We are your destination for IV Vitamin Infusions in Canmore!

High-potency vitamins are administered directly into your vein, bypassing your digestion to optimize absorption. 

How  does  IV  therapy  work?

IV  Vitamin  infusions  are  administered  directly  into  your  veins.  The  solution  bypasses  digestion,  delivering  high-potency  nutrition  directly  to  your  cells.  This  results  in  nearly  100%  absorption  of  nutrients,  far  higher  than eating  or   oral  supplementation  can  achieve.

What  do  IV  Vitamin  Infusions  treat?

Many  conditions  can  be  improved  with  IV  vitamin  therapy.  Burnout,  fatigue,  anxiety,  stress,  fertility  concerns,  and  athletic  performance  can  all  benefit  from  IV  Vitamin  Infusions.  Overall  well  being  and  immune  function  can  improve  with  regular  infusions.

What  happens  during  a  visit?

Your  Naturopathic  Doctor  will  review  your  current  health  concerns  and  screen  you  for  any  contraindications.  She  will  then  recommend  a  Vitamin  Infusion  formula  designed  to  treat  your  specific  health  concerns.

A  paediatric-sized  needle  is  inserted  to  deliver  your  infusion.  You  will  sit  in  a  beautiful  infusion  space  in  a  comfortable chair with  a  cozy  blanket.  Small  gluten-free,  nut-free  snacks  may  be  supplied  to  keep  blood  sugars  up,  and  beverages  provided  to  keep  you  hydrated.  

Infusion  visits  last  about  one  hour, perhaps  more  depending  on  your  IV  prescription.  

How  long  does  the  effect  last?

Each  person  may  respond  slightly  differently.  Some  patients  experience  an  immediate  boost  in  mood  and  energy.  Others  need  1-4  sessions  before  they  are  repleted  enough  to  notice  improvement  in  their  symptoms.  Your  Naturopathic  Doctor  will  discuss  your  treatment  plan and  expected  outcomes  with  you.

Is  IV  Therapy  safe?

Yes,  for  most  people  IV  Vitamin  Therapy  is  a  safe  and  effective  intervention.  However,  certain  health  concerns  may  mean  that  you  are  not  a  good  candidate  for  IV  Therapy.  Your  Naturopathic  Doctor  will  evaluate  you  to  be  sure  you  meet  the  criteria.

What  is  in  the  IV?

Vitamin  infusions  contain  a  mix  of  vitamins  and  minerals  to  address  the  symptoms  you  are  coming  in  with. Ingredients  may  include:  Vitamin  C,  B-complex,  B12,  B5,  B6,  B1,  Calcium,  Magnesium,  Zinc,  amino  acids  like  Taurine,  Glutathione,  etc.  Your  Naturopathic  Doctor  will  formulate  your  IV  based  on  your  symptoms.  We  cannot  list  ingredients  on  the  website  nor  can  we  offer  specific  IV  formulas  based  on  their  potential  effect.  Regulated  healthcare  providers  cannot  advertise  IV  ingredients  like  it’s  a  menu  for  your  to  chose  from.  Your  Naturopathic  Doctor  is  supposed  to  prescribe  treatment  for  you  based  on  your  assessed  needs,  not  simply  provide  an  IV  by  request.  We  are  not  a  “choose  your  own  adventure  drip  lounge.”      

**It  is  important  to  note  that  even  if  you  book  for  an  IV  Infusion,  your  Naturopathic  Doctor  may  not  consider  you  to  be  a  candidate  for  IV  therapy  due  to  your  current  or  previous  health  status.  We  are  not  a  drip  lounge  -  IV  infusions  are  not  guaranteed  even  if  you  book  in  for  one.   **

Investment: $155  - $210  depending on type  and  duration  of  IV.  A $38  supplies  fee (not  covered  by  insurance) will  be  added  to  your  final  tally.  The  Naturopathic  Visit  portion  is  covered  by  extended  health  insurance.
