Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and other compounds directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and achieving plasma concentrations that oral supplementation cannot reach. At Regeneris Therapy we use IV protocols both as standalone treatments — for fatigue, recovery, immune support, athletic performance, hangover and jet-lag — and as adjuncts to our regenerative cell and peptide therapies, where they prepare the metabolic and antioxidant environment for better cell-based outcomes. Every infusion is performed by a licensed physician or trained nurse under medical supervision, with vital sign monitoring and individualized compounding from pharmacy-grade ingredients. This page covers what IV therapy actually is, the specific protocols we offer, when it is and is not appropriate, and how we run a safe infusion. The wellness industry has oversold IV therapy; the medicine itself, used appropriately, has a real evidence base.
What IV therapy is and why bypass matters
Oral supplements and even prescription oral medications have to survive the stomach acid, intestinal enzymes, gut microbiome, and hepatic first-pass metabolism before reaching systemic circulation. For many nutrients — vitamin C beyond 200 mg, glutathione, NAD+, magnesium in therapeutic doses, B-complex at supraphysiologic levels — oral absorption is either capped, highly variable, or essentially negligible. IV administration bypasses all of that and delivers a known dose directly into the bloodstream, where peak plasma concentrations can be 10 to 100 times higher than what any oral protocol can achieve. The clinical implication is precise: IV therapy lets us reach therapeutic plasma levels for specific compounds that would otherwise be impossible, which is the entire reason the modality exists in medicine (hospital electrolyte correction, chemotherapy, hydration, antibiotic delivery — IV is not a wellness invention). The honest framing is that bypass is a real biological tool with specific indications, not a generic 'flush' or 'cleanse.'
Common protocols at our Cancún clinic
Our menu groups around eight named protocols, each calibrated to a distinct clinical goal. The Myers cocktail (magnesium, calcium, B-complex, B12, vitamin C) is the most-studied general-wellness IV, with a small evidence base for fibromyalgia, migraine, and acute fatigue. High-dose vitamin C (10 to 50 grams) at pharmacologic doses produces hydrogen peroxide in tissue and is studied as an adjunct in chronic infection, fatigue, and oncology supportive care — we screen for G6PD deficiency before dosing. Glutathione (the body's master antioxidant) is given for liver support, oxidative stress reduction, and as a complement to other detoxification protocols. NAD+ IV is our dedicated longevity and energy-metabolism infusion — it has its own page given its complexity. Immune-boost blends combine zinc, selenium, vitamin C, and lysine for acute viral support. Hangover and jet-lag drips combine hydration, electrolytes, B-complex, and antiemetics for rapid recovery — popular with traveling patients in Cancún. Athletic performance and recovery protocols add amino acids and taurine. Pre- and post-procedure infusions support patients receiving stem cell therapy by optimizing the metabolic and antioxidant environment.
