Boosts Energy Levels: The infusion can help combat fatigue and boost energy, making it popular among individuals with chronic fatigue or those recovering from illness.
Supports Immune Function: The high doses of Vitamin C and other nutrients may enhance immune function, helping the body fight infections.
Improves Mood: Some patients report improved mood and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression, likely due to the effects of B vitamins and magnesium.
Hydration: IV therapy provides immediate hydration, which can be beneficial for those who are dehydrated or have difficulty drinking enough fluids.
