Dragon Brands IV Drip Service ‘Everything Wrong With the World’ | Dragons’ Den 

220 PER PERSON at that

It was probably after a big night out/party to help her and her friends recover

I think that would be the last time i spoke to my friends. You have to be insane to do thid

I work in a medical practice so I can not support these types of events. You are required to have a doctor consultation prior to any intravenous treatment. This is madness beyond my understanding.

I saw this comment right when Debra came in with "this to me is everything wrong with the world.." 😳😳😅

I doubt they could even sell it without providing benefits. The normal citizen won’t just “go crazy” with it.

Yeah, it’s shocking. They don’t even believe in the value of their product yet will try to let customers believe it’s efficacious. Cynical people indeed.

Not only that, but even if they WERE genuine about the contents, the human body is not meant to take in nutrients via a one-off shock load, either. You could easily poison yourself on nutrient overdose.

If it's good enough for Joe Rogan now

Weight loss products are the worst about this because they actively advertise bothe weight loss and "health benefits" while not saying so but also by saying so.

Don’t you see all these rich ppl like Jeffrey Starr and all doing this now? It is a big trend

@@EndlessMagic7 if Jeffree Starr is doing it that's all the proof you need it's a bad idea lmao

Speaking as a chronic illness patient who HAD to have daily IVs from home for two years and who got sepsis as a result, this is /horrifying/. Getting sepsis from an IV isn’t so common, but the consequences were life changing and severe. Diane Graydon is right - this is medical and should not happen without medical regulation.

I'm full time paramedic and I do IV vitamin infusions as a separate business. I'm fully insured to do so and buy all my products from a licensed pharmacy. If there ever was a complication with the venous access or the client, who better to be there than a practising paramedic

It actually exists. Not this company but another one has iv drips like this in Westfield in London. Creeps me out though

well because he won't get sued...

@@nuck- it was a compliment and not an insult.

@@horusreloaded6387 yes, that's the way I read it too

@mason oops

Or he is just smart enough to use the correct wording. I am sure in his mind, the thought of a lawsuit was the first thing to throw up the red flag.

I wish they never came to the den, even their potential clients have changed their mind!

The Russian organ thief from Futurama is more investable than these people, at least he would have something worthwhile to sell.

Something from The Hunger Games.

It reminds me of that mission in Dishonoured 3 where you can enter a room to find people hooked up to IV machines that are pumping drugs and other people’s blood into them, and you can choose to make them overdose on it.

Yep. This is some Blade Runner type ish!

80? Lol u must be new here

No, no. Deborah is nice, but Duncan is THE dragon.

@@fishwatch8677 Yep, love Duncan, absolute legend

@@fishwatch8677 I like Duncan, but I'm a software engineer. I've very rarely seen somebody more technically challenged lol

Debra is in her divine Shiva energy naturally

I was too ! Like why did they even do the demo, it was like ten seconds then they pulled it out, how would that show anyone its a good product or what it does and not make people uncomfortable to watch >.< smh

Producer knew it would go down like a lead balloon just good for TV.

You're absolutely correct

I agree with you on this one. I had collagen via IV and literally almost killed myself. Today I take collagen orally. I would not advise anyone to do any thing via IV useless necessary

Taking collagen orally has its risks too and many times not beneficial. There are many ways to boost collagen production naturally but it takes work. But most people are too lazy hence they resort to pills and injections

...as the Vitaman & Vitawoman leave with their tails between their legs.

Hahaa. Get it? In Vein? IV? I'm sorry I'll just leave the puns to Mr Narrator

You can almost hear him smile behind the mic

@@jjthe13th IV stands for intravenous lol

Thats like a nightmare scenario!

🤣

Then you find out it's a suppliment for carrot juice and not even going to get you high lol

@@jessicataylor7174 exactly! 😂

Bend over boys 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like a gateway to injecting harmful drugs

You don't get real drip fr fr. No cap swaggin

The same people that do botox parties. I'm not saying it's safe, just that it happends.

