Magnesium IV Add-On
$35
An essential mineral involved in muscle function, nerve signaling and energy production.
IV treatment charged separately.
- Normal muscle function
- Normal nerve function
- Energy metabolism
Magnesium contributes to these functions and hundreds of other reactions throughout your body. Our clinical team can help you decide whether additional magnesium is appropriate for your needs.
Magnesium chloride: 1,200 mg added compound dose, mixed directly into your IV bag. The total magnesium content varies with your chosen IV formula.
Magnesium IV Add-On
Magnesium helps your body do the everyday work of moving muscles, sending nerve signals and producing energy. Our Magnesium IV Add-On lets you include this essential mineral in a compatible IV treatment, with personalized guidance from Peak’s nursing team. Available at our Bellingham and Lynden lounges, magnesium is mixed directly into your IV bag.
What Does Magnesium Do?
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzyme systems and contributes to processes such as energy production, muscle relaxation, bone development and normal blood clotting. Its roles and uses include:
- Muscle and nerve function: Helping muscles contract and relax and supporting normal nerve signaling. Low magnesium can contribute to cramps and spasms; whether additional magnesium helps depends on the cause.
- Energy production: Helping cells produce and use ATP, a source of cellular energy.
- Bone health: Contributing to bone structure and helping regulate vitamin D and parathyroid hormone metabolism. Your bones store approximately 50–60% of your body’s magnesium.
- Heart and blood vessel function: Helping maintain normal heart rhythm and supporting blood vessel relaxation and blood pressure regulation. Studies of magnesium supplements have found modest blood pressure reductions in some groups.
- Blood sugar regulation: Helping the body process glucose and respond to insulin. Higher dietary magnesium intake is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes; this does not establish that an IV add-on prevents diabetes.
- Digestion and bowel regularity: Some oral forms, including magnesium citrate and oxide, draw water into the bowel to relieve constipation. This effect depends on magnesium acting in the digestive tract and does not apply in the same way to IV magnesium.
- Sleep and stress response: Magnesium is involved in nervous-system activity and has been studied for sleep, relaxation and the stress response, including cortisol. Oral magnesium glycinate is often used for these goals; research does not establish the same benefits for this IV formulation.
These are magnesium’s roles in the body and findings about different forms of supplementation. Benefits depend on your needs, the formulation and how it is taken; they are not guaranteed effects of this IV add-on.
Is a Magnesium Add-On Right for You?
Your IV should reflect your needs. Whether you’re curious about magnesium or looking to personalize a treatment you already enjoy, our nurses can talk through your options. We’ll review your health history, medications and supplements to determine whether this add-on is suitable for you.
Peak’s usual health intake and vital-sign checks are required; routine lab testing or a confirmed magnesium deficiency are not. Ask your nurse about your goals and what you can expect from treatment.
Important Considerations
- Health and eligibility: Tell us about kidney or heart conditions, low blood pressure or breastfeeding. This add-on is not available during pregnancy or for clients with myxedema, myasthenia gravis, known high magnesium, known low potassium or a cerebral hemorrhage within 30 days.
- Nurse-monitored care: IV magnesium can lower blood pressure. We check vital signs before and after treatment, recheck blood pressure about 15 minutes into the infusion and check in throughout your visit, with additional checks when needed. Tell your nurse immediately about dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, flushing, unusual weakness, breathing difficulty or other new symptoms. Magnesium usually adds no appointment time, but low blood pressure may require a slower or stopped infusion.
- Compatible treatments: Add magnesium to Peak’s nutrient IV bags or NAD+. It cannot be combined with ALA or high-dose vitamin C. Your nurse will account for any magnesium already in your IV.
- Repeat visits: Your team can help plan a schedule. Peak generally permits up to three nutrient IV treatments weekly, with magnesium added when appropriate. More frequent nutrient IV visits require Medical Director approval.
