FAQS

  • Whether you’re new to IV nutrition or a seasoned veteran, any of the Essential group of formulas are a great place to start. B-Revive is our comprehensive blend of all the activated vitamins and minerals your body needs and is the foundation of almost all of our formulas. Antioxidant Blast adds to this a hefty dose of Vitamin C and 2000 mg of Glutathione for maximum antioxidant protection and is a cornerstone of most preventive wellness protocols. Super immunity doubles down on Vitamin C’s ability to kill viruses with a high dose, combined with extra zinc for immune stimulating and glycyrrizin, the active ingredient in licorice with potent virus-killing power, and can be used both in treatment when sick or for prevention -- before long trips, exposure to a sick contact, or when your immune system is suppressed by poor sleep or high stress.

  • Unfortunately, insurance does not pay for IV nutrition as it is not considered medically necessary nor has its benefits been studied sufficiently by the FDA. It is unlikely such studies will be funded as there is little financial incentive, unlike pharmaceuticals.

  • We currently have 3 chairs in our IV room, and you can schedule up to 3 people at once using or online booking platform. (If you can only schedule 2 online, please call us for manual override). For larger parties, we can reserve our beautiful and spacious waiting room for a maximum of 6 people at once. Any party of more than 3 requires coordination with our staff to reserve the entire space, which is as easy as making a call or sending a text.

  • We at NS drips love parties and will do everything we can to meet your needs. For large groups, we typically stagger drip start times and will reserve the entire space for your party for maximum intimacy and fun. Catering or drinks are also available.

  • Full refund is offered up to 48 hours before your appointment time (72 hours over weekend for Monday appointments). For cancellations inside that window, partial credit may be offered depending on the circumstance.

  • How do I receive nutritional therapy without getting the other clients sick? If you are currently having symptoms, we kindly request you to call our office to coordinate so we can find a time when no other clients are scheduled to minimize contagion. Strict sterilization procedures are in place with time buffers to prevent cross-contamination.

  • After scheduling online and upon arrival at our Princeville clinic, you will be asked to fill out a simple intake form and consent. If it is your first time, a doctor will review your history with you. Then a nurse or staff member will start your IV by placing a plastic catheter in your vein and then start your drip. Most IV’s take 45 minutes to finish.

  • For best results, good hydration and eating a moderate-sized and healthy meal before your drip are encouraged. You may want to minimize eating before NAD+ as some people experience nausea.

  • Renal and heart disease require physician approval, which will be coordinated at the time of your visit. Patients on dialysis, pregnancy, and history of prior allergy to vitamins or nutrients are the only absolute contraindications to receiving a drip and cannot be treated.

  • Dr. Rogoff is available, to both Chrysalis patients and non-Chrysalis members to help customize a protocol that would give you the highest chance of success for your health and wellness goals.

  • That depends on your current state of health and your goals. For patients struggling with poor health, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic infections (Epstein Barr, Lyme), or those with toxicity (mold, heavy metals), weekly drips will offer you the best results with reevaluation every 6 weeks. For healthy clients interested more in prevention and optimizing their wellness, one drip biweekly or monthly is a great maintenance regimen.

  • Absolutely. Packages begin when 4 or more drips are purchased at a time and confer a 10% discount. 6 or more confers a 15% discount. 10 or more confers a 20% discount. Packages are non-refundable.

  • Yes, we offer a handful of drips that are limited in supply and require physician approval. These include IV curcumin for inflammation, piracetam and cerebrolysin for cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer’s, methylene blue for chronic viruses and energy (mitochondria and NAD), and ketamine for chronic anxiety, depression, addiction, and PTSD. Physician consult is required. Simply call, email, or text and we will schedule time for you to meet Dr. Rogoff.

  • B-Revive is a great place to start as nutrient deficiency can be a main cause of fatigue. Drips designed specifically for energy focus on one of two pathways: detox and mitochondria. For detox, CPD detox combines B-Revive with mineral and amino-acid cofactors to optimize the clearance of mitochondrial-depleting toxins. NAD, methylene blue, and ozone all target mitochondrial energy optimization and can be used alone or in combination.

  • Absolutely. IV therapy is ideally suited for “stacking,” or combining two or more infusions in the same day. Take advantage of already having an IV catheter in place and enjoy a 25% discount for subsequent infusions. Ideal stacks include any vitamin drip (R-Revive, Antioxidant Blast, Super Immune, CPD Detox) with any anti-aging drip (ozone, NAD, methylene blue). Or stack multiple anti-aging drips with one another as their effects are synergistic (1+1=3). NAD+ and methylene blue are ideal stacks for optimizing mitochondrial function (energy/detox).

