IV VITAMIN THERAPY
Our IV vitamin infusion therapy in Canberra offers a variety of benefits, including increased energy, improved mental clarity, and enhanced immune function. Whether you’re recovering from a strenuous workout, suffering from jetlag, or simply need an energy boost, we have the ideal treatment for you.
What is an IV Vitamin Infusion?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin infusion is a modality that delivers essential nutrients including vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into your bloodstream, allowing for optimal bioavailability. This means that your body can absorb the nutrients more efficiently.
In the early days of the COVID pandemic, IV vitamin therapy became a popular way for people to get plenty of minerals and vitamins that support the immune system and prevent illness.
People can choose between different nutrients or select one of our nutrient bundles like ‘Super Charge’ for an energy boost or “Glamour’ for skin health.
IV vitamin therapy also helps alleviate nutrient deficiency symptoms like anaemia, diarrhoea, and weight loss.
Other benefits of IV vitamin therapy include:
- Aids red blood cell production
- Alleviates hangovers
- Delivers nutrients that help protect against illnesses like colds, covid, and the flu. Also reduces severity and duration of illnesses
- Keeps you hydrated
- Reduces the effects of stress on the body
- Supports post exercise recovery
