ASKED QUESTIONS
IV refers to intravenous – which means “within the vein”. It is a drip or infusion that uses a combination of hydrating fluids and vitamins and minerals through a cannula.
Generally 30-60 mins depending on:
- What’s in the drip or IV Infusion.
- Size of your veins and cannula used. Big veins = express delivery. Little veins = may take longer.
Generally it is safe under supervision of a qualified health professional.
To minimize risk we have a short questionnaire to screen for conditions that require caution. Our IV Infusions are overseen by a doctor and are performed by doctors or nurses licensed for IV Therapy.
Our drips or IV Infusions are designed to give a boost in energy and well being.
This bypasses what your gut is capable of absorbing and the nutrients go directly into your system to be delivered to your tissues.
It’s like taking up to 1 months worth of supplements in one go.
Yes you can.
IV Infusions give “instant gratification” in delivery of nutrients. Shots work in synergy with an IV Infusion by providing a slow release of nutrients – more of a “delayed gratification”.
