An IV bar like Onus IV Therapy + Longevity is where medical professionals administer IV infusions of fluids, vitamins, and minerals to support hydration, recovery, wellness, and overall longevity. Here's how it works, what a session actually feels like, and why so many athletes, busy professionals, and travelers make it part of their fall routine.
Onus iV has locations in Denver, Boulder and Greenwood Village, Wheat Ridge, Highlands Ranch, and Fort Collins, Colorado. A hydration therapy session at Onus iV involves a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals infused directly into the bloodstream and a comfortable space to sit back and relax in.
YOGA + Life connected with Onus iV to learn more about the benefits of hydration therapy and how it can benefit one’s wellness routine this season.
“I’ve now received three IVs by the awesome folk at Onus, and each time I walk out of their office feeling like The Hulk. I’ve used their service both to fight off soul-crushing hangovers as well as to tune my meat machine up for important athletic endeavors (like a four-month backpacking trip). Works wonders for both. Highly recommended.” ~ Zach Davis
An IV bar provides IV hydration therapy with infusions of fluids, vitamins, and minerals in a comfortable lounge setting or through mobile IV services that come to you. IV therapy isn't new. It dates back to the 1950s and the original Myers Cocktail, formulated with Calcium, Magnesium, B Vitamins & Vitamin C to help with migraines, fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, cardiovascular concerns, and dehydration.
Cold and flu season and Colorado's climate stack the deck against you:
Hydration plays a crucial role in supporting immune function and overall health, and staying ahead of it through fall helps maintain optimal hydration and combat fatigue during busy schedules.
A liter of saline restores fluid and electrolyte balance more efficiently than drinking alone, so IV support can complement drinking fluids when faster rehydration is needed, with less GI distress for many people.
Because saline matches the osmolarity of plasma in your cells, IV hydration delivers fluids, electrolytes, B vitamins, vitamin C, amino acids, and additional vitamins directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption, which can support the body at the cellular level while bypassing limitations of the digestive system. That supports:
Vitamin C supports collagen formation and boosts immune defenses.
Glutathione is considered a master antioxidant for cellular health and enhances the body's ability to neutralize toxins.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid helps neutralize free radicals and may help maintain healthy skin and blood sugar levels. Pro-Tip: If you’re interested in ALA, reach out prior to your appointment, as our team may need to custom order it for you!
A note on the evidence: IV therapy has validated medical uses for people with nutrient absorption issues. Medical organizations note that proven benefits for otherwise healthy individuals are more limited.
Not every drip does the same job. For fall, most clients start with formulas selected around specific wellness goals, whether that means immunity, recovery, energy, or hydration.

Onus is one of the few IV bars offering NAD+, an essential coenzyme for cellular energy production. Our bodies retain it less effectively as we age — part of why kids seem to have limitless energy and adults feel wrung out by 3 p.m. Some clients also pair IVs with vitamin injections for more targeted support.
Vitamin B12 injections can support energy, cognitive function, and muscle function. Alpha-Lipoic Acid helps neutralize free radicals and supports cellular energy.
Supplementing NAD+ may support:
Built on ER standards. Our medical director is a board-certified ER physician, and we only hire staff with 2+ years of emergency care experience. Most of our team performs 10–30 IV starts a day. Onus also offers advanced therapies designed to support broader wellness objectives. We can also support weight loss with customized plans built around individual needs and challenges. As part of a supervised plan, injections may help regulate appetite and promote fullness.
These programs can enhance overall body function and may support healing while helping with weight management. Lipolean & GLP1 injections support fat metabolism, enhance energy levels, and aid weight management. Vitamin D injections support bone health and immune function. Glutathione injections enhance detoxification and cellular health.
The B.O.S.S. delivery system. Most clinics take a "set it and forget it" approach. Our proprietary system respects your time, your comfort, and the efficiency you'd expect from a real investment in your health, helping you maintain progress over time toward optimal health.
We screen for medical conditions to help match treatment to your individual needs and wellness journey, and risks can include infection, vein irritation, and fluid overload. If you're strongly needle-averse, this may not be your thing (though it's simpler than giving blood).
It tends to be a great fit if you're:
