IV Vitamin Therapy in Charleston, SC

“It’s estimated that over 83% of the nutrients taken by mouth never get absorbed.”

Craig Koniver, M.D., Developer of FastVitamin IV®

What is IV Vitamin Therapy?

Intravenous nutrient therapy (IV) delivers nutritional support (essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants) through an intravenous drip so that they are absorbed directly into your bloodstream.

This delivery system helps you receive optimum concentrations of key nutrients to address well-being issues (fatigue, daytime sleepiness, focus and energy issues) that could not be achieved through oral supplements. It is the safest, fastest, most effective way to deliver critical nutrients into your body. The fast rate of absorption means you feel the energizing benefits immediately and your body processes this critical nutrition more efficiently.

At Well Labs+ MedSpa Charleston, we believe great health and great skin work in tandem, as critical components to looking and feeling one’s best. We are delighted to offer our patients the premier IV nutrient therapy, FastVitamin IV®, in addition to several other IV nutrient protocols that work wonders to promote radiant skin.

Treatment Options

Initially designed for athletes to receive critical nutrients to fuel muscle, cells and the nervous system in a matter of minutes, FastVitaminIV®, is the gold standard in IV nutrient therapy. Your body will quickly absorb undiluted vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can be preventive by strengthening your body’s defenses, promoting anti-aging and enhancing the strength and look of your skin, hair and nails. You feel awake and mentally and physically energized – and the beneficial effect lasts for days!

FastVitaminIV®

FastVitaminIV® is administered as a “push” because speed is crucial when it comes to nutrients entering into the system – offering more immediate and longer-lasting results.

You can resume your day’s activities feeling more awake and energized.

The best part: no waiting 60-90 minutes! With this advanced nutritional technology, you can now nourish and rejuvenate your body in 60 seconds or less!

Vitamin C Drip

Vitamin C (also called L-ascorbic acid or ascorbate) is a nutrient that humans must get from food or dietary supplements since it cannot be made in the body. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps prevent oxidative stress. Vitamin C also works with enzymes to play a key role in making collagen which is critical to maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

As you know, many high-end topical skin care products include Vitamin C as an ingredient because it is such a needed nutrient for healthy, glowing skin. The advantage of utilizing Intravenous Vitamin C is that Vitamin C is taken all over your body and skin where it can act. And, due to the high absorption of Vitamin C IVs, your skin will benefit immediately.

Why rely on just topical Vitamin C products when you can get a higher concentration of the powerful antioxidant Vitamin C delivered to all of your skin via IV!

Vitamin C can help:

Stop the biochemical reactions that cause uneven pigmentation to effectively brighten skin.
Renew the skin surface; keep skin looking firm; reduce appearance of fine line and wrinkles.
Enhance skin’s natural defense system to help protect it from oxidative stress and free radicals.

Glutathione Push

Glutathione, a compound produced naturally in the liver and also found in fruits, vegetables and meats, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from damage, neutralizes free radicals in cells and aids in detoxification. In fact, Glutathione is considered the Master Antioxidant due to it’s powerful effects in helping the liver detoxify.

Glutathione is involved in tissue-building and repair, making proteins and chemicals needed in the body and supporting the immune system.

Glutathione can help:

Fight oxidative stress for overall good health.
Naturally detoxify and eliminate toxins.
Naturally cause skin lightening and brightening.

It has been well-established that many Asian cultures rely heavily on Glutathione use to help with skin radiance and complexion! Now you can get these same benefits in our office in a matter of a few minutes a week!

NAD+

NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a Vitamin B3 derivative, has been successfully utilized for many years in intravenous protocols to help people with addiction, neurodegenerative diseases as well as promoting optimal brain chemistry. Craig Koniver, M.D., discovered that the combination of the NAD with his FastVitaminIV® also greatly helps people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, TBI’s neurological diseases and executive functioning.

NAD+ is foundational for our cells to operate as NAD+ is the rate-limiting nutrient our Mitochondria needs to energize our cells. As we age, our NAD+ levels decline which directly leads to aging, development of cancer and even diabetes.

By replenishing NAD+ levels both Intravenously and through other modalities, you will provide your cells the ability to make ATP energy much more efficiently.

At Well Labs+ MedSpa Charleston we oversee more NAD+ IV treatments than anywhere in the country and our results have been transformative! By allowing your cells to quickly make more ATP energy, your skin will thrive and you will be setting yourself up to feel your best and age the most gracefully!

Peptides

Peptides are quickly becoming a rising star in the fight against aging and longevity as they play a huge role in helping slow down the aging process. We use a unique blend that of peptides called GLOW will have your skin looking vibrant and clear. GLOW consists of a combination of BPC 157, TB 500, and GHK-cu that synergistically work together to deliver radiant skin.

Our Medical Director, Craig Koniver MD is known nationally as a leading physician with peptides and has clients all over the world using and living his uniquely blended protocols.

For those of you who are unfamiliar or wanting to learn more here is a breakdown of what they are, why they are important, and what kind of results you can expect from them:

Like proteins, peptides are made up of amino acids and are naturally present in protein rich foods such as eggs, milk, seeds, and meat. As a result, they are very safe and rarely if ever contribute to negative side effects. GHK-cu is our most popular peptide for collagen stimulation and overall skin improvement. It works by stimulating collagen in the fibroblasts which has an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, promoting wound healing, and enhanced blood vessel growth.

But dont take it from us, hear what one of our clients has to say about it.

“I absolutely love this combo. I was a newbie to peptides before I started these. I wanted to try them but did not want to do the reconstituting, etc., not to mention finding a safe source and a logical combination. That is all done for you by Koniver Wellness. And what a difference it has made for me! I’m on around the 7th course, and my results are nothing less than amazing. The effect on my skin is like a series of full body laser treatments. My vitality and cognition are enhanced as well, and I just feel great! Thank you, Dr. Koniver!”

Results

Everybody is different. The more deficient and unbalanced your system is, the greater and more immediate an effect you may experience. However, just because you do not feel an immediate difference, doesn’t mean the therapy is not beneficial to your system in the short and long term.

Disclaimer: Every patient is different, and results may vary due to a number of factors. During your consultation, we will discuss with you the results you can expect and create a custom treatment plan for you.
