Vitamin B12 & IV Therapy
Physician-supervised vitamin and hydration support.
Vitamin B12 injections and intravenous (IV) therapy deliver fluids and selected vitamins directly into the body under medical supervision. At Captivate Medical Wellness, these wellness services are overseen by Dr. Marcelo Taborga, MD, a board-certified internist. The aim is to support hydration and vitamin needs as part of a thoughtful, individualized plan.
What it is
IV therapy delivers a fluid solution, which may include vitamins such as B12, directly into a vein, while B12 can also be given as an injection. Because the contents enter the bloodstream directly, this method bypasses digestion. During your consultation, Dr. Taborga will review your health history and discuss what a given formulation does and does not do.
What it supports
These services are generally used to support hydration and to supplement specific vitamins. Vitamin B12 plays a role in normal energy metabolism and nervous system function, and supplementation may be considered for certain individuals. During your consultation, Dr. Taborga will determine whether IV therapy or a B12 injection is appropriate for you, or whether it is unnecessary.
What to expect
A B12 injection is typically quick, while an IV session involves sitting comfortably while the solution is administered over a period of time. Dr. Taborga will review the process, any sensations to expect, and aftercare. As with any treatment, suitability depends on your individual health, which is assessed beforehand.
Why choose a physician
Vitamin and IV therapies should be guided by medical judgment, including review of your health history and appropriate candidacy. As a board-certified internist, Dr. Taborga personally oversees these services and recommends them only when appropriate. Consultations are available in English and Spanish.
