Every Metabolic Reset session is physician-formulated. A clinician may recommend InBody assessment alongside it, booked separately. The full ingredient breakdown is listed on this page.

A Metabolic Reset session runs 60–90 mins, administered intravenously in-clinic by a registered medical professional at WellNest on Bree Street, Cape Town City Centre.

The Metabolic Reset drip is designed for low energy states, metabolic sluggishness, structured wellness plans, and for clients seeking foundational metabolic optimisation.

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 Metabolic Reset drip is R1,150. 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.

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.

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.
