Intravenous nutrient therapies is the delivery of vitamins and/or minerals directly into the bloodstream via a vein. There are several reasons to administer nutrients directly into one's system, including (but not limited to)
severe states of nutrient depletion
maldigestion and/or malabsorption
electrolyte/ fluid replacement
specific high dose nutrients that are condition specific
Intravenous (IV) nutrition offered in our clinic is always prescribed by one of our physicians and administered in our office by either an RN or one of our physicians. It is customized to the specific needs of the patient and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours to receive.
Conditions that may be helped with IV nutrients include:
Dehydration
Muscle spasms
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Immunosuppressive Disorders
Malabsorption
Various Cancers
Weight Loss (Cachexia)
Anxiety
Depression
If you currently have a naturopath or medical doctor and you would like to just use our clinic as a IV source, we are happy to help. We have worked with other practitioners to deliver their prescribed treatment for their patients.
