What are IV nutrient infusions?

Intravenous (IV) infusions deliver essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This method ensures rapid absorption and optimal uptake of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, providing fast and effective results. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system, IV infusions bypass the gut and absorb directly into your bloodstream, making them a highly efficient way to support your health.

Who should have IV nutrient infusions?

IV nutrient infusions are vital for various reasons. They can help boost energy, strengthen immunity, and support recovery from illness or surgery. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, recovering from an injury, or simply looking for a vitality boost, we offer tailored solutions to enhance your overall well-being.

Do you provide IV infusions for children?

Won’t I just “wee out” the nutrients?

This is an excellent question. When you take medications such as paracetamol, steroids, or antibiotics, your body absorbs what it needs and eliminates the excess through natural excretory processes. This mechanism helps prevent the accumulation of substances that could become toxic in high concentrations.

Similarly, with nutrient infusions, the body utilises the vitamins and minerals required to support cellular functions, and any surplus is safely excreted. This is a normal and essential process that maintains metabolic balance and prevents nutrient overload.

In some cases, we administer certain vitamin infusions at higher doses to achieve therapeutic effects beyond simply correcting deficiencies. For example, high-dose antioxidant infusions are used to help reduce inflammation by saturating the body with compounds that neutralise oxidative stress. Nutrient infusions can play a vital role in supporting various physiological processes, promoting recovery, and restoring balance in the body’s complex systems.
