Wellness Infusions at Kismet
Nourish the Body. Support the Healing.
Kismet Wellness Infusions are carefully researched and designed by our medical team to boost your health and improve healing. Research has shown that vitamins and fluids given as IV infusions have a 95% bioavailability compared to approximately 30% when taken orally. IV infusion drips are the fastest way for the body to absorb what it needs for nutrition balancing, athletic recovery, hangover recovery, electrolyte balancing, or as an adjunct therapy to ketamine infusions. Wellness and vitamin infusions last between 30-60 minutes, and healing results last for approximately 4-6 weeks for most clients. Your medical professional will help match your specific needs to a wellness infusion that is right for you, here in Frederick, Maryland.
Your Body Is Part of the Healing Too
Most people who come to Kismet come because something is not working. The anxiety won’t let up. The depression has its hooks in deep. The trauma lives in places that talking alone hasn’t been able to reach. And they are right to focus there — those are real, serious things that deserve serious treatment.
But healing is not only a psychological event. It is a biological one. The brain is an organ. The nervous system runs on chemistry. And the body — the one that carries all of it — needs to be nourished, hydrated, and supported at a cellular level if any of the other work is going to stick.
Wellness infusions are one of the most direct ways to do exactly that. They deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and restorative compounds straight into the bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system entirely — so that what your body actually needs arrives where it is actually needed. Quickly. Efficiently. And in concentrations that oral supplements simply cannot match.
At Kismet, wellness infusions are not an add-on or a side offering. They are a meaningful part of how we think about whole-person care. For some clients, a wellness infusion is the first step — a way to give the body a foundation strong enough to support what comes next. For others, it is an ongoing tool woven into a broader treatment plan that includes ketamine therapy, trauma psychotherapy, and psychiatric medication management. And for some, it is simply a way to take care of themselves in a setting where they already feel seen and supported.
Why IV Infusions Work Differently Than Supplements
When you swallow a vitamin or mineral supplement, it takes a long and complicated journey before it reaches your cells. It has to survive stomach acid, move through the intestines, get absorbed through the gut wall, and then pass through the liver before it ever enters your bloodstream. Along the way, a significant amount of it is lost. Research suggests that oral supplements typically deliver somewhere between 20 and 50 percent of their stated dose to the bloodstream — and for people with digestive issues, that number drops further.
An intravenous infusion skips all of that. Nutrients delivered by IV go directly into the bloodstream, where they are immediately available to every cell in the body. The result is close to 100 percent bioavailability — meaning your body actually gets what it needs, not just a fraction of it. And because the delivery is direct, the effects are often felt the same day rather than after weeks of consistent supplementation.
This is not a wellness trend without a foundation. IV vitamin therapy has been used in medical settings for decades to treat deficiencies, support immune function, and restore cellular balance in patients who cannot absorb nutrients adequately through food or oral supplements. The science behind the delivery method is well established. What has changed in recent years is the broader recognition that this kind of targeted, high-bioavailability nutrient support has value outside of hospital settings — for people who are healing, recovering, or simply trying to give their body the best possible conditions to do its work.
Each wellness infusion session at Kismet lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Most clients find the sessions genuinely restorative — a quiet hour in a calm, clinical environment where the only requirement is that they rest. Results typically last four to six weeks for most clients, though some benefit from coming in more regularly depending on their goals and overall health picture.
Our Wellness Infusions
Our medical team has carefully designed each infusion formula based on research and clinical experience. Each one targets a specific set of needs, and your provider will help you determine which one — or which combination — makes the most sense for where you are right now.
NAD+ — short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — is a compound present in nearly every cell in the human body. It plays a central role in energy production, DNA repair, and the health of the brain. The problem is that NAD+ levels decline naturally with age. And when NAD+ drops, everything that depends on it drops with it: energy, cognitive clarity, cellular resilience, and the body's ability to repair itself.
NAD+ infusions work at the cellular level to replenish what time has taken away. They support brain function and overall neurological health, combat the fatigue that comes from chronically low cellular energy, and activate enzymes involved in DNA repair and cell regeneration. For people dealing with depression, anxiety, or chronic fatigue, NAD+ has shown particular promise — the compound promotes healthy growth and communication within brain cells in ways that can meaningfully shift how a person feels.
NAD+ is also one of the most clinically interesting wellness infusions for clients who are actively engaged in ketamine therapy. Ketamine creates a window of neuroplasticity — a period when the brain is more open to change and new connections. NAD+ supports the brain's capacity to do that work by fueling the cellular processes that make regeneration possible. Together, they are a powerful combination. NAD+ infusions contain Magnesium and Vitamin B Complex alongside the NAD+ itself.
The Myers' Cocktail is one of the most well-established IV formulas in integrative medicine, with decades of clinical use and a solid evidence base behind it. Named after Dr. John Myers, the physician who pioneered it in the 1970s, this infusion replenishes essential vitamins and minerals that most people are chronically low in — even when they eat well and take supplements.
