IV Nutritional Therapy
Intravenous nutritional therapy (IV) replenishes essential missing nutrients directly into your blood stream.
Unlike supplements, IV therapy bypasses the digestive system for a faster absorption so that you can start feeling the effects of the treatment right away. Replenishing your stores of nutrients can restore your energy, help to fortify your immune function, and help you to become more resilient to illnesses like the common cold.
IV therapy can also help to protect your organs, including your skin, and help to improve healing post-surgery and post workout, constipation, and prevent kidney stones.
What to Expect with IV Therapy
IV infusions typically take approximately 25 minutes to 1 hour. You will be comfortably seated during the entire session and can relax, enjoy your favourite book, or listen to some soothing music or watch TV.
Depending on the therapy you choose, higher dose therapies can take slightly longer.
IV therapy is not painful —> just a slight pinch from a fine needle stick similar to a blood draw experience to insert the IV needle.
Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing. Arrive well hydrated and feel free to bring a water bottle with you to sip during the treatment. Please use the restroom before the session begins. As some infusions may affect blood sugar levels, please eat 1 to 2 hours before your session. If you are diabetic, monitor your insulin dosage and bring snacks with you to your appointment.
During your therapy, it is normal to feel relaxed and notice increased energy along with decrease in allergies later in the day.
After your therapy, you can expect more energy in the following days, feeling renewed.

Supplements vs IV/IM Therapy
While oral supplementation and eating certain foods may help, it can take up to two days for your digestive system to properly digest foods. It may also be a challenge to consume sufficient quantities of certain foods to satisfy the deficiency. While standard oral supplementation can also help, IV/IM therapy is superior because you can begin to feel the positive effects much quicker.
Certain medical issues and some medications can also block oral supplementation while IV/IM therapy is absorbed quickly and more effortlessly by your body. In fact, within several hours, you can start to feel energized and feel the effects of the IV/IM nutrients working.
