IV Therapy in Calgary

Feeling fatigued or run down? You’re not alone. In fact, studies show that up to 75% of adults don’t meet their daily hydration and nutrient needs, leading to low energy, weakened immunity, and poor overall health. IV therapy is a powerful, fast-acting way to replenish essential nutrients and restore balance in your body. Whether you’re looking for a health boost, recovery support, or targeted treatments like NAD IV therapy or the popular Myers Cocktail, our team of certified doctors and nurses at Vitality BioMed are here to ensure a relaxing and reinvigorating service.

What is IV Therapy?

IV therapy, short for intravenous therapy, involves delivering vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an IV drip. This bypasses your digestive system, ensuring maximum absorption and faster results.

From improving energy and immune function to supporting detoxification with powerful antioxidants like glutathione, IV therapy provides a range of benefits. NAD IV therapy, for example, is designed to boost cellular repair and energy production, making it a popular choice for those focused on anti-aging and brain health. The well-known Myers Cocktail, packed with vitamins C and B, magnesium, and other nutrients, is perfect for overall wellness, stress reduction, and immune support.

Once you have been cleared by our naturopath you are ready for your first IV treatment at Vitality BioMed! Already have a naturopath? No problem, we do require you to complete a visit with our medical team for liability purposes, we do offer an IV only intake with Dr. Cooper which is brief and only intended to review contraindications for medical clearance for IV therapy. Once this visit is complete you can come for IV’s as frequently as you desire. Before your first IV appointment we ask that you are well hydrated and have a protein rich meal or snack, this reduces the chances of you feeling light headed during the treatment. When you arrive at the clinic you will meet our experienced nursing team lead by Maddison Miller, also known as the ‘vein whisperer’, you are in good hands with her, her gentle and compassionate approach will leave you feeling relaxed and at ease. Once the IV is flowing you will have the opportunity to add on additional services to your IV treatment to enhance your overall experience and recovery, consider adding oxygen therapy, for increased energy and brain clarity or harmonic light therapy, for deeper relaxation and recovery. Our team of experts will guide you through the process and ensure you are comfortable and feeling great when you leave! It usually takes around an hour to complete an IV, however everyone is different and the time it takes is dependent on many factors such as hydration levels.
