Unlocking the Power of IV Therapy with Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness
July 28, 2025
In today’s fast-paced world, stress, dehydration, and nutrient deficiencies can leave us feeling fatigued, foggy, or run-down. At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, we believe in proactive, restorative care—and IV therapy is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your body at the cellular level.
What Is IV Therapy and How Does It Work?
Intravenous (IV) therapy is the direct delivery of fluids, electrolytes, and essential nutrients into your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system (losing potency in the process), IV therapy bypasses this route, offering immediate, 100% bioavailability.
On a physical level, IV hydration replenishes fluid loss and balances essential electrolytes, which are crucial for muscle function, nerve signaling, and overall homeostasis.
On a cellular level, the nutrients delivered through IV therapy support:
- Mitochondrial energy production
- DNA repair and cellular regeneration
- Antioxidant defense mechanisms
- Neurotransmitter balance
This means you’re not just feeling better—you’re functioning better from the inside out.
The Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness Experience
At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, your comfort, safety, and health outcomes are our top priorities. That’s why we bring the IV therapy experience directly to your home, office, or event—on your terms, on your schedule.
Here’s what to expect:
- Medical Intake – We start with a thorough medical history, reviewed by a licensed provider to ensure IV therapy is safe and personalized for you.
- On-Site Assessment – When your Registered Nurse arrives, they’ll take your vital signs and assess your current health status.
- IV Access – Using a very small, sterile catheter, your nurse will gently obtain IV access in your arm or hand.
- Therapy + Monitoring – Your nurse will remain with you throughout the session, monitoring your comfort and response.
- Wrap-Up – Once your IV drip is complete, the nurse will remove the catheter and ensure you’re feeling great before leaving.
We take pride in providing a
professional, relaxing, and restorative experience for every client.

The Vital Role of Electrolytes in IV Therapy
Electrolytes are minerals that carry electric charge in your body fluids. They’re essential for hydration, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
Key Electrolytes in Our IV Formulas:
- Sodium – Regulates fluid balance and blood pressure. Essential for brain and nerve function.
- Potassium – Supports proper heart rhythm, muscle function, and helps prevent fatigue.
- Magnesium
– Promotes relaxation, reduces muscle cramps, supports sleep and cardiovascular health.
These minerals work together to restore hydration, reduce inflammation, and optimize your body’s performance and recovery.
Nutrient Spotlight: What We Infuse and Why
IV therapy isn't just about fluids—it’s about targeted nutrients that work synergistically to support your health and vitality. Check out our full guide to IV nutrients and their benefits here »
- Vitamin C – A powerful antioxidant that supports immunity, collagen production, and tissue repair.
- Vitamin B12 – Boosts energy, supports nerve health, and improves red blood cell production.
- B-Complex – Helps convert food into energy, reduces stress, and supports mood.
- Magnesium – Supports sleep, muscle recovery, and overall relaxation.
- Glutathione – Known as the “master antioxidant,” it detoxifies the liver and protects cells from oxidative stress.
- Taurine – Enhances endurance, mental clarity, and cardiovascular health.
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – Crucial for energy metabolism, cognitive function, and cellular repair.
Medically Necessary IV Therapy vs. Wellness Hydration
Medically Necessary IV Therapy
This type of therapy is used in hospitals or clinics to treat acute or chronic health issues, including:
- Severe dehydration
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Nutrient malabsorption
- Post-surgical recovery
- Cancer-related fatigue or chemotherapy side effects
These treatments are prescribed and monitored by a medical provider as part of a patient’s clinical care plan.
Wellness IV Hydration
At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, our IV therapy is designed to enhance wellness and prevent depletion. It's ideal for those looking to:
- Boost energy
- Rehydrate after travel, illness, or exercise
- Improve mental clarity
- Reduce inflammation
- Support skin and cellular health
While not a substitute for medical treatment, wellness IVs are a safe, supplemental way to support your body under the guidance of trained medical professionals.
