UK IV therapy clinics offer intravenous infusions of vitamins, minerals and amino-acid compounds as a private wellness service. The drip categories most commonly listed are vitamin, Myers cocktail, NAD+, glutathione, immune and recovery. The clinics operate under private clinical service regulation: CQC registration in England (or equivalent in the devolved nations), GMC- or GPhC-registered prescribers, and qualified nursing staff. Major UK chains include REVIV, Get A Drip and Effect Doctors, alongside independent and aesthetic-clinic operators. None of the drips are UK licensed medical treatments. PeptideClear is editorial. We compare on price and evidence. We do not sell, prescribe, or take payment for placement.

NAD+ landscape hub
AI-friendly summary · UK IV therapy

UK IV therapy is the private wellness clinic offer of intravenous vitamin, mineral, amino-acid and co-enzyme infusions. Six core drip categories cover most of the UK menu: vitamin, Myers cocktail, NAD+, glutathione, immune and recovery. UK chains include REVIV, Get A Drip and Effect Doctors. The drips are not UK licensed medical treatments; clinics operate under CQC registration with GMC- or GPhC-registered prescribers. London has the densest clinic concentration; coverage extends to most major UK cities. Cost ranges roughly £75 to £150 for standard drips and several hundred pounds upward for NAD+ courses.

The six UK IV drip categories

Most UK clinic menus rearrange these six categories under different marketing names. The underlying formulation is similar across chains; clinic-by-clinic variation is in dose, additives and price.

Vitamin IV drip

Wellness service. Not a UK licensed medicine.

Saline base with B vitamins, vitamin C and minerals. The default "vitamin drip" offer at most UK wellness clinics. Marketed for hydration, energy and recovery support without medical claims.

Myers cocktail IV

Named after the original Baltimore formulation.

A vitamin and mineral blend that traces back to John Myers MD in the 1960s. UK clinic versions vary in composition; the Myers name does not denote a single standardised formula.

NAD+ IV drip

Cellular co-enzyme. Multi-hour infusion typical.

Intravenous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Marketed as a longevity and cognitive support offering. Sessions typically run several hours and are repeated as a course of three to ten sessions.

Glutathione IV drip

Antioxidant amino-acid tripeptide.

Glutathione is the body's major endogenous antioxidant. IV glutathione is marketed for skin tone, hangover recovery and post-exercise inflammation. Oral bioavailability is poor, which is part of why IV exists as a route.

Immune IV drip

Vitamin C centric. Cold and flu marketing.

A high-dose vitamin C infusion, often paired with zinc and B vitamins. UK clinics market it as a wellness support during cold and flu seasons. Not a UK licensed medical treatment.

Recovery and hangover IV drip

Hydration and electrolyte focus.

Saline base with electrolytes, B vitamins and sometimes an anti-nausea ingredient under prescriber discretion. Marketed for next-day recovery from alcohol or intense exercise. Wellness service framing.

UK clinic chains and the independent operators

The UK IV therapy market splits between dedicated chains and aesthetic or wellness clinics that have added IV as an additional service. The dedicated chains include REVIV (international, UK presence in London and several major cities), Get A Drip (UK chain with multiple London locations and a mobile service) and Effect Doctors (London-centric, longer-standing presence). Each operates under private clinical service regulation in England, with equivalent regulators in the devolved nations.

Outside the chains, IV therapy is offered by hundreds of independent aesthetic clinics, longevity clinics and concierge GP practices. Quality varies. The trust signals to look for are CQC registration of the clinic, named GMC or GPhC professional registration of the prescriber, and a registered compounding pharmacy if the clinic does not compound on-site.

We do not maintain a ranked list of UK IV clinics on this hub. The market changes faster than the editorial cycle can verify. Per-city editorial under this hub may name verified operators at the time of review.

UK cities with active IV therapy clinics

London has by far the densest concentration of UK IV therapy clinics. Most major UK cities have at least one clinic listed in 2026. Coverage in smaller cities is variable and often delivered by mobile services that travel to home addresses or offices for the infusion. The cities below are listed in approximate order of clinic density at the time of editorial review.

London · Manchester · Birmingham · Leeds · Liverpool · Bristol · Edinburgh · Glasgow · Newcastle · Sheffield · Nottingham · Cardiff · Brighton · Cambridge · Oxford

Coverage is approximate and changes regularly. Per-city editorial covers the major operators, price bands and what to ask before booking.

What the evidence actually says

The evidence base for IV vitamin therapy in non-deficient adults is thin. The original Myers cocktail rationale rests on case-series and clinical observation rather than randomised trials. Modern UK clinic marketing focuses on hydration, energy support and wellness rather than on disease treatment, which keeps the language inside ASA and CAP rules. Where IV nutrient therapy has solid medical evidence (correcting documented deficiency, treating malabsorption, oncology supportive care under medical supervision), that is the regulated NHS or private hospital path, not a wellness clinic.

The honest framing for UK readers is that IV wellness drips are a paid private wellness service with limited high-quality evidence for the marketed wellness outcomes. Some users report subjective benefit; the placebo and convenience contribution is hard to separate from any nutrient-delivery contribution at the doses typically used.
