Its recommended that if you plan on having an IV infusion you express milk 24hrs pre your appointment, and no breast feeding 48hrs post your IV infusion. You may express your milk post your IV infusion but discard the milk. Do not give to the baby.

Yes that is fine and it is recommended to take oral supplements to keep the vitamin levels in your body elevated even though your body doesn’t absorb all vitamins taken orally.

No, in fact it is recommended that you eat and drink beforehand as this helps the nurse find your veins more easily.

Yes they can. The Nurse can adjust the fluid drip, please speak to her about it.

The frequency with which you can receive IV vitamin infusions varies based on individual needs, health conditions, and the specific vitamin infusion. A monthly session might be sufficient for some, while others may benefit from more frequent sessions.

You might benefit from IV vitamins if any of the following apply to you:

You’re always on the go.
You lack energy or feel tired all the time.
You have gut symptoms including gas, bloating, burping or acid reflux. You might have been diagnosed with IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or a food intolerance, or you might suspect you should be.
You struggle to eat as varied a diet as you’d like.
You’re vegan or vegetarian, which can mean you are deficient in B12.
You regularly take medications including antacids, steroids, thyroid medication, heart medication and asthma medication.
You have a chronic condition or autoimmune disease, including CFS or fibromyalgia.
You have darker skin or don’t get much sunlight, which can mean that you’re deficient in vitamin D.
You travel often or are exposed to pollution regularly.
You exercise hard and often.
You have problems with your skin, including pigmentation.
You have weak nails or hair loss.

Depending on the vitamin treatment programme you choose, you’ll either be given treatment via an intravenous drip, push or shot.

Drips, pushes and shots are different ways of delivering the nutrients to your cells. All of these methods bypass the gut (which is where many of the nutrients are lost when taken orally) and are delivered straight into your bloodstream to be used directly by your cells.

Drip: is diluted (in saline) and takes around 45 minutes which means you can take the time to relax during your treatment. You can add many different nutrients to the drip at the same time to make it ultra-tailored to your needs.

Push: is not diluted as much which means it takes just 20 minutes. This usually contains between 1-3 ingredients in reduced concentrations. This is quicker than a drip and more cost effective.

Shot: is a quick intramuscular injection.
