IV Infusions
Vitamin C is essential to life itself. We can’t live without it, and our bodies can’t make any of it.
Deprived of vitamin C, your body falls apart at the very root. In extreme cases you end up with a condition called scurvy that involves bleeding, hair and tooth loss, joint pain and swelling, and eventually death.
Fortunately, even small amounts of vitamin C from foods like oranges and lemons prevents this condition. Unfortunately, food and oral supplements usually aren’t enough to achieve optimal health.
You see, only about 18% of the vitamin C we consume is absorbed by our bodies. However, when it’s delivered by IV, vitamin C is 100% bioavailable. That means you can support your adrenal glands, maintain energy levels, improve and protect your skin, strengthen tendons and bones, boost you immune system and fight chemotherapy / radiation side effects with the power of high dose vitamin C.
High dose vitamin C is especially useful any time you are under greater than usual amounts of stress, feeling excessive fatigue, when your immune system needs bolstering to fight acute or chronic viral and bacterial infections, when your skin needs to be restored to glowing conditions such as after sun damage or surgery and to help improve the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy like fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
Testing: G6PD, Chemistry panel blood tests required.
Vitamin C has such broad applications because it is a key factor in collagen production (skin, blood vessels, ligaments and bones), adrenalin and carnitine synthesis (energy), it directly boosts the immune system, and it has a potent antioxidant function. So let’s look at each of these in turn.
Collagen Production:
Collagen is the structural protein found in all animal tissue. It holds our muscles to our bones, provides structural support for veins and arteries, and more. Vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis along with the amino acids proline and lysine (1). When you don’t have enough collagen, you may have thin skin and weaker blood vessels, bones, tendons and ligaments. This can lead to aneurysms (blood vessel wall thinning), possible stroke, and even the ruptured ligaments and tendons commonly seen in sports injuries.
High doses of vitamin C when administered by IV can bolster skin and connective tissue and prevent these outcomes.
Energy Production:
Vitamin C is required in the breakdown of fat for energy use. It takes part in the synthesis of a molecule called carnitine which serves as a shuttle bringing fats into the mitochondria in our cells for energy production.
This means it can have a powerful influence on our energy levels. For example, a 2011 scientific study showed high dose (10 grams) vitamin C given by IV reduced fatigue in office workers after 2 hours and continued its effect for 24 hours
Immune Support:
Vitamin C may have a direct effect against infectious agents like bacteria, viruses, and even cancer cells. (The use of Vitamin C in cancer is still controversial but is being studied and is promising… read more below.) At very high doses it can generate peroxide (H2O2) which may account for this effect.
Before the polio vaccine, vitamin C was used as a high dose intramuscular injection every 8 hours in the treatment of polio with some success. More recently in mice genetically modified to lose the ability to make vitamin C, external vitamin C was shown to increase the mice’s ability to increase anti-influenza cytokines (powerful immune system cells) and fight influenza virus infections.
Antioxidant Properties:
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect cell structures like collagen, proteins, and DNA from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are common in high stress states, chronic illness and infections.
Research has shown that the antioxidant properties of vitamin C can reduce the severity of symptoms associated with H1N1 influenza virus and is considered an important add-on therapy in surviving the flu.
Cancer and Chemotherapy:
The role of vitamin C as a therapy for cancer is very controversial. No large scale studies have been done to definitively conclude one way or another if vitamin C has a role in the treatment of cancer. Here is what we do know:
- Vitamin C even in high doses of 1.5 grams/ kg (over 100 grams) is safe and tolerated very well with very few side effects. Even the myth of kidney stones (oxalic acid) has been dispelled in recent studies which have shown that oxalic acid levels remain well controlled even with high doses of vitamin C.
- IV vitamin C becomes an oxidant at high doses as opposed to its antioxidant function at lower doses. This is because vitamin C interacts with oxygen and iron to cause the formation of high concentrations of peroxide (H2O2) in tissues. Peroxide is used by immune cells to kill foreign invaders and cancer cells. Vitamin C also depletes ATP and causes DNA damage to cancer cells.
- High dose IV vitamin C can be used safely in conjunction with chemotherapy (except methotrexate) and radiation in certain situations in which the patient’s oncological team is aware of and has agreed to incorporate vitamin C as a treatment modality.
- High dose IV vitamin C may improve mood and energy for patients undergoing cancer treatment using other modalities.
- High dose IV vitamin C can be used safely in treatment of terminal cancers which have not responded to chemotherapy and radiation treatment even if it may be of limited use in further killing these cancer cells.
Vitamin C (ascorbate) is a powerful antioxidant and several critical enzymes require vitamin C in the synthesis of collagen from proline and lysine. Vitamin C is, therefore, required for the maintenance of normal connective tissue as well as for wound healing since synthesis of connective tissue is the first event in wound tissue remodeling. Vitamin C is also necessary for bone remodeling due to the presence of collagen in the organic matrix of bones.
Vitamin C is required for conversion of tyrosine to epinephrine (adrenalin), and the synthesis of the bile. It is present in high amounts in the adrenal gland cortex and these levels are depleted after adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation of the gland and synthesis of the stress hormone cortisol, which is why it’s important to replete vitamin C level during times of high stress.
Our Immunity Booster builds you up from the inside out.
Benefits of an Immunity Booster IV Drip
- Assists your immune system to fight against infections
- Reduces tiredness and fatigue
- Decreases oxidative stress so we’re in peak condition
Our Immunity Booster IV Drip provides the vitamins and minerals that your body requires for the maintenance of the immune system.
