What are Naturopathic IV Therapies?

Intravenous (IV) therapies provide a method of delivering nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants—directly into the bloodstream. This process bypasses the digestive system, allowing for optimized absorption and higher nutrient concentrations that may not be achievable through oral supplementation alone.

Before initiating any IV therapy, a naturopathic doctor will conduct a comprehensive health assessment, which may include a detailed health history and further diagnostic testing. This evaluation helps to determine your body’s specific needs and identify suitable IV therapy protocols.
