IV Drip Therapy London

Medical-grade intravenous nutrient therapy delivered directly into the bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system for 100% bioavailability.

Restore energy, support immunity and optimise internal health with a personalised IV drip protocol. Performed personally by Dr Gregorio De Carvalho.

What is IV drip therapy?

IV drip therapy delivers vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous infusion. Because nutrients bypass the digestive system, the body receives 100% of what is administered — compared to as little as 20–30% absorption from oral supplements.

At Vitalumina, every IV drip protocol is medically prescribed and administered by Dr Gregorio De Carvalho. Your health history and goals are assessed before any infusion is recommended — ensuring the right blend of nutrients for your specific needs.

Why IV drip therapy outperforms oral supplements

When you take vitamins orally, absorption is limited and variable — affected by gut health, food intake and individual metabolism. Many people absorb far less than the stated dose from tablets or capsules.

IV drip therapy may reduce this entirely. Nutrients are delivered directly into the circulation at therapeutic concentrations that oral supplementation cannot achieve. The difference in how patients feel is often noticeable within hours of the infusion.

How does IV drip therapy work? Step by step.

A straightforward, medically-supervised process from consultation to post-infusion. The nutrient blend, concentration and volume are selected based on your specific health goals and current status.

Medical Consultation

01
Dr Gregorio reviews your health history, current symptoms, medications and goals. A personalised IV protocol is selected — or a bespoke blend is formulated specifically for you. No infusion is prepared without a proper clinical assessment.

Cannula Placement

02
A small cannula is placed into a vein — typically in the arm — using an aseptic technique. Mild discomfort at the site of insertion is normal and brief. Once placed, the cannula is secured and connected to the IV line.

Infusion

03
The nutrient solution is administered slowly via controlled drip over 30–60 minutes. You relax throughout — reading, listening to music or simply resting. Dr Gregorio monitors the process. The rate of infusion is adjusted to ensure comfort and safety.

Immediate Effect

04
Many patients notice the effects within hours — improved energy, mental clarity and physical restoration. Some benefits such as immune support build over 24–72 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the session.

Our IV drip protocols.

Each protocol is formulated around a specific health goal. All can be customised based on your individual assessment. Dr Gregorio will recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.
01

Energy & Vitality

High-dose B-vitamin complex with magnesium, vitamin C and amino acids to combat fatigue, brain fog and low energy. Particularly effective for high-performance professionals, frequent travellers and those recovering from illness or periods of high stress.
02

Immunity Boost

High-dose vitamin C combined with zinc, selenium and glutathione to strengthen immune defences and accelerate recovery from illness. Ideal before or after travel, during cold and flu season or following periods of high stress.
03

Skin Glow & Radiance

Glutathione — the body’s master antioxidant — combined with vitamin C, biotin and collagen cofactors. Brightens skin tone, reduces oxidative damage and supports collagen synthesis from within. Highly complementary to aesthetic skin treatments.
04

Hydration & Recovery

Isotonic saline with electrolytes, B vitamins and magnesium for rapid rehydration, muscle recovery and post-exercise restoration. Effective for athletes, those recovering from jet lag, illness or dehydration from any cause.
05

Bespoke Protocol

For patients with specific health goals or deficiencies that call for a tailored approach. Dr Gregorio formulates a personalised blend based on your consultation and symptoms — precisely targeted to your individual needs.

Frequently asked questions about IV drip therapy in London.

Because nutrients bypass the digestive system, the body receives 100% of what is administered — compared to 20–30% from oral supplements. Effects are felt rapidly, often within hours.
A session typically takes 30–60 minutes from cannula placement to completion. The consultation prior to your first session adds a further 15–20 minutes. You can relax, read or listen to music throughout. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after.
IV drip therapy is generally very well tolerated. The most common side effect is mild discomfort or bruising at the cannula site, which resolves quickly. Rarely, patients experience a sensation of warmth or a metallic taste during the infusion — both are harmless and temporary. Dr Gregorio monitors all infusions throughout.
