While research on individual ingredients is evolving, results vary by person and condition; our team frames expectations, reviews medications, and monitors safety. If you’re exploring nutrient optimization, recovery support, or an integrative plan for complex illness, learn how our step-by-step approach can fit your care.
Intravenous (IV) treatment is a cornerstone of holistic medicine, providing a direct and effective method to deliver vital nutrients and therapies into the circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal system.
The treatment is used for various purposes, including reducing systemic inflammation, arterial plaque, pain, and nutritional imbalances, as well as targeting cancer metabolism, biotoxins, viruses, and bacteria, and regulating the immune system.
Additionally, IV therapy can help the body to repair by improving how cells work, encouraging cell repair, increasing oxygen levels, removing toxins (like chemicals and heavy metals), reducing damage from free radicals, fixing cell membranes, and getting rid of old, damaged cells
Treatments
IV therapy
IV therapy delivers nutrients and therapeutic compounds directly into your bloodstream, allowing precise dosing and bypassing the digestive tract. At Mitogenesis in Scottsdale, Arizona, our clinicians personalize each infusion based on your history, goals, and lab markers when indicated. From immune and antioxidant support to membrane repair and metabolic modulation, we select the right IVs and cadence for you—and we pair them with clear preparation and follow-up guidance.
Types of intravenous therapies at Mitogenesis
Who is a candidate?
Patients seeking targeted nutritional or therapeutic support after a clinical review—especially when absorption is a concern or higher concentrations are desired.
Safety, side effects & contraindications
We screen for allergies, kidney/liver concerns, pregnancy, anticoagulants, and drug–nutrient interactions. Temporary effects may include local soreness, metallic taste, or fatigue.
What to expect
Before: hydration, a light meal, and medication review. During: 30–120 minutes depending on the IV. After: hydration and activity as tolerated; clinicians advise on next steps.
We offer several IVs at Mitogenesis. However, we customize all IVs to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Botanical IV Therapy
There are many beneficial botanical IVs used in Mitogenesis. Some examples include quercetin, EGCG, curcumin, artemisinin, and resveratrol.
Amino acid-based intravenous therapies
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are essential for the basic functionality of our bodies. Due to this, intravenous amino acids —since they bypass the digestive tract— offer many benefits:
- Optimal mitochondrial function
- Regulation of apoptosis and autophagy
- Counteracting epigenetic influences.
- Influencing electron transport pathways.
- Managing cellular senescence.
- Leverage the body's innate ability to helps itself.
- Address the root causes for comprehensive repairing.
- Synergistic effect with other treatments and lifestyle choices.
- Regulation of the immune system
- Reduction of inflammation
- Optimization of immune function
- Anti-aging effects
- Antimicrobial properties
- Anti-inflammatory
Nutritional intravenous therapies
In addition to amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are also beneficial therapies for cancer, CIRS, and autoimmune diseases.
Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant to help neutralize harmful free radicals and minimize oxidative stress. Vitamin C not only supports the immune system but also reduces inflammation and possesses antiviral and anticancer properties.
Studies indicate that high-dose intravenous vitamin C causes apoptosis of cancer cells, slows tumor growth, inhibits hyaluronidase (an enzyme used by tumors to metastasize), induces intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide (which is toxic to cancer cells due to their deficiency in the enzyme catalase), and reduces the likelihood of coinfections.
Beyond its applications for cancer, intravenous vitamin C has antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties, strengthening the body's defenses against infections. This makes vitamin C an important treatment for people with chronic viral infections, Lyme disease, CIRS, and mold toxicity. Additionally, vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
PC, or phosphatidylcholine, a phospholipid, is a vital part of cell membranes. In the case of chronic and acute diseases, the amount of PC in the cell membrane decreases, affecting many cellular functions. Therefore, intravenous phosphatidylcholine is essential for repairing the integrity of the cell membrane.
PC not only repairs cell membranes but also improves skin appearance and removes residue from fatty plaques in the arteries. It improves blood flow and reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that is mainly found in the liver. It is composed of three amino acids (glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid) and acts like a magnet for toxins and free radicals, facilitating their elimination from the body.
Glutathione dedicates its efforts to combating free radicals and revitalizing damaged cells, especially those affected by disease processes. Beyond this reparative function, glutathione promotes the proliferation of mitochondria, rejuvenating aging cells and invigorating the immune system.
Glutathione improves the functioning of white blood cells, increasing their number and effectiveness, and enhancing the production and activity of natural killer (NK) cells. These two mechanisms significantly enhance the activity of immune cells, synergizing the power of antioxidants with their functionality. This antioxidant excels in purifying liver toxins, making it an excellent supportive therapy alongside various detoxification treatments.
Photoluminescence Blood Therapy
We use Hemealuemn, a therapy with multiple colors of light, to improve the effects of different IV treatments, fight various germs, and help your cells produce energy by shining UVA, UVC, amber, green, and blue lights on your blood.
