Normal saline

All of the Reset IV packages are based on normal saline, a solution made of water and sodium chloride. Normal saline provides essential hydration, dilutes medications, and facilitates the delivery of nutrients throughout the body.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is an essential nutrient that enables your body to convert carbohydrates into energy. In addition, this vitamin plays a key role in the proper functioning of the heart, nerves, and muscles.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is indispensable for growth and overall health. It is essential for red blood cell production, fats and protein metabolism, as well as maintaining healthy liver, skin, hair, and eyes.

Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) boosts brain and skin function. Besides, it lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood and helps your body maintain its optimal energy metabolism.

Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) plays an important role in producing blood cells and converting food into energy. Vitamin B5 belongs to the group of B vitamins, which are necessary for healthy skin, hair, and eyes, optimal functioning of the nervous system and liver, and a healthy digestive tract. 

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) may improve mood, treat nausea, and promote brain health. It is also involved in the functioning of the immune system and may prevent chronic diseases.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 (Biotin) plays a crucial role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, and proteins, and the formation of fatty acids and glucose, which are used as energy in the body. This vitamin is crucial for the optimal health of your skin, hair, and nails.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) promotes red blood cell formation, supports bone health, and improves mood. Other health benefits include reducing anxiety and depression, enhancing immunity, and improving memory and overall well-being.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is involved in the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, strengthening of the immune system, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. It can lower the risk of heart disease, maintain your body’s collagen production, help heal wounds, boost energy levels, and reduce stress levels. 

Folic Acid

Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, also known as folate, essential in preventing oxidation of DNA by free radicals, the formation of red blood cells, and healthy cell growth and function. Folic acid has numerous benefits, from treating anemia to reducing the risk of heart disease and preventing birth defects.

Modified Myer's Cocktail

Modified Myer’s Cocktail is a special formula that consists of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. It is effective against migraines, fatigue, seasonal allergies, and asthma, and can help improve overall well-being.

M.I.C. 

M.I.C. (Methionine, Inositol, and Choline) is a combination of essential amino acids and vitamins which help with the breakdown of fat during metabolism. M.I.C. or fat-burning injections are successfully used for weight loss in combination with weight loss programs and for improving general health.

Amino Blend

Amino acids, essential compounds that make up proteins, help create neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline that influence moods and behavior. Amino blends may reduce fatigue and improve athletic performance, including speed, strength, and endurance. 

Glutathione 

Glutathione is an antioxidant vital for many chemical reactions in your body. It detoxifies chemicals and prevents cellular damage, in addition to reducing the speed of the aging process.

Medications

Other than minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, IV fluids can include one or more medications, for example, pain killers, anti-heartburn medications, and anti-nausea drugs. These medications can help reduce inflammation and pain when you’re not feeling your best.

Optional add-ons

All Reset IV fluids can be customized upon request using add-ons, such as additional vitamins, multivitamin, L-Arginine, taurine, and caffeine, to further increase the effectiveness of your treatment.
