What to expect

From the cannula to feeling yourself again — here's how the session goes.

Getting started

After a quick physician assessment, your nurse checks your vitals and places a fine cannula — it feels like a standard injection.

During the drip

You relax while the formula infuses directly into your bloodstream at full potency.

Afterwards

The cannula comes out and you carry on with your day — no downtime.

How often

Your nurse advises on frequency based on your goals and how you respond.

Book this drip

Pick a time or start below — choose IV Infusion Therapy and a DHA-licensed nurse will be at your door, usually within 45 minutes.

Before your drip

How to prepare

No fasting required and nothing to avoid beforehand. Eat normally and drink water — being hydrated makes the cannula easier and the session more comfortable. Wear sleeves that roll up. Vitamin C is infused at a controlled rate rather than pushed, because giving it quickly can cause nausea, dizziness and a drop in blood pressure. Allow the full session time.

Is this for me?

Who this drip is for

For people topping up during a demanding period, before or after travel, or alongside a skin and general-wellness routine. Healthy adults. Not suitable if you have kidney disease or a history of kidney stones, or in G6PD deficiency, because high-dose vitamin C is processed by the kidneys and can trigger problems in those conditions — our doctor reviews your history before the first session.

About this drip

Everything you need to know about the Vitamin C Express

Packed with high-dose vitamin C, this infusion supports immune defense, collagen production, and antioxidant protection.

30 min90–100% absorption1 compoundAt home · 24/7

Most people file vitamin C under immunity and leave it there. Biochemically it is something more specific: a cofactor that a small set of enzymes cannot operate without. When it runs low those particular reactions slow down, and the resulting complaints look nothing like a cold.

The enzymes that stop working properly

Vitamin C is required by the hydroxylase enzymes that stabilise collagen, which is why healing slows and gums bleed when it is severely short. It is also required to synthesise carnitine, the molecule that carries fat into mitochondria to be burned for energy, and by dopamine beta-hydroxylase, the enzyme that converts dopamine into noradrenaline. That combination explains a symptom picture which otherwise makes little sense together: fatigue that sleep does not fix, flat motivation, slow healing and easy bruising, all traceable to one missing cofactor.

The adrenal glands use it fastest

The adrenal glands hold more vitamin C per gram of tissue than any other organ, and they spend it during the synthesis and release of cortisol and adrenaline. Under sustained pressure — long working hours, disrupted sleep, back-to-back travel — that expenditure runs continuously. The stores are drawn down by exactly the circumstances that make you least likely to be eating well, which is a large part of why prolonged stress and vitamin C depletion tend to arrive together.

Vitamin C and iron travel together

Dietary iron mostly arrives in a ferric form that the intestine cannot transport. Vitamin C reduces it to the ferrous form that can be absorbed, which is why iron is conventionally taken with something acidic and vitamin C rich. It plays a similar reducing role for iron already in circulation, helping it move between transport and storage proteins. Where low iron and low vitamin C are both in the picture, a common combination in people eating little meat, the two are worth considering together rather than in isolation.

What the environment here costs you

Vitamin C is consumed, not merely carried, and several things about living in Dubai raise the rate of consumption. Year-round ultraviolet exposure generates a continuous oxidative load in skin. Long hours in heavily conditioned air dry the respiratory lining that vitamin C helps maintain. Frequent flying, high work intensity and short sleep keep adrenal demand elevated. Intake, meanwhile, tends to stay flat. The gap between the two is where a deficit forms quietly.

Who chooses a single-compound drip

This one does a single thing well. It suits someone who wants vitamin C specifically rather than a blend: for skin and collagen support, through a demanding training block, alongside work on low iron, or as a first experience of intravenous therapy before committing to anything broader. It is a nutritional measure and not a treatment for infection — if you are unwell with a fever, that needs a doctor's assessment on its own terms. A DHA-licensed nurse delivers the session at your home, hotel or office, and a doctor reviews your history and medication with you beforehand.

Still have questions?
Our DHA-licensed care team is available 24/7.
At the IV route, 1,000 mg is a well-tolerated therapeutic dose that produces meaningful plasma concentrations for immune, collagen, and antioxidant support. It is significantly below the gram-level doses used in oncology protocols, which can exceed 50,000 mg. For general wellness and immunity, 1,000mg IV is clinically appropriate and widely used in outpatient IV therapy settings globally.
The dose is the same on paper — the plasma result is entirely different. Oral Vitamin C at 1,000mg produces a plasma concentration of around 15mg/L due to the gut absorption ceiling. The same dose delivered intravenously produces approximately 220 mg/L—roughly 15 times higher. Most of Vitamin C's concentration-dependent functions, including collagen synthesis optimization and glutathione regeneration, require plasma levels that only IV delivery achieves.
Yes, and this is one of the most common times to use it. Vitamin C is consumed by immune cells at a dramatically accelerated rate during active infection. IV delivery restores plasma levels quickly regardless of gut absorption, which is often compromised during illness. It is most effective when administered at the onset of symptoms rather than after several days.
Plasma Vitamin C levels return to baseline within a few days as the kidneys regulate circulating levels. However, the downstream effects — replenished adrenal stores, restored glutathione pools, supported collagen synthesis — persist for one to two weeks or longer. For ongoing benefits, a maintenance session every two to four weeks is a common protocol.
Yes — and this combination is particularly effective. Vitamin C regenerates oxidised glutathione, extending its activity, while glutathione supports the antioxidant network that Vitamin C operates within. The two work synergistically rather than redundantly. Your nurse can advise on whether to combine them in the same session or space them out depending on your goals.
People with a history of kidney stones — particularly calcium oxalate stones — or significant kidney disease should discuss this with their doctor before booking, as high-dose Vitamin C can increase oxalate excretion. For people with normal kidney function, IV Vitamin C at 1,000mg is safe and well tolerated with no significant contraindications.
