About this Drip
Folate (Vitamin B9) is essential for your mood and energy. However, up to 40% of the population carries a genetic variation (known as MTHFR) which can reduce the efficiency of converting folate into its active form. If you take vitamins but still feel tired or "low," your body might be unable to absorb them. Our patients choose this advanced formulation to:
Bypass genetic absorption issues (MTHFR).
Prepare the body for a healthy pregnancy.
Combat unexplained fatigue and brain fog.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits For Your Mood & Mind
The "Happy" Vitamin: Folate is a key ingredient your brain needs to produce Serotonin, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine—the neurotransmitters that regulate your mood and happiness.
Brain Fog: Low folate levels are directly linked to cognitive decline and poor memory. Restoring these levels helps sharpen your mind.
For Your Body & DNA
Cellular Construction: Folate is required to make DNA and repair cells. It is vital for growing healthy red blood cells (preventing anemia).
Pregnancy Support: Adequate active folate is critical for women of childbearing age to support healthy fetal development.
Homocysteine Control: Helps lower high levels of homocysteine in the blood, which is a risk factor for heart health issues.
How it works (The Science)
Standard "Folic Acid" is synthetic. To use it, your body must convert it through four complex steps into Methylfolate. If you have a genetic blockage (MTHFR) or a stressed liver, this conversion fails. The Folate Active Drip skips the conversion process entirely. We deliver L-Methylfolate—the biologically active form—directly into your bloodstream. This means your cells can use it immediately, regardless of your genetics
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.
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.
