Booking your first IV therapy can feel like a leap into the unknown. At Elysian Institute, every session follows the same clear path: screening, placement, infusion, and a short recovery check before you head out feeling better than you came in.
How We Screen Every Client First
Before any IV goes in, our nurse practitioner or a registered nurse reviews your health history. IV therapy is a medical treatment, not a spa add-on, so anyone booking an IV therapy in Bigfork, MT, or IM injection at Elysian Institute completes a medical intake first. This isn’t a formality: it’s how we catch contraindications, confirm your dose is appropriate, and decide whether a standard bag, a specialty infusion, or something else fits your goals. Clients working through more complex health histories may spend extra time with our provider before treatment begins, and that’s by design.
Placing Your IV
Once you’re cleared, a registered nurse at Elysian Institute places the IV using a small catheter, usually in the arm. You’ll feel a brief pinch, then settle into a comfortable chair for the infusion itself while your nurse monitors you throughout.
How Long Your Infusion Actually Takes
Timing depends on what’s in the bag. Our foundational drip mixes typically run 60 to 90 minutes, giving you time to relax while fluids and nutrients absorb directly into your bloodstream. NAD+ infusions take longer, usually 1 to 4 hours depending on dose, since higher concentrations are infused slowly for comfort and safety. A recent small clinical comparison of NAD+ IV and NR IV found this pattern holds broadly: NAD+ infusions took about two and a half times as long on average as NR infusions, largely because NAD+ therapy is more likely to cause temporary discomfort that requires a slower drip rate.
Faster Options: NR and Rapid Reset
If you want the cellular benefits of NAD+ without that longer time commitment, our NR infusion delivers a precursor that helps your body produce more NAD+ on its own, and it runs a flat hour no matter the dose. For clients who are short on time, the Rapid Reset IV lets you pick three ingredients from an approved list, administered as a quick push in about 30 minutes rather than a slow drip.
What You Can Expect Afterward
Most clients feel little more than mild warmth during the infusion itself, and any side effects are typically minor and short-lived, resolving once the drip rate slows or the session ends. Our NAD+ therapy in Bigfork, MT, and other infusions close with a brief check-in before you’re released, and our team can answer questions about how you’re feeling or what to expect over the next day.
When You’ll Feel Results
Many clients notice increased energy or mental clarity the same day, though how quickly you feel results depends on your hydration and health history. Every protocol here is paired with your broader goals, including how it complements peptide therapy for anti-aging if that’s part of your plan.
