IV Vitamin Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions about IV Vitamin Drips

Intravenous vitamin drips involve the infusion of the typical nutrients that are depleted in the body. By adding different vitamins and minerals in different concentrations, we are able to stimulate the body to rapidly aid cellular replenishment and give out rapid results. Furthermore, it bypasses the digestive system which is vastly needed for certain people with specific chronic diseases or poor digestion.

Is IV Vitamin Therapy Safe?

Yes! All our IV bags are prepped by your Naturopathic doctor that is highly trained in safe & sterile handling of all ingredients. All the pharmaceuticals we use are Health Canada approved and ordered directly from a compounding pharmacy in the city. 

Our Naturopathic doctor will go through a list of questions during your initial IV assessment to ensure that it is right & safe for you. They will also determine which bag is right for you or if you would benefit from any add-ons.

How long do the vitamins & nutrients last in the body?

For most people it will last around 2-3 weeks. However, some people may have a more drastic vitamin and nutrient deficiency and may feel the effects wear off after a week. Most people will require a series of treatments for longer lasting effects. After your IV assessment, your Naturopath will determine a drip frequency that is suitable for you. 

How long do the vitamins & nutrients last in the body?

This depends on what nutrients are in the bag. Most commonly with our Axis[BOOST] formula, you should feel more alert, less brain fog, better attention span, and more energy throughout your day. 

Some people feel an immediate bump in their energy and alertness, for others they notice the positive effects throughout their daily life during the following days/weeks. They notice they are more productive, have better concentration, more motivation to workout, clearer skin and getting better sleep.

Is IV Therapy covered by insurance?

The Naturopathic consultation & IV administration fee can be covered by your employee health benefits if you have covered under Naturopathic Services. The cost of the bag itself is a separate charge ($40-$100, depending the formula) that you would have to pay for separately. However some benefits plans cover supplements or have a health spendings account that you can expense it under.
