Vitamin Injections and IV Nutrient Therapy

IV Nutrient Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy involves infusing a combination of vitamins and minerals in a base of normal saline or an electrolyte solution directly into the vein. This allows for more thorough and rapid absorption and utilization of the vitamins and minerals in tissues. This is because adding a mixture directly into the circulation will bypass the digestive system, where absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream can be impaired. Therefore, administrating nutrients intravenously allows for nutrients to reach therapeutic levels faster.

Our naturopathic doctors provide thorough health assessments that will help determine if this therapy is indicated for you. If indicated, these treatments are tailored to your individual health needs including ingredients used, as well as the number and frequency of IV treatments.

IV Iron

Intravenous (IV) iron is an effective way to correct an iron deficiency in those who do not tolerate oral iron supplements. It involves infusing a therapeutic dose of iron directly into the vein and therefore bypasses issues with absorption and side effects of oral iron.

Iron levels must be tested within 3 months of getting an iron infusion. If you have not had your iron levels tested recently, this is something that can be done through one of our naturopathic doctors prior to considering an infusion.

If you are interested in IV iron, please call the clinic to book a IV iron medical screen with one of our naturopathic doctors. Alternatively, you can book an initial consult which allows for more time to thoroughly address any underlying health concerns

IM Vitamin Injections

Intramuscular (IM) vitamin injections are a quick and easy way to give yourself a boost of essential vitmains that will leave you feeling energized and balanced. Vitamins that are injected in this way have a nearly 100% absorption rate which is far better than oral supplementation. In addition, vitamin injections are a great option in cases where the liver or digestive function is impaired. The most common vitamin injection is B12, an essential nutrient for the overall functionality of the body. We also offer Multivitamin Boosters, Glutathione (powerful liver antioxidant) and Botox. These injections are expertly administered by our Naturopathic Doctors.