True but some of us have digestive issues and cannot tolerate tablet form. This method bypasses the digestive system

@@aysenkoyuturk442 Can’t you just eat food though?

@@fenhen I am quite restricted due to digestive issues and heavy periods just keep dropping my iron levels. No matter how much iron rich food I eat, it keeps dropping back down

@@aysenkoyuturk442 Fair enough. Sounds pretty sucky for you. :/

Yeah there are even companies that custom make vitamin supplements specifically tailored to your needs and deliver it straight to your home. I can't imagine anyone choosing this drip thing unless they have some sort of weird masochistic fetish with getting poked full of holes.

You're right, but there's always a market for people who make poor decisions with their bodies. McDonalds is still thriving and cigaretts are still being sold. lol

1000% quick fixes are never the answer

absolutely! it should be promoted to slow down the pace, to be mindful of nutrition, to appreciate food, and take time for fueling your body... their idea is extremely dystopian and might as well be straight from a black mirror episode.

@@jessewilson-music Don't forget YOUR alcohol, funny you didn't mention it.

You nearly have a fantastic name 😅

“It’s 2067 and humans only feed themselves through Essex drips “

My thoughts exactly

Better idea would be to invent a safe and permanent plug hooked to a vein to easily insert and lock nutrient filled cartridges to inject on the go. Satisfy hunger with cheap and easy to produce food like rice, tofu, cereals or trail mixes.

Hope your cancer treatment goes extremely well. And same I too have had nurses refuse to insert my cannula because I am very shaky so I completely agree

@@desire1011 thanks. It adds a whole new level to scanxiety. Hope you do well too.

My dad has fibromyalgia, the pain clinic recommended that he try a vitamin b12 and magnesium IV treatment every week. That being said, it's being done in a clinic and not at home. Looks like a banana bag too 😂

My prayers are with you, I hope your treatment goes well!

@@gwiezdnyhubert1 thank you.

Big Dunc, I miss his ruthless honesty in the den

@@meijycakes cost comes into it also, a packet of vitamins compared to one drip bag they’re offering is crazy

@@thomasmason8481 point is it’s a premium product that does a better job

@@Ben-mv9jt pack of vitamins hardly costs anything, they’re asking hundreds

@@thomasmason8481 Yeah so only applies to ultra rich right? Just like dining at a fine restaurant - in reality it’s a bit pointless but people will pay ridiculous amounts for the best. If I have more money than I know what to do with, why would I take the worse option even if it’s more value for money?

She follows the straight and narrow

Yep, bang-on, good for her.

The nail in the coffin was the £££'s

Yes the product is messed up & extreme but there's allot of weird people out there who'd try medical stuff like this.

She ate & left no crumbs

She also has like the most soothing voice ever

@@hiimjustin8826 agreed !

Lipstick is definitely relevant.

Well, Botox parties are a thing. So I can imagine it would attract to SOME people. I would hope that wouldn't become a norm though. It's such an unhealthy practice compared to encouraging better nutrition and exercise.

that is the future

She sounds like a crook

She’s a vampire.

You sound like one of the gullible folk who would fall for scams just because it,'s presented in a lovely way it 🤣

@@ghostdemon7936 they literally said it’s a risky business but her voice is nice

I think she sounds so creepy and robotic to be honest

It's huge in the USA. Did you know?

Is there any benefit to this vs regular supplements taken orally on a regular basis?

@@seanredfieldisntme636 I would say so, if your gut is in a bad way. It would be dependent.

@@xraaeee in the USA guns are also permitted along with artificial flavours and colourings and marijuana. Your country is not a model for the rest of us. Sorry.

I'm studying to be a dietitian!

I've noticed she also used word "HIS vitamin queen" making it sound like she has a crush 😂

@@JM-oi9pk Treading into some incel territory there bud o-o

Vitamin Queen? She doesn't even qualify as a vitamin duchess.

@@gregorymyers3886 Duchess lol? She is a vitamin scammer.

Jenny: Hey! That's my line

This is actually showing up a bit more in the US and some other countries tho

Thanks for that mental image, I hate it. Take my like, upvote, or whathave you.

