What is IV therapy

Direct delivery.
Felt within the session.

Intravenous therapy bypasses the digestive system, delivering vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, which can mean higher bioavailability than many oral supplements.

At WellNest, every drip is physician-formulated and administered by a registered medical professional. Your protocol is matched to your goals, lab results and health history.

From ingestion to your cells: IV reaches the bloodstream directly, while more of an oral dose can be lost to digestion.

The difference is worth understanding.

Oral supplements can lose a portion of their potency to digestion. IV delivery bypasses the gut, which may help with absorption for some nutrients.

Higher bioavailability via IV. Because IV delivery enters the bloodstream directly, a larger share of each nutrient is available to the body than with many oral supplements, which lose a portion to digestion.
01

Bypasses digestion entirely

Nutrients enter the bloodstream directly, without first passing through digestion. This can support more consistent absorption than the oral route.

IV · DirectOral · 4–6hr digest
02

Felt within the session

Many clients report a noticeable shift during or soon after the session, such as clearer focus or a sense of physical reset. Responses vary from person to person.

Executives & founders
Cognitive load & long hours.
High cognitive demand depletes B vitamins and magnesium faster than diet can replenish. IV delivery can help replenish nutrients that support focus, considered alongside the rest of your routine.
Athletes & performers
Faster recovery, sustained output.
Electrolyte loss and muscle micro-tears accumulate faster than standard recovery can address. IV protocols help replenish amino acids, so your next session can start fresher; responses vary.
Frequent travellers
Jet lag, dehydration, immunity.
Cabin air dehydrates at twice the normal rate while circadian disruption suppresses immunity. Many travellers find a hydration-focused drip helps them feel more recovered after long-haul flights.
Longevity-focused
Preventative & mitochondrial support.
NAD+ and antioxidant infusions may support pathways involved in cellular health, considered case by case alongside the rest of your routine. NAD+ is an emerging area and its benefits are not guaranteed.
Burnout & illness recovery
Post-burnout, post-viral, depletion.
Chronic depletion can lower the B vitamins and glutathione needed to recover. IV therapy can help replenish these, considered alongside rest and recovery.
Wellness & aesthetic
Skin, hair, antioxidant support.
Glutathione, vitamin C and zinc delivered by IV may support skin health and antioxidant status, complementing topical and oral care.

IV therapy in Cape Town is medical-grade intravenous nutrient delivery, administered in a clinical setting by a registered medical professional. At WellNest Gold on Bree Street, every drip is physician-formulated for hydration, immunity, cellular energy or performance, and is matched to your health profile before infusion.

Most WellNest Gold IV drip sessions take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the formula and infusion volume. Hydration drips run closer to 30 to 45 minutes. NAD+ infusions take 90 to 180 minutes, as they must be administered slowly to be well-tolerated. We confirm timing at booking.

Yes. At WellNest, all IV drips are physician-formulated and administered by a registered medical professional in a clinical setting. We conduct a brief health intake before every session. IV therapy carries a well-established safety profile when administered correctly, which is why professional oversight matters.

Every IV drip at WellNest Gold is formulated and overseen by a registered medical practitioner, and administered by a registered medical professional in our Cape Town clinic. A brief health intake is completed before your first session, so the drip is matched to your profile and there are no contraindications.

WellNest Gold administers IV drips in our Cape Town clinic, where a registered medical professional oversees every infusion and can respond immediately if needed. This clinical setting is central to how we keep IV therapy safe. If you have a specific access requirement, contact us through the booking form and we will advise.

At WellNest Gold, IV drips range from R750 to R3,000, depending on the formula, infusion volume and any add-ons. Hydration and immune drips sit at the lower end, while multi-hour NAD+ infusions are at the premium end. We confirm the exact price for your selected drip when you book.

This depends entirely on your goals. Many clients start with a single session and return monthly or fortnightly. Those pursuing longevity or performance goals often follow a structured protocol recommended by their practitioner. We'll advise a cadence based on your intake and objectives.

Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant. It neutralises free radicals, supports the liver's natural clearance processes and plays a central role in immune function and skin clarity. IV delivery achieves concentrations far higher than oral supplementation, making the “glutathione finish” one of the most impactful add-ons we offer.

NAD+ IV therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide directly into the bloodstream. NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production and DNA repair. At WellNest Gold we offer it across dose tiers, from 250mg to 750mg and above, with higher doses requiring longer infusion times. It is administered slowly under medical supervision.

A brief intake review is conducted before every first session, either in-person or via our intake form. This ensures the right drip is selected for your health profile and that there are no contraindications. It takes about 10 minutes and is included in the session.

WellNest Gold is on Bree Street in the Cape Town City Bowl, serving the Atlantic Seaboard, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia and the wider Western Cape. We share exact directions on confirmed appointment. Contact us via WhatsApp or the booking form to arrange your visit.
