The Hydration IV is one liter of saline or lactated Ringer’s with electrolytes, given through a small IV in your arm. It costs $199, and travel inside our Los Angeles service area is included. A registered nurse comes to your home, hotel or office, and the drip itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A licensed provider clears you by video before your first visit.

What’s in the Hydration drip

Your provider sets the final formula for you. A typical Hydration bag includes:

Normal saline or lactated Ringer’s

This is the sterile fluid that makes up the liter, and the provider picks the one that fits your health form.

Sodium and chloride

These are the main electrolytes in the bag, and they help your body hold on to the water you take in.

Potassium and calcium

Lactated Ringer’s carries small amounts of these minerals, which you also lose when you sweat.

Optional add-ons

Vitamin C, B12, zinc or magnesium can be added for $35 each if the provider approves, and the provider sets the final formula.

When people book it

What happens during a hydration visit

You book online and fill out a short health form. Before your first drip, a licensed provider (an MD, NP or PA) looks at the form and talks with you on a short video call. If the drip is a good fit, the provider writes the order. Your bag is then prepared and labeled with your name by a licensed pharmacy. Nothing is mixed in your kitchen or living room.

When the nurse arrives, they check your blood pressure, pulse and how you feel. Then they place a small IV, usually in your arm or hand, and start the fluids. You can sit on the couch, answer email or watch a show. The nurse stays with you the whole time and watches how you are doing. When the bag is empty, the IV comes out and you get a small bandage.

IV fluids vs. drinking water or electrolyte drinks

For most healthy people, drinking water or an electrolyte drink is enough, and it is the right first step. Fluids you drink have to pass through your stomach and gut before they reach your blood. That takes time, and it is harder when you feel queasy or just cannot get much down.

IV fluids skip that step. The liter goes straight into your bloodstream, so none of it is lost along the way and you do not have to drink anything. That is why many clients book this drip after heat, travel, long work days or hard training. It is a comfort and wellness service. It does not replace medical care for serious dehydration.

Who the Hydration IV is for, and who should skip it

This drip suits adults who feel run down and dry and want a simple way to rehydrate. It has no vitamins or medicine unless you add them, so it is a gentle choice for a first visit. Many clients start here and then try a vitamin drip the next time.

A liter of fluid is not safe for everyone. Tell the provider if you have heart failure, kidney disease or very high blood pressure, because extra fluid can put a strain on the body. If you are pregnant, we need clearance from your OB first. The provider may adjust the order or decline it. For fainting, confusion or chest pain, call 911 and do not wait for a nurse.

FAQ

Hydration IV questions

Ask us anything
Is an IV better than drinking water or an electrolyte drink?

Not for everyone. If you can drink normally, water and electrolyte drinks work well. An IV puts a full liter straight into your bloodstream without using your stomach, which many people like when they feel queasy, drained or short on time. It is a wellness choice, not a medical need for most people.

How long does a hydration IV take?

Plan on about an hour from the knock on the door to the bandage. The nurse needs a few minutes to check your vitals and place the IV. The liter itself usually runs in 30 to 45 minutes. If your veins are small or you want a slower rate, it can take a little longer.

Saline or lactated Ringer’s: which one will I get?

The provider decides based on your health form. Normal saline is salt water matched to your blood. Lactated Ringer’s also has small amounts of potassium, calcium and lactate. Both are standard sterile fluids used in hospitals every day. If you have a preference, mention it on your video call.

Who should not get a hydration IV?

People with heart failure, kidney disease or very high blood pressure may not be able to handle an extra liter of fluid. Pregnant clients need clearance from their OB. Be honest on your health form. The provider screens every new client and may change the amount, slow the rate or say no.

Can I add vitamins to the hydration drip?

Yes, if the provider approves. Vitamin C, B12, zinc and magnesium are $35 each, and glutathione is $45. You can also add a second liter of fluid for $45. If you already know you want several vitamins, the Myers’ Cocktail at $279 may cost less than adding them one by one.
