MAGNESIUM + $40
You’ll get 2 bags of fluids (base price $85) plus magnesium. Magnesium can help replace nutrients lost in the kidney with dehydration. Magnesium relaxes smooth muscle in the intestines, which may reduce nausea. It may also help relax you, improving stress and sleep. Some studies show that magnesium can help lower blood pressure. This can be given twice a week.
B12 INJECTION + $30
Vitamin B12 can give you a boost of energy and can help with certain kinds of anemia. There is not much B12 in infuvite, so this is a good add on to an infuvite infusion.
INFUVITE (MULTI-VITAMIN) +$85
Given with 2 bags of fluids (base price $85). Commonly called a “banana bag.” Fully replaces your daily required amounts of necessary vitamins. This can be given twice a week. Patients often feel a boost of energy after this infusion. (Adds 1.5 hours to infusion time)