The formula contains Calcium Gluconate, Magnesium Chloride, Methylcobalamin (a highly absorbable form of B12), Pyridoxine, Dexpanthenol, Thiamine, Riboflavin-5-phosphate, and Niacinamide. That combination strengthens immune function, reduces fatigue, relieves recurring migraines, helps with asthma, and supports the body's response to seasonal allergies. Clients who receive it regularly often describe feeling a sustained sense of vitality — not a jolt of artificial energy, but a steadier, fuller sense of being well. For anyone navigating a demanding period of life — physically, emotionally, or both — the Myers' Cocktail is one of the most reliable ways to give the body what it needs to keep going.
This wellness infusion uses minerals and compounds shown to improve the healthy functioning of the immune system and peripheral nervous system. Clients suffering from nerve pain disorders, balance problems, or numbness/tingling in the extremities have found benefits with this healing infusion.

Often called the "mother of all antioxidants," Glutathione is incredibly important for maintaining proper body functions as it detoxifies the system of damaging metals, like lead, mercury and arsenic. Glutathione can also prevent and reverse alcohol-induced fatty liver, cirrhosis, or hepatitis. Additionally, Glutathione plays a vital role in healthy cell production, and has become known for promoting brighter, glowing skin.

Vitamin C is one of the most studied nutrients in human health — and the research consistently shows that in high doses delivered directly to the bloodstream, it does things that an oral supplement simply cannot replicate. It stimulates the production and function of white blood cells, supports the skin's barrier against infection, and acts as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage. Paired with Zinc Chloride, which plays a central role in immune cell development and inflammatory response, this infusion delivers a concentrated immune-strengthening dose that the digestive system cannot match on its own.
The Vitamin C Immunity Booster is ideal for clients who are run down, fighting something off, heading into a season of high stress, or simply wanting to give their immune system an aggressive and targeted lift. It is fast, clean, and effective.
Kismet Wellness Injections
Vitamin B12 is essential for nearly every system in the body. It supports red blood cell production, healthy nerve function, DNA synthesis, and the conversion of food into usable energy. When B12 levels drop — which happens more often than most people realize, particularly in adults over 50, vegetarians and vegans, people with digestive conditions, and those managing chronic stress — the effects show up as persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, difficulty concentrating, and numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. The problem with oral B12 supplements is that absorbing them requires the stomach to produce enough acid and a specific protein called intrinsic factor. When that process is compromised, very little of what you swallow actually reaches the bloodstream. An intramuscular injection bypasses digestion entirely, delivering close to 100 percent of the dose directly into circulation. Many clients notice improved energy and mental clarity within 24 to 48 hours. B12 plays a direct role in neurotransmitter production — the chemistry that regulates mood, focus, and emotional resilience — making it a particularly meaningful support for anyone navigating depression, anxiety, or the demands of active trauma work. At Kismet, B12 injections are available as a standalone service or as part of a broader wellness plan. The injection takes only a few minutes and is well tolerated by most clients.
Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant — a compound produced naturally in every cell that neutralizes free radicals, supports the liver in filtering out toxins and heavy metals, reduces systemic inflammation, and protects the brain from oxidative damage. The body makes it on its own, but levels decline steadily with age, stress, illness, and environmental exposure. Chronic psychological stress — the kind that accompanies trauma, depression, and PTSD — is particularly depleting. Research has consistently found lower glutathione levels in people with major depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD, and there is growing evidence that oxidative stress in the brain is a meaningful driver of psychiatric symptoms. Oral glutathione supplements are largely broken down by the digestive system before they reach the bloodstream, which makes injection the far more effective delivery method. An intramuscular glutathione injection delivers the compound directly into circulation, where it is available to the liver, the immune system, and the brain. Clients often report reduced brain fog, improved energy, and a general sense of decreased internal tension within days of consistent use. Skin benefits — including a more even tone and improved radiance — are also commonly noted over time. Glutathione injections are a natural complement to ketamine therapy, supporting the brain's antioxidant defenses during the neuroplastic window ketamine opens, and to trauma therapy, where reducing systemic inflammation can lower the body's baseline reactivity and make deep therapeutic work more tolerable.

Wellness Infusions as Part of Your Care at Kismet
The way we think about wellness infusions at Kismet is the same way we think about everything we offer: as a tool, not a prescription. Not every client needs one. Not every client who gets one needs it as part of a larger treatment plan. But for many people, the connection between body-level support and psychological healing is more direct than they realize — and wellness infusions are one of the clearest ways to address that connection.
Trauma lives in the body. This is not a metaphor. It is physiology. Chronic stress and trauma dysregulate the nervous system, deplete essential nutrients, create systemic inflammation, and exhaust the cellular machinery that underlies mood, cognition, and resilience. A person who is nutritionally depleted, chronically inflamed, or running on a body that has been in survival mode for years is going to have a harder time in therapy, a harder time stabilizing on medications, and a harder time using the neuroplastic window that ketamine opens.
Wellness infusions address that reality at the level of the body itself. They do not replace the psychological work. They support the conditions under which that work can actually take root.
