Edmonton's Top IV Treatments
We'll formulate a custom IV blend for your particular needs.Edmonton IV Therapy FAQCan'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.

More about our IVsIV NADNAD+ 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.
IV Myers CocktailThe 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.
Pre-Treatment with a Myers Cocktail prior to Hyperbaric Oxygen can help "rev-up" cellular metabolism. IV GlutathioneGlutathione 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).
IV Vitamin CDose 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).

Our IV Treatments - A Deeper Dive
NAD+ IV
What is it? NAD+ is a Vitamin B3 derived cofactor that's involved in activation of sirtuins (which are involved in a process called de-acetylation) and subsequently have a role in longevity. What is it used for? NAD IV is used for fatigue and longevity in low doses and for substance abuse in high doses. It has promise in disorders where mitochondrial function is affected like Fibromyalgia, CFS and neurodegenerative diseases. How does it work? NAD+ can stimulate energy production by increasing ATP production - our bodies' main energy currency as it's a main co-factor in the Kreb's Cycle. The sirtuin activation affects inflammation, autophagy, circadian rhythms, and apoptosis. Research: A 2019 study published on NAD+ given IV after a 6 Hour Intravenous Infusion of NAD+ from Dr Grant shows for the first two hours NAD+ is likely rapidly taken up by cells |

Myers Cocktail IV What is it? The Myers is a concentrated multi-nutrient infusion that is usually made of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin C. What is it used for? The Myers IV is reputed for Fatigue, Migraine, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Colds, Narcotic Withdrawal, Athletic Performance, Hyperthyroidism and COPD. How does it work? The Myers IV gives cells biochemical substrates cells need to engage in their normal physiological functions principally in relation to energy production. Research: The Myers has numerous case reports on its efficacy in the above mentioned conditions. Dr. Alan Gaby MD who originated the IV treatment published this in 2002. Glutathione IV Therapy What is it? Glutathione is the body's major cellular antioxidant whose functions include protecting against oxidative damage, detoxification and maintenance of immune function What is it used for? Glutathione IV is used for detox, longevity, mold toxicity, MS flares, skin health, immune boosting, Lyme, ALS and Parkinson's. How does it work? Glutathione clears free radicals including superoxide and hydroxyl radicals and recycles "low‐molecular‐weight" antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C and is involved in phase II liver detoxification (sulfation/conjugation). Research: Glutathione has been studied in Skin Health, Parkinson's, Fatty Liver, Kidney Health, Immunity and Chemoprotection (platin toxicity). IV Vitamin C What is it? It's well known that Vitamin C one of the body's water soluble antioxidant (cytosol, plasma) and helps maintain immune function. It's an essential micronutrient (humans lack the ability to generate vitamin C) and it's a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions. What is it used for? IV Vitamin C is famously used for Cancer and immunity however additional research shows benefit in myocarditis, sepsis, EBV, shingles, Covid-19, and heart injury. How does it work? Aside from anti-oxidant activity, Vitamin C stimulates the production and activation of immune cells. With regards to anti-tumor effects pharmacological concentrations stimulates the formation of hydrogen peroxide which can create reactive oxygen species that directly have cytotoxic activity on cancer cells. Research: With regards to Cancer, data exists in breast, liver, kidney, bladder, lymphoma, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. Infectious data exists for herpes zoster, viral myocarditis and EBV. |

Common side effects of NAD infusions include: nausea, rapid heart rate and lightheadedness. A 2017 human study showed that intravenous NAD+ is rapidly and completely removed from the plasma (taken up by cells) for the first two hours of NAD IV administration. Glutathione IV Therapy in Edmonton - Gluta DripsCosmetics - Glutathione does appear to have cosmetic benefit with repeated IV treatment.IV Glutathione can be used for a wide range of conditions. Our Naturopaths have been administering Glutathione IV Therapy in Edmonton since 2010. Administration time for a Glutathione drip is short. Our Naturopaths often administer a Glutathione drip over 5-15 minutes with minimal IV dilution. Glutathione injections or Gluta Drips can be added to many other IVs including IV drips with Vitamins as well as NAD infusions.
For inflammation our Naturopaths often suggest frequent glutathione injections (eg. every other day). Some of the original Glutathione injection literature in Parkinson's has daily IV Glutathione administration. For skin lightening and brightening our Naturopaths usually suggest 1-2 Glutathione IV Therapy treatments weekly for 4-8 weeks - all done by our nurses in our IV Therapy suite in Edmonton. Our Naturopaths will give IV NAD+ and IV Glutathione Injections back to back for longevity. Doses of IV Glutathione injections can range anywhere from 2-4 grams for most patients. Advanced IV Therapy and Hyperbaric Chambers in EdmontonOur Edmonton functional medicine clinic specializes in evidence-based therapies designed to restore, repair, and optimize health at a cellular level. Two of our most requested treatments—IV therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)—provide advanced support for patients seeking safe, effective, and scientifically grounded approaches to wellness and recovery. Hyperbaric Chambers in Edmonton – The Science of Oxygen Under PressureThis enhanced oxygen delivery allows it to penetrate into tissues with limited circulation, supporting cellular energy production, reducing oxidative stress, and accelerating healing. In functional and integrative medicine, hyperbaric chambers are used to:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. By increasing atmospheric pressure, oxygen dissolves at higher concentrations into the bloodstream and plasma.
Frequently Asked Questions - Iron Infusions in EdmontonHow often does someone need iron infusions?The frequency of iron infusions depends on your initial ferritin and hemoglobin levels, as well as the degree of deficiency.
A single iron infusion often raises ferritin levels by 80–150 µg/L, although individual responses may vary. Follow-up blood work is typically about four weeks later, to assess iron levels.
Most patients require one or two iron infusions spaced a few weeks apart. Do I need a consultation before receiving iron infusions?Yes. Before your first iron infusion, you’ll need a consultation with our medical team to review your blood work, health history, and confirm that IV iron is the appropriate treatment for you. How long does it take to get in for an iron infusion?We can usually schedule your iron infusion within one to two weeks.
Your initial iron infusion consultation at our Edmonton clinic is complimentary. It usually takes about 15 minutes, and we are often able to book consultations within one week. How do iron infusions work?Once infused, the iron–carbohydrate complex is taken up by macrophages in the body. The iron is then gradually released and either stored in the protein ferritin or transported by transferrin to red blood cell precursors and other tissues. This direct delivery helps restore iron stores and improve hemoglobin levels more efficiently than oral supplementation.
Iron infusions deliver therapeutic doses of iron directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system where absorption can be inefficient or limited. This makes IV iron therapy an excellent option for patients who cannot tolerate oral iron or who require rapid correction of iron deficiency. How safe are iron infusions?At our Edmonton clinic, we have observed a very low incidence of adverse reactions.
The risk of severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) is extremely rare—approximately 0.004% (1 in 25,000 infusions).
Modern IV iron formulations are considered very safe when administered at appropriate doses, dilutions, and infusion rates. Mild, temporary side effects may occur in about 5% of patients, including flushing, headache, flu-like symptoms, rash, joint or muscle pain, abdominal discomfort, or digestive changes. What do iron infusions cost in Edmonton?At our Edmonton clinic, iron infusion costs typically range between $300 and $600, depending on the dose and preparation used and the infusion fee is $265.
Many extended health plans provide partial or full reimbursement for IV iron therapy. Our staff can provide documentation for insurance submission upon request. |
