Ingredients

What's in your drip

Every ingredient in your Immune Defence+ Recovery. For any medical question about them, speak to Dr Addinall or a member of our medical team.

  • 01
    Normal Saline (NS)
    Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride. Acts as the IV base, restoring fluid balance and carrying the active ingredients into circulation.
  • 02
    Vitamin C
    Ascorbic acid. A cofactor for collagen synthesis and a potent antioxidant. IV delivery achieves plasma concentrations far higher than oral supplementation.
  • 03
    Vitamin B-complex
    A combination of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6) that act as cofactors for cellular energy production, neurological function and red blood cell formation.
  • 04
    Vitamin B12
    Methylcobalamin: a coenzyme involved in DNA synthesis, neurological function and the production of red blood cells.
  • 05
    Zinc
    Essential mineral required for over 300 enzymes. Involved in immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis and cellular signalling.
  • 06
    Trace minerals
    Blend of micronutrients (zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, chromium) acting as cofactors in enzymatic reactions across immune function, antioxidant defence and metabolism.
  • 07
    L-lysine
    Essential amino acid involved in collagen formation, calcium absorption and protein synthesis. Cannot be made by the body, so must be supplied.
  • 08
    Glutathione
    The body's master antioxidant. Central to the liver's natural clearance pathways, neutralising oxidative stress and supporting cellular health.

Every Immune Defence+ Recovery session is physician-formulated. A clinician may recommend Red light therapy alongside it, booked separately. The full ingredient breakdown is listed on this page.

A Immune Defence+ Recovery session runs 45–75 mins, administered intravenously in-clinic by a registered medical professional at WellNest on Bree Street, Cape Town City Centre.

The Immune Defence+ Recovery drip is designed for seasonal immune dips, travel exposure, early signs of fatigue, high-stress periods, and for clients wanting proactive immune reinforcement. If you are not sure it is the right fit, a Targeted Supplement/IV Assessment lets a clinician review your symptoms, lifestyle and available bloodwork and recommend a protocol. Online consultations are 15 minutes at R550; in-clinic consultations are 30 minutes at R1,200. Bloodwork is optional and highly recommended, and is billed separately.

The Immune Defence+ Recovery drip is R1,090. You can book it online through our BookEm page, or start with a Targeted Supplement/IV Assessment if you would like a clinician to guide your choice first.

Whether a drip is suitable depends on your individual health, so we do not make blanket statements. Before your drip you complete our health survey with a WellNest nurse, who reviews your medical state, and your drip is given in our clinic by a registered medical professional. For any medical question, including pregnancy, medication, risks and how often you can have a drip, please speak to Dr Addinall or a member of the WellNest medical team before you book.

No. IV drips are given in our clinic at 183 Bree Street, Cape Town City Centre, by a registered medical professional. If you have a specific access requirement, message us on WhatsApp or email hello@wellnest.gold.

About WellNest

Safety, suitability & medical information

IV therapy at WellNest Gold in Cape Town is physician-formulated and given by registered medical professionals. We match each drip, from hydration and immune support to antioxidant, performance, and NAD+ options, to your goals after a brief health check.

If you would like a clinician to review your goals, medical history, and suitability before starting, you can book a consult with our team.
