Vitamin C
One of the most versatile nutrients in wellness. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function, drives collagen production for skin and connective tissue, and helps protect cells from everyday oxidative stress. Delivered intravenously, it bypasses the limits of digestion so your body receives far more than an oral dose allows.
B Complex
A family of essential vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6) that work together to convert food into energy, support the nervous system, and keep metabolism running smoothly. Because they are water-soluble and used up quickly, regular replenishment helps maintain steady energy and resilience.
Thiamine (B1)
Essential for converting nutrients into energy and maintaining healthy nerve function. B1 is especially important for the brain and is one of the first vitamins depleted by stress and alcohol.
Riboflavin (B2)
Supports cellular energy production and plays a key role in neurological wellness. It helps your cells' mitochondria — their energy engines — function properly.
Niacinamide (B3)
A gentle, non-flushing form of niacin that supports healthy circulation, skin, and general nervous system function.
Pantothenic Acid (B5)
Plays a central role in energy metabolism and supports the adrenal glands and immune cell function.
Pyridoxine (B6)
A cofactor in over a hundred bodily reactions, B6 plays an essential role in amino acid metabolism and is a long-trusted support for mood and general nervous system health.
Biotin (B7)
The beauty vitamin, prized for supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails.
Folic Acid (B9)
Critical for healthy cell division and DNA synthesis, making it essential for preconception wellness and overall cellular health. Works hand-in-hand with B12.
Cobalamin (B12)
Supports energy, red blood cell formation, and a healthy nervous system. Paired with folate, it powers the methylation reactions your body relies on daily.
Vitamin D3
Often called the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D3 is essential for immune resilience, bone strength, and overall wellbeing. Many people run low without realizing it — especially those who spend most of their time indoors. A targeted injection helps restore healthy levels directly, bypassing the absorption variability of oral supplements.
Magnesium
Involved in over 300 bodily processes, magnesium is one of the most important — and most commonly depleted — minerals. It supports muscle relaxation, calms the nervous system, and aids energy production — making it a go-to for cramps, tension, and mood.
Calcium
Beyond bone health, calcium supports muscle function and nerve signaling. In our women's blends, it works with magnesium to support premenstrual comfort.
Zinc
A cornerstone mineral for immune function, skin repair, hormonal balance, and reproductive health in both men and women.
Glutathione
Known as the body's master antioxidant, glutathione neutralizes free radicals, supports liver detoxification, and is the single most prized ingredient for skin brightening and a luminous complexion. Because it is delicate, we deliver it as a slow IV push at the end of your drip — the method that preserves its potency and gets the most into your system.
NAC (N-Acetylcysteine)
A precursor that fuels your body's own production of glutathione. NAC is a powerful antioxidant in its own right and a key support for liver detoxification and respiratory health.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
A unique antioxidant that is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to work throughout the body — including the brain, where most antioxidants cannot reach. ALA also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione, multiplying their effect.
Arginine
A precursor to nitric oxide, which relaxes and widens blood vessels to support healthy circulation — important for physical performance and overall vitality.
Taurine
A calming amino acid that supports neurological balance and circulatory wellness, and helps soothe an overactive nervous system.
BCAAs
Leucine, isoleucine, and valine — the amino acids most directly involved in muscle repair, recovery, and growth.
Alanine
An amino acid that supports physical endurance and energy production.
Glycine
A calming amino acid that supports sleep, relaxation, and healthy neurotransmitter balance.
L-Carnitine
Transports fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria to be burned for energy — supporting physical performance, recovery, and male reproductive health.
Inositol
A naturally occurring compound studied for its supportive role in general wellness, including nervous system balance and healthy metabolic function. Found in the MICC injection alongside methionine, choline, and B12.
Methionine
An essential amino acid the body cannot produce on its own, methionine supports liver health, fat metabolism, and the production of antioxidant compounds including cysteine. Featured in the MCC injection alongside choline and B12, where it contributes to healthy metabolic function.
Choline
A nutrient essential for liver health, fat metabolism, and brain function. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine — a neurotransmitter involved in normal nerve signaling and muscular function — and supports the structural integrity of cell membranes. Found in the MCC injection alongside methionine and B12.
Amino Blend
A balanced combination of essential amino acids including glutamine, lysine, arginine, proline, and taurine that supply the building blocks for cellular repair, recovery, and overall vitality.
CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10)
A compound found in every cell that powers mitochondrial energy production. CoQ10 is one of the most evidence-backed nutrients for cellular energy, antioxidant protection, and overall vitality.
NAD+
A coenzyme central to energy production and cellular repair that naturally declines with age. IV NAD+ is among the most sought-after therapies for cognitive sharpness, energy, and long-term cellular vitality.
Collagen Aminos (Proline + Lysine)
The direct building blocks of collagen, supporting skin firmness, elasticity, and a youthful complexion.
