A treatment normally takes around 45 minutes, there is no downtime, and shortly after you will start feeling the benefits.
The treatment involves a small cannula placement under sterile conditions and introduction of intravenous fluids containing chosen vitamins and micro-nutrients. During the treatment you may feel warmth, improved visual clarity and enhanced colour perception as well as sharper mental state.
Dedicated formulas
Vitamin shots containing enhanced micro-nutrients can be added to your formula, such as:
Infusion of additional rehydration fluid if required/needed

Vitamin C benefits:
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient with antioxidant properties that play important roles in various bodily functions, including collagen synthesis, immune function, wound healing, and antioxidant defence. Proponents of IV vitamin C therapy claim that high doses of intravenous vitamin C can provide benefits beyond what can be achieved with oral supplementation alone. Some of the claimed benefits include:
- Boosting the immune system
- Antioxidant effects
- Improving skin health: Vitamin C is important for collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Some people believe that IV vitamin C can improve skin texture and reduce the signs of aging.
B Vitamins
- Help body convert food into energy
- Create new blood cells
- Maintain healthy skin, brain, blood cells
- B1 (Thiamine) – low in alcohol consumption; critical role in energy metabolism and therefore in the growth, development and function of cells
- B2 (Riboflavin) – good for vegans and those not consuming milk
- B3 (Niacin) – fights fatigue and keeps skin healthy
- B5 – major role in breakdown of fat and carbohydrate for energy, critical in manufacturing red blood cells, plays role in sex hormones and stress related hormones, commonly called “anti-stress” vitamin
- B6 (Pyridoxine) – involved in protein metabolism, it is normally decreased in alcohol consumption
- Biotin – good for strengthening hair and nail
- B12 (Cobalamin) – important for red blood cell function and for neurological function and DNA synthesis, lacking in vegans
- Folic Acid – Involved in red blood cell metabolism

NAD+- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression. NAD+ is involved in redox reactions, acting as an electron carrier by accepting and donating electrons.
In recent years, NAD+ has gained attention due to its potential anti-aging properties. It is involved in the regulation of sirtuins, a class of proteins linked to longevity and health span.
Research suggests that NAD+ levels decline with age and boosting NAD+ levels through supplementation or activation of NAD+ metabolism pathways may have various health benefits, including improving mitochondrial function, enhancing DNA repair mechanisms, and potentially extending lifespan.
ALA (alpha lipoic acid):
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and helps to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E. Here are some of the potential benefits of alpha-lipoic acid:
1. Antioxidant Properties: ALA helps neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and various diseases. By scavenging free radicals, ALA helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
2. Supports Glucose Metabolism: ALA has been studied for its potential benefits in improving glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. It may help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
3. Neuroprotection: ALA has shown promise in protecting the brain and nervous system from oxidative damage and inflammation. It may help improve cognitive function and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
4. Cardiovascular Health: ALA may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health by improving endothelial function, reducing inflammation, and lowering blood pressure. It may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
5. Skin Health: Some research suggests that ALA may help protect the skin from sun damage and aging. It may also promote collagen synthesis, which can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
6. Liver Health: ALA has been studied for its potential benefits in supporting liver health. It may help protect the liver from damage caused by toxins, alcohol, and certain medications.
7. Weight Loss: Some studies have suggested that ALA supplementation may aid in weight loss by increasing metabolism and promoting fat burning. However, more research is needed to confirm these effects.
It’s important to note that while alpha-lipoic acid shows promise in various areas of health, more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and efficacy.
