NAD+ IV Therapy in Edmonton

Our Naturopaths give a wide range of doses of NAD+ IV therapy Treatments.

NAD+ injections are most often dosed150-400mg at our Edmonton office.

Most commonly we use NAD injections to improve energy in our Edmonton patients.

Because if it's strong relationship to mitochondrial function we use NAD infusions in fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Our office has basically pioneered NAD IV Therapy in Edmonton as we have been doing it since 2018 and have administered literally thousands of NAD injections

It is common to experience side effects related to the rate of administration with regards to intravenous NAD - it cause nausea, headaches, lightheadedness and chest pressure.

We tend to run NAD fairly slowly especially if it's your first time getting an NAD injection at our office.

NAD+ IV Therapy in Edmonton

The Mitochondrial MVP

Ever feel like your battery’s stuck at 20%?
That’s often a sign your NAD+ levels are low. This coenzyme (aka Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is essential for cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and DNA repair—but levels naturally decline with age, stress, illness, and toxic exposures.

That’s where NAD+ injections and IV therapy come in.

Why NAD+ IV Therapy Works

Oral NAD+? Mostly broken down in your gut.
IV NAD+? Direct to the bloodstream for rapid cellular uptake and powerful effects you can actually feel.

More mental clarity
⚡ Better energy & stamina
Anti-aging & DNA support
Reduced cravings & withdrawal symptoms
Deep detox

Our Edmonton NAD+ IV Options:

• Quick Boosts: 250–500mg NAD+ IV with B-vitamins & co-factors for weekly tune-ups

• Detox Protocols: 1000–2000mg infusions for alcohol, opioid, or stimulant withdrawal

• Cognitive Support: 750–1500mg NAD+ IV over 6–10 days for memory, focus, and burnout

• Elite Protocol: High-dose Vitamin C, NAD+, Myers Cocktail, Glutathione & amino acids — a full-system reboot

We’ve delivered thousands of NAD+ injections in Edmonton since 2018. Side effects are rare and typically only occur when the infusion is rushed (which we don’t do).

NAD+ works beautifully with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, amplifying oxidative phosphorylation for elite-level recovery and repair.

Glutathione infusions in Edmonton 

Our naturopaths have extensive experience with Glutathione IV Therapy.

We have worked with high dose Glutathione IV treatments since 2010- our naturopaths have given thousands of Glutathione injections at our Edmonton office.

Even with high doses, glutathione IVs are extremely well tolerated.

Intravenous Glutathione infusions are often combined with intravenous vitamin C and is administered administered fairly rapidly in drip or IV push format and is typically added to the end of other IV treatments.

Intravenous glutathione injections are most commonly sought after for cosmetic purposes at our clinic in Edmonton.

For skin health we often use 1-2 weekly Glutathione injections.

For neurological health, such as Parkinson's, ALS, MS - we may suggest Glutathione injections daily initially with a nutrient bag prior to the glutathione to enhance its action.

 

Most commonly we are using glutathione injections for the following: Inflammation, multiple sclerosis, Skin Brightening, skin Lightening, Detoxification and Parkinson's and Lyme disease.

Glutathione has been colloquially named "gluta" by some of our patients.

 

As discussed, Glutathione is extremely well tolerated when given intravenously in our experience it has an almost non-existent incidence of side effects.

IV Vitamin C Research & FAQ

Why give Vitamin C Intravenously?

Oral dosing of Vitamin C achieves a maximum serum concentration of less than 0.25 mM due to the limited absorptive capacity of the gastrointestinal tract.

Whereas, intravenously administered vitamin C will increase serum levels more than 100-fold: up to 30 mM (Levine 2011).

How can IV Vitamin C help in Cancer? 

When present at such high serum concentrations, vitamin C generates cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide. In normal cells, hydrogen peroxide is metabolized to water and oxygen by the enzyme catalase.

However, tumor cells lack catalase, leaving them vulnerable to the cytotoxic effects of hydrogen peroxide (Chen 2005).

Tumor cells selectively take up more vitamin C compared to normal cells through an upregulated metabolic need for glucose due to similarities between Vitamin C and Glucose (Agus 1997).

Can IV Vitamin C be used alongside chemotherapy?

