Yes — when performed by qualified healthcare professionals. At Aurevia, every patient undergoes a clinical assessment before treatment. All drips use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients in sterile preparation. Treatments are administered by our trained clinical team within formulations developed and overseen by our supervising physician.

Who will administer my IV drip treatment?

Your treatment may be administered by a registered nurse or another qualified healthcare practitioner. All formulations have been developed and approved by our supervising physician, who maintains clinical oversight of every treatment protocol.

How long does an IV drip take?

Sessions range from 30 minutes (Hydration Boost) to 4 hours (NAD+ Longevity). Most popular drips take 45–90 minutes.

Why is IV therapy better than oral supplements?

IV delivery achieves 100% bioavailability — every nutrient reaches your bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system. IV Vitamin C achieves plasma concentrations up to 70 times higher than the maximum achievable orally. Nutrients like Glutathione and NAD+ are largely destroyed before absorption when taken orally.

Bioactive Compound

D-Ribose

A naturally occurring sugar that fuels cellular ATP regeneration and supports heart and muscle recovery.

What It Is

D-Ribose is a five-carbon monosaccharide and the structural backbone of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) — the primary energy currency of every cell. The body produces ribose via the pentose phosphate pathway, but this process is slow and rate-limited, particularly in cardiac and skeletal muscle following ischaemia, intense exercise, or illness. IV D-Ribose rapidly replenishes the ATP pool, making it clinically relevant in cardiac rehabilitation, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and high-performance sports recovery. It also contributes to NAD+ synthesis, which underpins cellular energy regulation and skin health.

What It Does

Supports heart health and cardiac energy (ATP) metabolism
Accelerates muscle recovery after intense exercise or illness
Improves exercise performance and reduces fatigue
Enhances energy metabolism — direct substrate for ATP regeneration
Supports skin radiance via NAD+ pathway contribution

Clinical Considerations

May lower blood glucose — use with caution in patients on hypoglycaemic agents or with diabetes. Blood glucose monitoring recommended. Standard clinical assessment applies.
