We know that you need “fuel in the tank” in order for your motor car to move. You also need to check your water and oil occasionally to ensure the vehicle operates optimally. Added to this, an annual service is required to ensure longevity of that vehicle. Our bodies require just as much care.

We know we should eat 3 balanced meals a day, drink approximately 8 glasses of water, get 8 hrs of sleep and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day – in order for our bodies to function optimally. You get a gold star if you are one of the very few that is able to manage all of the above on a daily basis.

Family life, work pressure and social commitments play a role in us not being able to achieve this and cause stress on the body that manifests itself in so many different ways. It is therefore necessary to provide supplementation to counteract these negative influences. We look for shortcuts such as juicing our breakfast or having a protein shake for lunch.

Enter....IV Infusions. These are currently one of the best alternatives to nutritional supplementation.
Why you may ask? Well research will show that we only absorb around 40-50% of nutrients (including food) taken orally. This means we need to eat more to get more – which is not ideal.

This low absorption rate is due to a number of factors such as reduced quality of food nutrition due to mass production and pollution. This is compounded by our own health issues and that of our digestive tracts. Numbers are increasing for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Leaky Gut which only worsens absorption. By targeting the blood stream with an IV treatment full of vitamins and minerals we are guaranteed better absorption of almost 100%. It’s a no brainer really!

At Pure Aesthetics, we offer various vitamin cocktails aimed at brightening the skin and treating its overall health. It happens to be, that the IV infusions have loads of other positive side effects too, such as increased energy, improved mental focus, physical performance and general well-being.
