IM INJECTION THERAPY
Certain vital nutrients can be administered via direct injection into the muscle, known as IM (Intramuscular) injections. While the widely recognized B12 injections often come to mind, many formulations exist including B complex vitamins, nutrients that support adrenal function, and essential lipotropic factors such as methionine, inositol, and choline.

IV VITAMIN THERAPY
For those of us who lead vibrant lives and are constantly pushing our bodies and minds to their limits. Whether through long workdays, rigorous workouts, or the exhilarating whirlwind of a full yet beautiful life, these states of life can require a higher nutrient demand. Often those of us with impaired digestion, dedicated athletes seeking optimal performance, expectant mothers, high-stress and performing professionals or students, those experiencing recurring illness or weakened immune systems will often have higher nutrient demands.
​
While nourishing the body through a balanced diet remains the best way to get essential vitamins and minerals in, there may be times in our lives where we could use additional support. The reality is that our bodies require a constant influx of essential nutrients to function optimally, and sometimes oral supplementation and diet fall short of providing the necessary support. Additionally, some people may have digestive issues that prevent the optimal absorption of nutrients through the digestive tract.
​
Enter Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy—a revolutionary solution that delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream (and into the cells and tissues), circumventing the absorption process of the digestive system. This means that the body can swiftly and efficiently absorb the nutrients administered intravenously.
​
The beauty of IV therapy lies in it's personalization. Each IV treatment is meticulously tailored to meet the unique nutrient needs and health concerns of each individual. This customization is achieved through comprehensive assessments, including a thorough medical history and often advanced testing, allowing us to pinpoint which nutrients are deficient.
​
IV vitamin therapy infuses your system with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that your body may be deficient in. There are ways of testing nutrient deficiencies - at the red and white blood cell level - to support decision making of what nutrients may be beneficial in a vitamin IV and/or supplement regiment. If you are curious if IV vitamins would benefit you and your health goals, please discuss with your Naturopathic Doctor.
