Wonder what that IV is full of?

I live in Korea. It's common here, vitamin drips, just a concoction of vitamins and amino acids. Here is a Canadian clinic offering the same thing: https://torontofunctionalmedicine.com/the-iv-lounge/

I've had them a few times, to be sure, they make you feel awesome.

TIL. Does it "work"?
Feel great after them!!! Def works. Strong recommend from me.
I guessed it would just be saline for hydration, but it looks like they do vitamins, minerals, and amino acids via IV in some places[1].
