient tolerance, and a typical NAD+ infusion takes two to four hours for a full therapeutic dose. Dr. Akers reviews your health history and goals before your first NAD+ infusion and establishes the appropriate protocol for your situation.

Custom formulations are prepared based on Dr. Akers' assessment of your laboratory values and clinical situation. Before a custom protocol is initiated, Dr. Akers reviews the proposed formulation for clinical appropriateness including checking for any interactions with your current medications or health conditions. This physician review step is what distinguishes medical-grade IV therapy from commercial drip bar services that operate without physician oversight.

Your Session The IV Therapy
Experience

Your IV therapy session begins with a health check and review of your goals and any changes in health status since your last visit. A registered professional places the IV catheter in a peripheral vein, typically in the forearm or antecubital area, and connects the infusion bag. Most infusions run over 30 to 60 minutes, though NAD+ infusions take two to four hours. You are free to use your phone, read, or rest during the infusion in our comfortable treatment room.

Most patients find IV therapy sessions relaxing and experience no discomfort beyond the initial catheter placement. Side effects are rare under proper physician supervision and with appropriate screening. After your infusion, you can resume normal activities immediately. The frequency of IV therapy depends on your goals: some patients benefit from weekly or monthly infusions, while others use them seasonally or as needed for recovery and performance.

IV therapy is most effective for fatigue and energy optimization, immune support and illness prevention, hydration restoration, nutritional deficiency correction, cognitive support, and recovery from physical exertion or illness. It is also used in integrative wellness programs as a regular maintenance protocol for patients focused on cellular health and anti-aging. Dr. Akers evaluates your specific goals and health status to recommend the most appropriate protocol.
Frequency depends entirely on your goals and protocol. Patients using IV therapy for energy optimization and general wellness often find monthly or bimonthly infusions maintain the benefits. Those recovering from illness may benefit from weekly infusions for a short period. NAD+ therapy typically involves an initial series of several infusions over one to two weeks followed by monthly maintenance. Dr. Akers recommends a frequency based on your protocol and response.
IV vitamin therapy under physician supervision with appropriate patient screening is a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Risks include minor bruising at the IV site and rare vein irritation. Serious adverse events are extremely rare when protocols are appropriate for the patient's health status and medical history. The physician supervision at Superior Health is what distinguishes this from unregulated commercial IV drip bar services.
Commercial IV drip bars operate without physician oversight, meaning there is no review of your health history, medications, or lab values before infusion and no clinical assessment of which protocol is appropriate for your situation. Dr. Akers reviews every patient's health history before their first infusion, identifies any contraindications or medication interactions, and recommends the formulation and dose appropriate for your individual clinical situation.
Lab work is recommended but not always required for standard protocols like hydration or Myers Cocktail in otherwise healthy patients. For NAD+ therapy, high-dose vitamin C, and custom formulations, Dr. Akers typically reviews relevant laboratory values to ensure the protocol is appropriate and to identify any deficiencies that should inform the formulation. Dr. Akers can order the appropriate panels at your initial consultation if needed.
