Frequently asked questions
Is the Athletic Performance IV really worth $235?
Built piece by piece, the same components run roughly $270 before counting the mobile nurse and NP oversight. You are paying $235 for the full bundle, delivered to your door, in 45 minutes. For an athlete with a race or a heavy training block on the calendar, the math is straightforward.
How is this different from a standalone single-ingredient IV?
A single-ingredient drip targets one variable. The Athletic Performance IV addresses the four things that actually limit athletes at the same time: hydration, electrolyte status, amino acid availability, and energy-system cofactors. You can buy them separately, but performance and recovery happen at the intersection, not in isolation.
Why does this take 45 minutes?
A full liter of fluids with magnesium and amino acids needs to run at a comfortable rate, both for the vein and for absorption. Pushing it faster increases the chance of warmth, flushing, or stomach discomfort from the magnesium. Forty-five minutes is the sweet spot where you stay comfortable and your body fully uses the formula.
Can I get the Athletic Performance IV regularly?
Yes. Most athletes use it once every one to two weeks during heavy training blocks, or strategically before key events and after the hardest sessions. Some endurance athletes book it the day before long races and again two days after. We can help you build a cadence that matches your schedule.
What if I have never had a comprehensive IV before?
Most first-timers are surprised at how relaxed the appointment is. Your nurse walks you through every step, places the line, and stays with you the entire 45 minutes. You can sit on your couch, take a call, or close your eyes. If anything feels off at any point, we adjust the drip rate or stop.
Do you accept insurance?
IV therapy is typically not covered by insurance. Ians IV accepts HSA and FSA cards, cash, and all major credit cards. Reach out to ian@ianiv.com if you have questions about HSA or FSA documentation for your visit.
Why Ians IV for Your Athletic Performance IV?
Built around training schedules
We come to your home, gym, or hotel on your timeline. Book the night before a race or right after a heavy session and recover where you actually live, not in a strip-mall clinic chair.
Real clinical oversight
Every drip is reviewed and authorized by a Nurse Practitioner before it runs, and administered by a licensed registered nurse. You get a medical-grade treatment, not a juice bar version of one.
Honest dosing, honest pricing
$235 includes the full liter, all four active ingredients, mobile delivery, and the licensed nurse. No surprise add-on fees and no diluted formulas designed to hit a price point.
Who Books an Athletic Performance IV?
Marathoners, triathletes, century riders, and Spartan racers who want to start the gun fully hydrated with primed electrolyte and amino pools. Carb loading handles fuel. This drip handles the fluid, magnesium, and amino base most athletes are running low on by race morning. Many book the night before so they wake up race-ready instead of pounding water and bonking at mile 18.
If you train five or six days a week and the soreness is starting to stack, the bottleneck is usually recovery, not effort. Amino acids feed muscle repair, magnesium supports muscle relaxation and sleep quality, and B-complex restores the energy cofactors you burned through. This is the drip that lets you hit Tuesday with the same intensity as Monday.
You used to bounce back from a long ride or pickup game by Sunday night. Now Tuesday still hurts. The Athletic Performance IV is built for the body that still wants to compete but needs more help on the recovery side. Hydration, magnesium, and aminos delivered intravenously do in 45 minutes what oral supplements take days to do, and only partially.
Boxers, jiu jitsu competitors, and MMA athletes who cut water for weigh-ins are walking into fight night dehydrated and electrolyte depleted. Rehydrating with this drip restores fluid volume, magnesium, and aminos faster than chugging Pedialyte. Book it the evening of weigh-ins so you step on the mat or in the cage actually ready to perform.
High-volume, mixed-modal training drains everything: glycogen, electrolytes, aminos, and central nervous system reserves. Taurine supports cardiac and CNS function under load, B-complex drives ATP production, and magnesium calms the system down so you can actually sleep and adapt. Smart athletes use this drip mid-block to keep the volume sustainable.

Full Ingredients Breakdown
| Name | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Amino Acid Blend | The structural raw material for muscle repair and adaptation. After a hard session, micro-tears in muscle fibers need amino acids to rebuild stronger, and IV delivery skips digestion so they hit circulation immediately. This is the recovery-acceleration core of the drip. |
| Taurine | Supports cardiac output, CNS function, and electrolyte balance inside muscle cells, which matters under endurance and high-intensity load. It also plays a role in reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress, so you finish a session with less downstream inflammation. Many pre-workout formulas include taurine for exactly this reason, just at lower doses and with worse absorption. |
| B-Complex | B vitamins are the cofactors your mitochondria need to convert food into ATP, the energy currency your muscles actually run on. Heavy training depletes them, and depleted B status shows up as fatigue, slow recovery, and brain fog. IV B-complex restores the full panel directly to the bloodstream so the energy system is resourced. |
| Magnesium | Magnesium is required for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including muscle contraction and relaxation, nerve signaling, and sleep regulation. Athletes are commonly low because sweat losses are real and oral magnesium is poorly absorbed. The IV dose helps reduce cramping, supports deeper sleep, and calms post-workout nervous system overdrive. |
| IV Fluids | A liter of balanced electrolyte fluid delivers the hydration foundation everything else rides on. Even mild dehydration drops performance and slows recovery, and most athletes underestimate how depleted they are. This restores plasma volume in 45 minutes, not the 6 to 12 hours oral rehydration takes. |
