Clinically reviewed, 25 October 2026. General information, not individual medical advice.
How do I choose the best IV drip in London for me?
The best starting point is the right clinician, not the longest ingredient list. A premium IV appointment should begin with your medical history, medicines and reason for considering treatment. It should give you a clear decision about suitability, a written price and a plan for monitoring and follow-up. A beautiful treatment room is welcome. It is not evidence that an infusion will improve your health.
If you are searching between meetings, after a long flight or while staying in London, convenience matters too. The Online GP can help you enquire about IV treatment through The Wellness, including a home visit where appropriate. Tell the team what you are hoping to address, where you will be and when you are available. The first step is a suitability discussion, not a commitment to buy a course.
Discuss IV treatment with The Wellness team
What makes an appointment worth paying more for?
Look for an answer to a practical question: who takes responsibility for your care? Before treatment, you should know who assesses you, who prescribes where necessary, who administers the infusion and how you can get help afterwards. The service should explain the proposed contents and dose, the reason for choosing them and the alternatives. These are more useful markers of quality than a label such as "executive" or "ultimate".
The Wellness's published clinic service includes health screening before the first infusion and medical oversight. Its standard clinic sessions are described as taking 45 to 90 minutes, although the appropriate duration depends on the treatment. This time is part of care, not simply time spent sitting beside a bag. Your exact treatment, setting, attendance time and inclusions should be confirmed before booking. [1]
For someone whose diary is crowded, a well-organised service reduces avoidable back-and-forth. It should not shorten an infusion unsafely to meet the next meeting. Leave room in your schedule for assessment, preparation and the clinician's judgement about whether to proceed.
What does the evidence say about IV vitamins?
IV treatment has genuine medical uses. That does not mean every wellness infusion has a proven benefit for an otherwise well person. A 2023 review in Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin found a lack of high-quality evidence that high-dose vitamin infusions are necessary or beneficial without a specific deficiency or medical condition. Mayo Clinic's patient guidance makes the same distinction between treating a nutritional need and broad wellness promises. [2,3]
Direct delivery into the bloodstream describes the route. It does not establish better energy, stronger immunity, improved skin or a longer life. Evidence about a vitamin's normal role in the body is not automatically evidence that a one-off IV blend will make a well person feel or perform better. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority expects claims to match the actual infusion, dose, patient group and outcome. [4]
That is why a premium service should be comfortable explaining when a drip is not the best use of your time or money. Persistent tiredness, dizziness or weakness may need a medical assessment rather than an ingredient upgrade. Tell the team about symptoms before selecting treatment from a menu.
Are NAD+ and iron infusions different?
Yes, and they should not be grouped together as interchangeable wellness options. NAD+ is involved in cellular metabolism, but that biological role does not establish an anti-ageing benefit from an infusion. A 2026 systematic review found no eligible clinical-outcome trials of IV or intramuscular NAD+ itself for anti-ageing or wellness within its search period. The review called clinical effectiveness inconclusive. That is uncertainty, not proof of rejuvenation. [5]
Iron replacement has a different evidence base. British Society of Gastroenterology guidance recommends considering intravenous iron when oral treatment is contraindicated, ineffective or not tolerated, with the clinical circumstances guiding the choice. The underlying reason for iron deficiency also needs attention. This evidence should not be used to promote unrelated vitamin drips. [6]
At The Wellness, iron treatment follows a review of blood results and is enquiry-only. Its published price starts at £950 including consultation and follow-up check. A request for more energy is not, on its own, a diagnosis of iron deficiency or a reason to infuse iron. [1]
How does premium London pricing compare?
For a dose-specific example, published 500 mg NAD+ prices checked on 25 October 2026 were £750 at Third Space, £799 for REVIV at Harrods and £850 at The Lanesborough Club & Spa. Harrods describes a B12 booster alongside its NAD+ treatment; Lanesborough includes spa access with treatments above £250. Those extras and the settings differ. These figures are examples, not a complete London market survey. [7-9]
The Wellness publishes £600 for NAD+ Therapy, described as 500 mg, with B vitamins and magnesium. Its clinic menu starts at £395 for Hydration Plus; Myer's Cocktail is £495 and Apex Performance £1,275. These are published clinic prices, not a blanket home-visit quotation. A more expensive formula is not necessarily more suitable or more effective. [1]
The useful comparison is the whole appointment: the proposed dose, assessment, clinical attendance, setting, time and aftercare. Ask for a full written total before confirming, especially for a home or hotel visit.
Can I arrange treatment at home or around a London visit?
Ask the team about home visits and explain your postcode or hotel, the reason for treatment and the time you have available. The treatment and location must be suitable, and the clinician needs to agree the plan. A home appointment is an attended clinical visit, not a bag to administer yourself.
Same-day clinic appointments are often available according to The Wellness's service page. For either clinic or home treatment, ask about same-day or next-day options; suitability and availability are confirmed before booking. Do not make a travel or work commitment on the assumption that a slot is reserved. [1]
Ask about a clinic or home IV appointment
What should I tell the team before booking?
Share your current medicines and supplements, allergies, relevant medical conditions and previous reactions to injections or infusions. Include any kidney or heart condition and whether you are pregnant or could be pregnant. IV treatment carries risks, including problems at the cannula site, infection and adverse effects from the contents or fluid. Screening matters even when a treatment is described as natural. [3]
If you are acutely unwell, say so at the start. Severe breathlessness, chest pain, collapse or a new stroke-like symptom is an emergency, not a concierge-drip booking. Call 999. [10] A private appointment should never delay urgent care.
For an unhurried decision, contact The Wellness with your goals and availability. Ask for the recommended next step and complete price. You can decide once you understand what is being offered and why.
