Coming in for an IV vitamin drip? Here is a list of the top things you can do before your next IV to help make it a breeze.

The Basics. Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is more than just a hangover fad. While it may have garnered recent media attention for its ability to temper the effects of a late night, it has actually been used to help many conditions for over 50 years!  IV therapy is a method of administering nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids) directly into the blood stream.
