Intravenous therapy has been used in hospitals for decades to deliver fluids, nutrients and medications directly into the bloodstream. The wellness industry has adopted the same principle, creating IV drip treatments designed for energy, skin, immunity and cellular health. At Tu Bella in Hemel Hempstead, we offer three distinct IV formulations, here is what each one does.

Why IV rather than oral?

When you take a supplement orally, it must be digested, absorbed through the gut wall and processed by the liver before it reaches the bloodstream. At each stage, a proportion is lost. With intravenous delivery, the ingredient goes directly into the bloodstream with 100% bioavailability, none is lost to digestion.

This makes IV delivery the most efficient method for many nutrients, particularly those that are poorly absorbed orally.

NAD+ IV therapy

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a co-enzyme found in every cell in the body that is essential for energy production, DNA repair and cellular metabolism. Levels decline significantly with age.

NAD+ IV therapy is associated with improved energy levels, mental clarity, better sleep, and a range of anti-ageing cellular benefits. It has also been studied in the context of addiction recovery and neurological conditions. Most clients notice a noticeable improvement in energy and cognitive function in the days following treatment.

Glutathione IV drip

Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant, produced naturally in every cell. It neutralises free radicals, supports liver detoxification, maintains immune function and regulates melanin production. IV delivery allows high doses to reach the bloodstream quickly and efficiently.

Effects include improved skin brightness, a reduction in pigmentation over time, immune support and a general sense of wellbeing. It is popular as a standalone treatment and as a complement to other skin treatments.

Biotin IV drip

Biotin (vitamin B7) is essential for keratin production, the protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. For people with biotin deficiency or those experiencing hair thinning, brittle nails or dull skin, biotin IV delivers a high dose with immediate absorption. Many clients report visible improvements in hair texture and nail strength after a course of sessions.

HP Cell Vitaran IV

HP Cell Vitaran is a premium multi-nutrient IV formulation that combines a broad range of vitamins, minerals and co-factors for comprehensive cellular support. It is popular for people who want a general energy and wellness boost rather than targeting a specific deficiency.