In many cases yes. For instance, 2014 pilot trial looked at stage III-IV ovarian cancer patients receiving IV Vitamin C therapy alongside chemotherapy.

Women who received IV Vitamin C treatment reported fewer side effects related to chemotherapy in almost all categories of toxicity and median time to disease progression or relapse was 8.75 months longer in the Intravenous Vitamin C group - 25.5 vs 16.75 months (Ma 2014). 

Another study looked at data from 125 breast cancer patients (stages IIa to IIIb) treated with a modest 7.5g IV Vitamin C in addition to standard therapy for at least 4 weeks. 

IV Vitamin C administration resulted in a significant reduction of complaints induced by the disease and chemo-/radiotherapy (Vollbracht 2011).

Because of data like this our Naturopathic Doctors frequently suggest simultaneous intravenous Vitamin C treatment alongside many common chemotherapy regimens.

IV Therapy with Vitamin C is frequently given once weekly on chemotherapy "off-days."

IV Vitamin C and Quality of Life:

A review of all patients receiving IV Vitamin C for cancer at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital over a 7 year period looked at 86 patients who received a total of 3034 doses of IV Vitamin C (50 to 150g).

32 patients received only IV Vitamin C as part of their cancer care (1197 doses) and 54 patients received ascorbic acid in conjunction with chemotherapy (1837 doses - which included drugs such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, sorafenib, irinotecan, and gemcitabine). 

Bladder, Breast, Colon, Endometrial, CLL, Liver Cancer, Lung, Lymphoma, Mesothelioma, Ovarian, Pancreatic, and Prostate Cancer were the main cancers in this review.

All patients receiving IV Vitamin C, had a significant improvement or stability in fatigue, bowel habits, and pain symptoms (Bazzan 2018)

60 patients with newly diagnosed cancer who visited participating institutions in Japan were used for another study.

The global health status scores showed significant improvement from after 4 weeks of IV Vitamin C therapy as well as significant improvement in physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning with fatigue showing the largest improvement (Takahashi 2012).

Vitamin C and Infections:

Observations from the literature that millimolar levels of Vitamin C (pharmacologic concentrations as provided by IV Therapy) hinder viral infection and replication in vitro such as Herpes simplex viruses, cytomegalovirus, and parainfluenza, influenza and picornaviridea viruses to infect cells.

5 benefits of IV Vitamin C

 #1 - Dosage

Intravenous use of Vitamin C allows our Naturopaths to dose Vitamin C in dramatically higher amounts than what is possible with oral administration.

Most adults can tolerate a maximum of 5-6 grams in a single dose when Vitamin C is taken orally, however, with IV Therapy we can dose 20 fold higher amounts of IV Vitamin C - anywhere from 2 grams up to 125 grams!

#2 - Pharmacologic Effects

IV Vitamin C Treatments behave differently in the body than oral Vitamin C.

For instance, oral dosing of Vitamin C functions principally to enhance anti-oxidant and immune related functions of Vitamin C.

However, intravenously Vitamin C has direct anti-viral and oxidative effects hence its use in infections as well as Cancer.

#3 - Compatibility

IV Vitamin C drips are water soluble and can easily be combined with other water soluble IV Therapy ingredients.

Frequently our Naturopaths add additional B Vitamins and Minerals (such as Magnesium, Selenium, Calcium and Zinc) into our Vitamin C IV treatments.

#4 - Safety

Intravenous Vitamin C is remarkably safe and the same can be said for nutritional IV Therapy in general.

Our Naturopaths have literally given thousands of IV Therapy treatments at our Edmonton office.

IV Vitamin C drips are remarkably well tolerated even at high doses, and in sensitive populations like the elderly.

#5 - Efficacy

Vitamin C IV Therapy frequently gets the job done and done well.

Whether it comes to acute infections, chronic infections, boosting immunity or alternative cancer support Vitamin C infusions have a very broad use and can be effective in a large range of conditions.

Myers Cocktail Research & FAQ 

What's in a Myers Cocktail?

The original John Myers Cocktail was administered in a 10-ml syringe by slow IV push.

It was a combination of B1, B6, B Complex, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin C and dilute hydrochloric acid.

