Edmonton IV Therapy FAQ

Can't I just take Vitamins orally?

Well, we suppose you could but IV administration has many effects that are not seen with oral Vitamin treatments.

The bottom line is that IV Therapy of Nutrients guarantees 100% absorption of the nutrients.

Vitamins and Minerals are placed directly into the blood, the dose given is precisely what you actually get.

What is IV Therapy used for?

Most commonly our Naturopaths are using IV Therapy for energy, mood, immunity and cosmetics. 

Depression, Anxiety, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, TBI, Colds and Flus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Infertility, POTS, Lyme Disease and various Cancers are other conditions we usually suggest IV Therapy for.

How does IV therapy work? 

With IV therapy, as we bypass the digestive tract vitamins and minerals can not only carry out their bio-chemical functions but also their pharmacologic roles, that is, effects that are beyond their standard physiological functions.

For instance, Vitamin C which in its lower doses facilitates immune function can be directly cytotoxic to cancer cells in high doses as large doses facilitate hydrogen peroxide production. 

In addition to the aforementioned pharmacologic effects, IV therapy is more effective for correcting rectifying cellular nutrient deficiencies.

Large serum concentrations of nutrients are provided by IV Therapy administration, which provides an opportunity for deficient cells to take nutrients against a smaller concentration gradient.

What does IV therapy cost? 

Our office has been offering Edmonton IV Therapy since 2010; as such, we do a lot of it!

So we are often able to provide IV Therapy at competitive prices for our Edmonton patients. 

General IV Therapy prices:

IV NAD $185

Myers Cocktail IV $175 

IV Glutathione $135+

IV Vitamin C $175+

Do I need to see a Doctor before trying an IV? 

Our office requires all new patients to have a visit with one of our Naturopathic doctors prior to IV Therapy.

However the initial IV Therapy consultation is complimentary.

If you end up doing an IV Therapy treatment, you'll just be charged for that IV treatment. 

How long before I feel better after an IV? 

It depends on the IV therapy treatment in question.

With our Energy or Mood augmenting IV treatments like the Myers, most patients see positive effects within 24 hours.

With IV NAD treatments some patients feel better within hours and sometimes before they leave the clinic.

IV Therapies for Cancer are usually assessed every 4-8 weeks.

How often do I need IV treatment?

It depends on the condition in question.

For instance, for fatigue our Naturopaths often administer one IV therapy treatment per week for 3-4 weeks to achieve nutrient levels in the cells and blood. Following this, IV treatments are done every 4-8 weeks to maintain the effects.

IV NAD+ can often be front loaded (3-5 consecutive treatments) or initially once weekly to provide a sustained effect.

For Cosmetic effects of Glutathione, our Naturopaths often recommend 1-2 Glutathione IV treatments weekly for 4-6 weeks to evaluate the effect.

Cancer treatments (eg. IV Vitamin C) often require two weekly treatments for 6-8 weeks to gauge effect (scan or blood).   

What ingredients are used in the IVs? 

More about our IVs

IV NAD

NAD+ activates Sirtuins, which regulate processes that include longevity, inflammation, autophagy, circadian rhythms, and apoptosis. 

A steady decline in NAD+ levels over time is a natural occurrence of aging hence interest in NAD+ for preventing the effect of aging. 

We've seen great results for fatigue when administered over about an hour in doses of 250mg to 500mg. 

Synergy exists between NAD and Hyperbaric Oxygen as both are drivers of Oxidative Phosphorylation and activate SIRT1

IV Myers Cocktail

The Myers IV therapy is our Naturopaths' "go-to" for boosting energy and we offer it in a concentrated intravenous Vitamin Drip format.

We use renditions of the Myers IV for energy, mood, pain, athletic recovery, infections, migraines, TBI, MS & more. 

The basic Myers IV has Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin C to which we add extra goodies.

Pre-Treatment with a Myers Cocktail prior to Hyperbaric Oxygen can help "rev-up" cellular metabolism. 

IV Glutathione

Glutathione is synthesized in nearly all cells in the body and clears free radicals and maintains antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C 

Intravenous Glutathione is well tolerated even when our Naturopaths dose it aggressively (doses up to 5 grams). 

For skin effects, glutathione shifts the melanogenetic pathway from darker eumelanin towards lighter pheomelanin.

IV Glutathione prior to Hyperbaric Oxygen is considered especially inconjunction with IV Phospholipids for neurological repair.

IV Vitamin C

Dose range for IV Vitamin C is large: Our Naturopaths are usually using between 5 grams and 125 grams per infusion.

IV vitamin C bypasses saturatable intestinal transport mechanisms which reach capacity as the dose of Vitamin C increases orally. 

IV Vitamin C has been studied in Cancer, myocarditis, sepsis, EBV, shingles, Covid-19, and heart injury. 

IV Vitamin C in conjunction with Hyperbaric Oxygen has shown significantly increased cytotoxicity (D’Agostino).
