IV Vitamin Drips in Sydney

What Are IV Vitamin Drips?

IV vitmain drips is the process of delivering fluid/therapeutics directly into the bloodstream intravenously. Nutritional supplements, i.e. vitamins and minerals, can be administered most efficiently through an IV drip, which allows them to bypass the digestive process, instead flowing directly into the bloodstream to be readily available to the cells and muscles that need them.

What Is an IV Drip?

When supplements are administered intravenously (aka IV), a solution of vitamins and minerals flows from an IV bag through a thin plastic tube that has been inserted into the vein. IVs have been around for decades to help rehydrate patients but are mainly used in hospital settings and are associated with sickness. It's high time we flip the script and talk more about plugging into IVs as a semi-regular wellness practice.

Correct Dosage

The flow of the solution is regulated either manually or by an electric pump that ensures the proper dose of medicine is administered. This is the fastest way to deliver medications and fluid replacement throughout the body. When supplements are administered through an IV drip, the patient is receiving the vitamins and minerals at their full potency because they are absorbed directly without being hindered by the digestive system.

Treatment Length

An IV drip lasts anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes, depending on the quantity and potency of the solution. IV therapy is better than taking oral supplements because an IV drip delivers a high-concentration punch of goodness straight to the source.

  • What’s in the IV Bag?

    In an IV therapy session, vitamins and nutrients drip slowly from the IV bag directly into the bloodstream, where they are distributed throughout the body. There are many different kinds of IV therapy for treating a range of ailments. Patients also choose to receive IV therapy simply because a high-potency dose of vitamins and nutrients makes a person feel really good! Advocates of IV therapy report feeling “more alive” in general after a session.

  • Is IV Therapy Safe?

    The procedure is safe when carried out properly—as with any medical procedure, an IV therapy session should be performed by a professional, reputable clinician, and each patient should go through a thorough intake appointment with blood work to ensure IV therapy will be safe and effective for them.

  • Who Is IV Therapy for?

    IV therapy is for anyone interested in the fullest health and wellness experience. IV therapy supports overall wellness by administering crucial vitamins and nutrients with an immediacy that gives the body and mind exactly what is needed to function at the optimum level. This process works to support a healthy immune system, and improve energy levels, in addition to offering an array of other physical and mental health benefits. Doses can be tailor-made to suit the needs of the individual for maximum benefit.

  • Why Is IV Therapy effective?

    When vitamins are taken orally, they are processed through the digestive system, which significantly reduces potency. When administered through an IV drip, 100% of the benefits these essential vitamins and nutrients have to offer are delivered straight to the bloodstream. This process supports vital organ and immune system wellness, replenishes damaged cells, and reverses signs of aging. IV therapy helps ward off illness and can be helpful in reducing the negative side effects of cancer treatments, such as nausea and hair loss from chemotherapy.

The Top IV Drips Available:

So what do you need to know when contemplating IV therapy for your health goals? Well, first, it's beneficial to know the most popular types of IV drips available and what they're good for.

High Dose Vitamin C

Vitamin C is helpful in building a strong, healthy immune system and reduces fatigue for up to 48 hours. When taken orally in high doses, vitamin C is less than 15% bioavailable; however, when taken through an IV drip, 100% of the vitamin C is delivered directly to the bloodstream. A high-dose vitamin C drip can be used to tackle acute and chronic infections, help reduce the adverse side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, as well as helping to reduce pain, fatigue, and nausea.

Myers’ Cocktail

The IV Myers' Cocktail is a solution of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C. The therapeutic dosages of nutrients in Myers' cocktail can only be absorbed in such high concentrations when administered intravenously. Originally developed by Baltimore physician Dr John Myers and later made famous by nutritional medicine expert Alan R. Gaby, MD, Myers' Cocktail is used therapeutically for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Migraine
  • Acute asthma attacks
  • Fatigue (including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
  • Acute muscle spasms
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Common cold
  • Depression and anxiety

Moments after the cocktail is administered, the patient will often notice a spike in energy and an elevated immune response that culminates in a general feeling of wellness.

IV Glutathione

Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant experience. Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally present in human cells and declines as we get older. It works to promote cell regeneration, especially in the skin and eyes. A glutathione IV replenishes glutathione levels in cells, reducing the effects of aging and cell death, and promoting healthy, radiant skin.


Many serious diseases are caused by glutathione deficiency, including Parkinson's. The lack of proper glutathione levels leads to increased free radicals (unstable atoms that damage cells) that further the progression of the disease. A glutathione IV treatment can be used as preventative maintenance to ward off diseases while the patient receives the immediate benefits of this immune-supporting, anti-aging powerhouse.
