Anyone who has experienced the stomach bug knows the telltale signs of nausea, cramping and fatigue. While the stomach flu can spread quickly and leave people feeling sick and tired, intravenous (IV) therapy can help. These specialized drips contain a mix of fluids, electrolytes and vitamins that can rehydrate you and ease symptoms. A quick session can rapidly improve your symptoms, helping you feel better and recover faster.

“When you’re feeling defeated and drained from the stomach flu, an IV drip can rejuvenate and ease your symptoms for a quicker recovery. Lay back and relax as the IV therapy replenishes lost fluids, restores essential nutrients and reduces your symptoms. ”

IV Elements in Hoboken is the best!! Julizza was the best, I came in for an IV and she made me feel completely at ease. I will definitely be coming here again!

So I had a terrible hangover, decided to go to the new lounge the atmosphere was wonderful and very clean. I was greeting upon entry and had Stephanie gave me the limitless all in one IV and I felt phenomenal after. I really recommend not only the location but Stephanie as an IV nurse she made me feel very comfortable, especially since I get nervous around needles.

I had a wonderful experience! Many thanks to Julizza! She was very thoughtful during the injection and continuously checked on how I was feeling, adjusting the infusion speed accordingly. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with IV Element.

I got a Super Myers IV from Stephanie two days before I went to Ibiza and it was an absolute lifesaver.

Stephanie was so friendly and knowledgeable, the space was so serene and comfortable, with just the right amount of higher end touches to make it an elevated but not intimidating environment.

I felt a bit better immediately and definitely less worn out after a day (I’d been burning out hardcore at work). I’ll definitely be back a ton moving forward.

Una esperiencia muy agradable y me ayudaron con el idioma 🙏🏻🙏🏻 💯 recomendado
