IV therapy is a broad term that covers several different kinds of infusion. The right one for you is something to work out with a registered nurse at your consultation — but it helps to understand the main types and what goes into them. Here’s a simple overview.
Hydration drips
The simplest option: sterile fluids and electrolytes, delivered intravenously. A convenient way to take on fluids.
Vitamin and mineral infusions
These contain a selected blend of vitamins and minerals — such as vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium and zinc — mixed into fluids and infused over a set time.
Glutathione drips
Glutathione is a compound produced naturally by the body. It’s delivered as a slow “push” and is never mixed with other nutrients. Vital IV Therapy makes no claims regarding the effects of glutathione.
Amino acid infusions
Some infusions include amino acids, combined with fluids and other nutrients.
Single-nutrient boosters
Prefer just one nutrient? Individual vitamins and minerals can be given on their own — either by IV or as a quick intramuscular injection.
Intramuscular & subcutaneous shots
Not everything needs a drip. Some nutrients can be given as a quick intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection — a faster alternative when you’d rather not sit through an infusion.
Custom infusions
Every drip can be tailored. After a consultation, your registered nurse can build an infusion from the available nutrients to suit you — nothing off a shelf.
Always nurse-led, always tailored
Whichever option you choose, every treatment is administered by a registered nurse and follows an individual consultation to check it’s suitable for you.
Choosing the Right IV Therapy
When considering IV therapy, the best way to find the right option is a consultation with a registered nurse, who can talk you through what’s suitable for you.
By understanding the main types of IV therapy, you can have a more informed conversation about which option suits you best.
