Infusion Therapy – Drip-Spa

The latest trend for strengthening the body and mind is called „Drip Spa“ [from the English word “drip”]. Drip Spa provides a natural energy boost and gives the body a real vitamin boost. The intravenous vitamin cocktails are individually formulated by me and my team of doctors and are true power infusions containing high doses of vitamins and minerals.

Whether for treatment or prevention, infusions are the only way to ensure the proper absorption of active ingredients. These infusions not only help patients recover after surgery, but they also serve as fantastic preventive blends for healthy people.

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements, and antioxidants enter the bloodstream directly, where they are immediately available to the body and can help boost and improve the body’s immune system and recovery capabilities. Infusion therapy thus has a decisive advantage over the oral intake of vitamins and active ingredients.

What types of IV treatments do we offer?

Arginine: Arginine is an essential component in the production of nitric oxide in the body. Studies have shown that nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, improves blood flow, and lowers blood pressure. If there is not enough arginine available, it can lead to circulatory problems, high blood pressure, and even erectile dysfunction. Since arginine may interact with blood pressure or heart medications, it should only be taken as directed by a doctor.

Carnitine: Carnitine or L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Carnitine plays an essential role in Energy Metabolism in the transport of fatty acids between Cytosol and the Cell organelles such as the Mitochondria.Carnitine regulates fat burning, and when combined with physical activity, it boosts the body's fat-burning process. It is found in beef, as well as in broccoli and chanterelle mushrooms.

D-Biotin: Biotin (also known as Vitamin B₇ or Vitamin H (as defined) is a water-soluble Vitamin from the B-Complex. It acts as a cofactor for Enzymes plays an important role in metabolism, but is also found in the Cell nucleus important for the epigenetic Regulation of gene function. The following symptoms have been observed in humans as a result of biotin deficiency: Skin Conditions, Depression, extreme fatigue, drowsiness, Muscle pain, Hypersensitivity, local sensations, Loss of appetite, Nausea, Hair Loss, changes in hair color, brittle Nails, increased Cholesterol Levels, abnormally high levels of odd-numbered Fatty Acids, disorders of the Heart function, Anemia, pale gray Skin color, and an increased susceptibility to infections was also observed.

Folic acid: Folic acid (vitamin B9) belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins and plays a role in various growth and metabolic processes. A deficiency primarily affects cells that divide rapidly (e.g., blood cells). A folic acid deficiency can develop if one consumes insufficient amounts of lettuce, leafy vegetables, and citrus fruits. This can lead to anemia, accompanied by fatigue, pallor, irritability, shortness of breath, and dizziness. During pregnancy, a folic acid deficiency can lead to fetal malformations (neural tube defects).

Glutathione: Glutathione is one of the most important cellular antioxidants and is often referred to as the “master antioxidant” of cells. It is a sulfur-containing tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine. It is produced in the liver and is a significant water-soluble cellular antioxidant and an important enzyme cofactor. It is present in every cell of the body and is essential for the body’s immune defense.

Thiamine: Vitamin B1 (also known as thiamine) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a particularly important role in energy metabolism. It acts as a coenzyme in the production of energy from carbohydrates, is involved in amino acid metabolism (proteins), and is also essential for the nervous system. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency include muscle weakness and numbness in the extremities, as well as edema and heart failure. A thiamine deficiency leads to neurological symptoms and disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism. If your feet tingle, burn, or sometimes feel numb, this may indicate that nerve damage is already present. Doctors refer to this as neuropathy. The nerve damage can also manifest as pain in the feet.

Nicotinamide: Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide (NMN), is the Amid the Nicotinic acid (Niacin, Vitamin B₃). It is of great biochemical importance as a key component of coenzymes NAD⁺ and NADP⁺ . In cosmetic products such as hair and skin care products, nicotinamide has a smoothing effect and neutralizes irregularities on the skin's surface. Nicotinamide stimulates protein synthesis, Keratin and Ceramides on the skin. This has a positive effect on skin conditions such as Acne and Rosacea and reduces skin aging („anti-aging effect“).

