Benefits of Vitamin Shots & Drips

Boost Overall Health & Wellbeing

IV drips and vitamin shots help to boost your overall health and wellbeing.

Along with treating certain nutrient deficiencies, IV vitamin drips and injections can help to:

- Support athletic performance
- Boost your immune system
- Help fight fatigue
- Enhance your mood
- Improve your skin tone and lessen the signs of ageing
- Promote health skin, hair and nails
- Detox the liver
- Improve general well being
- Help maintain a healthy weight

Improved Absorption Rate

When vitamins are taken orally approximately 10% - 15% of the vitamin is absorbed by the body. When nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream they bypass the digestive system resulting in a 90% - 100% absorption rate and so can be utilised more effectively by the body.

IV drips are delivered straight into the blood stream and so essential nutrients and fluids can be delivered for quickly and efficiently for optimal results. IV drips are therefore far more effective than taking oral supplements.

An IV drip is pain free and so you can come and sit back and relax for 45 minutes. Alternatively, vitamin injections are a great quick alternative.

What else should I know?

Vitamin drips

All IV drips use a sodium chloride diluent which, even when used alone is a great source for replenishing hydration and electrolytes and so can be used after exercise or as a great hangover relief.

Vitamins are delivered directly into the bloodstream and therefore 99.9% of vitamins are absorbed.

Vitamin shots

Vitamins injected intra muscularly allow for an absorption rate at approximately 90% as they are not harmed by stomach acids through the digestion process.

Vitamins we offer:

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is a powerhouse. It helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. It’s needed to make DNA, nerve and blood cells and is crucial for the immune system. The body’s metabolism wouldn’t run smoothly without it.

Vitamin B (containing B1, B2, B3 and B6)

Helps to reduce the effects of tiredness and fatigue. B1 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy. B2 and B3 promote growth and development and assist in energy release from foods. B6 ensures that metabolic processes such as fat and protein metabolism run smoothly.

Vitamin C

Necessary for normal growth, development and repair of damaged tissues in the body. It maintains the normal function of the immune system along with collagen formation.

Vitamin D

Is required to keep bones, muscles and teeth healthy. It is required for many of the main processes of the body and assists the body in its ability to absorb other minerals.

Biotin

Biotin helps to trigger the reactions needed to convert food into energy and is shown to play a key role in the hormone function of the nervous system. It supports enzyme production, healthy cell growth and the creation of amino acids, making it a vital ingredient for keeping the skin, hair and nails healthy. Biotin is a great to be taken in conjunction with a PRP hair treatment. Please follow the link to the PRP treatment page for further details.

Glutathione

The master antioxidant. Glutathione is capable of preventing damage to important cellular components. It breaks down free radicals and assists in cell regeneration. It is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in the body. Glutathione is therefore great for anti-ageing as it protects the skin against oxidative damage which leads to wrinkles, dull skin and lower energy levels associated with ageing. By getting rid of these free radicals before they can build up and cause cellular damage, glutathione can slow the ageing process and help keep a youthful and radiant appearance.

  • Biotin for hair growth – three injections per week for six weeks, then twice a week for six months.
