What's included
4 deliverables in this treatment
- IV infusion with alpha-lipoic acid and antioxidants
- Registered nurse administration
- Post-infusion monitoring
- Comfortable lounge setting
An intravenous infusion featuring alpha-lipoic acid and supporting antioxidants, formulated for individuals with inflammatory concerns. Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant that is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, allowing it to work across cell membranes and support nerve tissue integrity.
About this treatment
The Nerve Support IV centres on alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a unique antioxidant that functions in both aqueous and lipid environments — unlike most antioxidants, which are limited to one or the other. This dual solubility allows ALA to cross cell membranes and provide antioxidant protection in neural tissue, where oxidative stress can damage myelin sheaths and impair nerve signalling.
ALA also regenerates other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E and glutathione, effectively extending their functional lifespan. It chelates certain heavy metals and modulates inflammatory pathways through NF-kB signalling.
Research has examined ALA supplementation in the context of peripheral neuropathy, with some studies suggesting improvements in nerve conduction velocity and symptom scores. Intravenous delivery achieves plasma concentrations that oral supplementation cannot match, as oral ALA has relatively low and variable bioavailability (approximately 20-30%).
