About this Drip
Selenium is a "trace mineral," meaning your body only needs a small amount—but without that small amount, your thyroid, immune system, and metabolism cannot function. Because modern farming has depleted selenium from the soil, it is increasingly difficult to get enough from food alone. Our patients, particularly those with hormonal concerns, choose this targeted infusion to:
Support Thyroid function (especially for those with hypothyroidism)
Boost the immune system against viruses.
Improve fertility (in both men and women).
Combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits For Hormones & Thyroid
The Thyroid "Switch": Your thyroid needs Selenium to convert "Inactive" hormones (T4) into "Active" hormones (T3). Without Selenium, you may feel tired and sluggish even if your blood tests look "normal."
Gland Protection: It reduces inflammation in the thyroid gland, helping to protect it from autoimmune antibodies.
Metabolic Fire: By supporting thyroid hormones, Selenium helps regulate your metabolism and energy levels.
For Immunity & Fertility
Viral Defense: Selenium deficiency is linked to weaker immunity. Maintaining optimal levels helps your white blood cells fight off infections.
Fertility Support: Essential for reproductive health. In men, it supports sperm motility; in women, it helps create a healthy environment for conception.
Master Antioxidant: Selenium is required to produce "Glutathione Peroxidase," an enzyme that protects your cells from DNA damage and aging.
How it works (The Science)
You cannot produce Selenium naturally; it must come from diet. However, due to soil depletion, many healthy diets are still deficient in this vital mineral. Oral supplements can be tricky—absorption varies, and it is easy to take too much or too little. This IV drip delivers a precise, medical-grade dose of 100 micrograms directly into your bloodstream. This bypasses the gut, ensuring safe and immediate uptake by your thyroid and immune cells.
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.