What the Medical and Functional Medicine Communities Say
Conventional Medical Perspective
In traditional medicine, IV therapy is widely accepted for acute medical care. However, the use of IV nutrients for general wellness is still debated, with some clinicians emphasizing the need for lab-based deficiency confirmation.
That said, more providers are beginning to recognize that modern lifestyles, poor diets, chronic stress, and environmental toxins often lead to suboptimal nutrient levels that can benefit from IV support.
Functional Medicine Perspective
Functional medicine practitioners emphasize prevention and whole-body optimization. IV therapy aligns perfectly with this approach because it:
- Bypasses gut absorption issues
- Delivers therapeutic doses of nutrients directly to cells
- Helps address chronic fatigue, inflammation, oxidative stress, and more
The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) notes that nutrient therapy—delivered via IV or IM injection—can be a
valuable tool in a personalized, systems-based approach to care.

βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Our family is beyond grateful for the care and compassion shown by Minnesota IV Hydration & Wellness during one of the most vulnerable times in our lives. As my loved one was transitioning to hospice care, the team—especially Nurse Katie—treated us with the utmost respect, gentleness, and dignity. We had started high-dose vitamin C infusions to help support comfort and energy levels, and the mobile service allowed us to stay in the peaceful environment of home. Nurse Katie was not only clinically knowledgeable, but emotionally attuned—always checking in with how we were doing, offering thoughtful education, and honoring our decisions every step of the way. Even when we shifted to a comfort-focused plan, there was never pressure—just support, understanding, and respect for our journey. I can’t express how much it meant to have healthcare providers who truly care. Minnesota IV Hydration was a light during a very difficult chapter. — Family Member of Client, Plymouth, MN
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ “I’ve struggled with migraines for years and usually end up in the ER for a ‘rescue cocktail’ of Toradol, Benadryl, and Zofran—which means hours of waiting, bright lights, and stress that only makes the pain worse. This time, I tried a mobile drip from Minnesota IV Hydration & Wellness . The nurse came right to my home, dimmed the lights, spoke quietly, and administered the same medications— plus magnesium , which I’d never tried before. Within 30 minutes, the nausea was gone, the pounding eased, and I could actually rest. No eight-hour ER ordeal. No fluorescent lights. Just fast, compassionate care where I needed it most. I will never set foot in an ER for a migraine again.” — Ashley M., Andover, MN

Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness: A Personal Mission to Support the Lyme Community At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, our passion for supporting the Lyme disease community comes from a deeply personal place. Co-founder Rachel has witnessed firsthand the profound toll Lyme disease can take—not just on individuals, but on their families as well. For over a decade, her husband has struggled with debilitating symptoms that disrupted his ability to work, enjoy his hobbies, and engage meaningfully with loved ones. But through IV hydration and nutrient infusions, Rachel has seen a transformation: "Lyme disease is often a debilitating and isolating condition with profound effects on both those suffering and the loved ones around them," says Rachel. "We aim to provide a reduction in symptoms, allowing for respite from ongoing pain. While this is not a cure, it has been a valuable tool in helping my husband regain a sense of normalcy—allowing him to resume some of his favorite activities and simply enjoy his days with less struggle." One of the biggest challenges Lyme patients face is the Herxheimer reaction —a worsening of symptoms due to bacterial die-off and toxin release. These reactions can be overwhelming, causing intense fatigue, joint pain, and flu-like discomfort. IV therapy, enriched with key nutrients like Vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium, zinc, and glutathione, has played a crucial role in reducing inflammation, supporting detoxification, and easing the severity of Herxheimer reactions. ο»Ώ Driven by compassion and firsthand experience , Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness is committed to offering safe, effective IV hydration and nutrient therapy to help those battling Lyme find relief, regain energy, and enjoy life with fewer limitations.

