A mental clarity IV drip, often called a brain drip or focus IV drip, is a vitamin and nutrient infusion that people choose as a top-up during demanding weeks. Our mental clarity IV drip is The Brain Booster, which costs R2,150 and takes about 45 minutes. Walk into our lounges in Sunninghill (Johannesburg), Stellenbosch or Queenstown, or book a mobile drip and a registered nurse comes to your home, office or hotel anywhere we cover in Cape Town and Johannesburg. You choose a 200ml or 1000ml saline bag at no extra cost, and extra vitamins can be added on the day.
Who chooses it. The Brain Booster is popular with professionals heading into a busy quarter, a big pitch or long-haul travel, and with people who like a nutrient top-up alongside good sleep, food and exercise. To be honest about the evidence: research on IV nutrients for focus or memory in healthy people is limited, and we make no promises about how you will feel. The drip is not a treatment for depression, ADHD, anxiety or memory problems. If you have any of these, keep seeing your own doctor and tell us first. A related doctor-led option is Semax and Selank.
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 at book.mobivive.co.za.
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 Brain Booster right for me? Every drip starts with a medical screening questionnaire, which a registered nurse reviews under the protocols of our medical director, Dr Chris van Zyl. Tell us first if you have a heart, kidney or liver condition, are pregnant, or take chronic medication, including antidepressants or ADHD medicine. Anyone with depression, ADHD or another mental health or neurological condition should keep seeing their own doctor and tell us before booking. The nurse places a small cannula in your arm and the drip runs for about 45 minutes. Allow about an hour in total.
Bag: 200ml or 1000ml saline, your choice at no extra cost

A brain drip is an IV infusion of vitamins and nutrients such as phosphatidylcholine, vitamin B12 and folic acid, given by a registered nurse through a small cannula. At mobivIVe it is called The Brain Booster. People choose it as a top-up during demanding weeks. It is not a medical treatment for any condition.
The Brain Booster contains alpha lipoic acid, phosphatidylcholine, selenium and zinc, L-taurine, folic acid, vitamin B12, glutathione and a B complex in saline. You choose a 200ml or 1000ml bag at no extra cost. We do not publish doses, because the recipe follows the protocols of our medical director, Dr Chris van Zyl.
The Brain Booster costs R2,150 and takes about 45 minutes, so allow roughly an hour with screening. A 1000ml bag with dextrose is R200 extra. For a mobile drip at home or work there is a call-out fee of R400 minimum, or R150 per person for groups, within the first 15km.
A registered nurse gives every drip after a medical screening questionnaire. Tell us first if you are pregnant, take chronic medication, or have a heart, kidney or liver condition. If you have depression, ADHD or another mental health condition, or take medicine for one, keep seeing your own doctor and tell us before you book.
