Benefits of Hydration
t’s no secret that water is pretty important; sufficient hydration is literally essential to our survival – even if it can be a little challenging to drink the recommended amount of water, especially in warmer or dryer climates! (Though recommended water intake varies slightly according to age, sex, and weight, adults are typically advised to drink upwards of 10 cups of water each day!) Fortunately, IVs give us another way to ensure our bodies are appropriately hydrated if consuming that much water on a daily basis is a challenge, because hydration carries many additional important benefits – on top of, ya know: living!

Allergies and IV Therapy
Though it often feels like spring passes in the blink of an eye – especially here in the southwest, where triple-digit temperatures loom in the not-so-distant future – many people experience some afflictions that make the changing of seasons quite challenging.
Blooming flowers and fluctuating weather can trigger allergies – runny noses, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure, to name just a few – which can certainly make it difficult to enjoy the cooler weather.
Luckily, IV therapy is one way to address these unpleasant symptoms. If you are currently struggling with springtime allergies, check out our suggestions below!

IV Intralipid Therapy for Fertility
Intralipid, a 20% fat emulsion which is comprised of soybean oil, egg phospholipids, and glycerine, was initially used as a form of IV nutrition. Since this discovery, it has been implemented in several protocols to help immunosuppress the body and reduce the expression and activity of natural killer cells, a type of white blood cell which can interfere with the transfer and implantation process. Intralipid has been touted as a less expensive, safer, and equivalent therapy to more expensive treatments.

Can Red Light Therapy Help Improve My Fertility?
A recent advance in fertility therapy includes low level laser light therapy, or LLLT (also called photobiomodulation). This has been explored in several studies to analyze the impact at improving fertility outcomes by performing targeted treatments on the area of interest (testes areas in males, lower abdominal area to cover the ovaries in females). This article will “shed some light” (see what we did there?) on the science behind these claims and provide a rationale in why we are including them as a therapeutic service with ASAP IVs.

Say "I Do" to an IV Drip: IV Therapy and Wedding Season
Spring means love is in the air – and, especially for places with moderate spring climates like California and Arizona, that often means: WEDDINGS.

Spring Training and IV Therapy
One of Arizona’s best-loved spring traditions gets going sometime in the near future. That’s right! Opening Day of Spring Training was scheduled to begin on February 26th, though it has been delayed through at least the first week of March due to the lockout.
Regardless of when the season gets going, a spring training game can be a fun way to spend an afternoon enjoying the weather before summer temperatures get here, but it can also take a toll on your health if you aren’t careful. Hours in the sun coupled with alcoholic beverages can leave us feeling a little dehydrated and worse for the wear if we don’t take matters into our hands.

Does Vitamin D Help with Fertility?
Guidelines suggest a daily Vitamin D intake of 400-2000 IU in order to maintain 25(OH)D concentrations of 50-75nmol/L. We recommend a daily Vitamin D intake of 1000-2000 IU to maintain a serum level in this ideal range. If an intramuscular injection is preferred over daily supplement injection (or a quick catch-up period is desired), then a once monthly injection of 50-100k IU is performed every 4 weeks. This recommendation is based on studies showing that an injection of 100k IU peaks at 4 weeks, and then begins to taper (Gorman 2017).

What Supplements or Vitamins Should I Take for IVF?
IVF utilizes medication to increase the number of mature eggs that are available to be fertilized each month. These eggs are extracted and then combined with sperm in a lab to hopefully produce embryos, which are then frozen for later use or transferred to a woman’s uterus a short time after. While a higher number of eggs able to be retrieved is favorable, quality of the eggs is very critical for successful creation of viable embryos. It is important to be aggressive in maximizing the quality of eggs when they are needed, both in a natural conception environment, and more especially for IVF. Egg quality is difficulty to change as a woman’s age increases, though there is plenty of data to support various lifestyle changes for improvements in egg quality. One of these lifestyle changes that can be beneficial is the addition of certain supplements to the diet.

The story of any business (or success story really) would be bland without challenges and obstacles. Nearly every major enterprise started with a work ethic and a garage, working through the challenges which arise and dealing with them one at a time. I knew that starting a business, streamlining its service, and eventually expanding would be difficult. I truthfully say that I have enjoyed the process. The journey is more exciting than the destination.
