IV Nutrient Therapy

IV Nutrient Therapy

IV nutrient therapy is a safe and effective way of administering essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to your body in a way which allows your body to better absorb and utilise these nutrients (unlike when we take oral forms where only a fraction of are absorbed). IV therapy is scientifically prove to deliver an increased sense of wellbeing and support a healthy and balanced lifestyle depending on your individual needs.

Here at aUK we have sourced the finest Vitamin Therapy from a leading Aesthetic Dr Vincent Wong, bringing the gold standard of IV nutritional therapy to our clinic.

We have a large selection of IV cocktails dependent upon your needs.

BENEFITS

More than 1 in 3 people take daily supplements and we know they are certainly beneficial, however, few people realise that when you ingest vitamins by mouth, only 15% of the active nutrients may eventually find their way into your bloodstream.

With intravenous nutrition therapy the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly and immediately to help the body to begin healing itself. This delivers a much higher concentrations of nutrients directly to your body’s cells through intravenous therapy, thus allowing your body to better absorb and utilise these nutrients.

TREATMENT AFTERCARE

We advise to avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after your procedure and to keep your injection site clean. Diabetic clients are advised to avoid checking their blood glucose levels for 6-8 hours as these can show falsely high levels.

Bruising

Bruising may occur which will settle down within a couple of days, we advise applying pressure to the area for a couple of minutes once the drip is removed to minimise bruising. If you notice any unexpected skin changes such as rash, redness or pain occurs please contact the clinic.

Detox

Some individuals experience flu like symptoms the day after their IV drip, this is due to toxins temporarily entering the blood stream as they are being removed from your tissues. This is a temporary stage of the “detox” process which can be expected prior to overall improvement in ones sense of wellbeing.

Delayed reactions rarely occur, symptoms of these include sickness, fever, weakness, hives, joint pain and lymph node swelling. If you become unwell or experience any of these symptoms, please seek urgent medical care.
