THE PREP zone

Your drip doesn’t just start in the chair — it starts here.

Think of this as your pre-drip briefing.

The smarter you prep, the better your drip works — simple as that. Your session doesn’t just start when the needle goes in; it starts with how you fuel, hydrate, and set yourself up before you even walk through the door.

From hydration hacks to what to eat before you plug in, this is your one-stop playbook to maximise results. We’ll keep it straight: just the essentials that make the difference between “feeling okay” and feeling unstoppable.

Show up prepared, and you’ll recover harder, focus sharper, and walk out stronger than you came in.

Before you arrive

Getting ready starts before you even step into the clinic.

  • Confirm your booking
    Hit the link in your email or text so we know you’re locked in. This keeps the schedule tight and your slot secure.

  • Complete your Glowday forms
    Your forms cover your medical history, current health, and treatment goals. Filling these in early means your practitioner has a clear game plan from the moment you arrive — no wasted time, just straight into action.

  • Set your intention
    Whether you’re here to recover faster, sharpen your focus, or boost energy, know your aim. Your practitioner will tailor advice and aftercare around what you want most.

GENERAL TIPS

These are the small tweaks that make a big difference:

  • Hydrate → Come in well-hydrated. This helps with vein access and boosts nutrient absorption.

  • Fuel smart → Eat a warm meal 1–2 hrs before. This activates your “rest and digest” mode, opening up blood vessels so nutrients hit deeper. Don’t arrive fasted.

  • Sleep counts → A solid night’s rest improves your body’s ability to absorb and use what we’re giving it.

  • Dress to relax → Comfy clothes are key. Bring a book, headphones, or just switch off — this is your reset time.

NAD+ Specific Guidance

NAD+ is in a league of its own, so the prep is too:

  • Time commitment → 250mg = allow 1 Hr 45 Mins. 500mg = allow 3.5 hrs. This includes your consult and infusion delivery.

  • Food matters → Avoid heavy, greasy, or sugary meals beforehand. They blunt the therapy’s benefits and make absorption less efficient.

  • Breaks + fluids → The infusion can be paused for comfort breaks. Water, tea, and coffee are on us — keep sipping to stay comfortable.

What to Expect in Clinic

Here’s how your session will play out step by step:

  1. Arrival + check-in
    You’ll be greeted by your practitioner. The first 15 minutes are for reviewing your forms, checking your vitals, and making sure you’re good to go.

  2. Needle placement
    A small butterfly needle will be placed in a suitable vein. Quick, sharp pinch — and done.

  3. Settle into the lounge
    Once your line is in, you’ll move into the Revive lounge. Your infusion is hooked up and set to the optimal rate for your comfort and safety.

  4. Monitored throughout
    A medical professional will be with you the entire time. If you feel anything unusual, flag it immediately — we’ve got you covered.

  5. Your time, your reset
    Relax, hydrate, listen to music, scroll, or nap. This is your downtime while the drip does its work.

  6. Wrap-up + aftercare
    When your infusion finishes, your practitioner will give you any tailored aftercare advice before you leave.

FAQ’S

New to IV therapy? Got questions?

You’re not alone — this section covers the essentials so you know exactly what to expect before you get dripped.

If you’re an athlete or compete under a regulatory body, you might want to check out our Athlete Zone for info on performance, recovery, and anti-doping transparency.

  • IV therapy delivers nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream — skipping the digestive system. That means faster absorption, higher bioavailability, and more noticeable effects.

  • Oral supplements are broken down in the gut — your body might only absorb 20–50%. IV therapy delivers up to 100% of nutrients straight into circulation, so your cells get what they need, fast.

  • Yes. ALWAYS. Every drip is formulated using clinical-grade compounds and sterile equipment. Nothing goes into your body that hasn’t been approved for safe medical use.

  • Our formulations are designed by doctors and pharmacists who specialise in functional and performance medicine. You’ll always have a pre-treatment consultation to check suitability and optimise your treatment.

  • Each drip contains a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, or compounds like NAD+ — depending on your goal. You can check the full ingredient breakdown on each drip card HERE.

  • Some clients feel a difference immediately — others within 24–48 hours. Energy, focus, and recovery often show up first. Skin glow, metabolic improvements, and deeper benefits build with consistency.

  • NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that fuels your mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells. It’s linked to brain performance, aging, metabolism, and recovery. Think of it as a charge-up at a cellular level.

  • Most people tolerate IV therapy well. But we always review your medical history beforehand. If you’re pregnant, have chronic conditions, or are on specific medications, we’ll guide you through your options.

  • Yes — many of our clients come to us during periods of intense stress, burnout, or fatigue. Our drips are formulated to support adrenal recovery, mental clarity, and energy levels from the inside out.

  • We offer blood panels and advanced testing to help personalise your IV plan. This allows us to see what your body actually needs — no guesswork.

Cancellations & Terms

We keep it simple and fair:

  • 24+ hrs notice → Free reschedule.

  • <24 hrs cancellation → 50% charge.

  • No-shows → Full cost of treatment.

  • It’s not just what’s in it — it’s what your body absorbs.

    We use the most active, bioavailable forms of nutrients. That means faster absorption, better utilisation, and real results you can feel — fast.

    Examples:

    • Methylated B vitamins for mood + energy

    • L-Carnitine & Taurine for performance + fat metabolism

    • NAD+ for cellular repair and brain power

  • Bypass the gut. Go straight to the bloodstream.

    Oral supplements break down in digestion. IV therapy skips the queue — delivering nutrients directly to your cells for maximum impact.

    → Immediate hydration, faster results, deeper replenishment.

  • Every drip is designed with purpose, backed by evidence, and dosed to deliver.

    You’re not just getting hydration. You’re getting a clinically formulated blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants — designed by doctors and administered by trained medical professionals.

    → Tailored for performance, recovery, focus, and longevity.
