What is IV Nutrient Therapy?
IV Therapy stands for Intravenous Therapy which means nutrients like Vitamin C, B Vitamins and similar are infused through the vein, thereby bypassing the digestive system. IV therapy is a safe and effective way to deliver therapeutic dosages of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in a way that optimizes absorption.
Why an IV and not a pill?
Nutrients can be absorbed faster when they enter the body directly into the bloodstream. When we ingest nutrients, like we do with our food or pills, they must go through the digestive tract before being absorbed. That means we don’t feel the effects as fast.
Our IV naturopathic Practitioner can create individualized nutrient blends that are helpful for fatigue and exhaustion, nutrient repletion, digestive issues, athletic performance and recovery, immune support, detoxification support and optimizing your health care.
How long does it takes for an IV nutrient session?
The average IV nutrient therapy takes 45 minutes to 60 minutes (sometimes more)
Who can get a Nutrient IV?
If you want to learn more about IV therapy and how it might be for you, contact the clinic to book your appointment with one of Naturopathic Doctors. A full assessment, blood work evaluation is required to assess your health, understand your health goals and find an individualized formula based on your needs.
