Big Island Hawaii IV is reshaping the clinical benefits of IV therapy and turning them into a luxurious self-care experience. Maximizing hydration, energy and nutrient intake has become a calming retreat for individuals, couples, or small groups of friends and family. The woman-owned company provides care for needs ranging from dehydration to longevity support.
Suprena Clark, owner of the light-filled clinic, arrived in Hawai‘i three years ago and instantly fell in love. “The island reminds me of all the best places I’ve lived in my life,” Clark says. After living and working in a myriad of places, she laughs in fond memory of how her experiences led her to this point. Her love for connecting with clients came from years in the hairstyling industry, while her background in travel nursing gave her the professional experience to own and operate the company.
Big Island Hawaii IV offers relief for a variety of health concerns. The drips consist of saline or lactated Ringer’s solution, from which nurses build a “cocktail” tailored to each client’s needs. The goal is to ease symptoms that may arise from dehydration, stress, athletic performance and more. This is done by adding vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B complexes, glutathione, NAD+, magnesium and vitamin C, to name a few. The nutrients from the IV go straight into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract to provide better absorption, greater hydration and more rapid relief.
One of the main appeals for many patients is the ability to access care in their homes, hotels, or vacation rentals. A team of experienced nurses travels across the island to serve those who are not in a condition to travel—or who are simply too comfortable where they are—to visit the office on Kuakini Highway.
Though IV therapy is a clinical process, the nurses at Big Island Hawaii IV are seasoned professionals whose expertise allows them to prioritize quality of care and comfort. IVs are administered by licensed registered nurses under the direction of a medical director. IV therapy can help manage many symptoms, but sometimes there are needs that exceed its capacity. Clark recognizes the importance of working collaboratively with local health care providers and often refers clients to professionals who can best meet their needs. “It’s always about making people feel better faster,” Clark says. “What’s really important for us at Big Island Hawaii IV, is that people feel cared for.”
Clark explains there are two sides to her company. On one hand, she aims to be the go-to IV therapy provider for visitors from around the world who come to experience the beauty Hawai‘i promises—to be the first call when issues like seasickness, jet lag, or dehydration threaten to disrupt their stay. On the other hand, Clark is passionate about nurturing and giving back to those who call the island home, serving local families by helping them feel energized and at their best. Health, she says, is the bridge between those two goals.
Despite being in its early years, the company has already built a reputation for personalized care. Clark comes with recommendations from reputable wellness professionals on the island. Chris and Leann Green, owners of Science Lab Hawaii, praise her ability to deliver exactly what each client needs.
“Outside of her being warm and friendly, she’s educated, knowledgeable and professional about her products,” says Chris Green. “Big Island Hawaii IV is the best possible place to go. Their ability to provide comfort and care is far above the norm. I highly recommend it.”
“I felt very calm and relaxed throughout the treatment,” says Leann Green. “The next day, I felt really energized. I was able to focus much better while working. I had a good level of energy that sustained me—and is still sustaining me—even a week after our treatment.”
