FAQs - Vitamin IV Infusions

 What is IV Therapy?

Vitamin IV Infusions (IV Therapy) delivers a healthy and safe dose of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream using a drip or injection, bypassing the gut and guaranteeing maximum absorption into the cells.  The treatment beats popping a pill because of the concentration and absorption rate.  

 If I eat Healthy, why should I have IV Therapy? 

·  IV Therapy bypasses the digestive system. The digestive system limits the body’s ability to absorb and utilise vitamins and nutrients. 

·  IV Therapy allows a person to access nutrients in higher doses than they could via absorption of nutrients from food, drink or supplements.  This form of treatment is all about restoring peak performance by correcting deficiencies. 

·  The natural nutrients which are utilized during nutritional IV Therapy are gentle to the human body and this is why nutritional IV Therapy is a safe and healthy choice.
