From Monday hangover rescue to skin brightening glutathione to cutting-edge NAD+ longevity protocols — BGC and Makati's IV drip lounges have become a serious wellness ritual for executives, athletes, and beauty-conscious expats alike.
Know Before You Go
IV therapy in Manila spans from well-evidenced to aggressively marketed. Here is a clear-eyed breakdown breakdown what works, what's uncertain, and what to ask before booking.
IV glutathione (600–1,200mg per session) has the most consistent patient-reported evidence for skin brightening in the Philippines. Clinical trial evidence is limited but real-world results among regular users are broadly positive.
Magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and zinc administered IV. Good evidence base for fatigue, fibromyalgia, and post-illness recovery. Popular with BGC executives as a biweekly energy reset.
NAD+ precursor drips are popular for anti-aging and cognitive function. Preliminary research is genuinely interesting; clinical evidence in humans is still early-stage. Patients report strong subjective energy benefits.
IV therapy carries real risks: air embolism, phlebitis, allergic reaction, contamination. All sessions should be administered by a licensed nurse under physician supervision. Never do IV therapy at a non-medical facility.
How often should you go?
For general wellness and energy: once every 2–4 weeks. For a skin brightening glutathione loading course: 8–12 sessions over 6–8 weeks, then monthly maintenance. For hangover recovery: as needed. For NAD+ longevity protocols: typically 3–5 consecutive sessions to start, then monthly.
From hangover recovery to anti-aging NAD+ protocols, BGC's IV therapy scene has become one of the most sophisticated in Southeast Asia. Here's everything you need to know before booking your first session — or tenth.