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is needed, among other things, for the formation of connective tissue (collagen), bones, and teeth. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, which means it neutralizes harmful compounds such as free radicals and reactive oxygen species, thereby protecting the body’s cells and molecules from damage. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical activity. It is important for normal collagen formation and for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth, and contributes to normal psychological function. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and protects against oxidative stress. Vitamin C helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and increases iron absorption. It is an essential component of infusion therapy, as it acts as a cofactor in the metabolism of many substances.

Taurine: Taurine is a semi-essential amino acid that is synthesized in human liver cells from cysteine and obtained through the diet. Some studies have shown that taurine levels in human muscle and brain tissue decline with age. Current studies are investigating the extent to which the loss of taurine contributes to the aging process. Accordingly, the concentration of taurine in the blood decreases with age. Laboratory studies show that taurine can also promote the growth and connection of new brain cells, thereby restoring brain function in older adults that was previously thought to be lost. In addition, researchers found that administering taurine to mice and monkeys extended the animals„ healthy lifespan before the onset of age-related diseases and improved the function of the bones, muscles, pancreas, brain, intestines, and immune system. Many people are familiar with taurine from the energy drink “Red Bull,” but taurine itself has no stimulating effect; on the contrary, it actually has a calming effect. A taurine deficiency, however, is clearly associated with stress and, consequently, poor sleep.

NAD+: What is NAD+? We all want more energy, peak performance, and to age more slowly, and there is a solution: the biomolecule NAD+. NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The molecule has two forms—an active form and an inactive form. In its active form, it is known as NAD+, and in its inactive form, as NADH. The molecule plays a key role in converting food into energy, maintaining DNA integrity, and ensuring proper cell function and repair. Humans actually only have ideal levels of NAD+ at birth; we need this particularly important coenzyme for metabolic activities and, consequently, for the body’s energy production in the mitochondria. With increasing age, NAD+ levels in the body naturally decline slowly but steadily. The result is an undersupply to the mitochondria and impaired mitochondrial function, leading to apoptosis, or natural cell death. Consequently, damage to genetic material becomes increasingly difficult to repair with advancing age, and many types of diseases—so-called age-related diseases—can develop.

However, the decline in NAD+ levels can also be attributed to other significant factors:

■ excessive calorie intake
■ Sugar Intake
■ Use of alcohol, nicotine, and drugs
■ Chronic inflammatory diseases

According to the latest findings, there is also a direct link between low NAD+ levels and Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and heart disease. This powerful coenzyme has far-reaching therapeutic potential. In 2017, an international research team discovered that NAD+ plays a crucial role in enabling cells to repair damaged DNA. One of the vital biochemical reactions influenced by NAD+ is the function of sirtuins, a family of proteins known as longevity genes. Sirtuins are produced by nearly every cell in the body and regulate aging by turning genes on and off, particularly those involved in the aging process.

Sirutuines also protect telomeres. The ends of chromosomes are called telomeres. They act as a „protective cap.“ Telomeres protect chromosomes from degradation and ensure the error-free functionality and viability of cells. Over the course of a lifetime, these telomeres gradually shorten; once they become too short, the cells can no longer replicate. Telomeres gradually shorten with age, impairing the ability of stem cells to generate tissue. This leads to cellular aging processes. Mental performance, in particular, declines, and the immune system becomes increasingly compromised.

Compared to oral administration via capsules, the NAD+ infusion ensures safer, faster, and more effective absorption.
Only through this infusion can 100 percent bioavailability be guaranteed and the body be allowed to regenerate as effectively as possible.

This leads to an increase in overall well-being and greater physical and mental energy.
Maintaining Cognitive Functions
(Focus, memory, concentration, comprehension) is supported
This leads to the activation of the brain's neural function.
Metabolism is stimulated, and the
Cell regeneration (repair of damaged DNA) begins.
It also helps reduce chronic inflammation in the body.

Indications:

Everyone over the age of 30 can benefit from a NAD+ infusion, as cellular function gradually declines with age. The infusion is particularly effective for the following conditions:

■ Depression, Mood Disorders
■ Diabetes
■ Weight Management
■ Recovery from Injuries
■ Mitochondrial dysfunction
■ Chronic Fatigue
■ States of Exhaustion
■ Support During Recovery
■ Memory/concentration problems
■ Side Effects Associated with Withdrawal Symptoms (Alcohol, Medications, Nicotine, Drugs)
