WELLNESS MYERS

Intravenous or IV Nutritional Therapy using IntraVita products delivers a specific cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into your bloodstream – intravenously through insertion of a cannula into a vein in your arm.

The IntraVita product range also offers single booster intramuscular (IM) injections of certain key vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

IntraVita vitamin drips are aimed at supplementing the body with nutrients that help towards maintaining optimum health and wellbeing.

They are targeted to boost energy levels, aid anti-ageing, maintain athletic performance and improve general health.

Minor side effects from this treatment include bruising and tenderness at the needle insertion point, with potential for inflammation of the vein (thrombophlebitis) due to the cannulation. These should be temporary and normally resolve in two or three days.

Some people may feel a little faint or lightheaded immediately after treatment and need to wait before leaving the clinic.

Various complications can occur both during and after intravenous cannulation including pain, difficulty introducing the cannula, arterial puncture, blood clot formation, infection and necrosis. Rarely an allergic reaction could cause anaphylaxis.
