An Athletic Performance IV Drip is a specialized hydration and nutrient infusion designed to support the intense physical demands of training and competition. While similar to a burnout drip, it swaps "calming" ingredients for "repair" and "energy-output" ingredients like amino acids and antioxidants

Formula Recipe

Normal SALINE

What it is

During intense exercise, blood is diverted away from the stomach toward the muscles. This makes it difficult to absorb oral supplements or large amounts of water without feeling nauseous. The IV ensures the heart and muscles get exactly what they need instantly.

Benefits

• Faster Muscle Recovery: Amino acids provide the building blocks to repair micro-tears in muscle fibers caused by heavy lifting or endurance training.
• Enhanced Stamina: B-vitamins help the mitochondria (the power plants of your cells) produce energy more efficiently during exercise.
• Cellular Hydration: IV fluids hydrate the cells much faster than drinking water, which helps maintain blood volume and prevents mid-workout cramping.

Who is it good for

• Endurance Athletes: Marathoners, triathletes, and cyclists who lose massive amounts of fluids and minerals through sweat.
• Strength & Power Athletes: Bodybuilders or CrossFitters who need rapid amino acid delivery for muscle synthesis.
• The "Weekend Warrior": People who are highly active on weekends but need to be mentally and physically "sharp" for work on Monday.
• Tactical Professionals: Firefighters or police who work in high-heat or physically grueling environments.
• Athletes and physically active individuals: To improve energy, enhance recovery, and support muscle protein synthesis.
• People experiencing fatigue or low energy: To boost energy levels and improve overall vitality.
• Individuals recovering from surgery or illness: To aid in tissue repair and support the immune system.
• Those with deficiencies or imbalances: To address nutrient deficiencies and restore electrolyte balance.

When is it used

• Pre-Event "Priming" (1–2 days before): To ensure the body is hyper-hydrated and "topped off" with B vitamins for energy metabolism before a race or game.
• Immediate Post-Event (0–24 hours after): This is the most effective window for flushing out metabolic waste (like lactic acid) and rehydrating cells faster than drinking water allows.
• During "Hell Weeks": Used during periods of exceptionally high-intensity training to prevent the immune system from crashing.

Side Effects

Common (Mild)

• Muscle Heaviness: A temporary feeling of "fullness" or heaviness in the arm receiving the IV.
• Coldness: Saline is usually room temperature, which is lower than body temperature, making the athlete feel chilled.
• Increased Urination: The kidneys will quickly process the extra fluid volume.

Specific to Athletes

• Vein Scarring: Frequent IV use can lead to "tough" veins or scarring (sclerosis), making future IVs or blood draws harder.
• Electrolyte Imbalance: If the drip is not balanced correctly, it can actually disrupt the natural electrolyte ratio needed for muscle firing.

Rare/Serious

• Infection: Risk at the injection site.
• WADA/Anti-Doping Rules: For professional athletes, the volume of the IV (regardless of the ingredients) can sometimes violate anti-doping regulations if it exceeds 100mL per 12-hour period.

Contraindications

While generally safe, IV drips are typically not recommended for individuals with certain pre-existing conditions, such as

Severe kidney disease or renal failure. Uncontrolled hypertension or severe heart conditions. Certain allergies to the ingredients in the formula.
