What is the Star Hydrating Drip?
The Star Hydrating Drip is an intravenous vitamin infusion formulated to provide a comprehensive blend of essential vitamins directly into the bloodstream. The infusion is designed to support hydration and overall nutritional wellness, while providing the body with key vitamins involved in energy metabolism, immune function, antioxidant protection and healthy skin, hair and nails.
It is administered as a 1 litre infusion and contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D3 and E, together with Folic Acid and D-Biotin.
Dr. Bangalee will assess your individual needs and confirm that IV therapy is appropriate for you before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the Star Hydrating Drip?
A 1 litre infusion containing Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D3 and E, together with Folic Acid and D-Biotin, alongside fluid to support hydration.
Why is IV therapy different from taking vitamin supplements?
Oral supplements need to pass through the digestive system before their nutrients can enter the bloodstream, and absorption can vary depending on the nutrient, digestive health and individual factors. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract and allowing for rapid and efficient delivery.
How long does it take?
Approximately 15–60 minutes depending on the infusion. You relax comfortably throughout and are free to drive afterwards.
How often can I have a hydration drip?
This depends on your individual health and needs. Dr. Bangalee will advise on an appropriate interval at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
You may feel a brief sting as the cannula is inserted, similar to having blood drawn. The infusion itself is not painful.
