IV therapy has proved to be one of the most effective treatment options for everyone from busy moms to CEOs. As celebrity and online influencers share their experiences, IV therapy’s popularity continues to grow. But IV therapy is not just for the rich and famous.
As affordable IV treatment options for fatigue, acute illness and vitamin deficiencies become more readily available, it’s important to understand what makes IV therapy truly effective.
When patients take vitamins orally, the dose that they actually absorb is reduced as these nutrients travel from the mouth to the cells. This is because these nutrients first have to be absorbed in the gut (a process that is challenging for patients with digestive issues), and then they get processed in the liver, which will further reduce their availability.
But when these vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants are given intravenously, they bypass these metabolic processes, making them 100% available in the bloodstream. This makes IV therapy the most fast acting and effective option.
At Kare Health & Wellness, IV therapy has been offered since we opened our doors in 2012. While working in traditional medicine, I became very interested in WHY people were experiencing ongoing symptoms, even while taking oral vitamins and minerals.
I knew that when I opened my own practice, I had to do more for my patients to truly get them better.
We started with simple protocols, such as the Myer’s Cocktail. As that produced results for our patients, we began incorporating different components, which meant we were creating personalized IVs that correlated with patients lab results and their reported symptoms.
Seeing their transformative progress was truly exciting for me! So, I became committed to learning as much about IV therapy as possible. I began traveling all over the country for training, to places like Seattle, Wichita, San Diego, and even abroad to Tijuana, Mexico!
There were so many different facets to IV therapy that went beyond basic vitamins! We could help patients with chronic diseases, detoxification issues and even cancer patients who were previously driving from coast to coast for treatment.
As new patients would come to us, we would reexamine our IV protocols and discover new components to make them even more effective. My team and I have spent countless hours researching and training on application of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, antioxidants and medications that make IV therapy the best option for our established patients and guests!
Throughout the past 10 years, Kare has become known for effective IV treatments for patients from all walks of life. We often receive emails from people all over the country asking for guidance when choosing an IV therapy facility similar to us, but local to them.
While the benefit from intravenous infusions is overwhelmingly clear, what is not as well known is what to look for when choosing an IV therapy provider.
IV Therapy Is A Medical Service
One of the first things we always remind people is that IV therapy is truly a medical service. What you receive in an IV bag will change your health. If it looks and feels like a medical facility, then you’re on the right track!
At Kare, our facility has a fully designated space, specifically for IV therapy called The Functional Healing Center.

Personalized Screenings, Treatment Plans and Drips
There is no one-size-fits all IV drip. At Kare Health & Wellness, our commitment is to provide personalized medical care in a safe, unhurried environment.
For our established patients, our providers determine the best IV therapy to meet their health goals and support their treatment plans. We pack in more vitamins and at higher doses than ever before!
We have done extensive research on each of our drip protocols and how to safely give high doses to help patients achieve therapeutic levels. The levels at which we begin seeing a true microcellular change! Patients can feel confident they are getting the most out of each treatment.

Experienced Expert Care
In the past decade, we’ve administered over 14,000 IVs at Kare Health & Wellness. This is the result of our ongoing, never ending training on new medical breakthroughs and continual research into the efficacy of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants.
I’ve dedicated my life to providing quality, transformative care and treatment options that give people back the life that their health conditions have stolen. I’m certainly thankful for the opportunity to attend some of the most prestigious IV trainings around the world, and to bring back that knowledge to patients, right here in the Ozarks.
We would certainly recommend doing research into the experience of your IV providers and facilities, no matter where you are located!
Patient Safety Is Our Top Priority
We are dedicated to providing the safest and highest quality of infusion care. From the cleanliness of our facility to the tools and materials we use for administering IVs, and the process in which our staff takes to ensure patient safety, it is evident that quality and safety standards go hand-in-hand!
Personalized Care, Not Commercialized Care
Your IV experience should be tailored to your current health and provide support to help you reach your health goals! One of the biggest benefits of working with a Functional Medicine provider is the opportunity to receive personalized care where the provider knows you, your name, your health history, your diagnosis, your lifestyle habits and has worked with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
This same personalized treatment intentionally spills over into the IV care we provide to patients and guests. IV therapy should be about giving you a better quality of life, not draining you of time and money!
If you’re in the Ozarks, I certainly invite you to visit Kare Health & Wellness and experience the effectiveness of IV therapy for yourself- as you relax in comfort! Our team is ready to help provide you with the highest quality of personalized care you can find!
