One of my human creations was sick last week and, as per the playbook, I started feeling a little pain at the back of my throat the very next day. I was getting sick- obviously.

I mentioned this to my buddy Kiki, and she asked why I hadn’t gone for a ‘Jet-Fuel’ vitamin boosting IV drip. I explained to her that I don’t have medic friends (like the ones people take with them to AfrikaBurn) and I really don’t feel like sitting around a clinic somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Next thing I know, this is where I’m sitting, just 1,2km down the road from my home in Constantia, enjoying some IV therapy in great comfort!

It took 40 minutes and I spent the time catching up with work on my phone. I had no idea you could do this in such comfort.

In that drip you see on the wall, was a cocktail of vitamins. It’s called ‘Jet Fuel’ and it’s the best thing you can do to boost your immune system.

According to Skin Renewal’s website:

IV therapy boosts the immune system and can be used to treat a broad variety of health conditions ranging from fatigue to intestinal malabsorption, thyroid problems, osteoporosis, and more. Intravenous vitamin therapy is also simple, fast, and produces minimal side effects. It is a powerful shot of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that is delivered directly into the bloodstream bypassing the digestive system and therefore increases absorption and increases the result of treatment.

We are able to tailor your treatment to meet your individual needs and can offer a wide range of vitamin combinations including the following cocktails:

• Magnesium
• Vitamin C
• B5 Dexpanthenol
• B6
• B12
• Can add: Zinc, Selenium, Echinacea, Engystol, Traumeel and Gripheel
• Treating your Flu fast!

Our IV therapy relieves flu and flu-like symptoms and contains several ingredients for this purpose. It has a potent mix of Multi-vitamins, including Vitamin C that will restore energy and help your body fight the infection.

Intravenous therapy is a fast way of bringing relief. In most treatments, and also in this modern world we are living in, speed is the essence – fast recovery and preventing more severe conditions such as Pneumonia and Bronchitis is key.

This treatment can also be effective for a hangover since it replenishes nutrients in the body fast, fights inflammation and hydrates the body.

And if you’re wondering if it works – yes, of course it works – did you not read what I just told you above? My throat was back to normal literally the next day and I’ve felt a massive boost in my general vibe. I’m back on 10km runs and bursting with energy.
