According to ScienceDirect, IV therapy has been around since the 1830s. What started as a basic method for fluid replacement has evolved into a modern wellness tool used to support immunity, energy, recovery, and overall vitality.
As IV drips become more popular, many people wonder: are the add-ons really worth it? Or are they just optional extras? At Biofuse, add-ons are designed to help you personalize your IV therapy experience. In this post, we’ll walk through our most commonly requested add-ons and explain what they’re used for—so you can make informed decisions during your next visit.

What Are IV Add-Ons and Why Do People Use Them?
IV add-ons are concentrated nutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, or medications added to your base drip to enhance its effects. They’re selected based on your specific wellness goals—whether that’s improving energy, supporting liver health, relieving inflammation, or recovering faster after stress or illness.
Clients often ask for add-ons when they:
Want to feel better faster after travel, workouts, or illness
Need support with headaches, nausea, or low energy
Want to support long-term wellness through nutrient optimization
