Posted by Alonso Martin M.D.

Many people in Miami Beach look for effective ways to maintain steady energy, stay hydrated, and feel their best despite busy schedules and active lifestyles. Energy IV therapy has become a popular option for those seeking supportive hydration and nutrient replenishment, but one question always comes first: Is IV therapy safe? 

At BODYWELLE, Dr. Alonso Martin offers a physician-led approach to vitamin therapy that prioritizes safety, comfort, and clear benefits for patients seeking reliable support for energy and recovery. Before scheduling your first Energy IV session, it helps to understand how the treatment works and what you can expect.

What’s Inside the Energy IV and Why the Ingredients Matter

Energy IV therapy at BODYWELLE includes a blend of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and essential minerals chosen to support hydration, stamina, and mental clarity. These water-soluble vitamins help the body use nutrients efficiently and clear what it doesn’t need naturally. Because the treatment includes IV fluids, it also helps with rehydration and restoring balance after travel, stress, or illness.

The B-vitamin blend includes:

  • B1 (Thiamine) to support metabolic energy
  • B2 (Riboflavin) to help convert nutrients into usable fuel
  • B3 (Niacin) for cellular repair and circulation
  • B5 (Pantothenic Acid) for stress support
  • B6 (Pyridoxine) for healthy brain and nerve function
  • B12 (Methylcobalamin) for stamina and mental clarity
  • B7 (Biotin) for metabolic support
  • B9 (Folate) for cellular and red blood cell support
  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) for antioxidant support
  • Magnesium Chloride for neuromuscular comfort
  • Calcium Gluconate for muscle function support

Understanding what is in the infusion helps patients feel confident about how these vitamins and minerals work in the body and why they are considered safe when used appropriately.

The Safety Protocols BODYWELLE Uses for Every Energy IV Session

Dr. Martin follows medical protocols designed to reduce risks and ensure each IV session is safe and comfortable. Before treatment, Dr. Martin and his staff review your health history, supplements, allergies, and current medications. This screening helps determine whether any factors may increase the risk of fluid imbalance, adverse reactions, or nutrient interactions.

Safety measures include:

  • A full medical review and discussion of current medications
  • Screening for any recent illness, dehydration, or contraindications
  • Use of medical-grade IV equipment and sterile technique
  • Continuous monitoring of the IV site and overall comfort throughout the infusion

These steps help reduce the chance of IV site irritation, infection, or other complications. The goal is to ensure therapy safety from beginning to end.

Understanding the Possible Side Effects and Risks

Most patients tolerate Energy IV therapy well, but it is important to know potential side effects and when to speak with a doctor.

Common short-term effects:

  • Mild discomfort during insertion
  • Cool sensation in the arm
  • Slight bruising at the injection site
  • Temporary lightheadedness if arriving dehydrated

Less common risks:

  • Infection at the IV site
  • Irritation of the vein
  • Allergic reaction
  • Adverse response to high doses of nutrients

When to talk to a doctor first

Patients undergoing cancer treatment or chemotherapy, those with certain heart or kidney conditions, and individuals with chronic illness should discuss IV therapy with Dr. Martin beforehand. Some conditions may require a modified approach or a different treatment entirely.
