Your Guide to IV Therapy
Everything you need to know about IV vitamin therapy — what it is, how it works, and whether it's right for your goals.
Skip the gut. Feed your cells directly.
When you take vitamins orally, you lose 20-80% to digestion. IV therapy bypasses your GI tract entirely, delivering nutrients directly to your bloodstream where your cells can use them immediately.
At Range Medical in Newport Beach, we offer IV therapy for energy, immune support, recovery, and general wellness. Whether you're fighting fatigue, recovering from travel, or optimizing performance — IV therapy gets nutrients where they need to go.
