How IVs Impact Longevity & Biological Age
Regular and ongoing IV Therapy, even just once/month, can have positive results for your longevity. Here’s how IVs impact longevity:
-
IV therapy delivers nutrients to your body through your bloodstream vs. your digestive system. This way of getting nutrients into your body makes them more "bioavailable" - easier for your body to use efficiently.
-
Elivate IV includes ingredients like Lysine and vitamin C, they help your body fend off illnesses and infections more effectively. Regular IV Therapy supports your immune system, helping you to maintain health and contributing to longevity.
-
Maintaining an active lifestyle has been proven to have the most impact on longevity.
Fatigue and low energy are common issues that affect your ability to stay active.
IV Therapy supports cellular energy production to help you maintain higher energy and ensure nothing limits your activity and adventure.
-
IV Therapy can help relieve conditions that are taxing on your body, including stressors like auto-immune conditions, surgeries, or chemotherapy.
By addressing specific health needs when they occur, IV therapy can help you feel and function at your best consistently.
-
Cellular health is crucial for longevity.
Longevity science has uncovered and continues to learn about the negative impact of damaged or senescent cells on your lifespan.
IV therapy, including antioxidants like glutathione, reduces oxidative stress, supports detoxification, and aids in cellular repair.
-
Hydration is more complex than just water - your body needs both enough water and enough electrolytes to power numerous bodily functions, as well as to maintain cellular health. 75% of us are chronically dehydrated, and regular IV Therapy is the best tool to maintain optimal hydration.
Biological vs. Chronological Age
The ability to improve our "biological age" can be a powerful catalyst for people to more actively manage and improve their own healthspan and longevity.
Biological age refers to the physiological state of our bodies, which can differ from our chronological age. Chronological age simply measures the passage of time, while biological age reflects the condition of our bodies' cells and systems.
Biological age is influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposures. As these factors deteriorate, biological age can accelerate, leading to age-related diseases and decreased vitality.
We can impact our biological age by understanding, tracking, and improving the key measures of biological age including cellular health, oxidative stress, inflammation levels, and overall metabolic function.
Biological age can offer a more accurate gauge of overall health and vitality.
Regular and ongoing IV Therapy is one tool to help you potentially decrease your biological age.
While the concept of decreasing biological age through IV therapy is still emerging, several studies provide insights into how these therapies can impact aging markers:
Antioxidants and Aging: Research indicates that antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione, when administered through IV, can reduce oxidative damage and support cellular health. Studies show that reducing oxidative stress can slow aging processes and improve overall well-being.
Hydration and Cognitive Function: Proper hydration is linked to better cognitive function and physical health. IV hydration can effectively address chronic dehydration, which is associated with aging and decreased cognitive performance.
Immune System and Aging: Research highlights that optimizing immune function through nutrient support can help manage inflammation and reduce the risk of age-related diseases. IV therapy’s ability to deliver immune-supporting nutrients directly can enhance these benefits.
More about how IV Therapy can impact your biological age:
-
Mechanism: IV therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, ensuring high absorption rates and immediate availability to cells.
Impact: This enhanced nutrient delivery can support cellular health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation—two critical factors in aging. For example, high-dose vitamin C, delivered through IV therapy, acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells from damage. This protection can help maintain cellular function and slow the aging process.
-
Mechanism: IV infusions often include antioxidants such as glutathione, which play a crucial role in detoxification and reducing oxidative stress.
Impact: By aiding in the removal of toxins and neutralizing harmful free radicals, IV therapy can help mitigate cellular damage and inflammation. Lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation are associated with a slower biological aging process and a lower risk of age-related diseases.
-
Mechanism: IV therapy provides direct and effective hydration, along with essential electrolytes and nutrients.
Impact: Proper hydration is vital for maintaining cellular function and metabolic processes. Adequate hydration supports optimal cellular performance, nutrient transport, and waste removal. Improved metabolic function can enhance overall health, contributing to a more youthful biological profile.
-
Mechanism: Certain IV therapies include nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids that support mitochondrial function.
Impact: Mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, play a significant role in maintaining cellular health and vitality. By supporting mitochondrial function, IV therapy can help improve energy production and reduce fatigue. Healthy mitochondria are linked to better cellular function and a slower aging process.
-
Mechanism: IV therapy can provide high doses of immune-supporting nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and amino acids.
Impact: A well-functioning immune system is crucial for preventing infections and managing inflammation. By enhancing immune function, IV therapy can help protect against illnesses and support overall health, which is important for maintaining a youthful biological age.

How “Supplement Synergy” contributes to ongoing wellness
Supplement Synergy = combining IVs and oral supplements
IV therapy delivers an immediate impact and lasts for about a week. The benefits from each IV can be sustained and amplified through the careful integration of oral dietary supplements.
Here’s how supplements can be used in combination to extend the benefits of IV therapy:
-
IV Therapy Benefits: IV therapy rapidly provides essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals directly to the bloodstream.
Supplemental Support: Supplements can help maintain optimal nutrient levels between IV sessions. For instance, oral vitamin D supplements can complement an IV infusion of vitamin D by supporting bone health and immune function long-term. Magnesium supplements can also help sustain the benefits of IV magnesium, which is crucial for muscle function and energy production.
-
IV Therapy Benefits: IV vitamin C and zinc infusions can provide a significant boost to the immune system, helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
Supplemental Support: To extend this immune support, daily supplements of vitamin C, zinc, and other immune-boosting nutrients can help maintain elevated immune function between IV sessions. Probiotics can also support gut health, which plays a vital role in overall immune system effectiveness.
-
IV Therapy Benefits: IV hydration and nutrient infusions, such as B vitamins and amino acids, can provide an immediate energy boost and combat fatigue.
Supplemental Support: To sustain energy levels, daily supplements of B vitamins, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha can help maintain energy and reduce stress. These supplements support cellular energy production and overall vitality, complementing the short-term benefits of IV therapy.
-
IV Therapy Benefits: IV infusions with antioxidants like glutathione can help neutralize free radicals and support detoxification processes.
Supplemental Support: To continue supporting detoxification, supplements such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and alpha-lipoic acid can be used. These supplements further aid in reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular health, extending the benefits of the initial IV therapy session.
-
IV Therapy Benefits: IV fluids effectively rehydrate the body and balance electrolytes.