That branding would be more suited to a home activity not related to dentistry

_@@Uticus_ _10 hours ago_ _That branding would be more suited to a home activity not related to dentistry_ Like a visit from The Krays, with little Mad Frankie Fraser in tow

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

she's a tough cookie but says what she thinks! Makes no bones about it! Love Deborah's honesty 👏

I don’t understand the revulsion to a product designed to improve health?

@@Ben-mv9jt I think there's a bigger issue here, if corporations didn't take so much of all our time with crazy high working weeks then we'd all have more time to look after our own health naturally instead of injecting chemicals. I know since the pandemic and being able to work from home has improved my well-being no end, and that's just with claiming a couple of hours per day back by not commuting.

@Great Dane so are many people. It's decimating our oceans

at least we know there's a market for it then.

That's absolutely insane.

@Great Dane yeah, it's called a hangover. people have tried treating it since ancient rome.

@Great Dane because it's fuvkin brilliant, you should try it sometime

@Great Dane But you will like your own comment though, won't you Great Dane. You pratt

@Great Dane hydration, vitamin c, electrolytes and maybe some liver cleanser ups straight into the bloodstream.... and if you can inhale extra oxygen at the same time so much the better.

I like a big slab of cow steak with creamy mushroom sauce right now 😜

How does veganism factor into this? What is it with vegans constantly pointing out that they're vegan?

@@krissuyx The enterpreneurs mentioned that a lot of their clients are vegetarians and vegans, that's probably why Cathy mentioned it.

@@tommy_svk Oh, I must've missed that. My bad.

Really hope the inject pun was intended lol

Their visit to the den was in vain

@@aquapony vein*

I'm not needle-shy. I've no problem with a nurse drawing blood from my arm. I've never had an IV, but I don't see why I'd have a problem with one. But I'd never accept an invasive medical procedure without medical benefit, which is exactly what they claim this is.

If you show up to a hospital in actual need of a drip and vitamins they can put you on the appropriate IV, no need for this service at all. Hospitals have had this covered for decades now. Electrolytes and vitamins aren't new.

It IS actually big in America. You just don't see it.

Actually it is. Maybe not "big" but here in AZ we have two companies that do it and I've used them.

There's plenty of places that do this here tbh. I'm comparison to the market everywhere else in the world ig, the U.S is huge basically because it's one of the few countries that actually have these kinda services

I known a lot of people in the Bay Area (California, US) that do it, it’s bigger than people realize

I'm glad I don't know who that is.

@@johnsmithe4656 Ricky Gervais' character in The Office UK

Oooh fitness folk 😂😂😂

@@jphenry3404 Ah.... okay. I like Ricky, never watched the UK version of the Office though, I imagine it's better than the American version though, most British things are, no need to try to convince me.

I can see this being a big thing in Hollywood

No it's not.

This just show healthcare for money vs healthcare to help people. I own a med spa in the US and IV infusion companies are constantly trying to get us to do them.

😂😂

Yeah, you can tell none of the dragons rated it from the outset - not one of them grilled them about numbers or asked any of these questions - wasn't worth bothering with.

Why would they need a clinical trial? IVs have been in use for about 80 or so years now. B12 shots have also been in use for decades. You can hydrate by just drinking more water, but it would take a week to do what the IV will do in 30 minutes.

You've forgotten the time it takes to get the tablet out of the bottle with the annoying child-proof cap. That adds at least an extra four seconds.

@@beeble2003 Takes me about 2.5s += 0.5s.

"Surely a medical questionnaire implies it is a medical procedure?" No, not at all. There are all kinds of things that people with certain medical conditions shouldn't do. That doesn't make those things medical procedures. For example, you can imagine a world where you can't buy a drink at a bar without confirming that you're not pregnant, not taking antibiotics, and so on. That's a medical questionnaire, but drinking alcohol obviously isn't a medical procedure.

Lol😂

😂😂😂😂

but that's exactly why you'll need the IV on monday morning!

