Intravenous (IV) Nutrition Therapy is a method of administering vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream using an IV drip. The treatment is designed to help you achieve positive health and wellness, by working to overcome nutrient deficiency.
It’s thought that modern food production processes may result in our bodies suffering from a lack of proper nutrition – in fact research suggests that 90% of us are nutrient deficient, and that 50% of those people are already taking a multivitamin.
This nutrient deficiency can contribute to feelings of fatigue, headaches, dehydration and low mood and, while a healthy diet and lifestyle is the ideal approach to revitalising the body, IV Nutrition Therapy can offer a way to supplement these positive changes.
IV Nutrition Therapy can also help in cases where issues with digestion prevent the full absorption of nutrients from eating food.
By providing the body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to function well, IV Nutrition Therapy can offer a boost in energy levels as well as being beneficial in helping the body’s immune system fight off some illnesses. It can also brighten skin and nourish hair, improving our overall wellbeing particularly when used alongside positive changes in lifestyle choice.
Before administering IV Nutrition Therapy, one of our clinicians will first assess your health, wellness and diet to determine the optimal nutrient combination for your body. Our expert clinicians then use the latest technology to deliver a high dosage cocktail of nutrients, straight to your cells.

Frequently Asked Questions
IV Nutrition Therapy works by delivering nutrients directly to the bloodstream, meaning that the usual method (slow absoption via the stomach) is bypassed. Because of this, it is important to ensure that the body’s systems, particularly the kidneys, are not overloaded or put into nutritional imbalance. There are risks of toxicity, heart conditions and overhydration if IV Nutrition Therapy is not carried out correctly, or is administered too frequently.
At Hale Health we take this responsibility very seriously and will carry out comprehensive checks to ensure that the correct mixture of nutrients and frequency of treatment is administered. This will involve checking your current nutritional levels, looking into any medical conditions you may have and taking into account any supplements and medications you may take.
As with any intravenous injection, it is also important to guard against infection – Hale Heath is fully compliant with all safety and cleanliness standards, to minimise any risk during the injection itself.
The IV Nutrition Therapy procedure is not painful, and in fact it is very comfortable. The procedure can be carried out as a standalone treatment or can be added to other treatments you may wish to have.
The IV Nutrition Therapy treatment typically takes around 30 minutes, during which time you can lie back and relax, not unlike the experience of donating blood. At Hale Health we’ll take good care of you, and make you as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
How many treatments are needed will vary for every patient. If your individual symptoms suggest that there is a reason to run blood tests this will be done prior to any treatment taking place, and an appropriate treatment plan will be made. For a healthy individual just requiring an energy boost, one IV Nutrition Therapy treatment every 3 or 4 months is sufficient.
You should feel back to normal very soon after your IV Nutrition Therapy, and will be able to go about your regular lifestyle by the next day. You may find that the area of the injection is a little sore for a few days after the treatment, but this should soon fade.
We will work with you to identify the optimal mixture of vitamins and other nutrients for your wellbeing. In general however, the treatment will involve quantities of vitamins A, B6, B12, B5, a vitamin B complex and vitamin C, as well as magnesium and calcium.
As noted above, incorrect application of IV Nutrition Therapy can result in nutritional imbalances and other negative outcomes. These can include:
- Toxicity if the kidneys become overwhelmed by an excess of vitamins and nutrients.
- Higher risk of developing of kidney stones as a possible outcome of high quantities of Vitamin C.
- Potentially fatal irregularities in heart rhythm as a result of too much potassium.
- Overhydration, as a result of treatment being administered too frequently.
- Vision changes related to excess levels of Vitamin A
At Hale Health we will work to minimise or eliminate these risks through careful advance medical checks and the maintenance of high standards of care and treatment.
