IV vitamin drip administration, also known as intravenous therapy, is the process of delivering nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and utilisation by the body.
IV vitamin drips are the fastest way to deliver nutrients to the body because they bypass the digestive system and go directly to the organs, resulting in an absorption rate of 90-100% (compared to only 20-50% possible by mouth).
With one third of the population experiencing anxiety, depression or stress, there is a growing need for preventative and supportive IV vitamin therapies that help to raise energy levels and revitalise the immune system.
Although the media portrays IV vitamin therapy as the latest health trend, popular among those living stressful urban lives, athletes and celebrities, the practice has been around for centuries.

What are the Benefits of IV Vitamin Serum?
The benefits of intravenous (IV) vitamin serums are that they can effectively increase your body’s intake of important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids. It does this by delivering these essential supplements directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption.

- Stronger immunity (prevents colds or flu)
- Improved mood
- More energy
- Improved concentration and mental focus
- Increased calmness and relaxation
- Balanced blood sugar
- Improved sleep patterns

Who are IV Vitamin Serums for?
Originally, intravenous nutrients were used in hospitals for patients who were dehydrated, had nutrient deficiencies or were unable to take oral medication.
Today, healthy people can maintain and improve their health and energy levels with IV Vitamin Therapy.
The stress of modern life can reduce your immune system and overall health: Vitamin IVs can help you maintain it by giving it the support it needs.
While stress alone may not cause us to catch a cold or flu virus, it certainly weakens the immune system’s ability to respond to viruses, leaving us more vulnerable to infection and disease.
So whether you are looking to boost your immunity, replace fluids and electrolytes lost after a drunken night out or support recovery after high performance athletics, IV Vitamin Therapy can help optimise your body’s nutrient levels.