The Alan Gaby Myers Cocktail was administered manually in a still fairly small 20ml syringe. It was most commonly 1 ml each of B6, B5, B complex, B12, 4 ml of magnesium, 2 ml of calcium, 6 ml of Vitamin C, and 8 ml of sterile water

The TruMed Myers Cocktail is much stronger in many ways.

The IV that Dr. Muradov primarily uses is a small volume IV (base fluid of 30-100ml) that has an additional 50% of most of the B Vitamins as recommended by Dr. Gaby as well as added Riboflavin and up to 7.5x the dose of B12 all in a small volume IV bag treatment.

We approximate the hypertonicity of the Gaby Myers in our IV treatment.

What is the Myers Cocktail IV used for?

Originally the Myers was suggested for use (as per case reports from Dr. Gaby): Fatigue, Migraine, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Seasonal Allergy, Narcotic Withdrawal, Chronic Hives, Athletic Performance, Hyperthyroidism and COPD. 

At our Edmonton office we have verified the use of the Myers IV Therapy in each and every single one of the originally suggested conditions.

In particular, we frequently use the TruMed Myers in Fatigue, Anxiety and Depression and Athletic performance on an extremely regular basis.

We love using the Myers at our office to increase brain levels of nutrients for mood and brain fog.

It seems that certain patients presumably have a higher-than-normal requirement for particular nutrients like Vitamin B12.

The large blood spikes of nutrients from Intravenous administration is able to drive more nutrients into the brain.

How much does a Myers IV treatment cost?

At TruMed our Naturopaths use a stronger, drip format Myers which is usually about $175 per treatment. 

How many Myers IV treatments do I need to feel better?

Frequently, patients that respond to the Myers will respond within 24 hours of their first injection.

Occasionally, it can take 3-4 consecutive weekly treatments for a full response.

Myers Cocktail Research

Dr. Alan Gaby's monograph on the Myers is still the "bible" on the therapy - discussing numerous case reports.

A 2007 pilot trial giving a modified Myers IV for treatment resistant Fibromyalgia found pain levels steadily decreased with energy steadily increasing with each IV treatment over 8 weeks.

A 2009 study found improved tender points, pain, depression, and quality of life from the Myers over 8 weeks in Fibromyalgia patients.

Our clinic in Edmonton has verified the results of the above research in our own patient pool.

Our Myers: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 & Magnesium

B1: Thiamine is needed just prior to the Krebs Cycle.

Orally and Intravenously administered Thiamine ("parenteral Thiamine") has been successfully in MS Fatigue.

Through similar mechanisms we rely on Intravenous Thiamine at our office as an important component of IV treatments for fatigue.

One practitioner reported that intravenous administration of intravenous vitamins could “dispose of delirium tremens in a matter of hours." It appears that intravenous infusions of vitamin C, B1 and B3 are the most important Vitamins to be used.

B2:  In the body there are two active coenzyme forms of B2 (Riboflavin): FMN (flavin mononucleotide - also called riboflavin 5’-phosphate) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide)

In a 1996 study, a maximum of 27mg of Riboflavin was able to be absorbed orally in contrast to intravenous Riboflavin injections.

At our Edmonton office we can easily administer 50-100mg of FMN (Riboflavin-5'-phosphate).

Riboflavin is best known for its use in migraine prophylaxis where doses are often 400mg daily orally. Interestingly, Intravenous Thiamine may have a role in migraine treatment as well.

FADH generated in the Krebs Cycle is an electron donor in the electron transport chain for ATP generation so it's an important part of our IV treatments for fatigue as well as for athletic performance.

Not surprisingly, Riboflavin requirements increase with exercise.

B3: There are two main forms of B3 niacin or nicotinic acid and niacinamide or nicotinamide (niacinamide is the form we use in IV Therapy primarily) and all of these are precursors to NAD+.

A deeper discussion into the mechanisms of Intravenous NAD+ will be in the NAD+ section.

Our office uses Niacinamide exclusively in IV Therapy format as it is well tolerated in high doses and does not cause flushing as seen with Niacin.

Data exists for the use of intravenous and orally administered Niacin (nicotinic acid) in the acute treatment of both tension type and migraines.

