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.

Won’t I just “wee out” the nutrients?

This is a great question! Nutrient infusions restore nutrient levels, and our bodies will excrete what isn’t required. Just like when your take a paracetamol, steroid or antibiotic, your body will use what it needs to, then excrete the rest. This is a normal process and is required to stop toxic build up of any substance in the body. We give certain vitamin infusions at high doses, this is to saturate the body with antioxidants to drive inflammation down. More than restoring nutrient deficiencies, we use nutrient infusions in many therapeutic ways to aid in restoring balance for a vast majority of functions.
