Intravenous Vitamin
& Mineral Therapy
Physician-administered IV infusions that deliver essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and regenerative compounds directly into your bloodstream — bypassing the gut for complete bioavailability and immediate therapeutic effect.
The Science
Why Intravenous?
Maximum absorption.
When nutrients are taken orally, they must survive digestion, navigate the gastrointestinal tract, and clear the liver before reaching circulation — a process that reduces absorption to as little as 20–40% for many vitamins and minerals. Intravenous delivery bypasses this entirely, placing nutrients directly into the bloodstream at therapeutic concentrations impossible to achieve through diet or supplements alone.
At Vital Med Clinic, every IV protocol is physician-designed and administered under direct medical supervision. We use Skycare Compounding Laboratories formulations — sterile, pharmaceutical-grade preparations compounded to precise concentrations for safety and efficacy.
Our Protocols
IV Infusion Menu
Nine physician-formulated protocols, each targeting a specific physiological goal. All formulations are compounded by Skycare Compounding Laboratories — sterile, pharmaceutical-grade, and isotonic to blood.
Protocol 01
Myers'
Cocktail
The Myers' Cocktail is the gold standard of IV micronutrient therapy — a time-tested formulation developed by the late Dr. John Myers and refined over decades of clinical use. It delivers a precisely calibrated blend of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, and selenium directly into the bloodstream, rapidly correcting deficiencies that accumulate through stress, illness, poor diet, or high physiological demand.
Many patients struggling with chronic fatigue, recurrent headaches, fibromyalgia, or low resilience find that even a single infusion produces a noticeable shift in energy, clarity, and physical ease. Used as part of a regular protocol, it forms a powerful foundation for overall health and cellular resilience.
- Replenishes depleted micronutrients rapidly
- Supports energy production at the cellular level
- Reduces muscle cramps and tension
- Improves immune system resilience
- Helps regulate mood and nervous system function
Protocol 02
High-Dose
Vitamin C
At oral doses, vitamin C absorption is capped by gut transport mechanisms — the body saturates them and eliminates the excess. Delivered intravenously at 12.5 grams, plasma concentrations reach levels simply unachievable through diet or supplementation, unlocking its most potent biological effects as an antioxidant, immune modulator, and collagen co-factor.
Research supports high-dose IV vitamin C as adjunctive therapy in cancer care, reducing treatment side effects and supporting quality of life. It also plays a powerful role in antiviral defence, skin health, and post-illness recovery — making it one of the most clinically versatile infusions in our repertoire.
- Potent antioxidant — neutralizes free radical damage at high plasma concentrations
- Supports collagen synthesis and skin integrity
- Enhances immune cell activity against pathogens
- Adjunctive support during cancer care protocols
- Anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties at therapeutic dose
Protocol 03
NAD⁺
Infusion
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is the coenzyme at the centre of cellular energy metabolism. Every cell in the body relies on it to convert nutrients into ATP — the fuel that powers every biological process. NAD⁺ levels decline significantly with age, chronic stress, and illness, contributing to fatigue, cognitive slowing, and accelerated cellular aging.
Delivered intravenously at 250mg, NAD⁺ bypasses the conversion inefficiencies of oral precursors, directly replenishing cellular stores. It activates sirtuins — longevity-associated proteins involved in DNA repair and inflammation control — and has shown striking results in addiction recovery, neurodegenerative support, and cognitive enhancement.
- Restores cellular energy metabolism (ATP production)
- Activates sirtuins — key longevity and DNA-repair proteins
- Supports neurological function and mental clarity
- Aids in addiction and withdrawal recovery
- Slows aspects of cellular aging and oxidative decline
Protocol 04
Glutathione
Push
Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant — a tripeptide synthesized in every cell that sits at the intersection of detoxification, immune defence, and cellular protection. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species, supports the liver's Phase II detoxification pathways, regenerates vitamins C and E, and plays a central role in skin pigmentation and tone.
Our Glutathione Push delivers 1,000mg of reduced (active) glutathione intravenously — the only delivery method that meaningfully raises intracellular levels. Oral glutathione is largely degraded before absorption. The IV push is rapid, efficient, and produces visible results in skin tone and systemic oxidative burden with consistent use.
- Master antioxidant — protects all cell types from oxidative damage
- Supports hepatic (liver) detoxification pathways
- Reduces systemic oxidative stress
- Improves skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation
- Enhances immune surveillance and cellular repair
Protocol 05
Hydration
Boost
Even mild dehydration — as little as 2% body water loss — impairs cognitive function, physical performance, and mood. When compounded by electrolyte loss from vomiting, excessive sweating, alcohol, or intense exercise, the consequences are immediate: headache, nausea, fatigue, and muscle cramping.