Discussed below there is data for intravenous magnesium in the acute treatment of headaches which we've seen more clinically effective at our Edmonton office.

Niacin is known to affect blood lipid levels and a study looking at intravenous niacin gave a possible explanation: that is suppresses endogenous lipoprotein hydrolysis.

Niacinamide is a key ingredient in IV Therapy treatments for both anxiety and depression.

B5: Pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A (CoA) which is then added to Pyruvate to produce Acetyl-CoA which enters the Krebs cycle, so B5 is intimately involved in cellular energy production. So B5 is always added to our IV Therapy treatments for fatigue.

In fact, disordered pantothenic acid and CoA synthesis has been implicated in both Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well as Fibromyalgia, which is another reason our Naturopathic Doctors always have clinically relevant quantities of Dexpanthenol in our IV Therapy treatments for these conditions. 

Injections of Dexpanthenol (the form used exclusively intravenously) at 500 mg intramuscularly daily for 5 days decreases the time to a bowel movement in patients with chronic or occasional constipation.

Also, Pantothenic acid is needed for Adrenal hormone synthesis and is therefore helpful for energy production in that regard as well. "Pantothenic acid supplementation stimulates the ability of adrenal cells in male rats to secrete corticosterone." With this in mind, B5 added to intravenous treatments is a must in the context of IV Therapy for adrenal fatigue. 

B6: Pyridoxine exists in three forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine.

Some data exists that suggests that deficiency of Vitamin B6 is involved in neurological sequelae of SARS Cov-2. 

Intravenous Vitamin B6 has been used in seizure management. Injections of Vitamin B6 into the acupuncture point PC6 can be helpful for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

Also, injections of Vitamin B6 improves immune response in the critically ill and can improve hair loss in diffuse female alopecia. 

At our Edmonton office our Naturopaths primarily use Pyridoxine Hydrochloride in most of our IV Therapy treatments.

However, we do also have pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (P5P) if we want a more robust response especially in mood concerns in addition to other ingredients such as methyl-B12, methyl-folate and Magnesium sulfate.

B12: Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin are the biologically active forms of B12 our Naturopaths exclusively use at our Edmonton office. 

Our office frequently considers the use of Methyl-B12 in peripheral nerve injury - conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, and sciatica as well as herpetic neuralgia.

Depression is a reversible manifestations of vitamin B12 deficiency and we've seen numerous chronically depressed or anxious patients who had substantial clinical improvement in mood after receiving intramuscular injections or infusions containing predominantly B12. 

Of course, B12 infusions are well known to improve fatigue (likely through increased succinyl-CoA).

Magnesium:  Magnesium is involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions in the body. 

Similar to Vitamin C, oral consumption of magnesium results in only a small increase in blood Magnesium levels, whereas Magnesium infusions can triple the serum levels. 

In our experience, Magnesium infusions can be extremely helpful in fatigue and chronic fatigue type syndromes.  

Glutathione Research

Myers’ Cocktail IV Therapy

Background: The Myers’ Cocktail is one of the most well-known IV therapies in naturopathic medicine, originating from the work of Dr. John Myers and later refined by Dr. Alan Gaby, who administered more than 15,000 treatments. The formulation includes B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), Magnesium, Calcium, and Vitamin C — nutrients critical for cellular energy production and neuromuscular balance.

At TruMed, we developed our own optimized version of the Myers’ formula with enhanced B12 (methylcobalamin) and additional riboflavin for more robust energy and neurological support.

Clinical Application: Originally used for conditions such as asthma, migraines, fatigue, fibromyalgia, upper respiratory infections, and allergies, our clinic has found the Myers’ Cocktail especially effective for chronic fatigue and post-viral fatigue syndromes.

Case Report:

A female patient in her 50s presented in 2016 with long-standing fatigue. Laboratory workup ruled out major thyroid dysfunction and adrenal insufficiency. Intramuscular B12 injections yielded minimal benefit. However, upon starting weekly Myers’ Cocktail IV Therapy, she experienced a dramatic and sustained improvement in energy and clarity — mirroring published findings by Dr. Gaby that IV nutrient combinations can succeed where oral or intramuscular treatments fail.

