Intravita

Product Summary

In 2014, Dr. Morkel Jacques Otto, and his son Vernon Otto (Medicines Wholesaler and Responsible Person RP) founded IntraVita International Ltd. The company manufactures their own IV nutritional therapy products according to EU GMP standards so that they can ensure that they provide the highest quality and safe vitamin and mineral supplements without preservatives. 

 

 

How does it work?

Intravenous or IV Nutritional Therapy using IntraVita products delivers a specific cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into your bloodstream - intravenously through insertion of a cannula into a vein in your arm.

The IntraVita product range also offers single booster intramuscular (IM) injections of certain key vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

 

What do they claim to treat?

IntraVita vitamin drips are aimed at supplementing the body with nutrients that help towards maintaining optimum health and wellbeing.

They are targeted to boost energy levels, aid anti-ageing, maintain athletic performance and improve general health.

 

Licenced status

The UK MHRA currently classifies IntraVita products as supplements providing that no medical claims are made about their uses. However, IntraVita is expecting this to change in the future, as the CQC has recently notified IntraVita that IV vitamin drip treatments from 2022 fall under the scope of treating disease, disorder and injury.

 

Should be used by

With over a decade worth of experience in the field and practice of IVNT Dr Otto teaches and trains medical practitioners (Doctors, Dentists, Nurse Independent Prescribers, Prescribing Pharmacists and Prescribing Paramedics) on how to implement and safely administer IVNT treatments within their practice.
