What it is
High-dose vitamin IV therapy is a treatment that delivers large amounts of essential vitamins directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. Unlike oral supplements, which are broken down in the digestive system and only partially absorbed, IV therapy allows immediate and complete nutrient delivery at higher concentrations.
This treatment often includes Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, Vitamin B12, and antioxidants such as glutathione. In Korea, high-dose vitamin IV therapy is widely used in hospitals, wellness centers, and beauty clinics to support immunity, skin health, detoxification, and energy recovery.
➡ Highlights:
• Provides rapid and powerful nutrient absorption
• Supports immune system, energy, and skin radiance
• Widely available in Korea’s wellness and beauty industry
Why it’s done
High-dose vitamin IV therapy is chosen by people who want stronger, faster results than standard vitamin supplements can provide.
➝ Key reasons it’s done:
- Immune strengthening: High doses of Vitamin C and other nutrients help fight infections
- Energy and stamina: Boosts energy levels for those under heavy stress or fatigue
- Skin brightening and anti-aging: Antioxidant-rich formulas improve skin clarity and slow aging
- Detoxification: Supports the liver and cellular repair against toxins and stress
- Faster recovery: Helps after illness, surgery, or long travel
In Korea, many patients choose this therapy before flu season, exams, performances, or beauty events.
Alternatives
There are other ways to supplement vitamins, but they may not be as effective as high-dose IV therapy:
• Oral supplements: Multivitamins, tablets, and powders (limited absorption)
• Vitamin-rich diet: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish (healthy but gradual)
• Topical skincare with vitamins: Provides surface-level effects for skin only
• Standard IV drips: Smaller doses of vitamins and fluids for basic hydration and recovery
High-dose vitamin IV therapy is preferred when stronger and faster results are required, especially for immune or beauty goals.
Preparation
To make the treatment safe and effective, proper preparation is necessary:
✅ Medical consultation to determine appropriate vitamin dosage
✅ Discuss medications or health conditions to avoid interactions
✅ Avoid heavy meals before infusion for comfort
✅ Customized blends — In Korea, high-dose vitamin IVs are often combined with glutathione for skin glow or amino acids for energy
How it’s done
The procedure is safe and usually takes 30–90 minutes, depending on the vitamin concentration.
➝ A nurse inserts a small IV needle into the arm after sterilization
➝ The IV bag containing high doses of vitamins and fluids is connected
➝ The infusion flows directly into the bloodstream at a controlled pace
➝ Patients typically relax in comfortable lounges or spa-like wellness centers, a common feature in Korean clinics
Important: High-dose vitamin therapy must be supervised by licensed professionals, as very high concentrations require careful monitoring.
Recovery
Most patients report feeling refreshed and energized shortly after treatment.
✔️ Immediate effects: Boosted energy, clearer focus, improved hydration
✔️ Skin benefits: Brighter tone and reduced dullness with regular sessions
✔️ Immune support: Better resistance against seasonal illnesses
✔️ Minimal side effects: Possible mild bruising or temporary cool sensation in the arm
In Korea, many people book this therapy regularly as part of wellness and skincare routines.