Protocol Summary:
Our naturopaths generally recommend the Myers’ Cocktail weekly for 3–4 sessions, then monthly maintenance infusions. Treatments take about 15–20 minutes, are extremely well tolerated, and often produce noticeable improvements in vitality within 24 hours.

Vitamin C IV Therapy

Background: Intravenous Vitamin C allows for blood concentrations up to 100 times higher than what can be achieved through oral supplementation. These pharmacologic doses support immune defense, collagen synthesis, oxidative stress reduction, and — at very high levels — may exert selective cytotoxic effects against abnormal cells.

At TruMed, our naturopaths distinguish between low-dose Vitamin C IV Therapy (up to 15g) for immune support and high-dose therapy (20–125g) for oxidative and metabolic applications, often combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for synergistic results.

Case Report:

A male patient in his 50s with a history of follicular lymphoma began treatment at TruMed in 2015 after prior use of metabolic therapies (PolyMVA, LDN). He has received monthly 50g Vitamin C IVs for over seven years with stable imaging and maintained clinical well-being. In 2021, he incorporated Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions before his infusions, further enhancing his resilience and energy.

Protocol Summary:

Vitamin C IV Therapy is used for both acute infections and integrative cancer support. It is typically initiated 1–2 times weekly, later tapered to monthly sessions. All patients are screened for G6PD status and renal function, ensuring safety. Despite high concentrations, these IVs are remarkably well tolerated.

Glutathione IV Therapy

Background: Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant — crucial for detoxification, immune modulation, and cellular protection. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species, aids in heavy metal clearance, and supports liver, neurological, and skin health.

Clinical Uses: Our naturopathic doctors use IV Glutathione in conditions such as Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, mold toxicity, and anti-aging medicine. It’s also sought after for skin brightening due to its influence on melanin synthesis.

Case Report:

A male patient in his mid-60s with Crohn’s disease experienced chronic flares despite conventional medications and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Upon adding IV Glutathione and a variant of the Myers’ Cocktail, symptoms rapidly improved, with effects lasting 3–4 days post-infusion. Regular Glutathione IVs significantly extended remission periods and reduced inflammatory symptoms.

Protocol Summary:

For acute inflammation, IV Glutathione is administered every other day until stability is achieved. For detoxification or cosmetic goals, and skin treatments, IVs are given 1–2 times weekly for 6–8 weeks. TruMed has administered thousands of Glutathione IVs with extremely low incidence of side effects.

NAD+ IV Therapy

Background: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme in cellular respiration and energy metabolism. It supports mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and longevity pathways through Sirtuin activation. Oral NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR) provide limited systemic bioavailability, whereas intravenous delivery produces a profound and immediate increase in cellular energy output.

Case Report:

A female patient in her early 40s with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis experienced persistent fatigue unresponsive to hormonal therapy and B12 injections. Following moderate benefit from PolyMVA injections, she began NAD IV Therapy. Over three years and 34 treatments, she achieved significant improvement in energy, focus, and motivation, maintaining benefits for approximately four weeks post-infusion.

Protocol Summary:

NAD+ IV therapy is commonly given weekly for 4–6 weeks to build intracellular stores, then monthly as maintenance. A single NAD infusion can provide 2–4 weeks of improved vitality.

NAD Infusions are often paired with the Myer Cocktail for synergistic energy support.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) IV Therapy

Background: Alpha Lipoic Acid is both a potent antioxidant and mitochondrial cofactor that regenerates other antioxidants and enhances glucose metabolism. Orally, it is poorly absorbed (~30%), making IV delivery the preferred clinical method.

Case Report:

A female in her 60s with metastatic breast cancer declined conventional treatment and began a metabolic cancer protocol at TruMed using Intravenous Lipoic Acid combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Over 11 months of twice-weekly sessions, tumor markers steadily declined, and her quality of life improved notably without major side effects.

Protocol Summary:

ALA IV Therapy is central to TruMed’s metabolic cancer support program. It is frequently combined with Low-Dose (LDN) and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for synergistic effects on oxidative metabolism and cellular protection.