Oxidative stress caused by a build-up of free radicals can seriously overwhelm our immune system, which is why we’ve included powerful antioxidants, such as glutathione, cysteine, and arginine in our IV Immunity amplifying treatment.
Our IV Immunity Booster is full of vitamins and amino acids, which may help your body recover full health.
How to Protect Your Immune System?
To function at peak performance, your body requires balance and harmony. We need vitamins and minerals to keep our immune systems healthy. The best vitamins for reinforcing immunity at a cellular level are Vitamins B6, B12, C, D, folic acid, zinc, and selenium.
One of the main benefits of an IV Immunity stimulator is fast, more effective results without gastrointestinal side effects, absorption issues or loss of potency.
Our IV drips can help build up your immune system to fight against future infections as well as reduce tiredness and fatigue.
What Vitamins Contribute to a Healthy Immune System?
- Vitamin C: Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, vitamin C helps boost immune function and protects against oxidative stress. It promotes the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections.
- Vitamin D: This vitamin plays a vital role in regulating the immune response. It helps modulate the immune system and promotes the production of antimicrobial peptides that help defend against pathogens. Adequate vitamin D levels are important for overall immune function.
- Vitamin A: Important for maintaining the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, vitamin A enhances the immune system’s first line of defence. It also supports the development and differentiation of immune cells.
- Vitamin E: As a potent antioxidant, vitamin E protects immune cells from oxidative damage. It supports the function of various immune cells and helps maintain a healthy immune response.
- Vitamin B6: This vitamin is involved in the production and activation of immune cells. It supports the proliferation of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for immune defence.
- Vitamin B12: Essential for the formation and maturation of white and red blood cells, vitamin B12 plays a role in immune system function. It supports the production of DNA and promotes the activity of immune cells.
- Vitamin K: While primarily known for its role in blood clotting, vitamin K also contributes to immune health. It helps regulate inflammatory processes and supports immune cell function.
- Vitamin E: As a potent antioxidant, vitamin E protects immune cells from oxidative damage. It supports the function of various immune cells and helps maintain a healthy immune response.
- Vitamin Zinc: Although not a vitamin, zinc is a vital mineral that supports immune function. It is involved in the development and function of immune cells, and a deficiency in zinc can impair immune response.
- Vitamin Selenium: Selenium is a trace mineral that acts as an antioxidant and supports immune cell function. It plays a role in the production of certain enzymes involved in immune defence.
All the ingredients in our Immunity Booster IV are carefully formulated using vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in generous proportions. All these ingredients are vital components to help the immune system. The formulation is brimming with power.
Working in synergy, with these components we have included some famous and well researched homeopathic medications that are also known to stimulate the immune system. Altogether, the ingredients are very well tolerated and have no known side effects or contraindications making them a welcome addition to our Immunity propelling IV therapy.

Our Detoxification Booster IV combines essential fluids, vitamins and minerals that have been found to lower your toxic load.
REVOLUTIONISE
Detox has become the big buzzword in dieting as we realise the impact of toxicity on the body and its ability to function effectively. Managing how your body detoxes can be a crucial factor in whether you reach your goal weight and how quickly you get there. To keep toxins away from your vital organs, the body will store them in your fat cells which makes them harder to lose.
We take a holistic approach to any problem or concern and so we’ve also added nutrients that are key to energy production to aid in your exercise efforts. One of its key ingredients, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, is fast gaining attention as an invaluable supplement for those committed to looking after their bodies. It plays a vital role in the production of glucose which the body requires for energy and affects hydration.
Our Detoxification IV drip also contains several amino acids, including glycine, taurine, arginine and ornithine, that are essential for the detoxification process; in the liver they combine with and neutralise toxins. Our Detoxification IV drip is a powerful combination of nutrients and can be a highly effective aid, but to see the results you’re hoping for you need to commit to a diet and exercise routine.

Enhance Athletic Performance
From professional athletes to those who take their regular fitness regime seriously, IV Vitamin Therapy is fast becoming the new buzzword.
When you expend energy, you churn through the body’s stores of nutrients to power your metabolism. It is your metabolism that converts carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy through a series of chemical reactions and these chemical reactions require certain vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, B-Complex, magnesium and zinc.
How could IV Vitamin Therapy enhance my athletic performance?
IV Vitamin Therapy works in two key ways. Firstly, it improves performance by strengthening the body, topping up levels of the minerals and vitamins that can be depleted by strenuous exercise. Secondly, certain nutrients have been found to reduce fatigue which could help shorten the time it takes you to bounce back after your athletic endeavour.
Which is the best IV Vitamin Therapy to improve my athletic performance?
Every treatment is bespoke and tailormade for the individual. This means we assess the patient’s requirements and we can adjust the different levels of specific nutrients. The three nutrient therapies that we’ve found most beneficial for patients keen to improve their sporting abilities are:
Performance Booster: whether you are competing at a high level or just committed to a regular exercise routine, our Performance Booster drip can deliver key energy-producing vitamins and minerals that can also maintain your immune system in the face of strenuous exercise.
Myers Cocktail: the standard Myers Cocktail includes magnesium, calcium, B-vitamins (including B12, B5 and B-6), B-Complex, selenium and Vitamin C, and it has been found effective in improving athletic achievement.
Glutathione IV: recent studies have shown a possible link between Glutathione and increased stamina.
How do I book my Athletic Performance Enhancement treatment programme?
To pack a punch look into IV Vitamin Therapy today.
Patients have found this treatment effective as part of a long-term programme, to prepare you for peak performance and then to keep your recovery on track afterwards.
