IV Therapy
IV or iintravenous therapy, is a treatment that delivers vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients directly into circulation via intravenous drip. Since the IV drop delivers these nutrients right into the bloodstream, it bypasses the digestive system. Due to this, the infused medication works quicker and is far more reliable than when taken orally. Your body, therefore, gets 100% of the nutrients it needs.

What Happens During an IV Therapy Treatment?
If you are all ready for an IV therapy procedure, here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect:
- During your consultation visit, the healthcare professional will assess the nutrients appropriate for your health and desired goals.
- You may be advised to take a blood test to evaluate if you are a good candidate for IV therapy.
- Once the initial investigations and assessments are done, a butterfly needle is used, and an IV infusion line is secured.
- The duration of each treatment depends upon multiple factors, including the nutrients, your desired health goals and more.
- You will experience a warm feeling as the infusion begins. However, the procedure is painless.

What Nutrients are Administered?
Each IV infusion formula is customised based on individual needs and contains various antioxidants, electrolytes, vitamins and other essential fluids. Here are some nutrients that you are likely to get during an IV therapy:
- Glutathione: Naturally occurring antioxidant found in the body. It gives an energy boost, retards the ageing process and promotes overall skin health.
- Zinc is an antioxidant that helps manage acne, gives clearer skin, strengthens the immune system, and ensures protein absorption.
- Amino acids promote good hair and skin, healing and support the immune system. They are also known for their mood-boosting properties!
- Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that is excellent for skin and hair. It boosts collagen, enhances the effectiveness of sunscreen, repairs the skin, and fights signs of ageing.
- Vitamin D is added to the overall mix of nutritional supplements in the IV infusion mixture to improve cell turnover, reduce inflammation, and even tone out the skin.
