Vida-Flo (previously known as Hydration Station) was established in 2012. It provides intravenous (IV) hydration therapy (also called intravenous nutrient therapy).[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Intravenous hydration with vitamins and minerals has been used to treat dehydration and hangovers.[8][9] However, most available evidence is anecdotal and no clinical trials are available yet.[10][11][12][13][14][15] A small study on patients with fibromyalgia reported improvement of symptoms and increased daily activities without complete disappearance of symptoms after 8 weeks of intravenous nutrient therapy with a mixture of vitamins and minerals.[16]
Composition
Vida-Flo provides a combination of normal saline solution or lactated Ringer's solution with vitamins, minerals, and occasionally medications.[2][4][8]
