1
What is IV Nutrient Therapy and how does it work?
IV Nutrient Therapy is a medical treatment where vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are administered directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. By bypassing the digestive system, this method ensures 100% absorption of nutrients, making them immediately available to your cells.
2
How long does a session take?
Most sessions last between 30–60 minutes, depending on the type of infusion and your individual treatment plan. Your first appointment will be longer (approximately 90 minutes) as it includes an initial consultation.
3
How often should I receive treatments?
Treatment frequency varies based on your health goals and condition. Some patients benefit from weekly sessions initially, while others may only need monthly maintenance. Your healthcare provider will create a personalised treatment schedule during your consultation.
4
Is IV Nutrient Therapy safe?
Yes, when administered by qualified healthcare professionals under proper medical supervision. All patients undergo screening before treatment, and our clinics maintain strict sterility protocols. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be minor risks which will be discussed during your consultation.
5
What are the possible side effects?
Most patients experience minimal to no side effects. Occasional minor reactions might include:
-
Mild discomfort at the injection site
-
A sensation of warmth or cooling
-
A mineral taste in the mouth
-
Mild blood sugar fluctuations

Do I need a referral?
No, you don't need a referral, but you will need to complete a comprehensive health assessment before beginning treatment.
