About this Drip
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is unique because it works in both fatty and watery tissues, allowing it to protect every single cell in your body. This "Combination Drip" is supercharged with B-Vitamins and Glutathione to maximize the effect. Our patients often choose this treatment to:
Support healthy weight management and metabolism.
Improve nerve function (often helpful for those with tingling or numbness).
Perform a "deep clean" detox of the body’s cells.
Reduce inflammation and brain fog.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits For your Body & Metabolism
Blood Sugar Support: ALA helps improve insulin sensitivity, which may help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings.
Nerve Health: Known to support healthy nerve function and reduce oxidative stress on the nervous system.
Energy Production: Works with the added B-Complex vitamins to convert nutrients into active energy.
For your Skin & Detox
The "Universal" Shield: Unlike other antioxidants, ALA penetrates all parts of the cell to scavenge free radicals and reduce inflammation.
Recycles Antioxidants: It actually helps regenerate other antioxidants (like Vitamin C and Glutathione), making them work longer.
Heavy Metal Detox: Along with the 750mg of Glutathione included, this drip aids in binding and removing heavy metals from the body.
How it works (The Science)
Your body makes small amounts of ALA, but production declines as we age. While you can take ALA orally, it is fragile and often degraded by stomach acid.
By administering ALA intravenously alongside Glutathione and a B-Complex, we bypass the digestive system completely. This delivers these powerful nutrients directly to your cells to support mitochondrial function (your cells' "power plants") and maximize absorption.
Complimentary Celluma® LED Light Therapy
All IV drip appointments at Epicare Health include complimentary professional-grade Celluma® LED Light Therapy during your infusion session. This relaxing, non-invasive treatment uses advanced LED wavelengths to support skin rejuvenation, recovery, relaxation, and overall wellness while you receive your drip.
Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your treatment while your Celluma® LED therapy runs alongside your infusion.
The Experience: What to expect
At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective.
Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the formulation is perfectly suited to your needs.
Relaxation: You will be seated comfortably in our clinic. Our experienced clinician will cleanse the area and gently insert a sterile micro-needle.
The Infusion: Depending on your specific formulation, the drip will be administered over 30 to 60 minutes (longer for specialist drips). During this time, you are free to read, work on your phone, or simply close your eyes and relax.
Celluma® LED Light Therapy: Every IV drip at Epicare Health includes complimentary medical-grade LED Light Therapy during your treatment session to promote relaxation, recovery, skin health, and overall wellness while you unwind.
Aftercare: Once finished, the cannula is removed, and a sterile dressing is applied. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients.
Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required.
