Chelation Therapy
An effective intravenous procedure that uses EDTA, a chelating agent, to treat heavy metal intoxication. This FDA-approved treatment binds with the harmful metals (mercury, cadmium, aluminium and lead) present in the body and eliminates them through the kidneys.
IV Chelation therapy is a procedure that removes substances such as heavy metals from the body through administration of chelating agents intravenously.
Working against chronic disease
When metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Chelation therapy is a treatment that uses medicine to remove these metals so they don't make you sick. Some alternative health care providers also use it to treat heart disease, autism, and Alzheimer's disease.

Chelation Therapy
Heart Disease
Researchers conducted a large series of studies to assess whether chelation therapy may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people who have previously had a heart attack. The most notable conclusion from these studies was that a chelation drug regimen led to a reduction in cardiovascular events in people older than 50 with diabetes.
Chelation Therapy
Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease may be the result of a buildup of proteins, beta-amyloid, and tau around the brain cells. Some people believe that chelation therapy may help with Alzheimer’s disease by dissolving the beta-amyloid.
Chelation Therapy
Autism
Older research implies that autistic children contain higher levels of toxic metals in their bodies than children who are not autistic. For this reason, some people believe that chelation therapy may be useful in this instance to reduce the level of these metals.

How does Chelation Therapy work?
CHELATION THERAPY
Removing heavy metals from the body through administration of chelating agents intravenously.
The name chelation comes from the Greek 'chele', meaning claw, which refers to the 'claw-like' structure of the organic chemical ethylene diamine tetra-acetic (EDTA), the most universally used substance for this process.
EDTA is a man-made amino acid, which has a particular affinity for toxic metals such as mercury, cadmium, aluminium and lead. If EDTA meets with these substances through an intravenous infusion, they are 'grabbed' and then secreted in bodily wastes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your questions to make you feel comfortable.
Yes. Our IV Therapies and Booster Shots were developed by board certified emergency physicians and pharmacists utilising knowledge based on decades of clinical experience. We have an excellent safety profile. It should be noted that all medical therapies carry a risk, therefore it is important for the patient to understand the risks, benefits and alternatives and to receive therapies only from certified medical personnel.
IV nutrient drips often take around 30-60 minutes on average to administer. This follows a short 15 minute consultation ahead of your treatment to go through your medical history.
IV Nutrient Therapy directly introduces 100% of the vitamins and nutrients into your system. Ingested vitamins and nutrients are subject to the absorption barrier in the gastrointestinal tract. You need to ingest vitamins and nutrients in larger amounts and more frequently in order to achieve similar concentration as you would via intravenous or intramuscular supplementation. Ingestion of large amounts of vitamins can result in upset stomach, and in certain circumstances and conditions, this absorption can be severely limited resulting in deficiencies that can upset the delicate balance of the body. If you find it difficult to maintain oral supplementation or struggle to feel the effects due to the reduced absorption orally, IV Nutrient Therapy is right for you.
Following your consultation with our medical professional, we will advise on the best wellness programme for you, including frequency of treatments and the ingredient levels.
One of the main benefits of IV Therapy is fast, more effective results without gastrointestinal side effects, absorption issues or loss of potency.
The process allows the nutrients to go right into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system allowing you to have more energy, think more clearly, and enjoy a better mood.
The benefits will differ depending on the condition treated, the protocol used, the overall health of the client, and how many treatments are done. Some reported benefits include:
- Stronger immunity (warding off a cold or flu)
- Enhanced mood
- Increased sports recovery time
- More energy
- Improved concentration and mental focus
- Increased calmness and relaxation
- Balanced blood sugar
- Improved sleep patterns
- Improved jetlag
- Improved hangover
- Boosted fertility and hormonal imbalance
- Improved complexion
- Reduced signs of ageing
Our eligibility criteria are based on the same decision making algorithms utilised in hospitals. We do not make any medical diagnoses and our therapies are not intended to treat any medical condition. Our therapies are designed to restore balance to your body and help you maintain wellness.
You will be met at one of our clinics by our friendly healthcare team who will offer you a drink and a comfortable area to relax in while your IV Drip is administered. A healthcare professional will be present throughout your treatment, who will be able to answer questions you may have while the therapy is ongoing and upon its completion.
