IV Therapy vs. Injections
At Sierra IV Hydration, we offer both IV Therapy and intramuscular (IM) Injections to support hydration, immunity, energy, performance, and overall wellness. While we also offer vitamin and wellness injections, these are designed to complement your IV therapy session, not replace it. Here’s why IV Therapy remains the foundation of what we do and how targeted injections can enhance your results. Each method has unique advantages, and understanding the differences can help you decide what aligns best with your needs.
What Are They?
IV Therapy
This is the process of infusing fluids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream through a small catheter in a vein. Because it bypasses the digestive tract, IV therapy avoids losses that happen with oral supplements like digestion and absorption issues.
Injections (Intramuscular, sometimes Subcutaneous)
Injections deliver a concentrated dose of one or a few nutrients directly into the muscle or under the skin, where a rich blood supply allows the substance to be absorbed into your bloodstream more quickly than many oral supplements. At Sierra IV Hydration, we love pairing injections with IV therapies, tailoring treatments to your body!
What’s the Difference Between IV Therapy and Injections?
IV THERAPY
-
Fluids and nutrients are infused directly into your bloodstream via a vein.
-
Hydration, nutrient delivery, and detox support overall wellness.
-
Can deliver larger fluid volumes and combinations of nutrients in one session.
-
Immediate, full-body absorption; effects can last for days.
INJECTIONS
-
A quick injection into a muscle (intramuscular) or under the skin (subcutaneous).
-
Targeted enhancement for energy, immunity, metabolism, or recovery.
-
Typically a small, concentrated dose of one nutrient.
-
Absorbed more slowly than IV; ideal for adding a boost to an IV therapy.
