At Ridgeline, Poly-MVA is delivered directly into the bloodstream through an IV infusion. This bypasses the digestive system for more efficient absorption, and our team administers it in a comfortable setting.

Are there any interactions to know about?

Yes. Chelating agents, mitochondrial inhibitors, and high doses of certain antioxidants may reduce its effectiveness. We recommend waiting four to six hours between those substances and your infusion, and minimizing extra alpha-lipoic acid.

How long has Poly-MVA been available?

Poly-MVA has been manufactured and available in the United States since 1992. It was developed by biochemist Dr. Merrill Garnett after testing over 20,000 compounds.

Poly-MVA IV

Q: What is Poly-MVA?

Poly-MVA is a proprietary blend of alpha-lipoic acid bonded to the mineral palladium, combined with B vitamins, the amino acid formyl-methionine, N-acetyl cysteine, and trace minerals, designed to support mitochondrial function and cellular energy.

Poly-MVA IV is a unique lipoic acid mineral complex used to support mitochondrial function, cellular energy, and antioxidant protection.

How it works

Poly-MVA stands for the many minerals, vitamins, and amino acids it contains. At its core is a Lipoic Acid Mineral Complex: a proprietary process bonds the mineral palladium to alpha-lipoic acid, then combines it with B vitamins, the amino acid formyl-methionine, N-acetyl cysteine, and trace minerals. Developed by biochemist Dr. Merrill Garnett and available in the U.S. since 1992, the formulation is designed to support the mitochondria, the cellular structures that produce your body's energy. Because the complex is soluble in both water and fat, it may travel efficiently throughout the body. Delivered intravenously at Ridgeline, it bypasses digestion for more efficient absorption. We describe what Poly-MVA does biochemically rather than promise outcomes, and every infusion is provided under provider supervision as part of a personalized plan.
