Question 1

What is IV therapy used for?

Accepted Answer

IV nutrient therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, which bypasses the absorption limits of the gut. Clinically it is used for correcting documented deficiencies, rehydration, antioxidant and detoxification pathway support, and cellular energy support with NAD+. It is a delivery route, not a cure, which is why we only use it when your assessment shows it is the right lever.

Question 2

How much does IV therapy cost in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Kure Health is a cash-pay practice, and because every bag is formulated from your own lab data rather than picked off a menu, we quote after your assessment instead of publishing a price list. Call (888) 949-5873 for current pricing on individual infusions and on infusions bundled into a physician-directed protocol.

Question 3

How often should you get IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what is being corrected. A documented deficiency may need a short series and then re-testing. Recovery and hydration infusions are episodic, used around travel, illness or heavy training. NAD+ is typically front-loaded over a few sessions and then spaced out. We set the cadence from your markers and shorten it or stop when the numbers move.

Question 4

Does IV therapy actually work, or is it just expensive urine?

Accepted Answer

Both can be true. If you are not deficient in what is in the bag, you will excrete most of it, which is the fair criticism of menu-driven drip bars. If a panel shows low B12, low magnesium or high oxidative stress, IV repletion reaches therapeutic levels that oral dosing cannot. The difference is whether anyone measured first.

Question 5

Is IV therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

In appropriately screened patients it is generally well tolerated, but it is not risk-free. Possible effects include vein irritation, bruising, flushing, headache and reactions to specific ingredients. Kidney disease, heart failure and G6PD deficiency change what can be safely infused. That is why screening and a medication review come before your first infusion.

Question 6

Do you need a blood test before IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

For a formulated infusion, yes. We work from your micronutrient and metabolic panel so the dose matches the deficiency. Straightforward hydration after travel or illness can be done on a shorter screening, but anything beyond fluids and electrolytes follows your data.

Question 7

How long does an IV therapy session take?

Accepted Answer

Most infusions run 30 to 60 minutes. Glutathione can be as short as 15 minutes, high-dose vitamin C runs 45 to 90, and NAD+ runs 90 minutes to 3 hours because it has to be infused slowly for comfort. Add time on your first visit for intake and the assessment review.

Question 8

Is IV therapy covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

IV nutrient therapy for wellness and optimization is generally not covered by commercial insurance. Kure Health operates cash-pay, and we will give you documentation you can submit to an HSA or FSA administrator where those plans allow it.