Plaquex (Phosphatidylcholine) IV Therapy

Background: Plaquex delivers phosphatidylcholine, the main phospholipid in cell membranes. By replenishing damaged membranes, it supports vascular, hepatic, and neurological health. Our naturopaths use Plaquex IV Therapy in cardiovascular disease, liver dysfunction, Lyme disease, neurodegenerative conditions, and toxin exposure.

Case Report:

A female patient in her 30s with chronic Lyme disease presented with severe fatigue, cognitive impairment, and joint pain. She was treated with an IV “stack” consisting of Plaquex, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Glutathione, alternating with detoxification IVs. Within weeks, she reported clearer thinking, reduced pain, and improved daily function — a typical response for chronic infections and toxic load conditions.

Protocol Summary:Plaquex is administered gradually, as cellular membrane repair requires repeated dosing. It is often given 1–2 times weekly for several months and paired with Glutathione for detoxification and neuroprotection.

Curcumin IV Therapy

Background: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties but poor oral bioavailability — making it a strong candidate for intravenous administration.

Case Report:

A male patient with metastatic prostate cancer pursued integrative treatment combining IV Curcumin, Vitamin C, and Hyperbaric Oxygen. Sensitivity testing confirmed Curcumin’s effectiveness for his cancer type. Alternating Curcumin and Vitamin C IVs over two years stabilized his condition and improved markers of immune function.

Protocol Summary:

IV Curcumin is primarily used in integrative cancer and autoimmune care. It is typically administered 1–2 times weekly. Due to vein irritation potential, the infusion must be diluted and monitored closely.

NADH IV Therapy

Background: NADH, the reduced form of NAD+, donates electrons to the mitochondrial respiratory chain, enhancing ATP production. It has shown benefit in chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson’s disease when administered intravenously.

Case Report:

A middle-aged female with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue had minimal improvement with Myers’ Cocktail, NAD+, and Vitamin C IVs. After identifying an active viral infection (HHV-6), TruMed naturopaths initiated IV NADH therapy, resulting in a marked reduction in fatigue and muscle pain after only a few sessions.

Protocol Summary:

NADH IV Therapy is usually given every other day for two weeks, followed by maintenance treatments. It is often paired with Glutathione or Vitamin infusions for mitochondrial and neurological optimization.

Conditions We Treat with IV Therapy

IV Therapy for Fatigue in Edmonton

Fatigue is one of the most common reasons patients seek IV Therapy in Edmonton. At TruMed, our Naturopathic Doctors first look for potential contributors to low energy, including iron deficiency, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal changes, chronic illness and mitochondrial stress.

Depending on the underlying cause, an individualized IV may include IV iron, NAD+, glutathione, magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C and other nutrients. IV iron can be particularly useful when iron stores are depleted or oral iron is poorly tolerated, while NAD+ and vitamin-based IV therapy are commonly considered when the goal is to support cellular energy metabolism. Every infusion is selected according to the patient's history and laboratory findings rather than using a one-size-fits-all formula.

IV Therapy for Women's Health in Edmonton

Women's health is an important area of IV Therapy at our Edmonton naturopath clinic. Menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, hormonal changes and increased nutritional demands can all affect energy and nutrient status. IV iron is particularly relevant for women with iron deficiency associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, while customized vitamin IVs may be used to provide nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C when clinically appropriate. Glutathione may also be incorporated into selected wellness and antioxidant protocols. For women experiencing fatigue, poor recovery or nutritional depletion, IV Therapy can complement a broader naturopathic assessment addressing hormones, thyroid function, nutrition and overall health.

IV Therapy for Hormones and Hormonal Health

Hormonal changes can affect energy, mood, sleep, weight, cognition and overall well-being. At TruMed, our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton evaluate hormonal concerns in the context of thyroid function, iron status, nutrition and other underlying factors rather than treating symptoms in isolation. IV vitamins, magnesium and B-vitamin formulations may be considered as supportive therapies, while IV iron can be appropriate when laboratory testing confirms iron deficiency. NAD+ and glutathione may also be incorporated into individualized wellness protocols where appropriate. IV Therapy does not replace appropriate hormone evaluation or hormone replacement therapy, but can form part of a broader naturopathic approach to women's and men's hormonal health.

