Our detox drip, The Detox Guru, costs R1,550 and takes about 45 minutes. Book it online. Walk into our lounges in Sunninghill (Johannesburg), Stellenbosch or Queenstown, or book a mobile drip: in Cape Town a nurse comes to you from Camps Bay and Sea Point to Durbanville, Table View and Somerset West (IV drips in Cape Town), and we also cover Johannesburg. Mobile visits carry a call-out fee of R400 minimum, or R150 per person for groups. Choose a 200ml or 1000ml saline bag at no extra cost, and ask the nurse about adding extra vitamins on the day.
What is in it. The Detox Guru combines alpha lipoic acid, glutathione, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, vitamin B12, a B complex and the Myers cocktail (B vitamins, magnesium and calcium).
Who chooses it. The Detox Guru is popular after the festive season, a run of late nights, long-haul travel or a demanding stretch at work, and with people starting a fresh routine of better food, water and sleep. We do not claim it flushes toxins: that job belongs to your liver and kidneys. The Linus Pauling Institute also notes that any rise in antioxidant activity from lipoic acid is likely to be short-lived, and research on antioxidant drips in healthy people is limited. Think of it as a vitamin and antioxidant top-up, not a cleanse.
How to book, in 3 simple steps
Book online. Choose your drip, a walk-in lounge (Sunninghill, Stellenbosch or Queenstown) or a mobile drip at your home, office or hotel, and a time online.
Medical screening. You complete a short medical questionnaire before your drip, so anything that needs extra care is picked up first.
Relax while a registered nurse gives your drip. Most drips take about 45 minutes; NAD+ is given slowly over 90 to 120 minutes.
Is the detox drip right for me? Every drip starts with a medical screening questionnaire, checked by a registered nurse under the protocols of our medical director, Dr Chris van Zyl. Please tell us first if you are pregnant, take chronic medication, or have a heart, kidney or liver condition, because these change what is suitable for you. The nurse inserts a small cannula in your arm and the drip runs for about 45 minutes. Allow around an hour in total, and drink water as usual afterwards.
Bag: 200ml or 1000ml saline, your choice at no extra cost

A reset after the festive season

People who like glutathione and NAC in their routine
A detox IV drip is an infusion of antioxidants and vitamins, such as glutathione, NAC and alpha lipoic acid, given into a vein by a registered nurse. At mobivIVe it is called The Detox Guru. People choose it as a wellness top-up; it does not replace the work your liver and kidneys do every day.
The Detox Guru contains alpha lipoic acid, glutathione, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, vitamin B12, a B complex and the Myers cocktail of B vitamins, magnesium and calcium. We do not publish amounts, because the recipe follows the protocols of our medical director, Dr Chris van Zyl.
The Detox Guru costs R1,550 and takes about 45 minutes. The 200ml or 1000ml saline bag is included, and a 1000ml bag with dextrose is R200 extra. A mobile drip has a call-out fee of R400 minimum, or R150 per person for groups, for the first 15km.
Detox IV therapy at mobivIVe is only given by a registered nurse after a medical screening questionnaire. If you have a heart, kidney or liver condition, are pregnant, or take chronic medication, tell us before your drip so the nurse can confirm it suits you. Mild bruising at the cannula site can happen.
Book/book. Choose our Sunninghill, Stellenbosch or Queenstown lounge, or select “Your Home, Office, etc.” for a mobile detox IV drip in Cape Town or Johannesburg, at home, at work or at your hotel. Booking for a group? The call-out drops to R150 per person. Questions? WhatsApp us on 064 512 8018.
There is no fixed rule: it depends on your medical screening, the drip, your health and how you felt last time. Most clients book occasionally rather than on a schedule.
