Open an IV Therapy Clinic
With One of the Lowest Barriers to Entry.
Drip bars, immune support and recovery infusions, with NAD+ as the premium tier, built on protocols that hold up to scrutiny.
Book a Strategy CallIV Therapy Demand Is Real.
The Menu Decides Who Wins.
IV therapy has moved from niche recovery treatment to mainstream consumer health. Monthly U.S. searches for IV therapy, IV hydration and IV drips each run 10,000 to 100,000 (Google Keyword Planner).
Entry barriers are lower here than in many categories: modest equipment, a straightforward menu and patients who already understand IV therapy.
ACG helps you launch a wellness clinic of your own, without the lifetime royalties of an IV therapy franchise.
IV therapy works as a standalone clinic and as an add-on for a longevity, hormone or aesthetics clinic, and can be an early source of cash flow.
What an IV Therapy Clinic Offers Patients
Foundational drips to premium infusions, serving casual consumers and performance-focused patients from the same chair.
Myers' Cocktail, high-dose vitamin C, B-complex, and magnesium. The entry point for many new IV patients: high volume, fast turnaround, strong reorder rate.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a high-ticket tier that complements foundational drips. It is compounded under FDA's interim policy for substances under evaluation; FDA proposed in 2019 not to add it to the 503A list, a rule not yet final.
High-dose vitamin C, zinc, and glutathione. Seasonal demand spikes create predictable high-volume windows.
Hydration, amino acid and electrolyte infusions for recovery after events or workouts, a natural partnership with gyms.
MIC injections, lipotropic blends and metabolic support infusions, a natural add-on for a medical weight loss clinic.
Licensed nurses deliver infusions to homes, offices and hotels, at premium prices and with lower fixed overhead. State rules on mobile administration vary.
Why ACG Does Not Build IV Clinics on EBOO or Ozone.
EBOO, extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation, comes up constantly, usually because a competitor advertises it or a vendor pitched it. We steer clients away from it, and would rather explain why than quietly leave it off the menu.
The FDA classifies ozone under 21 CFR 801.415 as a toxic gas with no known useful medical application. No ozone therapy device is FDA-approved. In July 2025 the agency issued a warning letter over the distribution of unapproved autohemotherapy and EBOO devices. EBOO is not FDA-approved for any condition and remains experimental.
A premium tier that rests on an unapproved device is not a differentiator. It is a liability with a price list attached.
The goal behind EBOO is usually a high-ticket premium tier. NAD+ already does that job with no unapproved device in the room, and high-dose vitamin C, glutathione and memberships fill out the premium end.
If you offer ozone anyway, that is your call and your Medical Director's. State positions vary, and neither ACG nor your marketing can claim what it treats.
Current as of October 2026. Verify with your Medical Director, your state board and qualified counsel before any clinical or equipment decision. ACG is a business consulting firm; this is not legal, medical, or regulatory advice.
IV Therapy Clinic Consulting,
From Market to Opening Day
From market review to opening day, ACG sets up what an IV clinic needs before its first patient.
Sterile preparation is where many IV clinics get caught: compounding standards, beyond-use dating and documentation turn a routine inspection into a problem.
Every IV service needs a licensed prescriber's order and medical oversight. ACG introduces vetted Medical Directors with IV experience, matched to your state and menu.
Who can start IVs, and what exam and supervision come first, varies by state; Texas and Maine tightened their rules in 2025 and 2026. ACG maps them for your location.
Every protocol is checked against its regulatory footing (approved, compoundable or off-label) before it is priced. Unapproved devices never make an ACG-built menu.
ACG connects clients to pre-vetted compounding pharmacy partners for custom IV formulations at preferred portfolio pricing.
Informed consent, patient-specific orders, emergency protocols and treatment documentation, structured to protect the clinic and meet state board requirements.
