Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on naturally occurring substances, minimally invasive methods, and the promotion of natural healing. They also emphasize illness prevention and a healthy diet and lifestyle.

IV Nutrient Therapy

Nutrient intravenous therapy refers to the use of vitamins, minerals, and/or botanicals delivered directly into the bloodstream.

Nutrient intravenous therapy refers to the use of vitamins, minerals, and/or botanicals delivered directly into the bloodstream. This is a safe and effective way to achieve therapeutic levels of nutrients. When you take a supplement orally, you only absorb a percentage of the nutrients contained within the capsule. Capsules and tablets are riddled with preservatives and binders that prevent your body from breaking them down completely, thus decreasing the quantity of nutrients available to be absorbed. By delivering the nutrients directly into your bloodstream, and bypassing the digestive tract, you are able to absorb 100% of the nutrients.

This type of treatment is often used in cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, PMS, athletes, people who do not like taking supplements, among other things! Contact us to learn more.
