Vitamin IV Therapy — Glutathione, Vitamin C & More

Hotze Health & Wellness Center offers intravenous vitamin therapy for established patients at its Katy location near Houston. Four formulations are available: Glutathione for antioxidant support and cellular detoxification, high-dose Vitamin C for immune function and tissue repair, Alpha Lipoic Acid as a combined fat- and water-soluble antioxidant, and UVB Light Therapy for its antimicrobial properties. IV therapy is reserved for active patients of the center, integrating with their existing hormone and wellness protocols.

Intravenous vitamin therapy at Hotze Health & Wellness Center is offered as a targeted adjunct to the clinic's functional medicine programmes, available to active patients at the Katy location serving the Houston metro area. The rationale is straightforward: oral supplementation is subject to gastrointestinal absorption limits, whereas intravenous delivery ensures near-complete bioavailability — making IV therapy particularly useful for patients with absorption issues, high oxidative stress loads, or specific deficiency profiles identified through prior testing. Glutathione, often described as the body's master antioxidant, is the most requested infusion at the clinic. Produced naturally in every cell, glutathione levels decline with age, chronic illness, toxin exposure, and poor nutrition. IV glutathione is used to support cellular detoxification, reduce oxidative damage, and assist liver function — particularly relevant for patients undergoing hormone replacement who want to optimise metabolic clearance. High-dose Vitamin C infusions are indicated for immune support and tissue repair, with doses achievable through IV far exceeding what oral supplementation can deliver without gastrointestinal side effects. The clinic administers Vitamin C in the context of its broader immune and longevity protocols. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is notable for its dual solubility — it works in both fat and water environments, unlike most antioxidants that operate in only one. ALA supports mitochondrial energy production, peripheral nerve health, and glucose metabolism, making it relevant for patients managing metabolic concerns alongside hormone therapy. UVB Light Therapy infusions (ultraviolet blood irradiation) are offered for their reported antimicrobial and immune-modulating properties. This modality is less common in conventional medicine but has a long clinical history in integrative and functional medicine settings. All IV therapy at Hotze Health & Wellness Center is restricted to established patients, ensuring that the infusion is contextualised within a known health history and existing treatment plan. Patients travelling from Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands access the Braidwood Drive suite for these sessions.
