Why people choose an IV over a pill

Nutrients taken by mouth have to get through your digestive system first, and some people absorb them poorly. An IV delivers fluids, vitamins and minerals straight into your bloodstream. Clients tell us they book drips to rehydrate after travel, to support their energy during a demanding stretch, or as part of a detox program.

We describe IV therapy as support for your wellbeing. It does not replace a balanced diet, sleep or the care of your own doctor, and results vary.

About the Myers’ cocktail

The Myers’ cocktail is named after the late Dr. John Myers, a Baltimore physician who gave vitamin and mineral infusions to his patients. Today the name describes a family of drips built on magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Ours is adjusted to the person receiving it.

About NAD+

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) helps your cells turn food into energy, and the body’s own levels fall with age. That is why NAD+ has become popular in longevity care. Infusions are given slowly to stay comfortable, so they take longer than a standard drip. The research is promising but still young, and we will talk you through what is and is not known before you decide.

What to expect at your appointment

  1. We go through your health history, medications and goals, and check your vital signs.
  2. You settle into a reclining chair and a small IV line is placed in your arm.
  3. The drip runs while you rest, read or talk with us. We check on you throughout.
  4. When it finishes, the line comes out and you can go back to your day.

Eat something light beforehand and drink water on the day of your visit. Tell us if you have ever felt faint during a blood draw.

Who should check with their doctor first

IV therapy is not right for everyone. Please tell us if you have kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure that is not under control, a blood disorder such as G6PD deficiency, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We may ask you to check with your own physician before booking.

Questions people ask

Where can I get IV therapy on Martha's Vineyard?

At Vineyard Longevity Center, 209 Franklin Street, Vineyard Haven. Drips are by appointment, Monday to Saturday. Call (508) 693-0001 to book.

How long does an IV drip take?

A Myers' cocktail takes about 45 minutes. Our immunity infusion takes 60 to 90 minutes. NAD+ infusions are given more slowly, so we confirm the time with you when you book.

What is NAD+ IV therapy?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell that your body uses to turn food into energy. NAD+ therapy delivers it by IV infusion or injection. People use it to support energy and focus as they age; research on its long-term benefits is still developing.

Is IV vitamin therapy safe?

For most healthy adults, yes, when it is given after a proper health review. It may not suit you if you have kidney or heart disease, are pregnant, or have certain blood disorders, so we ask about your history and medications before your first drip.

How often should I get an IV drip?

It depends on why you are coming in. Some clients book a single drip after travel or a demanding week, others come in on a regular schedule. We will suggest a frequency that fits your plan rather than a fixed package.
