IV nutrient therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes straight into a vein through a small cannula. Because it bypasses digestion, the full dose reaches your bloodstream. It is most useful when you are dehydrated, run down, or too nauseous to keep oral supplements down. Results differ from person to person, and a drip works best as a short-term reset, not a replacement for food and sleep.
What is in an IV nutrient drip?
Most drips start with a balanced saline base for hydration, then add nutrients chosen for your goal:
- Vitamin C: antioxidant support and normal immune function.
- B-complex: helps your cells turn food into energy.
- Magnesium: supports muscle and nerve function and helps you relax.
- Vitamins A, D3 and E: support skin, vision, bones and antioxidant defence.
- Electrolytes (sodium, potassium): restore fluid balance after heat, sweat or illness.
The best-known blend is the Myers cocktail, a mix of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Our doctors adjust each formula to your symptoms and medical history. You can see the full range of vitamin drips in Bali on our wellness page.
What can it help with?
- Rehydration: this is the clearest benefit. A drip restores fluids and electrolytes quickly after heat, travel, illness or hard training. If your dehydration comes from a heavy night, our hangover drip packages in Bali are built for that.
- Energy and clarity: B vitamins support energy metabolism, so people who are low on them often notice the most change.
- Immune support: vitamin C supports normal immune function, and our Liquid Immunity drip is designed around that. A drip does not make you immune to infection.
- Recovery after exercise: fluids and electrolytes help you bounce back after long surf, gym or sports days.
- Skin: hydration and antioxidants can leave skin looking fresher in the short term.
Evidence is strongest for rehydration and for correcting deficiencies. For energy, mood and immunity in otherwise healthy people, research is limited and mixed, so we do not promise specific results.
Who is it for?
IV therapy suits travellers dealing with jet lag, surfers and gym-goers, people recovering from heat or a stomach upset, and busy professionals who feel flat despite sleeping and eating well.
Who should check with a doctor first?
Tell us before booking if you have a heart or kidney condition, are pregnant, take regular medication, or have allergies. A doctor screens every guest before treatment. IV therapy does not treat chronic disease and does not replace medical care.
Side effects are usually minor, such as bruising or tenderness where the cannula goes in. Rarely, a vein can become irritated or the site can become infected, which is why we use sterile, single-use equipment.
What to expect
- You message us on WhatsApp and share your symptoms and health history.
- A nurse checks your vitals, and a doctor reviews your plan.
- The nurse places the cannula and starts the infusion, which usually takes 30 to 60 minutes while you rest.
- We give you aftercare tips and follow up on WhatsApp.
You can visit our clinic in Kuta, or we can come to you with a mobile IV drip in Bali at your villa or hotel.
How often can you have one?
Many people have a single drip as a reset after travel, illness or a big event. Others repeat it every few weeks. More is not better, so our doctor will advise a schedule based on your history and goals. Message us on WhatsApp and our team will help you choose the right drip.
