How we Drip and why we Drip
‘Vitamin Drips’ or ‘IV Therapy’ is the administration of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. Vitamin Drips are the newest thing on the health forefront for numerous reasons. Since the vitamins are delivered directly into the bloodstream, they bypass the digestive system, which allows for complete and rapid absorption. Many of our clients report and immediate boost in energy levels and overall vitality after their IV Therapy. Clients also report better sleep, both in depth, quality and ease of falling asleep. IV Therapy provides immediate hydration, clients have the choice of 500ml or 1000ml of fluid infused. Particular vitamins can help improve skin appearance, reduce signs of aging, improving hydration and complexion of the skin. Some vitamin drips include compounds that help detoxify the body and help remove toxins and heavy metals from the body. Athletes and sportsmen and women, or those recovering from surgery or illness, benefit from faster recovery times due to the nutrient availability, the hydration, and the compounds used for boosting immunity and cell health. Many of our clients report experiencing mental clarity and improved cognitive function after their treatment.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the GI tract and maintains adequate blood calcium and phosphate concentrations, enabling normal mineralistation of bone, for bone growth and bone remodelling. Can help prevent older adults from osteoporosis. Needed for cell growth, neuromuscular function, immune function, reduction in inflammation.
Vitamin C
Best used to prevent colds and flu. Vitamin C boosts immunity, acts as an antioxidant, and at high does can be used as an antibacterial and antiviral. Vitamin C improves the dilation of blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the body’s natural synthesis of collagen. We need vitamin C for healthy arteries and veins.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace metal and acts as a cofactor in over 300 different enzymes. Zinc promotes wound healing, regulates immune function, is necessary for DNA and protein synthesis and processing collagen.
B Vitamins
We offer B Complex, composed of B1, B2, B3 and B5. B Complex boosts energy levels as it is essential for converting food to energy. B Complex aids brain and nervous system health, cellular function and growth, metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, drugs and steroids. B’s play roles of coenzymes so are necessary in many bodily functions, including the manufacture of red blood cells, regulation of sex hormones, maintaining a healthy GI, and reducing stress
Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
Biotin is involved in the utilisation of fats, carbohydrates and amino acids. Biotin provides great benefits to hair, skin and nails.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Vitamin B12 is required for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis and neurological function. We use Methylcobalamin as it is the active form of B12. It is the best form for bioavailability, its essential for methylation, preventing cognitive decline, and reducing heart health risk.
Selenium
Selenium is nutritionally essential for humans however no longer found in abundance in our diet. Selenium plays a critical role in reproduction, thyroid metabolism, DNA synthesis, protection from oxidative damage and fighting infection.
Magnesium
Magnesium levels are linked to muscle and nerve function as well as energy production. Magnesium improves moods and decreases feelings of depression by supporting brain chemistry. Magnesium fights inflammation, supports exercise function and recovery, can improve migraines and premenstrual symptoms, acts as a strong antioxidant and is protective against insulin resistance.
Glutathione
Our superstar antioxidant! Glutathione breaks down in the GI tract therefor is only beneficial when administered via IV. Glutathione performs phase II detoxification, removing heavy metals and other endogenous toxins. Glutathione transports other amino acids throughout the body, regulates cell cycle, gene expression, DNA and protein synthesis. Glutathione is the master antioxidant, anti inflammatory, detoxifier, chelator and mitochondrial protector in every cell in the body. Glutathione enhances the cardiovascular system and assists with the transport of oxygen to the cells.
Glycine
Glycine in an amino acid and is important in a variety of metabolic functions. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, it is an antioxidant, anti inflammatory and immunomodulary, It enhances health, growth and wellbeing.
Amino Acid Complex 1
Arginine, Lysine, Glutamine and Ornithine. This complex is designed to assist muscle health, protein synthesis, exercise recovery and supporting the body during times of increased physical stress (heavy exercise or injury). It helps with growth, prevents bone loss and helps muscle tissue recover.
Amino Acid Complex 2
Methionine, Choline, Carnitine, Inositol, Methylcobalamin. This complex is designed to support metabolism, detox, weight-loss and protein synthesis.
Amino Acid Complex 3
Serine, Taurine, GABA, magnesium. This complex is designed to reduce mental fatigue, promote relaxation and sleep, relieve anxiety. This complex promotes brain health and an overall calming of the central nervous system.
