IV vitamin therapy · Doctor-administered · In-clinic or home visit

Targeted IV nutrient therapy, prescribed properly.

Intravenous vitamin and nutrient infusions delivered by GMC-registered doctors and trained clinical staff. Anti-inflammatory protocols, high-dose Vitamin C, iron correction, NAD+, Myers’ cocktail and bespoke formulations — chosen after consultation rather than from a menu. Available in our Whitechapel clinic or as a home/hotel visit across central London.

IV therapy is a medical procedure, not a wellness product. All patients are screened by a doctor first — some treatments are unsuitable for certain conditions (renal disease, G6PD deficiency, pregnancy, specific medications). We do not infuse without a prior clinical assessment, regardless of the protocol requested.

Protocols we offer

Evidence-based protocols, not a wellness menu.

IV therapy is genuinely useful in specific clinical contexts — iron correction, hydration, certain inflammatory conditions, post-illness recovery. It’s also overpromised by parts of the wellness industry. Here’s what we offer and the realistic indication for each. We’ll be candid in consultation about which fit your case.

Myers’ Cocktail

The classic infusion: magnesium sulfate, calcium gluconate, B-complex vitamins, B12, B5, B6, Vitamin C. Used since the 1970s for fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia and post-viral recovery. Modest evidence base for symptomatic benefit in some chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia presentations.

45–60 min · well-tolerated

High-Dose Vitamin C

Vitamin C at doses far above what oral absorption allows. Used as adjunctive support during prolonged viral illness, post-surgical recovery, and selected oncology pathways under supervision. G6PD screen required before high-dose infusion.

60–90 min · G6PD test required

IV Iron (ferric carboxymaltose)

For confirmed iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia in patients who cannot tolerate or absorb oral iron — common in heavy menstrual bleeding, post-bariatric surgery, IBD, or pregnancy. Requires iron studies first. Single-dose infusion corrects deficiency in most cases.

30 min · iron studies required

NAD+ Infusion

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism. Used in functional medicine protocols for chronic fatigue, cognitive complaints and as part of recovery from substance use. Evidence base is emerging rather than established; we’ll be clear about that.

90–180 min · slow infusion required

Anti-Inflammatory (Curcumin)

Liposomal curcumin infusion explored in inflammatory conditions including autoimmune flares, IBS, and rheumatoid arthritis. Adjunct to (not replacement for) standard care — if you have IBD or RA, your specialist remains in the lead. Used in patients already on conventional therapy.

60–90 min · adjunctive only

Bespoke formulation

Custom infusions formulated after consultation for specific clinical goals — pre-event hydration, jet-lag recovery, immune support during high-demand periods. We don’t formulate based on requests alone; the protocol must be appropriate to your physiology and therapys.

Variable · consultation-led

Every infusion is preceded by a doctor consultation and where indicated, baseline blood tests through The Doctors Laboratory (TDL). We don’t infuse blind, and we’ll decline a protocol if it’s clinically unsuitable for you. Pricing for individual protocols is on our full price list.

How it works

From consultation to infusion to follow-up.

A safe IV therapy pathway has three parts: prior assessment, the infusion itself, and follow-up where relevant. Here’s how a typical case runs.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A 20–30 minute appointment with a GMC-registered doctor to discuss what you’re hoping to address, your medical history, current treatments, allergies and any baseline tests needed. Some patients are best served by an oral supplement protocol, dietary work, or specialist referral rather than IV — we’ll say so.

  2. 02

    Baseline testing (where indicated)

    For iron infusions: full iron studies (ferritin, transferrin saturation, FBC). For high-dose Vitamin C: G6PD deficiency screen. For repeat patients: periodic monitoring blood tests. Results processed through TDL with a typical 24–72 hour turnaround.

  3. 03

    The infusion

    Delivered in a comfortable treatment room at our Whitechapel clinic, or as a home/hotel visit within central London. Cannulation by trained nursing staff; observation throughout. Infusion times vary from 30 minutes (simple hydration) to 3 hours (NAD+).

