Premium NAD+ and Vitamin Infusions

This is perhaps the most thoughtful question we receive.

Here's the reality: even with perfect nutrition and premium supplements, your body's absorption capacity is limited by digestive efficiency, which varies dramatically based on gut health, stress levels, age, and individual genetic factors.

Most people absorb only 10-20% of oral vitamins.

But beyond absorption, there's something deeper happening with IV therapy. When nutrients bypass your digestive system entirely, they create what we call "therapeutic windows"—concentrations that simply cannot be achieved orally.

High-dose vitamin C, for instance, transforms from an antioxidant at oral doses into something entirely different at IV concentrations, acting more like a cellular signaling molecule that optimises immune function and energy production.

Think of it this way: eating well maintains your baseline. IV therapy creates opportunities for optimisation that your body may have never experienced, especially if you've been running on stress, poor sleep, or environmental toxins for years.

This question reveals sophisticated thinking about wellness investments.

The placebo effect in IV therapy is actually fascinating—it typically lasts 2-4 weeks maximum.

What Kylie observes with her clients is sustained energy, improved sleep, and enhanced mental clarity that extends far beyond placebo timelines, often lasting 4-6 weeks between sessions.

More importantly, many benefits aren't subjective. We often see improvements in objective markers: clients report better recovery from workouts, fewer sick days, improved stress resilience during challenging periods.

NAD+ therapy, specifically, creates cellular changes that compound over time—this isn't about feeling good for a few days, it's about optimising cellular function at a fundamental level.

The real question isn't whether it works, but whether the investment aligns with your health priorities. If you're already thriving, IV therapy might be luxury wellness. If you're struggling with fatigue, frequent illness, or stress-related symptoms despite "doing everything right," it often becomes transformative medicine.

Our body doesn't become "dependent" on IV nutrients—they're the same vitamins and minerals you'd get from food, just in therapeutic concentrations.

However, there's a psychological aspect worth exploring. Some people do become dependent on the ritual, the forced rest time, or the immediate energy boost. This isn't necessarily problematic if you're using IV therapy as part of a comprehensive wellness approach that includes proper nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle optimisation.

The sweet spot for most people is monthly maintenance after an initial series.

More frequent than weekly can become expensive habit rather than strategic wellness.

Less than quarterly often doesn't create the cumulative cellular benefits that make IV therapy worthwhile.

We encourage clients to view IV therapy as periods of intensive cellular support during high-stress times, seasonal changes, or when recovering from illness—not as a substitute for fundamental health practices.

While serious adverse reactions are extremely rare with IV nutrient therapy, they can occur.

The most common reactions are minor: lightheadedness, nausea, or discomfort at the injection site.

However, more serious reactions can include allergic responses to specific nutrients, electrolyte imbalances, or in rare cases, anaphylaxis. This is why proper screening, including health history and sometimes lab work, is non-negotiable.

What many people don't realise is that adverse reactions often provide valuable information about your body's current state. Someone who experiences significant nausea during vitamin C infusion might have underlying digestive inflammation. Discomfort with B vitamins could indicate methylation pathway dysfunction.

Kylie's 18+ years of nursing experience means she's trained in emergency response, but more importantly, she's skilled at adjusting infusion rates, dilution, and nutrient combinations to minimise discomfort while maximising benefit. The goal is always to work with your body's responses, not override them.

Honestly, IV therapy exists in a gray area between luxury wellness and medical treatment. The high cost does create barriers, and that's a legitimate concern about healthcare equity.

However, for many people dealing with chronic fatigue, frequent illness, high-stress careers, or recovery from significant health challenges, IV therapy provides therapeutic value that's difficult to achieve through other means. The question becomes: what's the cost of continued low energy, frequent sick days, or compromised quality of life?

We've seen clients reduce their spending on multiple supplements, decrease sick time, improve work performance, and enhance their overall vitality to the point where IV therapy becomes cost-effective wellness medicine rather than luxury treatment.

Perhaps the reality is — you're not sick enough for medical intervention, but you're not thriving either. IV therapy fills that gap, providing therapeutic support for people seeking optimisation rather than just treatment of disease.