The Hydration Boost delivers a balanced electrolyte solution directly into the bloodstream, restoring fluid volume and mineral balance within minutes rather than the hours required for oral rehydration. It is one of the fastest and most effective interventions for acute dehydration and hangover recovery — the same clinical principle used in emergency medicine, applied in a comfortable clinic setting.
- Restores fluid and electrolyte balance rapidly
- Relieves hangover and dehydration symptoms
- Reduces nausea and headache
- Supports recovery from heat exhaustion
- Ideal preparation before or after athletic competition
Protocol 06
Athletic
Performance
Peak athletic performance demands more than training — it requires a body fully fuelled, recovered, and operating at cellular capacity. The Athletic Performance infusion combines a comprehensive electrolyte matrix with the full spectrum of fat-soluble and B vitamins, supporting energy metabolism, muscle function, antioxidant defence, and rapid tissue repair.
Whether preparing for competition, recovering from intense training, or rehabilitating an injury, this protocol ensures your body has everything it needs to perform and adapt. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and neuromuscular signalling; the vitamin complex fuels mitochondrial function; and the electrolyte base mirrors blood plasma composition for optimal cellular uptake.
- Accelerates muscle repair and reduces post-exercise soreness
- Enhances mitochondrial energy output and endurance
- Supports lean muscle synthesis and adaptation
- Reduces lactic acid build-up during intense effort
- Optimizes recovery between training sessions
Protocol 07
Energy
NRG
The Energy (NRG) infusion is the Skycare MVM/Mg/L-Carnitine formulation — designed to address the root causes of fatigue at the cellular level. It combines dextrose as an immediate glucose source with the complete suite of B vitamins required to convert that fuel into ATP through the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Levocarnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, enabling sustained fat oxidation for clean, lasting energy. Magnesium activates over 300 enzymatic reactions — including every step of ATP synthesis. Together with the complete vitamin panel (including Methylcobalamin B12 and Folic Acid), this infusion corrects deficiencies linked to anaemia, insomnia, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue — common contributors to the chronic low energy many patients accept as normal.
- Drives ATP production via dextrose and the complete B-vitamin complex
- Levocarnitine unlocks mitochondrial fat oxidation for sustained energy
- Magnesium activates over 300 energy-related enzymatic reactions
- Methylcobalamin (B12) supports red blood cell formation and combats fatigue
- Corrects deficiencies linked to anaemia, insomnia, and thyroid dysfunction
- Improves mental clarity, focus, and cognitive endurance
Protocol 08
Beauty
Glow
The Beauty Glow is Vital Med Clinic's premium aesthetic infusion — the Skycare Radiance formulation (MVM/Se/Zn/AA) — designed to nourish skin health from the inside out. It combines the most skin-critical micronutrients with a complete profile of 13 amino acids that serve as the direct building blocks of collagen, elastin, and keratin: the structural proteins that determine skin firmness, elasticity, and texture.
Vitamins A, C, D, and E work synergistically as antioxidants and skin-repair co-factors. Zinc regulates sebum production and accelerates wound healing. Selenium protects skin cells from UV-induced oxidative damage. Niacinamide (B3) reduces inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier. This is a comprehensive nutritional intervention addressing the biochemical foundations of healthy, radiant skin — not just its surface appearance.
- Amino acids provide the direct building blocks for collagen and elastin synthesis
- Vitamins A, C, D, E deliver antioxidant protection and skin-repair support
- Zinc regulates sebum and accelerates skin cell healing
- Selenium protects against UV and environmental oxidative skin damage
- Niacinamide (B3) reduces inflammation and supports the skin barrier
- Improves skin tone, texture, and radiance with consistent use
Protocol 09
Immune
Shield
The Immune Shield is Vital Med Clinic's most comprehensive infusion — the Skycare M-UNE formulation (MVM/Mg/Se/Zn/AA) — containing 29 active ingredients that address every major dimension of immune function: innate immunity, adaptive immunity, antioxidant defence, cellular repair, and anti-inflammatory modulation.
The complete B-vitamin complex (B1 through B12, including Biotin and Folic Acid) supports lymphocyte proliferation and immune cell energy metabolism. Vitamins A, C, D, and E provide antioxidant protection and directly regulate immune signalling pathways. Zinc and Selenium are essential cofactors for immune enzyme activity and protection against viral replication. The complete amino acid panel provides the raw material for antibody synthesis, tissue repair, and cytokine production — the biochemical language of immune function. This is the protocol of choice for acute illness, post-surgical recovery, and patients whose immune resilience has been compromised by chronic stress or prolonged illness.
