PRIME IV

Hydration Haven Health awaits with Prime IV’s wide variety of treatments

By Edward Novak, Contributing Writer Photos by Malaina Kinne

ou probably aren’t drinking enough water. Very few of us are! Drinking 12 to 15 cups of water a day is honestly a chore, and who has the time to make that many trips to the kitchen sink for a refill? As a result, most of us aren’t operating at full capacity. We’re a little more tired than we should be, a little crankier or a little slower to pick up on things. Our work and our social lives might suffer as a result. So what can we do to make sure we’re properly hydrating ourselves? Prime IV might be the solution we need. Originally founded in Colorado Springs, Prime IV has expanded throughout the United States, providing intravenous hydration treatments that can boost your immune system, help you recover from illness and improve your overall health. Yes, “intravenous.” The idea may sound unusual, but IVs aren’t just for use in a hospital! “Not a lot of people in the Pacific Northwest are familiar with IV infusions,” says Amber Primbs, owner of the new Prime IV location in Tualatin that opened 12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

in September 2023. However, the vast majority of American adults (87%) are chronically dehydrated, and even more (92%) are suffering from at least one mineral or vitamin deficiency. These deficiencies can lead to health complications, increase the impact of side effects caused by aging and generally hurt one’s quality of life. Even if you regularly take vitamin supplements, your body only absorbs a fraction of what you swallow. An IV infusion, however, is completely absorbed, working quickly to give you an energy boost and staying in your system for up to three weeks. Prime IV offers a variety of treatments, including vitamin injections, zero-gravity massage chairs and oxygen treatments. They also offer NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) infusion therapy, which can be used to combat addiction and aging. Their excellent team of nurses is experienced, knowledgeable and committed to providing an exceptional customer experience; they want their clients to feel like they’re on a “one-hour vacation” once they step through the clinic’s doors. Prime IV also accepts HSA/ FSA as payment. In honor of its grand opening in Tualatin, Prime IV is offering a discount on its membership program, as well as on its vitamin injection and hydration treatments. You can give Prime IV a call at (503) 437-9207, or book an appointment online through their website (primeivhydration.com/locations/oregon/tualatin-97062).

We accept HSA/FSA.

WHY DRIP?

I had a wonderful experience, staff was very nice and Angie, the RN, is very kind and knowledgeable. I arrived home and was very relaxed and woke up with lots of energy. One of the best businesses to have nearby if you want to try a new approach to health. I almost forgot, the massage chairs…simply heavenly! I can go back just for the chairs but I will definitely go back for those beneficial treatments.

My first experience at Prime IV Tualatin was amazing! Since it’s brand new, I expected it to be nice, but it far exceeded my expectations. My wife didn’t really want to come with me, but now she wants to be a member and has raved to me about how she felt like “it was a day at the spa!” From the moment we entered the front door, the receptionist was extremely kind and inviting, treating us like royalty. The hospitality was off the charts. The treatment itself was fantastic and I felt like a million bucks afterwards. I live in Salem and have a long commute, but it’s worth the drive, I can’t wait until my next time to Prime IV!