  • Intravenous nutrition is the most potent and direct way to deliver the vitamins, minerals, and molecules your body needs, directly to the level of the capillaries and cells. By bypassing the gut, IV nutrition assures the vitamins, nutrients, and targeted molecules will reach the level where optimal health begins. True health, peak vitality, and a prolonged lifespan can only be achieved with optimized cellular health, with sufficient vitamin and mineral cofactors at its foundation.

  • Beyond the obvious goals of improved physical and mental energy, cellular energy refers to the health of mitochondria, the powerhouses that live inside every one of your cells. It is the mitochondria’s sole purpose to convert food into ATP, the unit of cellular energy that fuels every physiologic process inside your body, like dollars fuel the economy. Nerves, muscles, and, importantly, your body’s ability to detoxify (pesticides, plastics, hormones, toxins) demand the most ATP. When cellular energy falters, these critical systems back up, causing inflammation and oxidative stress that further burdens the mitochondria. Maximal energy production in the form of ATP is best achieved with IV nutrients and cofactors that your mitochondria require.

  • Even the most nutrient-rich diet combined with the most well-intentioned vitamin regimen may not be enough to replenish your body’s cells if the gut is not efficiently absorbing those nutrients. Malabsorptin occurs when the lining of the gut is inflamed, as occurs with stress, toxins, imbalanced microflora, and food intolerances. Stress causes a leaky gut and a shift in bacteria populations. Specific bacteria in the small intestine are required to convert vitamins in foods to the activated vitamins our body needs (B12). Further, overfarming and a mineral-depleted food supply (magnesium, zinc) worsen the problem. Only in delivering these essential nutrients in their activated forms directly to the bloodstream can you be sure that the cells are receiving the vital nourishment they need.

  • Peptides are molecular signals made of amino acids that the body naturally makes to communicate vital messages downstream. Peptide levels decline with age, often before one turns forty. It is no coincidence that these declines parallel our experience of slower healing, increased fatigue, less-restful sleep, slower recovery, inferior performance, weight gain, and a general decline in our vitality and well-being.

    Peptides can be thought of as molecular switches that can alter your physiology by turning on or off specific genes. This type of medicine has been termed “bio-hacking” for its ability to specifically treat disease processes in the same way a surgeon might cut out a specific organ.

    Most peptides can only be delivered via shot or IV since the gut breaks down the singal molecule into amino acids when swallowed. IV is an ideal means of delivering these critical signals to the DNA inside your cells and is a powerful boost to any vitamin or nutrient infusion.

  • NAD+ is a Vitamin B3 derived molecule that is the rate-limiting step in ATP energy production inside the mitochondria. As such, it has been utilized as a super-molecule in increasing mental and physical energy and boosting cellular ATP production that serves to improve detoxification, reduce inflammation, and quench oxidative damage. Besides mitochondrial optimization, NAD+ has a second pathway of promoting health by activating the Sirtuin genes that have been proven to prolong the lifespan (up to 50%) in almost all life forms tested (no human studies to date). This is the same pathway activated by prolonged and intermittent fasting, only more powerful. NAD+ can only be given I.V. as attempts at subcutaneous and intranasal preparations have only delivered variable success. Infusion is limited by its slow delivery, as long as 2 to 4 hours.

  • Supercharged oxygen, or O3, utilizes specialized equipment to add a third oxygen molecule to O2 thus increasing its oxidative quenching capacity by 6 more electrons (from 12 to 18). Ozone has proven powerful in fighting infections, both acute (cellulitis, deep tissue) as well as chronic (EBV, Lyme, CMV, herpes, zoster). It also can be used as an anti-aging/preventive strategy to combat hypoxia, improve athletic performance, and optimize mitochondrial oxygen pools.

  • A neuroprotective molecule that works to fight infection, stimulate mitochondria, and improve intracellular health by reducing free radicals. Optimizes enzyme function inside cells, reduces inflammation, stimulates cellular energy, modulates circadian rhythms (sleep/wake), balances the autonomic nervous system (fight or flight), protects DNA from oxidative stress (anti-cancer), and increases ATP production by helping the body use oxygen safely. Also a potent anti-aging molecule for the reasons above. Combines well with NAD+ and ozone. The ultimate dual therapy in the most aggressive longevity and optimization of vitality protocols. Not to be used if you are on anti-depressant SSRI or SNRI medicines without MD approval.
