What is the Star Fitness Drip?

The Star Fitness Drip is an intravenous vitamin infusion formulated to support individuals with active lifestyles and increased nutritional demands. It contains the same comprehensive blend of essential vitamins as the Star Hydrating Drip, with additional Vitamin C and B vitamins.

The formula is designed to support energy metabolism, antioxidant protection, immune function and overall nutritional wellness, making it a supportive option for those who exercise regularly or lead physically demanding lifestyles. The additional Vitamin C and B vitamins provide further nutritional support for the body's normal energy and metabolic processes.

Dr. Bangalee will assess your individual needs and confirm that IV therapy is appropriate for you before treatment.

How it Works

1

Medical Assessment

Dr. Bangalee assesses your health, medications, medical history and training goals to confirm that IV therapy is suitable for you.
2

Cannula Insertion

A small intravenous cannula is gently inserted into a vein in your arm. You may feel a brief sting, similar to having blood drawn.
3

IV Infusion

The 1 litre vitamin infusion is administered intravenously over approximately 15–60 minutes while you relax comfortably.
4

Monitoring

You are monitored by Dr. Bangalee throughout the infusion to ensure your comfort and wellbeing.
5

Post-Infusion

The cannula is removed and you can return to your usual activities, provided you are feeling well.

Expected Results & Timeline

During the infusion: Most patients relax comfortably and can read or work.

Immediately after: You are free to drive, train and resume normal activities.

Individual response varies. How you feel after a drip depends on your general health, training load, hydration status and nutritional needs.

_Vitamin drips support general wellness and are not a treatment for any medical condition, nor a substitute for training, nutrition or rest. A consultation with Dr. Bangalee determines whether IV therapy is appropriate for you._

Downtime & Aftercare:

Most patients return to normal activities immediately after their drip. Mild tenderness or bruising at the cannula site can occur and usually settles within a few days.
