FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Nutrient IV Therapies have been around for over 50 years and have been administered to millions of patients with minimal risks. At Holistique, we use only the highest grade of nutrients, vitamins, and products available, ensuring the efficacy of our products. Everything that we use is brand new and sterile. We custom make each IV daily, in our sterile room which follows FDA and US Pharmaceutical guidelines. All of our IV’s are created so that anyone with a normal heart, liver and kidney function can have one without a blood test. To ensure that you are a good candidate, our licensed medical professional will thoroughly review your health intake form with you before you receive an IV.
The effects of nutritional IV’s are not guaranteed and can take up to a few hours to actually notice. Later in the day, you might experience a frequency in urination. You might feel very tired and relaxed at bedtime. Over the course of the next few days, depending on the IV Nutrient you select, one might feel more energetic, clear-headed, hydrated, invigorated, recharged, focused and might see improvement in the texture of skin and hair.
Your Nutritional IV drip or IM will be administered by one of our licensed physicians or other qualified licensed medical professionals. Our clinic has over 15 years of experience administering Nutrient IV Therapy and we have performed over 40 thousand IV’s over that time period. We have thousands of happy, satisfied customers.
Although drinking water takes a while before actually being absorbed by the body, being well hydrated before your IV is strongly advised.
Being well hydrated before your IV will make your experience more pleasant and easier for our medical staff to complete the procedure. Eating something beforehand is at your discretion.
Our custom IV typically takes 30 minutes. You should allow 1 hour for your IV drip and 15 minutes for your IM service. We recommend that you plan to arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete your intake, consent, and waiver forms, use the restroom and select your IV and zero gravity recliner.
You should be at least 18 years of age to receive IV Nutrient Therapy in the Holistique IV Lounge. If there is a medical necessity for persons under 18 to receive an IV, they can be seen by the Physicians at Holistique Naturopathic Medical Center for Assessment.
One of the goals of our IV Lounge was to create a sense of community and our Bellevue IV Lounge is designed with groups in mind. You will be very comfortable by yourself and your IV experience will be even more enjoyable sitting next to your friends or family members. we like to say “the more the merrier”.
Absolutely, Yes. What’s not better than watching your favorite show or listening to your favorite music or checking in with your IV Nutritional selfie!! We offer an Enterprise-grade connection to the Internet managed by our own on-staff IT manager.
Good question. The interesting fact about taking vitamins and minerals intravenously (nutritional IV or IM) is that by bypassing your digestive tract your body completely absorbs the nutrition through the blood stream. None of the nutrients are lost during the absorption process or through your urine. This type of nutritional IV absorption has been commonly known to potentially lead to ‘better results’. With oral supplements, you only get about 20% absorption after filtering through your digestive system, clearly less than a nutritional IV.
Believe it or not, after your nutritional IV DRIP, the vitamins will stay in your system and maintain your levels for 2-3 weeks.
The infrequent side effects from having a nutritional IV are bruising, swelling or pain at the site of insertion. Rare possible allergic reaction to one of the nutrients.
While there is no rush (unless you want) getting you in and out, we do have a certain number of beautiful zero gravity chairs to offer our lounge guests. We simply ask that when your Nutritional IV or IM is over, you allow another guest to enjoy the experience we have created. If you have a friend who is enjoying an IV and you are not partaking, we ask that you wait for them by the hospitality bar.

Yes. We offer both a single and family VIP IV LOUNGE loyalty program that provides savings on all services offered in the Holistique IV Lounge. See one of our concierge staff for more information and to sign up.
Mentally prepare yourself. Most people are ‘afraid of needles’ because they have had a bad experience in a hospital or doctors office. Our licensed physicians have years of experience and want the procedure to be a positive one for you. We offer warming pads, topical numbing cream and of course, a sympathetic experienced professional to help you be courageous! At Holistique IV Lounge we use the smallest needles allowed for nutritional IV’s. The initial ‘poke’ can feel like a pinch. Remember to breathe deeply and remain calm and bring your headset with you and listen to your favorite podcast!
We proudly custom compound your IV! Our Medical Director sources all of our IV materials from only the very best manufacturers.
