Personalised IV nutrition at Cellora: how the formula is built from test data

IV vitamin therapy is widely available; the difference lies in what determines the formula. Clinics using set menus give everyone the same drip, while a test-led approach adjusts to the values actually found.

Values commonly used include nutrient status from genetic function testing, urine organic acids reflecting B-vitamin utilisation, and inflammatory markers indicating the load the body is carrying.

The reason nutrients are given on the same day as cell therapy is environmental: when cells enter the body, an internal state with adequate nutrients and lower inflammation is considered more favourable.

On safety, intravenous administration carries inherent risks including vein irritation, allergic reaction and, in some cases, renal load — so it must be performed by medical staff after assessment.

Anyone with kidney or heart disease, G6PD deficiency, or who is pregnant must disclose it, since some agents — high-dose vitamin C, for example — are unsuitable in certain conditions.

For continuity after returning home, request a written summary of what you received and any oral supplement advice, so a physician in your own country can safely continue care.
