Both are given through an IV. Both are offered at iCRYO Mauldin. But ozone UV IV and standard vitamin drips are completely different treatments.
Here's how they compare.
Quick answer: A standard IV drip adds fluids, vitamins and minerals to your bloodstream for hydration, energy and immune support. Ozone UV IV draws a small amount of your blood, treats it with medical-grade ozone and UV light and returns it. Standard drips have broader use; ozone UV IV requires more screening and has more limited research.
How a Standard IV Drip Works
A bag of sterile fluid with vitamins, minerals and electrolytes flows into your vein over about 30–60 minutes.
Used for: hydration, energy, immune support, recovery.

How Ozone UV IV Works
A small amount of your blood is drawn, mixed with medical-grade ozone, passed through UV light and returned through the IV in a closed, sterile system.
Used for: immune and wellness support.
