What your body actually needs, why it matters, and how Dripsy delivers it
At Dripsy, we don’t believe in guessing games with your health. Micronutrients are the quiet power players behind energy, immunity, metabolism, mood, skin, and recovery. When you’re depleted, your body lets you know. Fatigue, brain fog, weak immunity, poor sleep, stubborn weight, dull skin, chronic stress.
This guide breaks down every ingredient we use at Dripsy, what it does, who typically needs it, and why IV or IM delivery can make a difference.
No fluff. No trends. Just the receipts.
Vitamins
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
What it does:
Supports energy production, red blood cell formation, nerve health, and brain function.
You might need it if:
You’re exhausted, foggy, vegetarian/vegan, stressed, or struggling with focus.
Why IV/IM/SQ:
Absorption issues are common with oral B12. Injections and IV delivery bypass the gut entirely.
B-Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12)
What it does:
Helps convert food into energy, supports the nervous system, metabolism, stress response, and skin health.
You might need it if:
You’re burnt out, overworked, anxious, dieting, or living on caffeine.
Fun fact:
This is what gives some drips that iconic yellow glow. Energy, but make it science.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
What it does:
Supports immune defense, collagen production, antioxidant protection, and iron absorption.
You might need it if:
You get sick often, feel run down, want brighter skin, or need recovery support.
Why IV/IM:
High-dose vitamin C isn’t possible orally without GI upset. IV & IM allows therapeutic levels.
Vitamin D3
What it does:
Supports immune health, hormone balance, bone strength, and mood regulation.
You might need it if:
You’re tired, moody, get sick often, or avoid the sun (aka most adults).
Reality check:
Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common, even in sunny climates.
Minerals & Electrolytes
Magnesium
What it does:
Supports muscle relaxation, sleep, stress response, heart rhythm, and nerve function.
You might need it if:
You have muscle cramps, poor sleep, anxiety, headaches, or constipation.
Fan favorite:
This is a go-to for calm, recovery, and sleep-focused drips.
Zinc
What it does:
Supports immune defense, wound healing, hormone balance, and skin health.
You might need it if:
You get sick often, have acne, slow healing, or frequent infections.
