IV nutritional therapy is a form of intravenous therapy that involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream to improve health and well-being.
In IV nutritional therapy, a personalised combination of vitamins and minerals is delivered in the form of a solution directly into the bloodstream through a vein using an IV catheter. This method of delivery allows for maximum absorption of nutrients by bypassing the digestive system's limitations. The aim of IV therapy is to provide fast and effective absorption and delivery of nutrients that may not be adequately absorbed through the digestive system.
The frequency of getting IV drips depends on the individual's specific needs, health, and the reason for getting the IV treatment. For some people, a single session could be enough to provide the desired benefit, while others may prefer more regular treatments for maintenance purposes.
Benefits of IV Therapy
Efficient Nutrient Delivery
IV therapy allows for direct infusion of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fluids into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, resulting in quicker absorption and utilisation by the body. It can be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty absorbing nutrients through oral intake.
Hydration and Fluid Balance
IV therapy is an effective method for rapidly rehydrating the body and restoring fluid balance. It is commonly used in situations such as dehydration, intense physical activity, or after illness, helping to replenish electrolytes and fluids more efficiently than oral intake.
Increased Energy and Vitality
IV therapy can provide an energy boost by replenishing nutrient deficiencies. For example, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins administered intravenously can enhance energy levels and support the functioning of the nervous system.
Immune System Support
IV therapy can strengthen the immune system by delivering high doses of immune-boosting vitamins and antioxidants, such as vitamin C, directly into the bloodstream. This can aid in fighting off infections, reducing the duration of illnesses, and enhancing overall immune function.
Detoxification and Cellular Health
Certain IV therapies, like glutathione infusions, assist in detoxifying the body by supporting the liver's natural detoxification processes. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralise harmful free radicals and promotes overall cellular health.
Relief from Hangovers and Fatigue
IV therapy has gained popularity as a hangover remedy due to its ability to rehydrate the body, replenish essential nutrients, and alleviate common hangover symptoms like headache and fatigue. It can also help combat fatigue caused by jet lag or intense physical activity.

Intramuscular (IM) vitamin injections involve the direct administration of essential vitamins and nutrients into the muscle tissue using a syringe. This method allows for rapid absorption of vitamins, bypassing the digestive system, and ensuring that a higher concentration of nutrients reaches the bloodstream.
IM vitamin injections have gained popularity for their potential health benefits. They are known to boost energy levels, support mood regulation, enhance immune function, and aid in faster recovery after illness or strenuous physical activity.
Additionally, these injections may improve skin health, cognitive function, and assist in weight management.
IM vitamin injections are often used to address specific deficiencies, promote overall well-being, and offer a convenient way to ensure optimal nutrient levels for those with busy lifestyles or digestive issues.
