At Almasi Skincare we offer exceptional IV Vitamin Therapy in Nairobi Kenya.
What is IV Vitamin Therapy?
IV Vitamin Therapy is the giving of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to the body intravenously or through the veins. Giving the vitamins intravenously helps the body achieve vitamin concentrations that are not attainable when the vitamins are taken by mouth.
This is due to the fact that when a vitamin is taken by mouth it is broken down in the stomach and digestive tract and only around 50% gets absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by the body. If, however, the vitamins are given through the vein into the bloodstream, nearly 100% of them are immediately available to be used by the body.

Almasi Skincare IV Vitamin Therapy Menu

Blood tests to ascertain levels of nutrients like vitamin B12 and calcium may also be done.
Depending on the results of the initial evaluation, Almasi Skincare Vitamin Drip Therapy in Nairobi Kenya may contain the following:
