Do you want to boost a diminished immune system, treat chronic fatigue syndrome, overcome jet lag or reduce recovery time from a strenuous athletic event or competition or simply enhance your physical and mental performance?

Intravenous (IV) therapy, or vitamin drips, with selected medication, promise to help.

The idea behind IV therapy is to provide a more concentrated dose of nutrients and medication for the condition being treated.

According to Dr Bugwandin from Activecare clinic in Ballito, intravenous administration of nutrients and medication can achieve serum concentrations not attainable with oral, or even intramuscular administration.

Another benefit to IV therapy is that it delivers the necessary nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract.

For patients with digestive problems, it is the only way to get their essential vitamins and minerals.

Dr Bugwandin has customised the IV infusions to treat a variety of conditions, including Anaemia, complications of Diabetes, Fibromylagia, those undergoing  chemotherapy, patients with Peptic ulcers and GERD.

Aesthetic IV treatments are also available.

A popular choice is the The Super Immune Booster IV which helps combat the symptoms of colds and flu, fight fatigue and improve vitality.

There are also IV options to detox your body and regain clarity and drive.

Activecare Ballito offers medically supervised intravenous therapy and you can choose from a range of packages.

The whole process takes about 45 minutes from start to finish.

“IV vitamin drips can be used both proactively to maintain optimum wellness and to treat acute and chronic conditions,” said Dr Bugwandin.

Each drip is tailored to the patients’ needs with fl uids, electrolytes, vitamins, and possibly prescribed medications which are 100 percent bio-available directly into your
bloodstream.

To schedule a consult with Sr. Marinel Engelbrecht call 032 586 0949 or visit the Activecare clinic at shop 657A, Level 6, Ballito Junction Mall.
