Infusion Therapy /
Libido Enhancement

When Libido and Vitality Decline

Less energy, less desire, the feeling of no longer running at full speed — many men over 40 experience this and attribute it to age. However, measurable micronutrient deficiencies are often behind it: substances that the body urgently needs for hormone production, blood circulation, and nerve function, but no longer receives or utilizes in sufficient amounts.

Intravenous infusion therapy delivers these active substances directly into the blood — with maximum bioavailability, without the detour through digestion. Individually composed according to your lab values and your symptom profile.

Why Intravenous?
The Decisive Advantage

Oral dietary supplements have a fundamental problem: the digestive pathway. Absorption in the intestine is limited, depends on gut health, and many active substances are broken down during first-pass metabolism in the liver before they reach their target. In a man with malabsorption, chronic stress, or intestinal inflammation, oral bioavailability is often dramatically reduced.

Intravenous infusions bypass all of this completely. The active substances enter the bloodstream directly and thus reach their target immediately and fully — cells, mitochondria, hormone glands.

Who Benefits from Infusion Therapy?

Infusion therapy is not a cure-all — but for certain men it is an extraordinarily effective support. Particularly suitable for:
  • Men with andropause and accompanying loss of vitality — as a complement to hormone therapy
  • Men with loss of libido whose testosterone is normal but micronutrients are reduced
  • Chronically exhausted men with a 'burnout'-like profile without a clear psychiatric diagnosis
  • Men with measurable deficiencies (zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, B12) who respond poorly to oral intake
  • As a complement to P-Shot or shockwave therapy — improved tissue regeneration through optimized micronutrient supply
  • Professionally highly burdened men who want to quickly and noticeably regain energy and focus

What's in the AndroKlinik Infusion

The composition of each infusion is individually tailored to your lab values and your symptom profile. The following table shows the typical active substances — not every infusion contains all of them. Because we compose the mixture individually according to your needs and your nutrient situation!

Active Substance

Main Effect

Relevance for Libido & Vitality

Vitamin C (high-dose)

Antioxidant, collagen synthesis, immune modulation

Reduces oxidative stress that inhibits testosterone production · improves vascular function

Zinc

Directly involved in testosterone synthesis · cofactor of 5α-reductase

Zinc deficiency measurably lowers testosterone · most common deficiency in active men

Magnesium

Lowers SHBG → more free testosterone available · muscle and nerve function

Chronic magnesium deficiency raises SHBG — result: less active testosterone

Glutathione

Strongest endogenous antioxidant · detoxification, cell regeneration

Protects Leydig cells (testosterone production) · improves energy at the mitochondrial level

B Vitamins (B1, B6, B12)

Energy metabolism, nervous system, hormone synthesis, blood formation

Exhaustion, poor concentration, and loss of libido are often B12-related · rapid effect IV

L-Arginine

Precursor of NO (nitric oxide) · vasodilation

Improves blood circulation of the erectile tissue · synergistic with PDE-5 inhibitors and P-Shot

L-Carnitine

Transport of fatty acids into mitochondria · energy production

Drowsiness, muscle loss, declining physical performance — often carnitine deficiency

Selenium

Thyroid hormone synthesis · antioxidant · fertility marker

Thyroid function directly influences libido and energy · selenium deficiency common in Germany

Vitamin D (high-dose)

Acts like a hormone · receptors demonstrated in Leydig cells

Clear correlation between vitamin D level and testosterone in meta-analyses

Taurine

Osmotic cell stabilization · neuroprotective · stress modulation

Reduction of cortisol effect · supports sleep and regeneration
All active substances are used in pharmaceutical purity. The composition of each infusion protocol is individually determined by the doctor based on your current lab values.

Infusion Protocols: What We Offer

Depending on the starting situation and treatment goal, we recommend different infusion protocols — from a single intervention to an accompanying series treatment:

Protocol

Content

Frequency

Target Group

Basic Vital Infusion

Vitamin C, B complex, magnesium, zinc, taurine — energy boost and stress balance

1–2× per week for 4 weeks

Exhaustion, stress burden, general loss of vitality

Libido Intensive

Zinc, vitamin D, L-arginine, L-carnitine, selenium, glutathione — targeted hormone and vascular focus

1× per week for 6 weeks

Loss of libido, declining erection quality, andropause

Regeneration Infusion

High-dose glutathione, vitamin C, B12, amino acid complex — after physical exertion or illness

Single infusion or 2–4× short series

Post-athletes, recovery phase, oxidative stress

Combination Therapy

Individually based on lab results — combination of all relevant deficiencies

Based on findings — typically 4–8 sessions

Multiple deficiencies, andropause support, P-Shot/ESWT complement

Important: Lab First, Then Infusion

  • The AndroKlinik does not perform infusions without prior laboratory diagnostics.
  • Why? Because a high-dose supply of micronutrients without knowledge of the baseline level can be counterproductive.
  • Example: Too much iron with already elevated ferritin damages organs. Too much vitamin D without monitoring can lead to hypercalcemia.
  • Our hormone and micronutrient panel provides the basis for a safe, targeted infusion therapy.

