Intravenous Nutrition Therapy (IVNT) at The Sandford
Intravenous Nutrition Therapy has been used since 1960s with incredible results. For a long time it was a privilege of the rich and famous because of the costs and relatively small number of practitioners trained in IVNT.
At the beginning of the 21st Century, intravenous vitamins were popularized by A-list celebrities (Brad Pitt, Madonna, Simon Cowell and Rihanna to name just the few) and together with advances in manufacturing and distribution, it is now available to everyone!
What is its main advantage? With IVNT, the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly allowing your body to absorb and utilize them immediately.
The Health Benefits of IV Drip Nutrition include:
- Improved wellness: both physical and emotional that helps to combat fatigue, boosts energy levels, maintains the strength of muscles and tissues…and much more
- Accentuated beauty: nutrients and antioxidants improve physical appearance by repairing UV damage and protecting against toxins in your body
- Improved athletic performance: powerful combination of rehydration and nutrients helps to prepare body for a challenging workout!
There are many more health benefits of Intravenous Nutrition- we are happy to answer questions/queries during face-to-face consultation with our trained nutritionist.
How It Works
Intravenous (IV) Nutrition is a method of feeding vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream to optimize their absorption. Oral intake of such high doses is simply not possible due to absorption limitations of the digestive system.
Safety:
Although side effects are very rare, they do exist and it is crucial that these will be explained to you during consultation before you make the decision to go ahead.
These complications include:
- Allergic reaction
- Infection from the insertion of the drip
- Bruising and pain at the injection / infusion site
- Air embolus (air bubbles from the drip entering the circulation)
We do not recommend intravenous nutrition in pregnancy, also It is not appropriate for breastfeeding women and people with known vitamin B group allergy.
The Patient Journey

Appointment
On the day we will ask you to eat before your treatment. We will welcome you in the clinic and a consent for treatment will be taken. You will be seated in a chair and an intravenous cannula will be inserted into your hand or arm. An intravenous drip will be commenced and will take about 45 minutes. During that time you may relax, read, listen to music or catch up with your emails and social networking.
We recommend leaving work behind for the duration of the treatment! It is your time NOW.
After Care
We recommend pressing on the area for 2 to 3 minutes after the drip is removed to help reduce any bruising. If bruising does occur, it usually settles within 2 to 3 days. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any concerns on 02083037051.
How long will it take to work: Many patients feel the positive effects immediately. For others, it may take 2 to 7 days to feel the difference. We recommend a course of 4 treatments to optimize results.
How long does it last: effects can last for up to 18 months depending on the treatment and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
