Intravenous Therapy is an efficient way to provide the body with the vitamins, minerals and amino acids it requires. The modern day diet consists of many foods which are both over processed and modified, resulting in deficiencies. More than 1 in 3 people take daily supplements in order to meet the body's requirements. However, only 15% of the active nutrients are absorbed by the body, with the remainder being excreted by the body. In addition, certain nutrients cannot be taken orally as they are subject to hydrolysis (chemical breakdown) by the stomach acids, for instance, glutathione, which is an important antioxidant and dipeptide.

IV Therapy is an effective treatment to deliver a high dose of vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the bloodstream.

IV Therapy is beneficial for:
● Anti-ageing
● General wellbeing
● Fat burning
● Immune support
● Increasing energy levels
● Improving athletic performance
● Hangovers
● Low mood
● Pain
● Seasonal allergies

The frequency required for IV Therapy is highly dependant on you as an individual and your individual needs, and will be discussed during your consultation. Nutritional requirements vary for the individual depending on a number of factors, including; diet, lifestyle, any existing health conditions and any supplements being taken.

Some clients can benefit from having IV Therapy on a weekly basis, whereas for other clients a monthly treatment can be more beneficial. IV Therapy can also be taken advantage of as a one off treatment before an important event.

Unfortunately, due to the lifestyle choices of many, we do not receive all the nutrients that are required to keep our bodies running at an optimal level.

Reasons why we cannot rely solely on our diets to receive the nutrients we need include:
● Consumption of over cooked and canned foods
● Addiction to sugar, salt and processed foods means that many individuals dislike foods which contain vital nutrients (1 serving of vegetables at dinner is not sufficient!)
● Commercial processing of foods and their storage
● Many individuals avoid buying the foods they need as they view them as expensive
● Many individuals do not eat local and seasonal fruit and vegetables
● Fortified nutrients are not readily absorbed and so we miss out on many phytochemicals

We offer a wide range of IV Infusions to meet all your individual needs, including:

IV Therapy is carefully administered via an intravenous drip to ensure minimal discomfort. During the treatment, you may experience local warmth and, depending on the infusion, an increase in energy or an improved sense of relaxation. Some clients report improved sleep following IV Therapy. It is worth noting that some clients feel nauseous for the first few minutes.

It is important to have something to eat and drink prior to IV Therapy.

The procedure typically lasts 20-45 mins depending on your individual requirements.

Many clients will feel the effects from IV Therapy during the treatment. The effects will continue to improve for days following the treatment.

Without consultation and testing, it is impossible to state for certain which nutrients you may be deficient in. However, the following nutrient deficiencies are not uncommon;
● Magnesium - Magnesium is important for promoting normal blood pressure and healthy serotonin production. It is also required for normal muscle and nerve function, and to ensure optimum energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Having optimum levels of magnesium is important for the following health conditions; anxiety and depression, asthma, hypertension, insomnia, nerve problems and osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease.
● Vitamin C - Vitamin C is important for wound healing and immune function. It is likewise important for the growth and repair of blood vessels, teeth, bones, ligaments, tendons and skin. As Vitamin C is not stored in the body it is required in the diet daily, therefore it is very easy to become deficient in Vitamin C and it can happen quickly. Symptoms of a deficiency in Vitamin C can include; chronic infections, susceptibility to bleeding and bruising, fatigue, depression, anaemia, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, dry skin and hair, weight gain and cancer.
● Zinc - Zinc is essential to maintain optimum health levels and is important for the following; the healing of injuries, sexual growth and development, hair growth, insulin production, immunity, sense of taste and smell, fertility and during pregnancy to ensure the proper growth and development of the fetus. Signs and symptoms of a deficiency in zinc can include; growth retardation, depressed immune function, diarrhea, dandruff, gonad dysfunction (low sperm count), altered taste or smell, body odour, eczema, acne and dry skin.
● B Vitamins - The B Vitamins are a group of vitamins commonly found together in foods and often share similar functions as coenzymes for various processes within the body. They are important for the production of energy within the cells and the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats. Optimum levels of B Vitamins also support healthy immune and nervous system functions, as well as healthy cell growth and division. Deficiencies in any one of the B Vitamins can result in many symptoms, including; depression, muscle pain, nausea, fatigue, dermatitis, sensitivity to light, infertility, PMS, insomnia, anemia and weakness.

IV Therapy is a very safe treatment as the vitamins, minerals and amino acids used are classified as Essential Nutrients. They are essential for our bodies to function optimally, however they cannot be produced internally and must be sought externally. IV Infusions are formulated to be safe with minimal side effects whilst ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Side effects include:
● Physical sensation at the site where the drip is inserted
● Temporary headache following treatment

IV Therapy is suitable for everyone and the treatment will be tailored to meet your individual requirements.
