IV NUTRIENT THERAPY

WHAT IS IV THERAPY?
Think high-dosed nutrients just directly absorbed by your body almost instantly. Like a B12 energy shot, but 10x more powerful.
Oral supplements and nutrient have a 50% absorption rate, whereas IV therapy provides a 90% absorption rate!

WHO IS IT GOOD FOR? 
It's quick at helping to treat: Fatigue, feeling run down, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, pain, allergies, and any acute/chronic cold & flus. It can also help with heart disease and hormonal imbalance: Adrenal Fatigue and hypothyroidism, even low metabolism or detox.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
A 45min Safety Assessment consultation with a naturopathic doctor must occur prior to commencing treatment. This consultation consists of a health history, physical examinations and recent blood work review, as well as intake of current health concerns.
Recent blood work within the last 3 months needs to be provided or a lab requisition is needed to assess your candidacy for intravenous therapies. Once recent blood work has been reviewed and candidacy has been validated, treatment may commence.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT?

1. Always drink 2 large glasses of water (24 oz.) before and after your treatment, even when fasting for blood work. Being well hydrated will make inserting the IV easier and will help your kidneys to more easily flush toxins.
2. Eat a good meal before arriving for your therapy or bring a meal with you to eat during the treatment. Include protein in the meal such as eggs, nuts, meat or a protein bar or shake. Protein will help to keep the blood sugar stable during the treatment.
3. Do not drink coffee or tea prior to your treatment. Caffeine dehydrates your veins and makes it more difficult to start your IV.
4. Do not exercise 2 hours before or after your treatment.

ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THE INTRAVENOUS TREATMENT?
Side effects can occur. All of which will be discussed in this Safety Consult. We will never do an IV if it will put your health at risk.
