frequently asked questions

drip therapy

  • Intravenous Therapy is a safe and efficient way to deliver essential fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream bypassing the digestive system, meaning you get all of the fluids and nutrients you need.

  • Anyone with a history of heart disease, congestive heart failure, liver or kidney disease should not receive IV infusions.  Clients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (favism) should not receive high dose vitamin C. Although some vitamins are safe during pregnancy, we are currently not treating pregnant or breastfeeding clients.

  • Vita Hydration is overseen by our medical director.  A registered nurse specially trained in IV therapy or one of our nurse practitioners will administer your infusion after taking your health history and vital signs.

  • You’ll feel a quick pinch but our nurses are all specially trained in IV insertions so you’re in good hands.  Our staff has worked on IV teams and in emergency rooms and intensive care units throughout Boston’s top hospitals.  Making our clients feel comfortable and safe is our number one priority.

  • Although rare, side effects may include pain and bruising at the insertion site, allergic reaction, and risk for infection. During your infusion you will be monitored by a healthcare professional trained in identifying and managing potential side effects should they occur.  

sauna therapy

  • If any of the following conditions apply to you, we recommend you consult with your provider prior to sauna use: taking medications, chronic conditions/diseases associated with reduced ability to sweat or perspire, hemophiliacs/individuals prone to bleeding, cardiovascular conditions, pacemaker/defibrillator, alcohol use, fever, sensitivity to heat, joint injury, pregnancy, implants.

    Acute stage respiratory disease, cardiac insufficiency, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, acute kidney disease, alcohol, or drug intoxication. Pregnant women and individuals undergoing cancer treatment should consult with your provider prior to use of salt therapy.

    Eucalyptus and mint-infused salt is not recommended for pregnant individuals, children under 12, or those with allergies or sensitivity to eucalyptus or mint.

  • For most people daily sauna use is okay after your body has become accustomed to infrared therapy. We recommend that you start with 30-minute sessions 2-3 times a week and work up to 40-minute sessions. Be sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body and stop your session if you feel any discomfort.

red-light therapy

  • A session is 10–20 minutes.

  • Yes, for most people. However, it’s not recommended during pregnancy or for individuals with light-sensitive conditions such as lupus. Those taking medications that cause photosensitivity should consult a healthcare provider.

  • Start with 3–5 sessions per week. Some individuals may benefit from daily use depending on their goals.

  • Wear a bathing suit or workout attire that allows for maximum skin exposure. Please come with clean, dry skin free of makeup, lotions, or oils.

nad+ therapy

  • While ongoing research explores its effectiveness in treating various diseases and its role in aging and cell protection, studies indicate that NAD+ IV therapy is safe and does not harm users.

  • Everyone is different! If you are new to NAD+ therapy, it is recommended you start with a 125mg or 250mg dose. Adjustments depend on your health history and goals. You may increase to 500mg after assessing its effects. Treatment plans vary; some may need more frequent visits. We'll tailor a personalized plan for you.

  • Treatment duration varies based on dose and your comfort level. A 250mg treatment typically lasts 2–3 hours, with longer durations for higher doses to prevent side effects. Our staff ensures your safety and comfort throughout the infusion, adjusting drip rates as needed to alleviate discomfort.

  • Individuals looking to improve energy, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Clients undergo a medical history review for safety. This service is not suitable for those pregnant/nursing, those with cardiovascular, kidney, or liver disease, or undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

  • NAD+ can be delivered either intravenously (IV) or through intramuscular (IM) injection. IM is ideal for those who prefer shorter sessions or who need lower doses. IM is also beneficial for maintaining NAD+ levels post-IV loading doses.
