Yes, when it's done by trained clinicians with real oversight. At Peak Performance every protocol is reviewed by a Board Certified Emergency Physician, and every infusion is started by a licensed registered nurse. We screen for allergies, medications, pregnancy, and relevant conditions before anything runs. Side effects are uncommon and usually minor: mild bruising at the site or a brief vitamin taste. To be clear: IV vitamin therapy is a wellness service, not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, and it's not a substitute for medical care.

Both, by design. A registered nurse places your line and monitors you throughout, and a Board Certified Emergency Physician reviews and authorizes every protocol: every drip, every injection, every peptide program. That physician oversight on every bag is one of the things that separates us from a typical med-spa vitamin bar.

A small pinch to place the line, then nothing. The needle itself doesn't stay in your arm. It guides a soft, flexible catheter into the vein and is removed, which is why you can bend your arm and use your phone the whole time. If you're needle-shy, tell your nurse; we can numb the site and take our time.

Most people have none beyond a brief cool feeling in the arm as the fluid enters. When side effects do happen they're usually mild: slight bruising or soreness at the site, a short-lived vitamin or mineral taste, or transient warmth from magnesium if a drip runs a little quick, which we ease by slowing the rate. NAD+ can cause a flushing or heavy-chest sensation if pushed fast, which is exactly why we run it slow. Severe reactions are very uncommon, and your nurse is with you the whole time.

We limit pregnant and breastfeeding clients to simple hydration and certain B-vitamin formulations, and we do not administer NAD+ or high-dose vitamin C during pregnancy. Please tell us up front, and we always recommend you clear any IV therapy with your OB first. Our physician can communicate directly with your OB if that helps.

Some situations call for adjusting the formula or holding off entirely: pregnancy or breastfeeding, heart, kidney, or liver disease, G6PD deficiency (high-dose vitamin C can cause problems), certain medications like blood thinners or MAOIs, active infection or fever, and known allergies to any ingredient. That's the whole reason for the intake and physician review: we screen for all of it before anything runs. And an IV is never the answer for an emergency: signs of alcohol poisoning, severe dehydration with confusion or fainting, or persistent vomiting need urgent or ER care first.

Three tiers. Essentials ($89/mo) includes one signature IV a month, 10% off additional drips, and a free B12 with every visit. Performance ($159/mo) includes two signature IVs, 15% off extras, a monthly injection, and priority booking. Elite ($249/mo) includes four signature IVs, 20% off everything, peptide-program pricing, free red light sessions, and concierge scheduling. All members get member-only drops.

It comes down to how often you come in. If you're getting a drip once a month or more, a plan usually pays for itself between the included IVs and the member discount on everything else. If you come in only situationally (before a big event or after a rough stretch), paying per visit is often the smarter move. We'd genuinely rather put you in the right tier than oversell you, so ask Tom or September to run the math on your actual habits.

Yes. Memberships are month-to-month, with no long lock-in, and you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel with notice before your next billing date. The full terms are in the membership agreement, and we're happy to walk you through it before you sign anything.

Your member pricing is already discounted, so the 15% first-responder rate generally applies to non-member walk-in pricing rather than stacking on top of member rates. In practice you'll always get whichever path is cheaper for a given visit. Just mention your department and we'll make sure you're charged the better of the two.

None. As soon as we remove the catheter and place a small bandage, you're free to drive, work out, or head back to your day. A few people get slight tenderness or minor bruising at the site that fades within a day or two. Otherwise there's nothing to recover from.

It depends on the drip. Hydration and a rough-morning Rescue often hit within 15–45 minutes, and most people walk out functional. A Myers Cocktail tends to land within the hour and build over the day. NAD+ is the slow burn. Many clients notice sharper focus and cleaner energy building over the following day and across a course of visits rather than all at once.

Keep drinking water. The drip gives you a strong head start, but Arizona heat pulls it back out fast, so keep electrolytes in one or two of your daily waters. Eat something normal, skip pounding coffee or alcohol for a bit if you came in to recover, and let the ingredients do their work. If you got an injection like B12 or Lipo-B, no special aftercare is needed.

There's no universal schedule: cadence depends on your goals. Many members run a signature drip every 1–2 weeks as a baseline; others come in situationally. For a NAD+ course we typically suggest a few loading sessions over 2–3 weeks, then monthly maintenance. Start with a single visit, notice how you feel over the next few days, and build a rhythm from there. We'll help you set a pace that fits your life rather than sell you a package you don't need.

Minor bruising, brief soreness, or a little warmth at the site are normal and pass on their own. Call us at (623) 282-1201 if you notice spreading redness, swelling, or pain at the IV site, or anything that feels off. We'd rather hear from you. And if you ever have signs of a serious reaction like trouble breathing, chest pain, or swelling of the face or throat, that's a 911 call, not a phone call to us.
