IV Therapy
Most people who come to Avara Medical for IV therapy are not searching for a specific IV drip. They are dealing with symptoms such as, low energy, a compromised immune system, a slow recovery, or a symptom they cannot seem to shake, and they want something that actually works. Here is where IV therapy may help.
Energy and Fatigue
- Persistent low energy that sleep alone does not fix is one of the most common reasons patients seek IV therapy. Direct nutrient delivery may support cellular energy production and help address deficiencies that contribute to ongoing fatigue.
Immune Support
- Whether you are fighting something off or trying to stay ahead of illness, targeted IV infusions may help strengthen your body's immune response with nutrients that are difficult to absorb in the amounts needed through diet alone.
Recovery
- From intense athletic training to post-surgical healing, IV therapy may support faster recovery by delivering hydration, amino acids, and nutrients directly where the body needs them most.
Hydration
- Dehydration affects energy, cognition, and physical performance in ways most people underestimate. IV hydration restores fluid balance rapidly and completely, without waiting for oral intake to absorb.
Migraine Relief
- For patients dealing with acute migraine, targeted IV infusions may provide faster relief than oral medications by delivering anti-inflammatory and supportive compounds directly into the bloodstream.
NAD+ and Cellular Health
- NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, cognitive function, and metabolic health. IV delivery allows for higher doses than oral supplementation and may support energy, mental clarity, and healthy aging.
Women's Wellness
- From postpartum recovery and breastfeeding support to PMS relief and fertility preparation, Avara Medical offers IV formulations designed specifically around the nutritional needs women face at different stages of life.
Skin, Hair, and Beauty
- Antioxidants like glutathione and biotin delivered intravenously may support skin clarity, hair health, and a reduction in oxidative stress that contributes to visible signs of aging.

What to Expect From Your IV Therapy Session
One of the most common things we hear from first-time patients is that the experience was easier and more comfortable than they expected. Here is what the process actually looks like.
Booking and Consultation
New patients start with a brief consultation to review your symptoms, health history, and goals. This is what separates a clinical IV experience from walking into a drip bar and picking something off a menu. Your provider recommends the right drip for your specific situation before anything begins.
Getting Started
You will be seated comfortably while a small IV line is placed in your arm. Most patients describe the initial placement as a mild pinch. Once the line is in, you will not feel much at all. Bring headphones, a book, or just relax.
During Your Session
Most IV drips take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the formulation. NAD+ infusions take longer, typically 1 to 6 hours depending on the dose, and are paced deliberately to maximize comfort and effectiveness.
After Your Session
There is no downtime and no recovery period. Most patients feel the effects of their infusion within hours. You can drive yourself home, return to work, and carry on with your day immediately after your session ends.

NAD+ Therapy
If you have been dealing with energy that never quite recovers, mental clarity that feels off, or a general sense that your body is not performing the way it used to, NAD+ IV therapy is one of the most common things patients come to us for, and one of the most consistently impactful.
Cellular energy production & reduced fatigue
Mental clarity, focus, & cognitive function
Metabolic health & healthy aging
Physical performance & recovery
Why IV Delivery
Oral NAD+ supplements are available but IV delivery allows for significantly higher doses to reach the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system entirely. For patients looking for meaningful results rather than maintenance support, IV is the clinical standard.
NAD+ Drip Options at Avara Medical
We offer four NAD+ infusion levels to match your goals and experience with the therapy. From an introductory 250mg dose for patients new to NAD+ to a 1000mg double dose for those seeking maximum cognitive and cellular support. Your provider will recommend the right starting point based on your health history and goals.
- Intro: 250mg, 1 to 2 hours
- Complete: 500mg, 2 to 4 hours
- Double Dose: 1000mg, 4 to 6 hours
Is NAD+ Right for You?
NAD+ IV therapy may be a good fit if you are dealing with persistent fatigue, brain fog, age-related changes in energy or cognition, or if you are looking to support long-term cellular health as part of a broader wellness plan. Your provider will discuss whether it is appropriate at your first visit.

When administered by a licensed medical provider in a clinical setting, IV therapy has a strong safety record. At Avara Medical, Rachel Gunderson, NP evaluates every patient before recommending a drip and is on site throughout every treatment.

This is why clinical evaluation before your drip matters.
