Intravenous (IV) therapy is a method to quickly administer fluids, vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. IV hydration is effective because the process bypasses the GI tract, delivering vitamins & nutrients to all major organs with a 100% absorption rate. By going directly into the bloodstream, your body can absorb 100% of the vitamins; taken orally vitamins experience about 20% hydration due to the digestive tract. At D.O.P.E.