Paired with Ketamine Therapy
For clients engaged in ketamine infusion therapy or oral ketamine treatment at Kismet, wellness infusions — particularly NAD+ — offer a meaningful complement. Ketamine works in part by promoting neuroplasticity: the brain’s capacity to form new connections and break out of entrenched patterns. NAD+ fuels the cellular processes that make that kind of regeneration possible. Taken together, they create conditions where the brain is not only open to change but equipped with the raw materials to sustain it.
Our medical team coordinates wellness infusions with your ketamine treatment schedule when appropriate, so that timing is intentional rather than incidental. This is what integrated care looks like in practice — not just offering multiple services under one roof, but thinking carefully about how those services interact and support each other.
Paired with Trauma Psychotherapy
Deep trauma work is demanding — on the psyche and on the body. EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems therapy all involve engaging directly with material that the nervous system has been protecting for years. That kind of work takes a toll, and it requires a nervous system that has enough resources to tolerate the process without collapsing under it. Wellness infusions that target inflammation, nervous system support, and cellular energy can help provide that physiological foundation.
Clients who come in for psychotherapy at Kismet and also receive wellness infusions often report being able to tolerate more in their sessions, recovering more quickly between appointments, and feeling more grounded in their bodies during the work. That is not coincidence. It is the body having what it needs to show up.
Paired with Psychiatric Medication Management
Psychiatric medications are powerful tools — but they work within a biological context. A body that is depleted, inflamed, or poorly nourished is not an ideal environment for medications to do their best work. Certain nutrient deficiencies, particularly in B vitamins and magnesium, are directly linked to mood regulation, sleep quality, and the metabolic pathways that psychiatric medications rely on. Wellness infusions that replenish these key compounds can support medication efficacy and overall treatment response.
Our prescribers and our medical team communicate about this. When a client is receiving both medication management and wellness infusions, we are thinking about how those two pieces of care interact — just as we think about how every piece of care interacts with every other. That is the Kismet model.
You Don’t Have to Be in Treatment to Come
Wellness infusions at Kismet are available to anyone. You do not need to be a ketamine client. You do not need to be in therapy with us. You do not need to be managing a psychiatric diagnosis.
Some of our wellness infusion clients come because they are athletes who want to recover faster. Some come because they are going through a hard stretch of life and want to give their body some support. Some come because they have chronic health conditions that leave them depleted, and IV delivery is simply more effective for them than oral supplementation. Some come because they tried it once and noticed they felt better — and they want to keep feeling that way.
All of those are good enough reasons. You are welcome here regardless of what brings you.
A Note on Our Approach
Kismet was built on the belief that real healing requires addressing the whole person — mind, body, and nervous system. Wellness infusions represent one piece of that commitment: the recognition that what happens at the cellular level matters, that the body deserves care that is as intentional and evidence-informed as the psychological work, and that people healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and the weight of difficult lives deserve access to every tool that might help.
Frequently Asked Questions
When you swallow a supplement, it has to survive digestion before any of it reaches your bloodstream. That process significantly reduces how much your body actually absorbs — typically somewhere between 20 and 50 percent. An IV infusion delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. The result is close to 100 percent absorption, which means your body gets far more of what it needs than any oral supplement can provide.
Most wellness infusion sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on which formula you receive. Results typically last four to six weeks for most clients. Some clients come in monthly as part of an ongoing wellness routine; others come in at specific points during a demanding period of treatment or life. Your provider will help you figure out what makes sense for your situation.
Yes. Before your first infusion, our medical team will review your health history to make sure the infusion you are considering is appropriate for you. This is a standard part of how we practice — we do not administer any treatment without understanding the person receiving it. The consultation process is straightforward and usually takes place before or at your first appointment.
Most insurance plans do not cover elective wellness infusions. We recommend checking with your provider if you have specific questions about your coverage. We are transparent about our pricing and will make sure you understand the cost before any service is provided.
In some cases, yes — but this depends on which infusions are involved and where you are in your ketamine treatment. Our medical team will help you determine the safest and most effective scheduling. NAD+ infusions, in particular, are often used in coordination with ketamine therapy, and our team will think carefully about timing when both are part of your care plan
NAD+ infusion therapy has a strong safety profile and has been used clinically for years. Like all IV therapies, it carries the small risks associated with any intravenous procedure — minor bruising, discomfort at the infusion site, or rare allergic reactions. Our medical team monitors every session. Some clients experience mild side effects like flushing or a temporary feeling of warmth during NAD+ infusions, which typically resolve quickly. We will walk you through what to expect before your appointment.
Simply let us know at your next appointment or contact us directly. Adding wellness infusions to an existing care plan is straightforward. Our team will review your current treatment, discuss which infusion options might be most supportive given where you are in your healing, and help you schedule accordingly.
Wellness infusions are available to anyone, regardless of whether you are currently using other services at Kismet. You are welcome to contact us directly to schedule a consultation and first appointment. If you decide later that you want to explore our other offerings, that conversation will be there when you are ready.
