IV Therapies
IV Therapy | Vascular Neurology of Southern California
Even the best of diets can unfortunately be deficient in necessary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Many people rely on vitamins and supplements to fight the effects of illnesses, stress, and fatigue, but often absorption of these nutrients is limited due to the digestive system. IV therapies quickly deliver vitamins and essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream where they are absorbed and utilized by the body more easily, allowing you to feel better and function at your fullest potential.
Our experts at Vascular Neurology of Southern California have crafted several combinations of micronutrients and vitamins that can help boost your memory, energy, skin, health, immune system, and process. With no downtime and minimal discomfort, IV therapies are customizable to address essential nutrient deficiencies to improve your overall health and wellness.

What Is IV Therapy?
Consuming vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients orally requires the body to metabolize them through your liver and digestive system before delivering them where your body actually needs them. Receiving the full benefit of vitamins depends greatly on your body’s unique absorption ability as well as the quality and age of your supplements. While liquid extracts are a more ideal solution, there are still risks of inefficient absorption through the digestive system.
In contrast, IV therapy aims to supply complex blends of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream via intravenous delivery. As this method avoids the digestive system, you absorb these nutrients faster and more effectively, allowing your body to send it where you need it the most.
IV therapies are generally safe and painless. Most patients report no discomfort following the insertion of the IV. Often, patients find infusions relaxing.
What Are the Benefits to Your Body After Receiving IV Therapy?
Following your IV therapy with the correct formula of essential nutrients your body needs, you should begin feeling its effects within minutes. Your body will feel hydrated, refreshed, and invigorated. Depending on your health, lifestyle, and goals, our specialists may recommend a series of IV therapies to continue improving your overall health and wellness.
Am I a Good Candidate for IV Therapy?
With a variety of formulas to address many concerns, nearly anyone can experience the benefits of IV therapy. Good candidates for IV therapy include patients who want to improve their energy and overall health and wellness by increasing their levels of essential vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants.
IV therapy may not be suitable for patients experiencing health concerns like heart, liver, or kidney conditions. During your consultation, it’s important to disclose medical conditions, medications, supplements, and previous reactions to IV therapy to avoid potential side effects.
Are There Any Side Effects of IV Therapy?
It’s highly unlikely for IV therapy to cause side effects; however, it’s essential to receive IV therapy from a trained professional who will recommend the appropriate formula to suit your needs and monitor you throughout the infusion. Side effects are typically mild and resolved quickly without intervention.
Mild side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Minor headache
- Injection site infection
- Bruising and inflammation
- Rashes
- Embolism
- Blood clot
What Types of IV Therapies Are Available?
To help you feel your best, we offer a variety of IV therapies to combat a range of issues. Each treatment can be customized to treat your specific needs to allow you to feel and perform at your best. Our formulas are created to help restore hydration, electrolytes, and help boost your body’s ability to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.

Consisting of B-complex vitamins, B12, vitamin C, and magnesium, the Myers cocktail is the original treatment that began the IV therapy trend. From migraines to menstrual cramps, the Myers cocktail can help improve body functions, enhance energy, and combat age-related cellular degradation, improve immune function, restore better sleep, improve memory, provider higher energy levels, enhance mood, and better bone health.
With a world full of viruses and bacteria just waiting to attack, your immune system is your body’s first line of defense; however, it occasionally needs your extra support. High doses of vitamin C, antioxidants, and hydration help this formula to keep your immune system robust and able to fight off infections.
Migraines are not typical headaches. They can make your job or daily responsibilities hard to manage. With a carefully selected combination of magnesium, calcium, and B-complex vitamins, our Migraine IV takes effect quickly, easing your symptoms and preventing them from returning. Optional anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications can be added for extra relief.
NAD+ IV therapy uses a naturally produced coenzyme called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide that’s present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in cell health, mitochondrial function, and energy production. As the body ages, it stops producing enough NAD+ to operate at peak form. When NAD+ levels decrease, the aging process accelerates, mental processing slows, and general health declines.
Our NAD+ infusion improves energy levels, speeds up metabolic function, enhances neurological function, restores muscle strength, rehabilitates mental clarity, and improves anxiety and depression symptoms.
Brain fog and concentration problems can affect every facet of your life. Our Memory Boost IV therapy consists of our NAD+ infusion, B complex vitamins, CoQ10, and folic acid to support better brain function for sharper focus.
The demands of everyday life can deplete your body of nutrients. Energy IV therapy replenishes essential vitamins, providing your body with the vitality it needs. This formula consists of electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants to combat fatigue and enhance mental clarity and overall performance.
What to Expect from IV Infusion Therapy
We provide our IV treatments in a calm, comfortable, and welcoming office, so you can enjoy high-end medical care in a relaxed environment.
Your IV therapy will begin with a thorough consultation with quintuple board-certified Dr. Taqi to help you determine which cocktail will best suit your needs.
After inviting you to relax in a comfortable chair, one of our specialists will insert an IV needle into your vein, typically in the elbow or top of the hand. Generally, an infusion lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
Our attentive staff will care for you, keeping you comfortable and calm throughout your infusion.
Following your IV therapy, the needle will be removed, and a bandage will be applied to create pressure to prevent bruising and bleeding. There is no downtime associated with IV therapies.
Your IV Therapy Results
Most patients feel the positive effects of the IV infusion right away. You’ll feel refreshed, energized, and hydrated as the essential nutrients and antioxidants are delivered directly to your bloodstream. With IV therapy, your body can absorb the elements it needs more quickly and efficiently than by consuming oral vitamins. By providing the vitamins and minerals that were missing from your diet, IV therapy typically continues providing health benefits for up to a week.
