Vitamin & nutrient infusions – IV drip therapy for optimal health

What are vitamin infusions? Vitamin and nutrient infusions at Aesthetics Medical in Zurich are intra­venous therapies that deliver high doses of vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the blood­stream. These IV drip treat­ments bypass the digestive system for maximum absorption and immediate effect.

How do IV drips work? Direct intra­venous admini­stration allows 100% of the nutrients to be absorbed, compared to only 10-20% when taken orally. This enables thera­peutic concen­tra­tions for optimal health effects.

Areas of appli­cation: Energy boost, detoxi­fi­cation, beauty & anti-ageing, immune support, mental perfor­mance, regene­ration after sport or illness, and indivi­dually tailored therapies.

Treatment duration: 30-60 minutes in a relaxed atmosphere with immediate effects.

What are vitamin infusions?

Vitamin and nutrient infusions are intra­venous therapies based on ortho­mole­cular medicine – Linus Pauling's concept that optimal health is achieved through the correct concen­tration of the body's own molecules.

The active principle of IV drip therapy lies in the direct admini­stration of nutrients into the blood­stream. While vitamins taken orally must pass through the digestive system, with only 10-20% being absorbed, nutrients admini­stered intra­ve­nously achieve 100% bioavailability.

The thera­peutic benefits arise from achieving nutrient concen­tra­tions in the blood that would not be possible orally. These concen­tra­tions enable optimal cell function, improved enzyme activity and enhanced antioxidant capacity.

Quality and safety: All substances used comply with pharmaceu­tical standards and are manufac­tured under sterile GMP condi­tions. At Aesthetics Medical, we only use certified vitamins and minerals for injection purposes.

Similar in technique, but different in purpose and compo­sition. Wellness IV drips contain thera­peutic nutrients to optimise health, while hospital infusions usually contain electro­lytes or medica­tions to treat acute conditions.

All substances used must comply with pharmaceu­tical standards. Production takes place under sterile GMP condi­tions. At Aesthetics Medical, we only use certified vitamins and minerals for injection purposes.

With water-soluble vitamins (B, C), an overdose is unlikely because any excess is excreted. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are only used in thera­peutic, non-toxic doses. Our medical super­vision minimises all risks.

At Aesthetics Medical at Utoquai 37 in Zurich, we combine medical expertise with state-of-the-art IV therapy technology. Our eight specia­lised formulas and the option of individual combi­na­tions make us your ideal partner for optimising your health.
