Why Placitas people book an IV
Hikers and cyclists
Trails start right at the base of the Sandias. Cyclists grind up NM 165 on weekends. Sun, wind, and thin air. The Athletic Performance IV that same evening.
The Placitas wineries
Weekend tastings draw a crowd. Wine hits harder at this height. The Hangover IV the next morning.
Artists and retirees
Easels, gardens, and quiet homes. A monthly Myers keeps energy steady. NAD+ is a favorite for focus and healthy aging. No drive down the hill.
The long drive to anything
Placitas is 25 miles from Albuquerque. A clinic visit eats half a day. We drive up instead.