IV Therapy for Digestive Concerns

Digestive problems such as IBS, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and inflammatory digestive conditions can sometimes make oral supplementation difficult to tolerate. For patients with digestive issues IV Therapy in Edmonton provides an alternative route for delivering selected nutrients without relying on gastrointestinal absorption. Depending on the patient's needs, a customized IV may include B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, glutathione or other nutrients. IV iron can also be considered when iron deficiency is present and oral iron causes significant gastrointestinal side effects or does not adequately restore iron stores. At TruMed, IV treatment is generally used alongside investigation and treatment of the underlying digestive concern rather than as a replacement for comprehensive gastrointestinal care.

IV Therapy for Weight Loss and Metabolic Health

Weight management involves considerably more than simply reducing calorie intake. Our Naturopaths can enhance weight loss through assessing thyroid function, iron status, hormones, sleep, nutrition and metabolic health can all influence energy and the ability to maintain healthy lifestyle changes. IV Therapy can provide targeted nutritional support when deficiencies are identified during a naturopathic assessment. IV vitamins, magnesium and B vitamins may be incorporated into appropriate protocols, while IV iron can be useful when documented iron deficiency contributes to fatigue or poor exercise tolerance. NAD+ is also of interest in cellular energy and metabolic research and may be considered as part of an individualized wellness program. IV Therapy is best viewed as supportive care rather than a stand-alone weight-loss treatment.

IV Therapy for Thyroid Concerns

Patients with thyroid concerns often experience fatigue, brain fog, low mood, cold intolerance, changes in weight and reduced exercise tolerance. At TruMed, our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors assess thyroid function alongside related nutritional factors, including iron status. Iron is important for thyroid hormone production, and correcting iron deficiency may be appropriate when laboratory testing demonstrates depleted iron stores. Customized IV vitamin therapy can also provide selected B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C when indicated. NAD+ and glutathione may be used in broader supportive protocols, but IV Therapy is not a substitute for appropriate thyroid hormone treatment when thyroid replacement is medically indicated. The goal is to identify and address the factors contributing to the patient's symptoms.

IV Therapy for Skin Health

Skin health is another popular reason patients seek IV Therapy in Edmonton. Nutritional status, oxidative stress, hydration and overall health can all influence the appearance and resilience of the skin. Glutathione IV therapy is particularly popular for its antioxidant properties and is used at TruMed as part of selected skin and wellness protocols. Customized vitamin IVs, including vitamin C and B vitamins, may also be considered depending on individual needs. For patients with fatigue or nutritional deficiencies affecting overall wellness, IV iron may be appropriate when laboratory testing confirms iron deficiency. Our Naturopathic Doctors assess the underlying factors contributing to skin concerns rather than relying solely on cosmetic IV treatments.

IV Therapy for Mood, Stress and Brain Fog

Low mood, anxiety, stress and brain fog can have many potential contributors, including nutritional deficiencies, iron deficiency, hormonal changes, sleep disruption and chronic illness. At TruMed, our Naturopathic Doctors offer individualized IV Therapy as one component of a broader approach to mood concerns such as anxiety and depression and cognitive health. Vitamin IV therapy, particularly formulations containing B vitamins and magnesium, may be considered for patients with appropriate indications. IV iron can be useful when iron deficiency is contributing to fatigue or cognitive symptoms, while NAD+ is used in selected protocols focused on cellular energy and cognition. Glutathione may also be incorporated when antioxidant support is appropriate. IV Therapy is supportive care and does not replace appropriate psychiatric or medical treatment when required.

IV Therapy for Autoimmune Conditions

Patients with autoimmune conditions may experience fatigue, nutritional deficiencies and reduced quality of life even when their primary disease is being appropriately managed. TruMed's Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors may use individualized IV Therapy as supportive care for selected autoimmune patients. Depending on the clinical situation, protocols may include vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione or other nutrients. IV iron may be particularly relevant when chronic inflammation, menstrual blood loss or dietary limitations have contributed to depleted iron stores. NAD+ may also be considered in selected patients as part of a cellular-energy-focused protocol. IV Therapy does not cure autoimmune disease or replace disease-modifying treatment; instead, it may help address nutritional and wellness factors alongside conventional medical care.