Supporting Recovery & Reducing Nerve Pain at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ I had my first NAD+ mobile infusion with Minnesota IV Hydration, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The nurse was incredibly knowledgeable and provided thorough patient education before we started—explaining not just the physical sensations I might feel, but also the emotional shifts that can come with NAD+. She clearly had personal experience with NAD herself, which made a huge difference. Her insight, empathy, and calm approach made me feel totally supported throughout the entire infusion. I felt energized, clear-headed, and deeply reset after. This is next-level wellness care, and having it brought right to my home was a total game-changer. Highly recommend! — Verified Mobile Client, Twin Cities Metro NAD+ IV Infusions and Subcutaneous Protocols: Unlocking the Power of Cellular Energy at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness In the world of regenerative medicine and anti-aging therapies, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) has emerged as a game-changer. This essential coenzyme plays a crucial role in cellular function, energy production, and overall health. However, as we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, and metabolic imbalances. At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness , we offer NAD+ IV infusions and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) protocols to help replenish NAD+ levels, promoting optimal health, energy, and longevity. What is NAD+? NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and biological regulation. However, aging, stress, and environmental toxins deplete NAD+ levels, leading to reduced cellular efficiency and accelerated aging ( Yoshino, et al., 2018 ). Benefits of NAD+ IV Infusions and Sub-Q Protocols Both NAD+ IV therapy and subcutaneous injections deliver high doses of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream or tissue, ensuring maximum absorption and efficacy. The benefits include: Enhanced Energy Production NAD+ is essential for ATP production, the body’s primary energy source. Replenishing NAD+ levels combats fatigue and boosts endurance ( Grant, et al., 2019 ). Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity NAD+ supports brain health by promoting neuroplasticity, reducing brain fog, and improving focus and memory. Research suggests it may also help prevent neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease ( Huang & Sinclair, 2021 ). Anti-Aging and Longevity NAD+ activates sirtuins—proteins linked to longevity, cellular repair, and reduced inflammation. It also aids in DNA repair, slowing down the aging process ( Imai & Guarente, 2016 ). Detoxification and Addiction Recovery NAD+ IV therapy has been used to help individuals recovering from substance use by reducing withdrawal symptoms and restoring brain chemistry. It also assists in detoxification by supporting liver function ( Miller, et al., 2020 ). Muscle Recovery and Performance Athletes benefit from NAD+ therapy due to its role in reducing muscle fatigue, enhancing recovery, and improving physical performance ( Zhang, et al., 2022 ). Metabolic and Weight Management Support NAD+ enhances metabolic function, supports insulin sensitivity, and promotes healthy weight management ( Rajman, et al., 2018 ). Immune System and Cellular Repair By enhancing cellular resilience, NAD+ helps boost the immune system and supports overall wellness ( Verdin, 2015 ). Who Can Benefit from NAD+ Therapy? NAD+ IV infusions and subcutaneous injections are beneficial for: Individuals experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy levels Those looking to improve cognitive function and mental clarity People seeking anti-aging and longevity support Athletes aiming for better recovery and endurance Individuals recovering from substance use or detox programs Those dealing with metabolic conditions or weight management issues Anyone exposed to high levels of stress or environmental toxins NAD+ IV Infusion vs. Subcutaneous Protocols IV Infusion: Delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for rapid absorption Typically administered over 1-4 hours in a clinical setting Ideal for those needing immediate and higher-dose NAD+ replenishment Subcutaneous Injection (Sub-Q Protocols): Allows for slow and steady absorption of NAD+ Can be self-administered at home with proper guidance Ideal for ongoing maintenance and lower, sustained dosing Expected Outcomes After receiving NAD+ therapy at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness , most individuals report: -Increased energy levels and reduced fatigue -Improved mental clarity, focus, and memory -Enhanced mood and reduced stress -Better sleep quality -Faster recovery from workouts or illness -Overall sense of well-being and vitality Experience the Benefits of NAD+ Therapy at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness If you’re looking to optimize your health, combat fatigue, or enhance longevity, NAD+ therapy could be the missing piece of your wellness puzzle.
