Stay Bright, Not Burnt Out: December’s Essential IV Drips
When December lands, life speeds up.
Work ramps up, diaries fill, and suddenly you’re juggling Christmas shopping, late nights, fizz-filled catch-ups, and — inevitably — the first wave of winter bugs.
It’s no surprise so many of us hit mid-December feeling run-down, dehydrated, and slightly resentful of our past selves who said “Yes” to everything.
This is where IV nutrient therapy becomes your secret weapon — topping up vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration before your body tips into full seasonal burnout.
And with Dripdash back in clinic throughout December, now is the perfect time to choose a drip that keeps you energised, resilient, and party-proof.
Why IV Therapy Works (Especially During Party Season)
Tablets and powders can only do so much when you’re tired, stressed, or not sleeping properly.
Your gut simply doesn’t absorb nutrients as efficiently when you’re run-down — which is exactly when you need them most.
IV therapy bypasses digestion and delivers a 100% bioavailable boost straight into your bloodstream.
That means:
Faster absorption
Immediate cellular hydration
Higher doses of nutrients than you could take orally
When you're clocking late nights, back-to-back events, rich food, alcohol, travel, and central heating, your body burns through vitamins at speed. IV therapy gives you a clean, powerful reset — just when you need it.
The Festive IV Line-Up: What Each Drip Does and When to Use It
Vitamin C Mega Boost – £150
Best for: staying well when everyone around you is coughing.
Vitamin C is the backbone of your immune system — supporting white blood cell activity, collagen formation, tissue repair, and antioxidant defence.
Why it’s brilliant in December:
Helps your body fend off circulating colds
Supports stressed, tired immune systems
Reduces the duration and intensity of winter bugs
Provides an antioxidant surge after late nights and festive food
A 2017 review in Nutrients showed vitamin C helps shorten colds, especially in people under physical stress (that’s basically December in one sentence).
Injecting it intravenously means higher levels, faster — perfect if you can feel a cold brewing, or you just don’t have time to get ill.
Immune Boost Drip – £175
Best for: all-round protection during a packed party schedule.
This drip is your winter armour — a complete blend of:
Vitamin C
Zinc
Selenium
B vitamins
Hydrating electrolytes
Why it works so well:
Zinc supports infection-fighting T-cells
Selenium regulates inflammation and antioxidant responses
B vitamins lift energy and mood while supporting your nervous and immune systems
Electrolytes rehydrate you on a cellular level (crucial if alcohol is involved…)
If you’ve got three Christmas meals, two nights out, and a big work deadline in the same week, this is your go-to.
Recovery Drip – £180
Best for: the morning after, post-virus fatigue, jet lag, or when you’ve simply overdone it.
Think of this as your reset button.
It blends:
Electrolytes
Amino acids
Hydrating minerals
Key nutrients to recharge your cells
Ideal for:
Post-party recovery
Dehydration
Travel fatigue
Feeling “flat” after a winter bug
Training dips in December
If you’ve already hit the “I feel cooked” stage of party season, this drip helps bring your energy and hydration back online.
Don’t Wait Until You’re Unwell
Your immune system does more than stop colds — it affects your:
Energy
Mood
Sleep
Productivity
Resilience
When it’s under pressure, everything feels harder.
IV therapy isn’t about quick fixes or unrealistic perfection.
It’s about support — giving your body what it needs to cope with a month that’s equal parts brilliant and exhausting.
And honestly? Prevention is far easier (and cheaper) than recovery.
