IV Hydration & Vitamin Treatments  Alexandria VA

IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for 100% absorption.

Each treatment includes IV hydration plus customized vitamin blends tailored to your specific wellness goals.

When administered by qualified healthcare providers using sterile techniques and medical-grade nutrients, IV therapy is very safe.

Treatment frequency depends on your specific health goals and needs. For general wellness and energy maintenance, monthly treatments are typical. For chronic fatigue, immune support, or athletic recovery, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be recommended initially. For acute issues like migraines or illness recovery, single treatments may be sufficient. We create personalized treatment schedules during your initial consultation based on your health status and objectives.

Certain IV protocols combine hydration, magnesium, B‑vitamins, and sometimes anti‑nausea or anti‑inflammatory medications (when ordered by a provider) to support migraine relief. Many patients report that IV therapy helps decrease headache intensity and improves light and sound sensitivity. When should I avoid IV migraine therapy and seek urgent care? If a headache is sudden and “worst of my life,” associated with neurologic symptoms (weakness, slurred speech, confusion, vision loss), fever, or head trauma, you should seek emergency evaluation rather than a wellness IV.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced naturally in the cells of the body; IV or injection therapy delivers it directly into the bloodstream or muscle. Benefits include enhanced detoxification support, reduced oxidative stress, improved skin appearance, liver health support, cellular detox support, immune health, and anti-aging effects. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals, supports immune function, and helps maintain cellular health throughout the body. How does glutathione support beauty and skin health? Because glutathione helps neutralize oxidative stress, it is often used to support brighter‑looking skin, even tone, and overall antioxidant protection when paired with sun protection and good skin care.

NAD+ IV therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide directly into your bloodstream to support cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. It is often used in wellness settings to help with fatigue, brain fog, healthy aging support, and overall recovery. NAD+ therapy at Z&Z Wellness offers numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. This vital coenzyme plays a key role in energy production, cellular repair, and overall well-being. Our NAD+ therapy can enhance mood, improve cognitive function, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and boost energy levels. It also aids in detoxification and DNA repair, promoting overall cellular health. When combined with our ketamine treatments, NAD+ therapy amplifies the therapeutic effects, helping you achieve optimal health and wellness. How can NAD+ therapy support energy, brain function, and aging? NAD+ is required for turning food into ATP, so higher levels are associated with better energy metabolism and stamina. It also supports mitochondrial and neuronal health, which may help with mental clarity and age‑related cellular stress.
