Recovery Infusion

What this is

Recovery is the part nobody schedules. You get through the surgery, the illness, the tournament, the three-month project, and then you’re on the other side of it operating at maybe seventy percent, and the plan for fixing that is usually “sleep more.”

This is a physician-formulated combination of fluids, electrolytes, amino acids, B-complex vitamins and antioxidants, given in-clinic across roughly 60 to 90 minutes. It’s the most substantial formulation on our general menu.

What it does is straightforward: it delivers hydration and micronutrients intravenously, bypassing the gut. That matters if you’ve been eating poorly, absorbing poorly, or losing fluid. It matters much less if you’re a well-nourished adult who slept badly, and a physician here will tell you which of those you are.

We’d want to know why you’re recovering before formulating anything. Post-surgical, post-infection, post-competition and post-burnout are four different situations, and one of them may need a doctor rather than an infusion.

What the session involves

1. Assessment. A physician asks what you’re recovering from, reviews current labs and your medication list, and checks renal function before anything is formulated.

2. Formulation and a decision. Composition set for you. If the physician thinks the answer is rest, a referral, or a different service here, you’ll hear that.

3. The session. 60 to 90 minutes in-clinic, physician-supervised, with monitoring afterwards.

4. Written findings. What was reviewed, what was decided, what it cost, and whether a follow-up session is recommended.

Who we’d typically consider this for

• • Adults in the weeks after surgery, once their surgeon has cleared additional supportive care.
  • People coming out of a significant infection where appetite and intake dropped for a sustained period.
  • Athletes and serious amateurs after a heavy competition block, particularly where fluid and electrolyte loss has been substantial.
  • Adults through an extended period of high physical or occupational load who aren’t bouncing back. People with poor absorption for a documented reason, where oral supplementation hasn’t been working.

Who this isn’t for

• • You’re currently unwell with something undiagnosed. Fatigue that arrived without an obvious cause is a symptom worth investigating, and an infusion can mask it.
  • You’re recovering from something your surgeon or specialist hasn’t cleared you on, in which case their clearance comes first.
  • You’re looking for a hangover service, which we don’t run.
  • You want this weekly and indefinitely, which isn’t what it’s formulated for.
  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding without obstetric input.
  • You’re under 18.

What’s in it

Risks and what to expect

This is a larger fluid volume than most formulations on the menu, so it’s monitored more closely, particularly in anyone with a cardiac or renal history. Magnesium can cause a warm flushing sensation during infusion, which is common and rate-related rather than a problem.

Otherwise: bruising or irritation at the cannula site, occasional light-headedness, and uncommon allergic reactions. Tell us during the session if anything feels off and we’ll slow or stop.

Session detail

₱8,000 per session, 60 to 90 minutes plus monitoring. Most patients recommended this receive a short defined course rather than a single session, and the number is set at assessment. Assessment and lab work are separate.

Where the evidence stands

The clinical case for intravenous fluid and micronutrient replacement is strong where there’s a documented deficit or an absorption problem. It’s weaker in well-nourished adults who simply feel tired, and the published evidence for multi-nutrient recovery infusions in healthy people is limited and mostly small or uncontrolled.

We’d rather you knew that on the page selling it. If the assessment finds you’re a well-nourished adult who needs sleep, a physician here will say so.
