IV Nutrient Therapy

Clarus Health offers a physician-curated menu of intravenous nutrient infusions designed to address specific physiological demands — from high stress and exercise recovery to chronic fatigue and immune support. Formulations include essential amino acids, high-dose vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, trace minerals, glutathione, and alpha-lipoic acid delivered directly into the bloodstream for immediate cellular uptake. IV delivery bypasses digestive absorption variability, achieving plasma concentrations that are not attainable through oral supplementation alone. Protocols are tailored to each client's health history, lab results, and current goals by the Clarus medical team.

Clarus Health's IV nutrient therapy programme draws on a physician-supervised approach to intravenous micronutrient delivery, integrating each infusion formulation with the clinic's broader functional medicine philosophy. Intravenous administration achieves 100% bioavailability of all infused nutrients — unlike oral supplementation, where gastric pH, intestinal transit time, transporter saturation, and first-pass hepatic metabolism can reduce the effective dose reaching systemic circulation to a fraction of what is ingested. This advantage is particularly meaningful for nutrients that are difficult to absorb in therapeutic quantities orally, including high-dose vitamin C, magnesium, and certain B-vitamins. The Clarus wellness IV menu features four distinct formulations, each targeting a different physiological priority. The Advanced Antioxidant IV delivers a concentrated dose of glutathione — the body's primary intracellular antioxidant — alongside alpha-lipoic acid, supporting cellular defence against oxidative stress that accumulates with chronic inflammation, environmental exposure, and metabolic imbalance. The Methylated B-Vitamin Support formulation provides active, pre-methylated forms of key B-vitamins including methylcobalamin (B12), methylfolate, and P5P (active B6), supporting the methylation cycle that underpins neurotransmitter synthesis, DNA repair, and homocysteine clearance — of particular relevance for clients with MTHFR or COMT polymorphisms identified through Clarus's genomic testing programme. The Cellular Repair IV combines amino acids and micronutrients selected to support mitochondrial function and tissue recovery. The Signature Performance IV is the clinic's most comprehensive formulation, integrating all of the above with additional amino acid support for clients with high physical or cognitive demands. All IV sessions at Clarus Health in San Francisco are administered by nursing staff under physician oversight. Prior to a first infusion, clients undergo a health intake to ensure the selected formulation is appropriate and to identify any contraindications. Clarus's functional medicine model means IV therapy is typically deployed as part of a broader protocol that may include biomarker testing, hormone optimisation, and lifestyle intervention — rather than as a standalone intervention. This integrated approach is what distinguishes Clarus from standalone IV drip bars operating without physician supervision.
