Recovery

Rest · Rehydrate · Relieve

Recovery is our flagship infusion — and the one clients book most. It's a fuller blend built around vitamin C, a vitamin B-complex and glutathione in a litre of IV fluids, delivered slowly while you settle in at home. Anti-nausea medicine is on hand at the clinician's discretion.

It's designed for the days you'd otherwise write off: the morning after a big celebration, the flat few days that follow long-haul travel, or the end of a stretch that has simply asked too much of you. One quiet hour, at home, with an experienced paramedic looking after the details.

Because Recovery carries a meaningful dose of vitamin C, a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result are required before your first session — there's more on how that works below.

What's in the bag

What's in Recovery

Recovery is our fullest blend. Here's what's in it — each component described plainly, without overblown claims.

IV Fluids

A sterile sodium chloride (saline) solution — the same IV fluid used in New Zealand hospitals and ambulances every day — delivering fluid and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream.

Vitamin C

A water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant the body can't make itself. Recovery carries a higher dose of vitamin C than food provides — which is exactly why we ask for a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result before your first session.

Vitamin B Complex

A blend of water-soluble B-group vitamins, which play a well-documented role in the body's normal energy metabolism.

Glutathione

An antioxidant made naturally by the body from three amino acids, found in almost every cell. It's a popular inclusion in recovery-focused blends, and we include it for exactly that reason — described factually, with no medical claims attached.

Anti-nausea cover

If you're feeling queasy, your paramedic can administer an anti-nausea medicine at their discretion. It's a prescription medicine, given only where clinically appropriate — included in the price, used only if you need it.

Who books it

When clients book Recovery

Recovery is the infusion clients reach for when the tank is properly empty. These are the days it was built for.

The morning after

Recovery is the infusion most often booked the day after a wedding, a milestone birthday or a long-planned night out — for the days you'd otherwise spend on the couch.

Long-haul travel

Crossing time zones is dehydrating and disorienting in equal measure. Clients returning from long flights book Recovery to draw a line between travel and normal life.

After you've overdone it

A brutal week, back-to-back events, a season that caught up with you all at once. Recovery is a deliberate, restful reset — one quiet hour instead of a written-off day.

What to expect

How your appointment works

From booking to the final set of observations, here's the shape of a Recovery appointment — simple, unhurried and entirely at home.

Step 1

One-off blood tests, first session only

Before your first Recovery session we need a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result, because of the dose of vitamin C given. Ask your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (fee applies). Once your G6PD result is on file, it never needs repeating.

Step 2

Book online & clinical screening

Pick a time that suits you and complete a short health questionnaire. Every booking is individually reviewed by a clinician before it's confirmed — and may be declined on clinical grounds.

Step 3

A slow, quiet infusion at home

Recovery is deliberately unhurried: the blend is delivered slowly, usually over about an hour, while you rest in your own space. Dim the lights, queue something up, and let the appointment do its thing.

Step 4

Monitored from start to finish

You're monitored before, during and after the infusion, with a short observation period at the end — the same clinical habits your paramedic brings from ambulance practice.

For your safety, a one-off G6PD blood test and a recent kidney function result are required before your first session — due to the dose of vitamin C given. Request these from your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (fee applies).

Good to know

The practical details

Allow about 90 minutes

Recovery runs slower than our other blends by design. Plan for a 90-minute appointment including consultation, set-up and observation.

We come to you

Home, office or hotel across Cambridge, Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Raglan and the wider Waikato — tell us your location when you book and we'll confirm.

Payment

Recovery is $415, paid securely online once a clinician approves your booking. Eftpos and credit card, bank transfer, or Afterpay on enquiry.

Screening comes first

Services subject to clinical suitability and screening. Recovery is a wellness service, not a medical treatment, and isn't a substitute for seeing your GP — or calling 111 in an emergency.

Questions

Recovery FAQs

Why do I need blood tests before Recovery?

Because of the dose of vitamin C in the blend. A one-off G6PD test rules out a rare inherited enzyme deficiency that makes higher-dose vitamin C unsuitable, and a recent kidney function result confirms your kidneys — which clear vitamin C from the body — are working normally. It's a simple, sensible safety check.

How do I arrange the tests?

Three options: request them from your GP, order them privately (around $95), or ask us about a lab referral (a fee applies). Once your G6PD result is on file it never needs repeating — it's a one-off.

What is glutathione?

An antioxidant your body makes naturally from three amino acids. It's a common inclusion in recovery-style IV blends; we describe it factually and make no therapeutic claims about it.

Is the anti-nausea medicine always included?

It's available at your paramedic's discretion and given only where clinically appropriate — if you're feeling fine, it simply isn't used. There's no extra charge either way.

How long does Recovery take?

It's our slowest infusion by design — plan for around 90 minutes all up, with the infusion itself running about an hour.
