How Is IV Therapy Absorption Different From Taking Oral Supplements?
Bigfork, United States - September 24, 2026 / Elysian Institute /
BIGFORK, Mont., September 24, 2026 - Elysian Institute has added a new 30-minute infusion option called the Rapid Reset IV, giving clients a faster path to IV therapy in Bigfork, MT, without the longer time commitment of a standard drip bag or a specialty infusion. The addition follows a steady rise in appointment requests at the Bigfork clinic, particularly among clients trying to fit infusions into tight schedules.
How the Rapid Reset IV Works
Clients choose three ingredients from an approved list. The selected formula is administered using the IV push method rather than a slow drip bag, with the session taking approximately 30 minutes.
Why Infusion Time Varies
Session length at Elysian Institute depends on the formula. Standard drip mixes typically run 60 to 90 minutes, while NAD+ infusions can take one to four hours depending on dose, since higher concentrations are infused slowly for comfort. A retrospective clinical comparison of NAD+ IV and nicotinamide riboside (NR) IV, published in Frontiers in Aging, found that NAD+ infusions took roughly two and a half times as long on average as NR infusions in a small real-world sample, an outcome researchers linked to NAD+'s higher likelihood of causing temporary discomfort during administration.
Why IV Delivery Differs From Oral Supplements
A 2025 clinical review published in Cureus examined how oral nutrients lose potency to stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and liver metabolism before reaching the bloodstream, while intravenous nutrients bypass that process and enter circulation directly. The review noted this advantage is best established for correcting deficiencies or malabsorption issues, and that evidence supporting general wellness use in healthy individuals remains largely anecdotal.
"People started asking for something quick between meetings or before a workout, and that told us they wanted the benefits of IV therapy without blocking off a full hour," said Katelyn Mahlum, APRN, FNP-C, Medical Director at Elysian Institute. "The Rapid Reset IV lets us meet that need without changing how carefully every client is screened."
Client Screening Remains Central
Every client receiving an infusion or injection at Elysian Institute completes a medical intake with a Nurse Practitioner beforehand, a step the clinic requires specifically for its medical therapies rather than for every service on its menu. The clinic said this screening process is unchanged by the new offering.
