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.

Amino Acid

L-Glycine

A calming amino acid that enhances collagen production, sleep quality, and antioxidant synthesis.

What It Is

L-Glycine is the simplest amino acid and one of the most versatile. It is a key precursor to glutathione (the body's master antioxidant), collagen, creatine, and bile acids. Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, contributing to improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety. It also plays a role in regulating blood glucose by improving insulin sensitivity. As a component of collagen (alongside proline), IV glycine is particularly valuable for skin, joint, and recovery protocols.

What It Does

Improves sleep quality and reduces time to sleep onset
Boosts collagen production for joint and skin health
Reduces systemic inflammation
Aids muscle repair and physical recovery
Regulates blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity
Enhances Glutathione (antioxidant) production

Clinical Considerations

Well tolerated at therapeutic IV doses. Patients with pre-existing renal impairment should be assessed individually. Standard clinical assessment applies.
