We are sure your social media for-you-page is filled with celebrities and ordinary people getting IV drips on the regular. From hosting wellness parties consisting of IVs to getting an energy boost at an IV bar on a normal Saturday afternoon, IV drips are a popular trend that just keeps growing. If you take a peek into your city, you will notice IV bars are popping up in every direction and have even become completely mobile to meet you wherever you want. The real question is: Do IV drips make a difference to your body? Is it truly the best form of taking in the vitamins you need as opposed to the good 'ol regular tablet we've known for years?
To break it down, IV infusion therapy is all about delivering vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a drip using needles and saline. When looking to get a boost, you have the option of 1000ml (1 litre), which usually takes about an hour to filter through your body or 350ml, which takes about 30 minutes. IV infusion therapy is promoted as a way to achieve quicker, more effective results than oral supplementation - this is its biggest drawcard. One of the key advantages is the IV drip's ability to have an immediate effect on your body. This is particularly helpful for people who are severely dehydrated, fatigued, perhaps drastically hung-over from an all-nighter or recovering from a sickness like the flu.
