Doctor-led assessment and intravenous iron treatment at 101 Harley Street
Most people get the vitamins they need from a balanced diet. For some, a deficiency, poor absorption or higher needs mean extra support makes sense. At The Wright Practice in London, vitamin infusions are offered only after a medical assessment, not from a menu of wellness drips. We review your symptoms, blood results and lifestyle first, so any infusion has a clear reason behind it.
Vitamin infusions are intravenous drips that deliver vitamins, minerals and amino acids (the building blocks of protein) directly into your bloodstream. Because they bypass the digestive system, nutrients reach your blood without first being absorbed through the gut.
Vitamins and minerals play an essential role in energy production, immune function, brain health and muscle function. Our infusions contain only vitamins, minerals and amino acids diluted in saline or water for injection, with no medicines added.
A thin tube (cannula) is placed in a vein in your arm and the infusion runs through it slowly. This route can help in selected situations, such as when tablets are not tolerated, absorption is impaired or a deficiency needs correcting more quickly. It sits within our wider infusion therapy service.
Many people do not need an infusion, because oral supplements work well for them. We will tell you if that is the better option. The strength of evidence also varies, and for some infusions it is still developing.
Each formula is a starting point, and we can adjust it to your needs.
Benefits vary from person to person, and none of these replaces a good diet, sleep or exercise.
Vitamin infusions may suit people with a confirmed deficiency, absorption problems or increased nutritional needs, once a doctor has confirmed treatment is appropriate.

If tiredness is your main concern, we may suggest blood tests first. Iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances and sleep problems can all cause fatigue. If low iron is possible, read about our private iron infusions.
Response varies. Some people notice a difference within days, while others see gradual changes over several weeks. Where an infusion corrects a deficiency, you may feel better as your levels recover.
Some people need one infusion. Others choose occasional maintenance sessions. We base our recommendation on your symptoms, blood results and how you respond.
Vitamin infusions are generally very safe when prescribed appropriately and given in a clinical environment, but no treatment is risk free. Temporary effects can include:
Tell us straight away if you feel unwell during the infusion. Treatment takes place in a CQC-regulated clinical facility at 101 Harley Street, with medical supervision. We explain the risks before you decide to go ahead.
Our standard infusions start from £395, including the Energiser, Immune Boost, Hair Nourishment and Athletes Sport formulas. The Comprehensive infusion costs £495, and additional nutrients cost £95. Book a consultation and we will talk you through the options and costs before you decide. You can also see our full pricing.
We would rather give you honest advice than sell you a drip. Vitamin infusions are often marketed as wellness treatments, but we prescribe them thoughtfully, based on your symptoms, medical history, blood results and goals. Dr Daniel Wright reviews each case. Our aim is to find and address the factors behind your symptoms, rather than simply masking them.
Wow! Dr. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my health and well being. I’m so glad to have found him!
I have been going to Dr Wright for a number of years now. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, open minded and efficient, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
I have been a patient of Doctor Dan for some time and continue to consult with him despite having left the UK. Dan has the enthusiasm and energy of a young man, whilst taking the holistic “physician” approach of an old school family doctor, equipped with the most modern insights and technology.
Dr Jain was great. Expert knowledge with practical advice
When prescribed appropriately and given in a clinical environment, vitamin infusions are generally very safe. As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. Dr Daniel Wright explains these at your consultation.
Some infusions take as little as 30 minutes, while others take several hours. The time depends on the formula. We confirm the expected duration before your appointment.
Not always, but we often recommend them. Blood tests can identify deficiencies and show whether an infusion is likely to help. We may review existing results or arrange further tests.
The strength of evidence varies. Correcting a confirmed deficiency has a clear medical rationale, but for general wellbeing the evidence is still developing. We want you to understand this before you decide.
Fatigue is one of the most common reasons people ask about infusions. It has many possible causes, including iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders and nutritional deficiencies. We aim to find the cause before recommending treatment.
Some people need a single infusion, while others choose periodic maintenance sessions. The right pattern depends on the formula, the underlying issue and how you respond to treatment.
Certain deficiencies, particularly low iron, can affect exercise capacity and recovery. Correcting them may improve training outcomes. Infusions are not a substitute for training, nutrition and rest.
Yes. We also offer intramuscular vitamin injections, which are given into a muscle rather than a vein. Pricing depends on the preparation used and is confirmed at your consultation.
The best option depends on your symptoms, blood results, medical history and goals. A consultation lets us review these and give personalised advice, which may include no infusion at all.
