This is a treatment that directly supplies essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—which are difficult to obtain through diet alone—into the body via the veins. Because it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, it has a very high absorption rate and provides immediate assistance in improving chronic fatigue and restoring immunity.

Rarely, nausea, headache, or pain at the injection site may occur depending on individual constitution or condition on the day of administration. However, side effects can be safely prevented if prescribed with ingredients and infusion rates tailored to you through a thorough pre-treatment consultation with an internal medicine specialist.

Yes, because nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream, they raise blood concentrations more quickly and significantly than oral supplements, allowing for immediate noticeable effects. The recovery effect is superior with customized IV fluids formulated to match the patient's current deficiency and symptoms.

Fasting is not required for standard nutritional IV fluids; in fact, a light meal is recommended as consuming high concentrations of nutrients on an empty stomach can cause nausea. However, if the IV fluid is administered in conjunction with detailed examinations such as a gastroscopy or abdominal ultrasound, you must observe the prescribed fasting time.

Standard basic intravenous fluids are injections centered on physiological saline or glucose, intended to prevent dehydration and provide fluids. In contrast, vitamin injections are customized treatments that combine these basic fluids with essential therapeutic nutrients, such as high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Depending on the patient's health condition and goals, intensive treatment at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks is recommended during periods of extreme fatigue or weakened immunity. Once your condition recovers, it is advisable to adjust the frequency to 1 to 2 times a month for the purpose of maintaining your health.

Depending on the type and volume of the fluid administered, it generally takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. If the blood vessels are weak or the fluid contains high concentrations, it may take a little longer as the infusion rate is slowed down to prevent vascular pain and ensure safe absorption.

There are customized IV fluids containing ingredients such as L-carnitine or arginine that increase basal metabolic rate and help break down body fat, but rather than as a standalone treatment, they produce a powerful synergistic effect for dieting when combined with professional obesity treatments (such as Maunzaro and Wigobi) and exercise.

Water-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C and B vitamins, are absorbed in sufficient quantities by the body, and only the excess is excreted in the urine, which may cause the color to turn yellow. This does not mean the vitamins are ineffective; rather, they have already completed the necessary functions for cell repair.

If you are scheduled for surgery, you should avoid certain ingredients (such as high-concentration vitamin E and ginkgo leaf extract) that may affect the anesthesia or hemostasis process. Therefore, when receiving intravenous fluid therapy before surgery, you must inform your attending physician of your surgery schedule in advance and receive a prescription consisting mainly of safe ingredients.

In principle, fluid therapy is restricted for patients with severe heart or renal failure, as a sudden increase in body fluids can place a serious strain on the heart and lungs. Additionally, patients with a history of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to specific injectable ingredients must inform us before receiving a prescription.

Yes, patients with chronic kidney disease and impaired kidney function have a reduced ability to excrete fluids and electrolytes (such as potassium), so receiving intravenous fluids can lead to dangerous complications such as generalized edema or pulmonary edema. Indiscriminate administration of fluids must be avoided, and decisions must be made strictly under the diagnosis of an internal medicine specialist.

Nutritional IV therapy is a legitimate medical procedure. All nutritional IV treatments at Mint Hospital are administered following a medical consultation and prescription by an internal medicine physician. We prescribe the most suitable solution for each individual after verifying their current health status, medications, and allergies.

When you suffer from a severe hangover or stomach discomfort after excessive drinking, receiving IV fluids that rapidly break down alcohol and support detoxification can significantly speed up your recovery. This is particularly effective for maintaining consistent liver health, especially for those in professions that involve frequent drinking.
