Why Add-Ons Matter
A vitamin infusion isn’t one-size-fits-all. While a base IV drip covers hydration and core nutrients, add-ons let you target what your body actually needs that day, whether that’s an energy boost, immune support, or faster recovery.
At GIV Wellness, our team of registered nurses has completed more than 1,000 IV sessions across Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and surrounding areas. Along the way, a few add-ons have stood out as consistent favorites.
The 3 Most Requested Add-Ons
Magnesium. One of our top requests, and for good reason. Magnesium is often added for muscle cramps, tension, and better sleep. One of our clients, Kim Greene, shared that after a Myers’ Cocktail with Magnesium and Vitamin C, she noticed a real improvement in her sleep that night.
Glutathione. Known as one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants, Glutathione is a popular pick for anyone focused on detox support and skin health.
Vitamin C. Our most requested add-on by far during fall and winter. As cold and flu season ramps up, so do our appointments, and Vitamin C is usually at the center of them.
More Add-Ons Worth Knowing About
Depending on your goals, your nurse may also recommend:
- Vitamin B12 for energy and mental clarity.
- Zinc for extra immune support.
- Vitamin D to support mood and overall wellness.
- Amino Blend for muscle recovery.
- Taurine to support energy and hydration.
- Zofran for nausea relief.
The Myth: “More Vitamins Is Always Better”
A common misconception is that you can simply add whatever vitamins you want to your infusion. In reality, not all vitamins are compatible with each other, and adding too much of the wrong combination isn’t the goal.
That’s why our nurses always start by asking about your symptoms first, not just the drip you think you want. Sometimes the IV you had in mind isn’t actually the best fit. Your nurse may recommend a different base drip, paired with the add-on that works best for it.
How It Works
Booking is simple. You can call your local GIV Wellness office directly, or book online by selecting your drip and filling out a short form with your symptoms and basic health information.
When your nurse arrives, they’ll walk you through our full menu, ask how you’re feeling, and recommend the combination that fits your needs, whether that’s one add-on or a few.
