Curious about IV drip therapy?

Perhaps you've heard people talking about vitamin infusions, hydration drips or NAD+ therapy.

You might have seen them advertised online, heard friends discussing them or simply wondered what they actually involve.

With so many different treatments and claims surrounding IV therapy, it can be difficult to know what's appropriate, what's supported by evidence and where to turn for professional advice.

What is IV drip therapy?

IV therapy, short for intravenous therapy, involves delivering fluids or other substances directly into the bloodstream through a small cannula placed into a vein.

Depending on the treatment, an infusion may contain fluids, vitamins or other ingredients.

IV administration is used in healthcare for a range of specific purposes. However, not everyone needs intravenous nutrients, and IV treatment is not automatically more beneficial than oral supplements or a balanced diet.

At Bosworth, we believe it's important to understand the ingredients, evidence, potential risks and clinical suitability before considering treatment.

Explore IV drip therapy

Different IV formulations contain different ingredients and are intended for different purposes.

Our team can discuss the options available at Bosworth, including the following types of infusions where offered and clinically appropriate.

Hydration infusions

Hydration infusions involve administering fluids intravenously.

IV fluids have established medical uses in particular circumstances, but they are not routinely necessary for someone who can maintain adequate hydration by drinking.

Our team can advise whether an IV infusion is appropriate or whether another approach would be more suitable.

Vitamin infusions

Some intravenous formulations contain vitamins such as vitamin C or selected B vitamins.

Vitamins play essential roles in normal bodily functions, but receiving additional vitamins intravenously does not necessarily provide extra benefits when nutritional requirements are already being met.

The ingredients and suitability of any infusion should be considered individually.

Multivitamin and nutrient infusions

Some formulations combine several vitamins or nutrients into one infusion.

The composition can vary between products, making it important to understand exactly what is being administered and whether there is a clinical reason to consider it.

NAD+ infusions

NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in normal cellular processes.

It has attracted interest within the wellness industry, although evidence supporting many of the advertised benefits of intravenous NAD+ in otherwise healthy individuals remains limited.

Our team can explain the current evidence, uncertainties and relevant safety considerations.

Please contact us for the current range of available IV infusions. All treatments are subject to clinical suitability and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are IV vitamin drips?

IV vitamin drips are intravenous infusions containing selected vitamins, sometimes combined with fluids or other nutrients. The ingredients vary depending on the formulation.

Do IV drips boost energy or immunity?

There is insufficient good-quality evidence to support routine IV vitamin infusions for boosting energy or immunity in otherwise healthy people without a relevant deficiency or medical indication.

How do I know which IV drip I need?

A healthcare professional should assess your medical history, circumstances and the proposed formulation before determining whether an infusion is appropriate.

Do I need blood tests before IV therapy?

Some formulations or clinical circumstances may require blood testing or additional checks. Our team can explain what is appropriate during your assessment.

Are IV drips safe?

IV therapy carries risks, including bruising, infection, inflammation of the vein, allergic reactions and complications relating to the ingredients or fluid administered.

A clinical assessment and appropriate precautions are important, but cannot eliminate every risk.

Appointment times vary depending on the treatment, formulation and individual requirements. We'll explain the expected duration before your appointment.