IV Therapy for Fertility

Preparing for pregnancy places increased nutritional demands on the body, making adequate iron, B vitamins and other nutrients particularly important. At our Edmonton naturopath clinic, fertility support begins with an individualized assessment of nutritional status, hormones, thyroid function and other factors that may influence reproductive health. IV iron may be considered when laboratory testing confirms iron deficiency, while carefully selected vitamin IVs can provide nutrients when intravenous supplementation is clinically appropriate. Glutathione and other antioxidant nutrients may also be incorporated into individualized preconception wellness protocols. Because pregnancy requires additional safety considerations, IV Therapy during pregnancy is limited to selected treatments and is always assessed on an individual basis.

IV Therapy for Brain Injury and Concussion

Concussion and brain injury can be associated with fatigue, headaches, cognitive difficulties, sleep disruption and prolonged brain fog. At TruMed, IV Therapy in Edmonton may be considered as supportive treatment for selected patients recovering from concussion or other brain injuries. Customized vitamin IVs can provide nutrients such as B vitamins and magnesium, while NAD+ may be considered in protocols focused on cellular energy and cognitive support. Glutathione provides antioxidant support and may be incorporated into selected treatment plans. IV iron can be appropriate when laboratory testing identifies iron deficiency contributing to fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance. IV Therapy is complementary care and should be integrated with appropriate neurological, rehabilitation and medical assessment.

IV Therapy for Cancer Support

TruMed provides IV Therapy in Edmonton for supportive cancer care, with treatments individualized around the patient's diagnosis, conventional treatment and overall health. IV vitamin therapy may include nutrients such as vitamin C and other vitamins or minerals when clinically appropriate, while glutathione and other antioxidant approaches may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Some patients undergoing cancer treatment also develop nutritional depletion or iron deficiency, making IV iron an important consideration when laboratory testing confirms that iron replacement is appropriate. NAD+ may be considered in selected wellness and recovery protocols. Cancer patients require particularly careful coordination between their Naturopathic Doctor and oncology team, and IV Therapy should complement—not replace—evidence-based cancer treatment.

IV Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis can involve fatigue, reduced stamina, cognitive symptoms and other challenges that may affect quality of life. At TruMed, our Naturopathic Doctors have a particular interest in supportive care for patients with MS / Multiple Sclerosis and may use IV Therapy as part of an individualized wellness program. Depending on laboratory findings and clinical needs, treatment may include vitamin IVs, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione or other nutrients. IV iron may be considered when iron deficiency is documented, particularly when fatigue is prominent. NAD+ may also be used in selected cellular-energy-focused protocols. IV Therapy is not a treatment that eliminates MS or replaces disease-modifying therapy; its role is supportive, with treatment individualized around the patient's conventional neurological care.

IV Therapy for Pediatrics

Children have different nutritional and physiological requirements from adults, so IV Therapy for pediatric patients requires a particularly careful assessment. At TruMed, IV treatment is considered selectively rather than routinely, and the decision depends on the child's age, medical history, nutritional status and specific clinical circumstances. When intravenous treatment is appropriate, carefully selected vitamins, minerals or hydration therapy may be used under appropriate professional supervision. IV iron is considered only when iron deficiency has been appropriately established and intravenous replacement is clinically justified. NAD+ and glutathione are not routine pediatric IV treatments and would require individualized clinical consideration. Our priority is always to determine whether IV Therapy is actually appropriate for the child before proceeding.

IV Therapy for Long COVID

Persistent fatigue, brain fog, reduced exercise tolerance and other symptoms following COVID-19 can be challenging and may continue well beyond the initial infection. At TruMed, our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors may use individualized IV Therapy as supportive care for selected patients with Long COVID and post-viral symptoms. IV iron can be considered when laboratory testing demonstrates depleted iron stores, while NAD+ may be used in selected protocols focused on cellular energy and fatigue. Customized vitamin IVs can provide nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C, and glutathione may be incorporated for antioxidant support. Treatment is individualized because Long COVID can involve multiple overlapping factors, and IV Therapy should complement appropriate medical assessment rather than be presented as a cure.
