Intravenous nutritional therapy (IVNT) bypasses the gut and liver, so 100% of the nutrients are delivered to the cells. The formulations are designed to be actively taken up by the body’s cells, therefore providing optimum results quickly. As it is given through a small needle directly into the vein, higher doses of important nutrients can be administered that are not possible when taking tablets.
IVNT has been around for over 30 years in the US, Far East and in some parts of Europe, yet it is fairly new to the UK. The intended benefits are to improve health, wellbeing and boost vitality. UK Medical schools in general do not include training on nutrition and IVNT, as a consequence it is an underutilised tool in health and wellbeing promotion.
Our drips are administered by Dr Gakhal, after a thorough medical consultation. Dr Gakhal will administer, monitor and review your progress after commencing IVNT. We source all our vitamin drips from Intravita international, who are a UK registered Pharmacy. They specialise in manufacturing IV Vitamin Supplements and they are also an industry leader in training medical professionals. They have a safety record dating back to 2009.
Our featured drip this month is the IV Energiser drip. It contains a mixture of B Vitamins and Amino Acids. Vitamin B5, which plays a role in breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy. Glycine is one of 3 Amino Acids that the body uses to make Creatine. Creatine provides your muscles with energy to provide quick short bursts of activity such as weight lifting and sprinting. Taurine boosts physical performance by helping the flow of glucose to the muscles.
Each formulation contains a unique combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. They are preservative free, which was very important to us, as preservatives can increase the risk of allergy. They don’t contain traces of animals, so are vegan friendly, and are also free of genetically- modified organisms, hexane and sugar.
