Infusion Therapy in Berlin

Infusion therapy refers to the administration of fluids or substances through a vein. We use micronutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, among others.

Vitamin infusions that are not prescribed by a physician must be paid for privately, as statutory health insurance does not cover these costs. Prices for a vitamin infusion vary depending on the provider and the ingredients. As a rule, the cost per infusion is between €100 and €350.

Whether vitamin infusions are considered worthwhile depends on the individual need for information and advice. Vitamin infusions are a naturopathic service in which vitamins, minerals, or amino acids are administered by infusion, without this automatically implying a medical necessity or a health benefit.

Descriptions of vitamin infusions often address topics such as nutrient supply, special life situations, increased strain, or limited nutrient absorption. Terms such as recovery, performance, immune system, anti-aging, or well-being are also mentioned, without these terms being understood as promises of healing, relief, prevention, or effect. Vitamin infusions do not replace medical diagnosis, treatment, or therapy of diseases.

In our naturopathic practitioner (Heilpraktiker) practice in Berlin, an individual consultation always takes place before an infusion. Infusion therapy is viewed holistically and regarded exclusively as a complementary naturopathic service. Whether a vitamin infusion is considered in an individual case is clarified in a personal consultation.

In connection with infusion therapy, terms such as detoxification, energy, or vitality are often used to describe certain metabolic and regulatory processes of the body thematically. These terms serve as a general classification of naturopathic concepts and do not constitute a statement about an actual elimination of harmful substances, an increase in energy, or an improvement in vitality. Infusion therapies are not understood as treatment or prevention of diseases, but as a complementary naturopathic service.

Glutathione infusions are a naturopathic infusion service in which glutathione is addressed as a substance produced by the body. In biochemical and nutritional science contexts, glutathione is described as an antioxidant and mentioned in the context of metabolic processes, without any statements about detoxification, the immune system, or the course of diseases being derived from this. The infusion serves the holistic classification of this substance within infusion therapy and does not constitute a promise of effect or healing.

Glutathione in the naturopathic context

Descriptions of glutathione often mention terms such as oxidative stress, liver, immune system, skin, or anti-aging. These terms serve solely for thematic classification and are not to be understood as statements about neutralizing free radicals, supporting liver function, strengthening the immune system, or cosmetic effects. Glutathione infusions do not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

Frequency and combination of glutathione infusions

No general recommendations can be given regarding the frequency of glutathione infusions. In our naturopathic practitioner practice in Berlin, an individual consultation always takes place before an infusion, during which combinations with other substances such as zinc or alpha-lipoic acid are discussed only thematically. No statements are made regarding dosage, prevention, recovery, or increased vitality.

Important note

Glutathione infusions are regarded exclusively as a complementary naturopathic service. They do not constitute a therapy for infections, liver diseases, chronic diseases, or skin changes and do not replace medical or therapeutic treatment.

Chelates are chemical compounds that are able to bind certain metals. This property is described in chemistry, biochemistry, and medicine and applies to both natural and synthetically produced chelating agents. The binding of a metal to a chelate is called a chelate complex.

Chelates in the body

Scientific descriptions state that chelating agents can chemically complex metals. This property is mentioned thematically in connection with metabolic processes, trace elements, or metals. No statements are made about binding, excretion, detoxification, or health effects through chelation infusions.

Chelates in the medical and naturopathic context

Chelating agents such as EDTA or DMSA are known from the medical literature and are described there in various contexts. These descriptions refer to defined medical indications and take place under medical responsibility. In naturopathic infusion therapy, chelation infusions serve exclusively for the thematic classification of these substances and do not constitute treatment of poisoning, heavy metal exposure, or diseases.

Chelates outside of medicine

Chelates are also used outside the medical field, for example in nutrition, agriculture, or food technology. There they serve, among other things, to stabilize minerals or improve their availability. These applications do not allow any conclusions about the health effects of chelation infusions.

Important note

Chelation infusions in our naturopathic practitioner practice in Berlin are classified exclusively as a naturopathic infusion service. They do not replace medical diagnosis or therapy and do not include any statements about elimination, detoxification, excretion of metals, or treatment of diseases.

The immune system is a complex biological system that is often mentioned in connection with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In infusion therapy, these terms are used purely descriptively to explain physiological relationships. No statements are made about strengthening, activating, or improving immune function through infusions. Infusion therapy does not replace medical diagnosis or immunological treatment.

Longevity describes a holistic concept centered on healthy aging, lifestyle, and long-term well-being. In the naturopathic context, the term is often used in connection with nutrition, micronutrients, and antioxidant processes. Infusion therapy is not understood here as a measure to extend life or delay aging, but as part of a thematic exploration of metabolic processes and individual phases of life.