Finally, someone with brains! For now.....

Well guinness does have plenty iron 😄

Vegetarians who don't get the right vitamins from meat.

Who fancies coming to an IV party this Friday?

@@SWUploads971 sounds like a sausage fest, I'll pass.

well, as a former(ish) heroin addict, i can say, heroin addicts

@@TheManInBlueFlames it's b12 we're talking about here. there's already a wide range of fortified foods like bread and soymilk that have it. nobody needs meat or needles for it.

They had nothing to back up their claims. Just marketing. That alone is a giant red flag. He was out because they didn't know what they were talking about.

They were literally quoting the department for health or an organization that monitors these things. They weren't making things up and using what they knew. If Tej is going to contest them he may as well contest the official bodies for these things.

@@TheManInBlueFlames Yeah, Tej was just salty about his industry looking bad on TV so he tried to fight their claim and then later rejected them for "lack of knowledge" to not lose face.

It seems like a form of madness to me. The government would regulate the industry out of existence the moment one customer ended up in hospital with rigors from an unsterile batch.

It's definitely outrageous!

When I was doing emergency medical training in the Army we had to stick each other with saline drips. I got lucky and my partner got it right first time, so smooth. My fear was unwarranted. I had to stick him a good 5 times in each arm though. Good thing he had a stronger stomach than me!

There's no health risk in injecting fluids without removing blood. The body will absorb the extra liquid and any excess will be peed out. The health risks are in the catheter as it has the potential to introduce bacteria straight into your blood stream.

@@ellenkarlsson9490Good to know. There's still so much liability with this product, no investor would want to be part of it.

The liquid could be anything. It sounded to me that they have a supplier.. and they fill up these bags? Possibility for cross contamination (they won't have a truly sterile environment for the stage they are at with the business) They are also very colourful... which seems to me - a guess - to be food colouring rather than a natural colour of the product... is this safe? Is it a banned E number? If you are running a business, chances are you are importing these materials (other than the vitamins itself) from China to make the best margins. The minutest germ, bacteria, fungi, virus etc. in those empty bags can grow into a major problem. But how confident can anyone be that the catheter are also sterile and are made from a suitable material? Anyone can order these things off Alibaba etc. but doesn't mean they are suitable for the job.

@@ellenkarlsson9490 No risks? You have a dirty arm? Infection. Iv not clean enough? Infection. Accidently injecting air? Cardiac arrest Not to mention the trauma factor they can bring certain patients. Professional nurses has to poke me 5 times before finding the vein, i can only imagine this private company attempting to

Well obviously hospitals have been doing IV vitamin and electrolyte replacement for ever.

@@xxx-gu7gp well yes and no. many just use water and salts.

They are shops that do this.

@@addicted2caffeine Salts ARE the electrolytes.

essex cocktail in a hospital??

I’m a hospital nurse, and I agree. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Vitamins supplements make sense when you have a medically confirmed deficiency. If you don't then they a waste of money. The vitamin industry has spend billions convincing the public that they work, when study after study has shown no measurable benefit.

Has anybody seen my Heroin? If you find a Heroin anywhere, It's mine. I tried the lost and found but when I got there, the person in charge was slumped over the desk passed out Weird.

@Great Dane But most people really don't need it. There is no point. This is what doctors are saying.

@Great Dane Do show me a source that proves most people have vitamin deficiency

@Great Dane Which? And which vitamins? Mine doesn't.

That's what I do, and practice moderation in everything.

You clearly heard them wrong, since July they'd had a turnover of £10, 774 but their total number sold was 100

The only thing he knows more about is expatriating the profits of his daddy’s company, is vitabiotics still ultimately a BVI company?

Yeah he got a bee in his bonnet about that one didn't he, almost got his bullshit exposed. Other than vit D the rest is literally all close to quackery.

Dragons den is the original show 😁

Omg I thought you meant you have a German version of the IV vitamin treatment.. hehehe

The "in vein" pun at the end was on point, though lol

You got the job fozzy bear
