What the drip?! How to choose the best vitamin IV drip for you
When life gets in the way, our health suffers for it. From the stress of everyday life, to pollution, to readily-available processed foods, it’s really hard to keep on top of feeling your best – inside and out.
But being more health-aware has become important for a lot of people and thanks to our partnership with Get A Drip, taking back control is even easier.
By getting the right vitamins and minerals through a vitamin IV drip, you can bring your body back into balance. And since it’s delivered straight to your door by a professional nurse, you can prioritise your wellbeing without having to leave the house.
Not sure where to start or which IV vitamin drip to choose? We’ve compiled a simple run-through of the most common lifestyle concerns we come across and our recommended IV vitamin drips. Alternatively, book a consultation with a Get A Drip nurse to get started.
Vitamin drips and IV drips – what to expect
If you’re not sure which IV vitamin drip is best for you, start by booking a consultation. This includes a chat with a professional Get A Drip nurse who’ll run through your medical history, how you’re feeling and any health concerns you have to help decide which vitamin drip or IV drip is best for you.
Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive a medical history questionnaire where you can fill out any pre-existing medical conditions you have to make sure you’re physically able to have the IV drip you’d like.
If you already know which goal you’d like to focus on, continue reading. We’ll help you understand which vitamin drip or IV drip is most effective.
Always tired?
Try: The Energy Drip, B12 Energy Injection or Vitamin D
B12 is a key contributor to normal energy-yielding metabolism and can help reduce tiredness and fatigue, so choose a vitamin drip high in this to support your natural energy levels.
B12 can be an effective short-term solution. However, if you’re noticing yourself feeling tired and low on energy for long periods of time, you could be deficient in vitamin D. The vitamin D test will help you find out if you’re deficient and If that’s the case, your nurse can then recommend the right course of vitamin D injections to optimise your vitamin D levels.
For hay fever or immune system support
Try: Vitamin C
Vitamin C is vital for normal immune function. So if you want to support your body in fighting off nasty cold viruses, vitamin C is great. It can also work as a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory, making it useful for hay fever sufferers.
For skin health
Try: Vitamin C or Glutathione
Who doesn’t want radiant, dewy skin all year long? Choose any IV drip with high levels of vitamin C or glutathione to help with supporting normal collagen production and helping reduce cell damage caused by oxidative stress.
For a dose of extra antioxidants
Try: The Detox Drip or Detox Injection
Known as the master antioxidant, glutathione is perfect for anyone wanting a detox. The Detox vitamin drip combines glutathione with vitamins B and C to help with immune support and normal energy-yielding metabolism, whereas the Glutathione Detox Injection is a standalone injection of the powerful antioxidant.
Natural levels of glutathione lower with age, so choose the Glutathione Detox Injection if you’re wanting to keep your body topped up while helping protect your cells from oxidative stress.
For hair health
Try: The Hair Care Drip
Do you have weak and brittle hair? Is it growing too slowly? With a nourishing combination of B vitamins and zinc, the Hair Care Drip is ideal for the maintenance of normal hair and healthy cell division.
If you’re sporty or on-the-go
Try: The Fitness Drip
Always on the move? Support your muscle function and normal energy-yielding metabolism with The Fitness Drip. With B vitamins, potassium and calcium, this drip will help your muscles function normally even after intense activities. For extra electrolyte and muscle support, opt for added IV magnesium – it also helps contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue
Book a consultation
If you’re still not sure which one to book or you have a different health goal, there are plenty more IV vitamin drips and injections to choose from that may benefit you.
For the best experience, we always recommend booking a consultation with a Get A Drip nurse, that way they can get a full overview of your health before prescribing and administering treatment.