How Does Infusion Therapy Work?

The process is simple, comfortable, and without a large time commitment:

Step 1: Consultation & Lab Check (possible via telemedicine)

In the initial consultation — by video or at the clinic — you clarify your symptoms and goals together with Dr. Spanholtz. After the consultation, you receive the lab order, and the blood draw takes place at a partner lab near your home.

Step 2: Lab Evaluation & Infusion Plan

Within 48 hours, the doctor evaluates your micronutrient and hormone panel and assembles the individual infusion protocol — which active substances, in what dosage, how many sessions.

Step 3: Infusion at the K61 Private Clinic

The infusion takes place in a relaxed atmosphere at the K61 private clinic. Duration per session: 30–60 minutes depending on the protocol. Afterward, you can immediately return to your daily routine — no downtime, no restrictions.

Step 4: Progress Monitoring

After the infusion series, the lab is repeated — to measure the treatment success and determine the further course of action: maintenance infusions, switching to oral supplementation, or combination with other therapies.

Why the Combination Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts

  • ESWT first: Shockwaves improve blood circulation and activate stem cells in the tissue.
  • Then P-Shot: The injected PRP meets optimally prepared, well-perfused tissue.
  • The growth factors act more intensively — more activated receptors, better blood flow.
  • Recommended sequence: ESWT series (6–8 sessions over 6–8 weeks) → followed by P-Shot
  • For pronounced findings: a second P-Shot treatment is possible after another 3–6 months.

Infusion as Part of the Overall Plan

Infusion therapy unfolds its full benefit as part of an integrated treatment approach — not as an isolated measure. Particularly effective combinations:
  • Infusion + TRT: Optimal micronutrient supply ensures the effectiveness of testosterone therapy — zinc and vitamin D are direct cofactors
  • Infusion + P-Shot: High-dose vitamin C and L-arginine improve the tissue circulation into which the growth factors of the P-Shot are injected
  • Infusion + Shockwave: Glutathione and zinc support the tissue regeneration triggered by ESWT
  • Infusion + Lifestyle: Acts as a catalyst — sleep, training, and nutritional optimization take effect faster when the basic supply is right

Frequently Asked Questions About Infusion Therapy

How Quickly Do I Feel an Effect?

Many patients report more energy and better sleep after the first or second infusion. The improvement of libido and sexual function is more of a gradual process that builds up over 2–4 weeks — especially when a testosterone deficiency is treated at the same time. The effect of a complete series is typically more pronounced than that of a single infusion.

Is the Infusion Painful?

Placing the indwelling venous cannula is comparable to a brief prick — after that, the infusion itself is painless. Some patients feel a slight warm sensation or tingling with certain active substances (e.g. magnesium) — this is normal and harmless.

Can I Combine the Infusion with My Medications?

In most cases yes — but the doctor must assess this on a case-by-case basis. Certain combinations (e.g. high-dose vitamin C with anticoagulants or certain chemotherapeutic agents) require special caution. Please list all medications in the medical history form.

How Often Should I Receive Infusions?

This depends on your lab status and treatment goal. Typical is an initial series of 4–8 sessions (1–2× per week), followed by monthly maintenance infusions. After normalization of the lab values, it is often possible to switch to oral supplementation.

Is Infusion Therapy Also Sensible Without a Testosterone Deficiency?

Yes. Loss of libido and exhaustion have many possible causes — testosterone deficiency is one of them, but not the only one. Micronutrient deficiencies can produce similar symptoms, even with normal hormone values. That is precisely why we always begin with the complete lab work — so that the therapy addresses what is really missing.

What Does Infusion Therapy Cost?

The costs depend on the composition and the number of sessions. Infusion therapy is a self-pay service according to the GOÄ (German scale of medical fees) — statutory health insurance generally does not cover the costs. Reference prices can be found on our services page. The cost of the lab is added once in advance.
