Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Liquivida set itself apart as an industry leader at the first ever IV BizBash in Orlando, Florida. President and founder, Samael Tejada, showed off his industry expertise when he announced new safety mechanisms and protocols for IV therapy clinics across the county. Many of Liquivida’s protocols are two steps ahead of what the FDA currently mandates and this health and wellness franchise is leading the way to a healthier population.

Because more and more IV providers are popping up to offer on-the-go or in-home concierge IV services, industry leaders like Liquivida must standardize how medical professionals administer IV solutions in a variety of settings. The IV BizBash brought together enthusiastic medical entrepreneurs who are determined to learn from those changing the game and setting the standards in their field.
Sam Tejada is certainly changing the game in the IV therapy arena. As a retired firefighter paramedic, he made a name for himself by creating Liquivida’s IV kits and vial packets, which are used by thousands of doctors across the nation. Liquivida’s kits make administering IV therapy services simple, safe, and more compliant than independently sourced IVs from a pharmacy. At the age of 26, Sam started the company with little backing or support. Now he’s working with top-tier healthcare attorneys such as Jeff Cohen and the American IV Association (AIVA) to promote self-regulation and better safety practices for the IV industry.
With the creation of Liquivida’s proprietary all-inclusive IV infusion kits, which include all the components necessary to safely and effectively deliver doses of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids into the bloodstream, Sam knew he could elevate safety and compliance for everyone. By sourcing IV drips and vial packets at a 503B pharmacy, Liquivida protects consumers by ensuring a preservative-free, single-dose vial is used each and every time. Liquivida takes the guesswork out of the IV process so that providers can focus on what really matters: patient satisfaction and safer healthcare treatments.
In all medical settings, efficacy and reliability are crucial to a business’s success. Consistency and safety keep clients coming back, while encouraging them to make IV therapy a regular part of their health regimen. Liquivida has been prioritizing these factors so clinics can remain compliant and offer the best to their clients. The guiding principles of efficacy and reliability give practitioners additional credibility as more consumers insist on quality products, more regulated protocols, and standardized equipment at IV therapy facilities.
Since the conference, it seems that Sam’s ideations on safety and compliance are taking flight. Sam has been asked to speak with entrepreneurial medical professionals who want to scale their IV therapy locations the safe way. Sam believes that the industry ought to move away from the commercialized approach of a juice bar and transition to a method where IV therapy is treated as functional medicine. Sam understands that IV therapies can prevent or address underlying health problems such as autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue, and vitamin deficiencies. By standardizing practices, IV facilities across the country can influence a healthier population.
At the IV BizBash, Sam sat on stage with other top CEOs of the industry including Jim Donnelly of Restore Hyper Wellness and Ben Crosbie of Dripbar. Sam adamantly reiterated the importance of quality equipment and regulated protocols for IV administration for the most sterile experience possible. Liquivida is ahead of the game because their IV kits already include many of the safety mechanisms discussed such as micron filters inside of dispensing needles, medical grade refrigerators for storing sterile nutrients, ISO5 hood systems, videos, and visual step-by-step instruction guides on how to prepare and administer an IV bag the correct way.
As an industry leader, Liquivida offers two franchising options. In one option, a medical provider can implement a Liquivida Lounge as a component of an existing medical office or MedSpa, which can provide additional income to the facility. The other option fully embraces the Liquivida offerings and mindset by opening a Liquivida Wellness Center storefront retail model, that offers a wider range of products and services such as medical aesthetics, sexual health, weight loss, and hormone replacement therapy.
The Liquivida Wellness Center option allows enthusiastic franchisees to operate completely under the trusted and recognizable Liquivida brand name. For any Liquivida establishment, consumer safety is crucial to the customer experience, and Liquivida products come with strict standards and compliance measures.Whether the professionals in the IV therapy and alternative medicine space are just starting out or have already established their career, the compliance measures are essential to ensure that clients receive care in the safest setting possible. Either way, medical professionals, veterans, first responders, firefighter paramedics, and nurse practitioners qualify for a 15% discount off the franchise fee, making it easier for medical providers to join this movement with Liquivida.
In the coming months, Sam will discuss safety, compliance, and improved patient outcomes on several podcasts and at the American MedSpa Association (AmSpa) conference in February 2023. With his advice, Medspa owners can feel confident in offering IV therapy safely to promote lifelong wellness in their customers.
