Backed by Science, Trusted by Athletes
Whether you're hitting the gym, the trail, or the field, pushing your body to its limits requires proper recovery to come back stronger. IV therapy is quickly becoming a go-to recovery solution for athletes who want to reduce soreness, rehydrate faster, and boost muscle repair — all with the help of targeted nutrients, delivered straight into the bloodstream.
What Is IV Recovery Therapy?
IV (intravenous) recovery therapy bypasses the digestive system, providing 100% absorption of nutrients needed for energy, hydration, muscle repair, and immune support. It’s ideal for athletes dealing with:
-
Post-workout fatigue
-
Dehydration
-
Muscle soreness
-
Inflammation
-
Nutrient depletion
Evidence-Based Ingredients & Research
Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included in a Performance or Recovery IV — and the science behind it:
Magnesium
Magnesium helps reduce cramping, supports ATP production, and promotes neuromuscular recovery.
Study: Magnesium and exercise (Nutrients, 2018) – Athletes with low magnesium had increased oxygen consumption and heart rate during exercise, suggesting reduced efficiency.
Link
Vitamin C
Acts as an antioxidant, supports collagen synthesis, and helps reduce inflammation post-exercise.
Study: Vitamin C supplementation and physical activity (Sports Medicine, 2006) – Found to reduce oxidative stress and muscle damage post-exercise.
Link
B-Complex Vitamins
These vitamins support energy metabolism and reduce fatigue.
Study: Effect of B-complex vitamins on physical performance (Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2006) – Found that deficiencies can impair performance and recovery.
Link
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
Support protein synthesis and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Study: BCAA supplementation and exercise-induced muscle damage (Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 2010) – Showed BCAAs decrease markers of muscle damage and soreness.
Link
Glutathione (Optional Add-On)
A powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress and may accelerate recovery.
Study: Glutathione supplementation and exercise recovery (Frontiers in Physiology, 2020) – Demonstrated improvements in markers of inflammation and oxidative damage in athletes.
