Recovery
Cancer treatment can take a lot from the body. Recovery deserves thoughtful, personalized support too.
You made it through treatment. Now let's talk about what's next.
Finishing cancer treatment can bring relief, gratitude, exhaustion, hope—and sometimes a very simple question: “What do I do now?”
Energy
Your body may need time and support as you rebuild your strength after treatment.

Fatigue after cancer treatment is common and can last for months. Rest, gentle movement and a nutrition review with your care team all play a part. Your physician can advise whether any added support suits your history.
Hydration
Adequate fluids are an important part of supporting the body during recovery.

Fluids support normal hydration and circulation. How much you need depends on your health history and medications, so your physician can guide what is appropriate for you.
Nutrients
Your physician may consider selected nutrients based on your individual history and needs.

Any nutrient plan starts with a review of your history, medications and lab work. Some supplements and antioxidants are not right for everyone after cancer treatment, so we work alongside your oncology team.
So, what exactly is IV nutrient therapy?
IV nutrient therapy delivers fluids and selected vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients through a vein.
Because the nutrients enter the bloodstream directly, this route bypasses the digestive system. However, that does not automatically mean IV therapy is better than taking nutrients by mouth.
The right approach depends on your individual needs, medical history, nutritional status and treatment plan.
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all IV.
Support designed around you
Depending on your individual needs, your physician may consider selected nutrients as part of your supportive care plan.
Fluids
To support hydration and fluid balance.
B Vitamins
Important for normal energy metabolism and nervous-system function.
Vitamin C
An essential nutrient with antioxidant functions.
Magnesium
Important for normal muscle and nerve function.
Zinc
Plays a role in immune function and wound healing.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
An antioxidant studied in relation to nerve-related symptoms.
What about tingling and numbness?
For some women, the end of chemotherapy does not mean the end of symptoms.
Tingling, burning, sensitivity or numbness in the hands and feet can sometimes persist after treatment. This is commonly referred to as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Alpha-lipoic acid has been studied as a possible supportive approach for nerve-related symptoms. Research in cancer patients is still developing, and it is not a cure for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

For many people, an IV session is simply a chance to sit back and relax while treatment is administered by trained medical staff.
- Comfortable clinical setting
- Trained medical staff
- Physician-guided treatment
- Personalized treatment plan
Or just bring yourself. Sometimes, sitting still for a little while is exactly what you need.
