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-Proline

Amino acid essential for collagen synthesis, joint health, and connective tissue repair.

What It Is

L-Proline is a non-essential amino acid and a primary structural component of collagen — the most abundant protein in the human body. It is critical for maintaining the integrity of skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and the gut lining. Proline cannot be obtained in sufficient quantities from diet alone in certain clinical situations, making IV supplementation valuable for recovery, aesthetic, and structural goals. It works synergistically with Vitamin C in the hydroxylation step of collagen biosynthesis.

What It Does

Collagen synthesis and skin elasticity
Joint health — supports tendons, ligaments, and cartilage
Skin repair and hydration
Accelerates wound healing
Muscle damage repair and recovery
Supports gut barrier function and intestinal integrity

Clinical Considerations

Contraindicated in hyperprolinaemia (a rare metabolic disorder). Standard clinical assessment applies before administration.
