What is IV therapy

Direct delivery.
Immediate results.

Intravenous therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering vitamins, minerals and amino acids at near-100% bioavailability, far beyond what oral supplements can achieve.

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.

The difference is measurable.

Oral supplements lose most of their potency to digestion. IV delivery skips the gut entirely, and the data shows it.

IV therapy at WellNest is for those who aren't willing to accept “fine” as a benchmark. Every protocol is physician-formulated for high performers focused on operating at their peak.

Executives & founders
Cognitive load & long hours.
High cognitive demand depletes B vitamins and magnesium faster than diet can replenish. IV delivery restores the substrate for focus and decision-making within the session.
Athletes & performers
Faster recovery, sustained output.
Electrolyte loss and muscle micro-tears accumulate faster than standard recovery can address. IV protocols reload amino acids so your next session starts clean.
Frequent travellers
Jet lag, dehydration, immunity.
Cabin air dehydrates at twice the normal rate while circadian disruption suppresses immunity. A single drip can significantly reduce long-haul recovery time.
Longevity-focused
Preventative & mitochondrial support.
NAD+ and antioxidant infusions support cellular repair pathways that decline with age, building a deeper baseline over repeated sessions rather than masking symptoms.
Burnout & illness recovery
Post-burnout, post-viral, depletion.
Chronic depletion strips the B vitamins and glutathione needed to recover. IV therapy replenishes these at therapeutic levels without taxing an already-depleted system.
Wellness & aesthetic
Skin, hair, antioxidant support.
Glutathione, vitamin C and zinc at IV concentrations support collagen synthesis and cell turnover in ways topical or oral routes cannot match.

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.

Most drip sessions run between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the formula and volume. NAD+ infusions take longer (between 2 and 4 hours) as they need to be administered slowly to be well-tolerated. You'll receive a time estimate 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 liver detoxification 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.

The NAD+ tiers differ primarily in dose: Starter (250mg), Standard (500mg) and Advanced (750mg+). Higher doses produce more pronounced effects on cellular energy and cognition, but also require longer infusion times. First-time clients often start with the Starter or Standard and work up based on tolerance and goals.

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.

Our Cape Town clinic is currently accepting bookings. Contact us via WhatsApp or our booking form for the exact address and directions, which we share upon confirmed appointment.