  4. 04

    Follow-up & ongoing plan

    For one-off infusions (recovery, pre-event), a written summary is provided and that’s usually enough. For deficiency correction or chronic conditions, a follow-up appointment confirms response and decides whether further infusions or alternative management are needed.

Pricing & booking

Transparent pricing, no membership tier nonsense.

Consultation fees, individual protocol prices and home-visit surcharges are all on our full price list. We don’t use opaque tier-based pricing or pressure patients toward larger packages. If a single infusion is what’s clinically appropriate, that’s what we’ll book.

Concession rates are available for repeat patients on long-term deficiency-correction pathways. Insurance does not typically cover IV vitamin therapy; we are happy to provide receipts and clinical letters for reimbursement claims where you have wellness benefits or HSA cover.

Common questions

What patients most often ask.

Does IV vitamin therapy actually work, or is it a placebo?

It depends on the protocol and the clinical context. IV iron for confirmed iron deficiency is unambiguously effective and is a routine NHS treatment. IV hydration for genuine dehydration corrects it within hours. Myers’ cocktail has modest evidence for symptomatic benefit in some chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia presentations. High-dose Vitamin C and NAD+ have emerging but less established evidence bases. We’ll be candid about which category a protocol falls into. Anyone claiming all IV therapies are equally evidence-based or all are pure placebo is oversimplifying.

Can I just request a specific infusion without seeing a doctor first?

No. Every IV infusion is preceded by a doctor consultation, even for repeat patients on stable protocols. This isn’t a procedural hoop — certain infusions are contraindicated in renal impairment, specific medications, pregnancy, and conditions like G6PD deficiency. The consultation is short for repeat patients on established protocols, but it’s not optional. Clinics that infuse without a prior consultation are operating outside reasonable medical practice.

How long does an IV session take?

Simple hydration: 30–45 minutes. Myers’ cocktail and iron infusions: 45–60 minutes. High-dose Vitamin C: 60–90 minutes. NAD+ requires slow infusion and takes 90–180 minutes. We allow extra time for cannulation, monitoring and a short rest after the line is out, so plan for 15–30 minutes longer than the infusion itself. For NAD+ specifically, please plan a full half-day.

Do you do home or hotel visits?

Yes, across central London, subject to clinical suitability. Some protocols (high-dose Vitamin C, NAD+, IV iron first-dose) are safer in clinic; others (hydration, Myers’, vitamin maintenance) are appropriate in a private residence or hotel suite where there’s a comfortable space and we can monitor properly. Home/hotel surcharge applies; details on the price list.

Are there side effects?

For most patients, no. The most common are minor: bruising or soreness at the cannulation site, a metallic or vitamin taste during infusion (especially B vitamins), warmth or flushing during faster pushes. IV iron can rarely cause hypersensitivity reactions, which is why first doses are clinic-only with full monitoring. NAD+ can cause chest tightness, flushing or nausea if infused too quickly; the protocol controls this by running slowly.

Is this covered by insurance?

Generally, no. Standard UK private medical insurance (Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna) does not cover IV vitamin therapy as it isn’t considered medically necessary in most cases. The exceptions are when the treatment is iron-deficiency correction following gastroenterology referral, or part of a recognised oncology adjunct pathway — in those cases your insurer may cover. We provide receipts and clinical letters to support reimbursement claims under wellness benefits or HSA arrangements.

How often can I have IV vitamin therapy?

This depends on the protocol and indication. For deficiency correction, frequency is dictated by repeat blood tests. For symptomatic support (Myers’, B12, immune protocols), most patients have monthly to quarterly sessions. NAD+ courses are typically a loading phase of 4–6 infusions over a few weeks followed by maintenance. We don’t recommend weekly infusions indefinitely — if you need that frequency, there’s usually an underlying cause that deserves investigation rather than ongoing IV therapy.
