IV Therapies help many individuals who have compromised health including gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney dysfunction that prevents them from properly absorbing and assimilating food, supplements, and medications.
IV administration safely bypasses the gastrointestinal system and liver and allows for the delivery of nutrients and therapeutic compounds directly to cells through the bloodstream.
With IV administration you can obtain blood levels of nutrients that are much higher than oral intake alone.

While diseases may present similarly, the reason they developed may be due to a myriad of different factors. Determining the cause and correcting it is the role of your naturopathic doctor.
Our doctors will take the time to understand the cause of your illness and if IV therapy is recommended our naturopathic doctors will tailor the IV towards your individual needs.
Therefore, it is our policy to speak with one of the naturopathic doctors at our clinic before receiving an IV. Below is an overview of some of the IV therapies we offer at our clinic. These therapies may be offered alone or in a mixture with one another.
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant. Many animals, including mammals, can produce vitamin C, however, humans must obtain vitamin C from their diet. Vitamin C is an essential part of numerous reactions in the body. It is required in the synthesis of collagen, carnitine, neuropeptides, and in the regulation of gene expression.
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), also known as thioctic Acid, is a natural compound which is produced in the body. The form produced in the body is inactive and only produced in small amounts. As we age the levels of ALA we produce in the body decrease. It is thought that supplemental forms (IV and Oral) of ALA provide the greatest therapeutic benefit.
Curcumin, also known as diferuloylmethane, is a yellow pigmented polyphenol which gives turmeric, a spice commonly used in India, its yellow color. Curcumin is one of the most well-researched natural agents on the planet. It is also one of the most powerful natural inflammatory agents. Due to its multiple health promoting properties curcumin may be beneficial in many conditions.
