PRODUCED BY

THE FIX IS IN!

The Fountain of Youth may have been finally found.

Try it! All Day Happy Hours are every Wednesday - featuring $15 Boosters.

The search for the Fountain of Youth, a spring-fed pool that restores youth, has been going on for thousands of years. Herodutus wrote about the fountain in 5th century BC. The Caribbean Indians told stories of restorative waters found in the mythical land of Bimini. The intrepid explorer, Ponce de Leon, got wind of these legends and crossed the ocean blue in search of those magical waters. Instead Ponce found Florida.

The Fountain Fix is formulated to revitalize mitochondria, which are the powerhouse of the body’s cells. The proprietary Fountain Fix formula contains the human compound nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). People naturally produce NAD, but that production reduces with age.

The powerful health effects of NAD have been long known, and now it is possible, via IV therapy, to replenish the body’s NAD. NAD repairs and restores the body’s mitochondria, giving people more energy, better health, and an offset to the effects of aging.

Each Fix and each Booster are formulated to resupply the body with needed vitamins and minerals. Because the vitamins are administered with IV or by injection, they are entirely absorbed by the body and start working immediately.

The Fix formulations insure proper hydration, boost energy, help with weight loss, and enhance facial glow.

The Myers Fix, inspired by the vitamin cocktail invented by the late Dr. John Myers, achieves concentrations of nutrients not obtainable with oral administration.

The Party Fix is for hearty partiers planning a big night, or having had a fun night.

The Immunity Fix fights flus and colds.

The Glutathione Fix is the mother of all antioxidants. The Fit Fix is for runners, athletes, and gardeners. The Slim Fix speaks for itself.

Each Fix or Booster is administered by highly trained professional registered nurses, under the supervision of the spa’s Medical Director.

The Fix IV Therapy, a wellness boutique spa is open every day except Tuesday.
