IV Nutrient Therapy
Vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients delivered directly into the bloodstream, used as an adjunct only where a deficiency has been confirmed on testing.
What it is & how it works
IV Nutrient Therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing gastrointestinal absorption. This route can achieve higher, more immediate bioavailability than oral supplementation, which is relevant where a confirmed deficiency (e.g. B12, magnesium, vitamin C, glutathione) is limiting recovery or function.
How it's done
Typically administered via a peripheral IV line in a monitored clinical setting, with sessions lasting roughly 30–60 minutes. Frequency is individualized based on baseline lab testing and clinical response, administered by a nurse or physician, with vital-sign monitoring during infusion.

Why Unfold Longevity
Used as an adjunct only where a deficiency has been confirmed on testing, not offered as a general wellness default — reflecting Unfold Longevity's evidence-bounded, individualized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all IV menu.
Evidence & safety
Adjunct used where deficiency is confirmed, not as a general wellness default.

It carries the general risks of any needle-based infusion, such as bruising or infection at the site, plus risks specific to nutrient overdose at high doses, and rare but serious complications like embolism. It is avoided or used with added caution in people with heart, kidney, or blood-pressure conditions.
There is limited scientific evidence that IV vitamins provide a reliable wellness benefit in people without a documented deficiency, and it is not a substitute for a healthy diet or prescribed medication. That is why it is used here only where testing has confirmed a specific deficiency, rather than offered as a general infusion.
