For your safety we do require some basic labs prior to your first infusion session (we require labs even for boosters). Infusions are so safe because you really can’t “overdose” on the vitamins and minerals that are being infused which is because if your body doesn’t need them, you will just excrete them in your urine. Think of your kidneys as a safety feature, if your bucket is already full of Vitamin C, your kidneys will just drain the excess so you don’t overflow. To do this, your kidneys need to be healthy and we will be sure of this by checking a few labs.
For most of our infusions we just draw a CBC (complete blood count) and CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) which costs $10.50 at the time of service. We are mainly checking on the functioning of your kidneys, but at the same time, these two baseline tests will tell us a lot about your system and overall health and we can use this information to further customize your infusions and boosters.
Check out our diagnostics page for more information about what we can learn from your CBC and CMP results!
If you will be receiving an infusion or mini that is considered “oxidative”, like our BioImmune with Hi-Dose Vitamin C, or BioOzone, for example, three initial labs are required, a CBC, CMP, and G6PD ($33.00 for these three labs).
Now we are getting a little fancy, but for these oxidative therapies, basically the nutrients add oxygen to cells which “detoxes” them in a sense. We just have to make sure you have G6PD, or glucose-6-phosphate-dehydronase, to protect your cells from being broken down by the powerful oxidants! It is very interesting and mind-jumbling, so if you would like to learn more about this lab and why it’s important and what it can tell us about you, check it out here!
