Is it safe? 

The substances used in IVT infusions are vitamins, minerals, amino acids, anti-oxidants, electrolytes and water, all of which are classified as 'essential nutrients' and aptly named because they are essential for life. Essential nutrients, however, are nutrients that the body cannot synthesize on its own and therefore traditionally, they were obtained from food we eat. In modern times, however, our over-cropped soil, genetically-modified and over-processed foods mean that many of us are severely deficient in these essential nutrients. By replacing your levels of essential nutrients, under the expert advice of Dr Rippon, your body can be restored to its peak fitness and maximum energy performance. 

Did you know? 

Introducing vitamins intravenously allows for quicker, more effective absorption of the nutrients and can be 85% more effective than taking oral vitamins. Originally pioneered by late Baltimore physician John Myers more than 40 years ago, IV vitamin therapy has been embraced by celebrities who praise its energy boosting and anti-ageing benefits. Since then it has been used on tens of thousands of patients with very good results. Many of these results we have seen with our own patients, here at Rippon Medical Services. 

How does it work? 

During your consultation a complete medical history is taken before the vitamin drip is administered. Once Dr Rippon is satisfied you are suitable for treatment and you are ready to go ahead, then an IV vitamin drip will be prescribed. During the treatment, your personally tailored concentration of vitamins, electrolytes, anti-oxidants and minerals are mixed with a saline solution and slowly fed into your bloodstream, to rehydrate and revitalise your body. The treatment is quick, painless and relaxing. You will also receive complimentary herbal teas, coffee and soft drinks in the IV treatment room. 

Scientifically proven.

All of the intravenous protocols used at Rippon Medical Services have been thoroughly researched and developed by a team of leading medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, and nutritionists. By practicing this type of evidence-based medicine we can tailor our IVT infusions and IM boosters (immune boosters) to ensure both maximum effectiveness and minimal side effects. 85% more effective than oral vitamins More than 1 in 3 people take daily supplements and we know they are certainly beneficial. However, few people realise that when you swallow a vitamin pill, the body's natural absorption process can render up to 85% of that vitamin useless. In other words, when you ingest vitamins by mouth, only 15% of the active nutrients may eventually find their way into your bloodstream. 

With IVT infusions the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly and immediately to help the body to begin healing itself. You get much higher concentrations of nutrients delivered directly to your body's cells through intravenous therapy, thus allowing your body to better absorb and utilise the nutrients. 

Fast delivery with fast effects 

Our IM boosters take just seconds and the IV infusions take between 30 and 60 minutes, subject to your chosen infusion. Many patients begin to feel the effects during the IV therapy. However, for best results, we recommend a course of three treatments, two weeks apart, followed by monthly visits to help you remain in peak condition.
