IV Therapy and Infusions in Campbellfield
Nurse-administered infusions in Campbellfield, covering hydration and nutrient blends, NAD+ and clinically prescribed iron infusions. Each type follows its own assessment pathway, and suitability is confirmed individually.
IV Therapy is temporarily unavailable while we bring on an additional nurse for this service. The information below describes the service as it will be delivered when it resumes.

Some people have been feeling persistently fatigued and want to know whether low iron is part of the picture. Some are interested in NAD+. Others have used oral supplements and would like to talk through a different option. These are three different requests, and at My BioHealth they follow three different pathways.
IV therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Before any treatment proceeds, an appropriate clinical assessment and suitability screening are completed. This may include review of health history, current medications, allergies, relevant pathology and individual risk factors. Where prescribing or additional clinical oversight is required, treatment will only proceed once those requirements have been met. A consultation or enquiry does not guarantee that an infusion will be recommended or provided.
How IV administration works
IV administration delivers fluid and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. It is also invasive and carries risks that oral supplements do not. IV administration is not automatically better than oral intake, and whether it is appropriate depends on the individual, the formulation and the clinical reason for it.
Hydration and nutrient infusions
Vitamin, mineral and hydration blends make up most of what we deliver. Before a first infusion, these require individual assessment, screening, prescribing, consideration of your current medications and allergies, and informed consent. A nurse reviews your health history and confirms suitability before anything is administered.
These infusions are offered as a wellness service. They are not a treatment for a diagnosed medical condition, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
NAD+ infusions
NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism, and it has become a widely discussed wellness infusion. The available evidence and individual suitability both vary, and the research base in healthy adults remains limited compared with the level of public interest.
We do not claim that NAD+ reverses ageing, cures fatigue, or guarantees improved energy or performance. What we can do is talk through what is currently understood, screen you properly, and administer it safely if it is suitable for you. NAD+ is infused more slowly than our other options, so allow around 2 to 3 hours.
Iron infusions
Iron infusions are not general wellness drips. They require appropriate medical assessment, relevant pathology, confirmation of clinical need, prescribing and suitable monitoring.
Iron deficiency is diagnosed through blood tests, not through symptoms alone, and fatigue has many possible causes. If you suspect you are low in iron, the first step is pathology through your GP. We cannot confirm iron deficiency, and we do not administer iron infusions on the basis of how someone is feeling.
Where clinical need has been established and appropriate prescribing is in place, we can discuss delivering the infusion here, with monitoring during and after the session.
Iron infusion suitability requires:
- relevant pathology confirming iron deficiency
- appropriate clinical assessment and prescribing arrangements
- confirmation that treatment is clinically suitable before administration
Possible risks
All IV administration carries risk. Possible effects include bruising, infection, vein irritation, allergic reaction, formulation-related adverse effects, fluid-related complications and, rarely, serious reactions. These are discussed with you before your first infusion as part of informed consent. If you have a cardiac, kidney or fluid-balance condition, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, tell us before booking.
What a session is like
Most infusions take around 30 to 45 minutes; NAD+ runs longer. Every infusion is nurse administered from start to finish, with your comfort and safety checked throughout.
Who this may suit
- You would like to discuss a hydration or nutrient infusion and are comfortable with a screening consultation first
- You are interested in NAD+ and want a realistic conversation about what is and is not established
- You have confirmed iron deficiency through pathology and a prescriber involved in your care
- You would like a nurse to review your health history before deciding whether an infusion is appropriate
Common questions
Around 30 to 45 minutes, during which you can sit back and relax.
Yes, a nurse reviews your health history before your first infusion to confirm suitability, this is a standard part of our nurse-led approach.
IV administration bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, so absorption does not depend on digestion. It is also invasive and carries risks that an oral supplement does not, including bruising, infection, vein irritation and allergic reaction. IV is not automatically better than oral intake, and which is appropriate depends on the individual and the reason for it.
NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism. It is a popular wellness infusion, but evidence and individual suitability vary, and it does not reverse ageing or guarantee improved energy or performance. Your nurse can talk through what is currently understood and whether it is suitable for you.
No, NAD+ is administered more slowly than our other infusions, sessions typically run around 2 to 3 hours. Your nurse will confirm the expected time for your specific infusion when you book.
Every infusion is nurse administered from start to finish, with your comfort and safety checked throughout, and a health history review before your first infusion. All IV administration carries risk, including bruising, infection, vein irritation, allergic reaction and, rarely, serious reactions. These are discussed with you as part of informed consent.
Yes, a small cannula stays in place for the duration so the infusion can run steadily while you relax.
Your nurse will talk through the available blends and what may be appropriate for you, following screening and consideration of your medications and allergies. Iron infusions follow a separate pathway requiring pathology and prescribing.
Only pathology can confirm it, arranged through your GP. Fatigue has many possible causes and is not enough on its own. Iron infusions require medical assessment, relevant pathology, confirmation of clinical need and prescribing, so that step comes first.
Yes, most clients sit back and relax throughout, whether that's reading, resting or catching up on messages.
Most clients return to normal activity straight after. Your nurse will let you know if anything specific applies to your particular infusion.
This depends on the infusion type and your individual goals. Your nurse can help you find the right frequency at your consultation.
Yes, we're a short drive from all three, plus Coolaroo and Roxburgh Park. Given a NAD+ session runs 2 to 3 hours, many local clients appreciate not having to travel far for it.
Preparing for your session
- Eat a proper meal before your appointment. Do not come fasted.
- Hydrate well in the 24 hours beforehand, as it makes the cannula easier to place.
- Wear a short sleeve top, or something with sleeves that roll up easily.
- Avoid alcohol the day before.
- Bring a list of your medications, supplements and any allergies.
Good to know
- Infusions run 30 to 45 minutes and are administered by a registered nurse.
- A brief health screen is completed before your first infusion.
- You may feel a cool sensation, or taste some of the vitamins, during the infusion. This is normal.
