IV Therapy in Edmonton — Tailored Wellness by TruMed’s Naturopathic Doctors

At TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, our Naturopathic Doctors (aka naturopaths) take IV Therapy to the next level — using targeted nutrient infusions to boost your energy, mood, immunity, and overall performance. Each IV is personalized, scientifically designed, and delivered by experienced clinicians who understand both natural medicine and real-world results.

IV Therapy for Fatigue

Feeling like your battery is permanently stuck at 12%? Fatigue is one of the most common reasons people explore IV Therapy in Edmonton, but there can be plenty of reasons behind that tired feeling. Low iron, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid issues, hormonal changes, chronic illness and cellular energy demands can all play a role. If  fatigue has become your unwanted full-time job, our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors can help investigate what may be driving it. Depending on your needs, IV therapy may include IV iron, NAD+, glutathione, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C and other nutrients. The goal isn't simply to give you a bag of vitamins and send you on your way—it is to choose an IV that actually makes sense for you.

IV Therapy for Women's Health

Women have a lot on their plates—and sometimes their nutrient stores take the hit. Heavy periods, pregnancy, postpartum demands, hormonal changes and chronic stress can all contribute to fatigue and nutritional depletion. Learn more about how our Naturopathic Doctors approach women's health and the role IV Therapy can play in a broader treatment plan. IV iron can be particularly useful when iron deficiency is confirmed, while vitamin IVs containing B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C may provide additional nutritional support. Glutathione can also be incorporated into selected antioxidant and wellness protocols, while NAD+ may be considered when cellular energy support is a priority.

IV Therapy for Hormones

Hormones have a funny way of making themselves known—through fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, changes in weight, mood swings and sometimes the feeling that your body has completely changed the rules. Our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors take a broader look at hormone health, including thyroid function, iron status, nutrition and other factors that may be contributing to symptoms. Depending on your individual needs, IV vitamins, magnesium and B vitamins may provide nutritional support, while IV iron can address confirmed iron deficiency. NAD+ and glutathione may also be incorporated into selected wellness protocols.

IV Therapy for Digestive Concerns

Your digestive system doesn't always appreciate being asked to process one more supplement, particularly when you're already dealing with bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea or other digestive complaints. IV Therapy provides a way to deliver selected nutrients without relying on gastrointestinal absorption. If your gut has been giving you more drama than you signed up for, explore our approach to  digestive health at TruMed. Customized IVs may contain B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C and glutathione, while IV iron may be considered when iron deficiency is present and oral iron is poorly tolerated. IV therapy is used as supportive care while the underlying digestive issue is investigated and addressed.

IV Therapy for Weight Loss

There is considerably more to weight management than “eat less and exercise more.” Thyroid function, hormones, iron status, nutrition, sleep and metabolic health can all influence energy and how well you function day to day. Our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors look beyond the bathroom scale to investigate the factors that may be getting in the way of healthy weight management. IV vitamin therapy can provide targeted nutritional support when deficiencies are identified. IV iron may be appropriate when iron deficiency is contributing to fatigue or poor exercise tolerance, while NAD+ may be considered in selected cellular-energy and wellness protocols. Think of IV Therapy as a supporting player—not the entire weight-loss team.

IV Therapy for Thyroid Concerns

Thyroid problems can leave you feeling tired, foggy, sluggish and frustrated—and sometimes the symptoms are surprisingly nonspecific. Explore our naturopathic approach to thyroid health and how IV Therapy may complement a broader thyroid treatment plan. Iron is important for normal thyroid hormone production, making IV iron a potential consideration when laboratory testing confirms iron deficiency. Customized IV vitamins, including B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C, may also be used when appropriate. NAD+ and glutathione can be incorporated into selected supportive protocols.

IV Therapy for Skin Health

Good skin doesn't happen entirely in the bathroom cabinet. Nutritional status, oxidative stress and overall health can all influence how your skin looks and functions. Learn more about our approach to skin health and how IV Therapy can provide targeted nutritional and antioxidant support from the inside out. Glutathione IV therapy is particularly popular for its antioxidant properties, while vitamin IVs may provide nutrients such as vitamin C and B vitamins when appropriate. IV iron may also be considered when documented iron deficiency is contributing to fatigue or poor overall health. Your skin may be showing you more than you think.

IV Therapy for Mood & Brain Fog

When your brain feels like it is running on dial-up, everything takes more effort. Poor sleep, stress, nutritional deficiencies, iron deficiency, hormonal changes and chronic health conditions can all contribute to low mood and brain fog. If your mood concentration or mental energy isn't what it used to be, our Naturopathic Doctors can investigate the bigger picture rather than simply treating the symptom. Depending on your needs, vitamin IVs containing B vitamins and magnesium may provide nutritional support, while IV iron can be useful when deficiency is identified. NAD+ may be considered in selected cellular-energy protocols, and glutathione can provide antioxidant support.

IV Therapy for Autoimmune Conditions

Living with an autoimmune condition can be exhausting—literally. Chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies and the demands of managing a long-term condition can all take a toll. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to autoimmune conditions and where IV Therapy may fit into a comprehensive treatment plan. Customized IVs may include vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium and glutathione, while IV iron can be considered when iron deficiency is confirmed. NAD+ may also be incorporated into selected wellness protocols. IV Therapy is supportive care, not a replacement for disease-modifying or conventional medical treatment, but it can be one more tool in the toolbox.

IV Therapy for Fertility

When you're preparing for pregnancy, nutritional status matters—and so does getting the basics right before adding anything fancy. Explore our fertility-focused approach, including how we assess iron, thyroid function, hormones and nutritional status before considering IV Therapy. IV iron may be appropriate when iron deficiency is confirmed, while carefully selected vitamin IVs can provide nutritional support in appropriate circumstances. Glutathione and other antioxidant nutrients may also be considered in individualized preconception protocols. Fertility care is highly individualized, and IV Therapy is used selectively rather than as a universal fertility treatment.

IV Therapy for Brain Injury & Concussion

Concussions don't always end when the initial injury does. Fatigue, headaches, brain fog, poor concentration, sleep problems and reduced exercise tolerance can linger well beyond the first few days. Learn more about our approach to concussion and brain injury recovery and where IV Therapy may fit into supportive care. Vitamin IVs containing nutrients such as B vitamins and magnesium may be considered, while NAD+ is of interest for cellular energy and cognitive support. Glutathione can provide antioxidant support, and IV iron may be appropriate when laboratory testing identifies iron deficiency contributing to fatigue. IV Therapy works best as part of a broader recovery plan.

IV Therapy for Cancer Support

Cancer treatment can place enormous demands on the body, and patients may experience fatigue, nutritional depletion and other challenges along the way. Explore our cancer-supportive care approach and how IV Therapy may be used alongside, rather than instead of, conventional oncology treatment. Customized vitamin IVs may provide nutritional support, while glutathione and vitamin C may be considered in selected protocols. IV iron can be useful when iron deficiency is confirmed and replacement is appropriate. NAD+ may also be considered in selected wellness and recovery protocols. Cancer care requires careful coordination with your oncology team, and every IV treatment should be individualized.

IV Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

MS can be unpredictable, and fatigue alone can feel like a full-time opponent. Nutritional deficiencies, low iron, reduced exercise capacity and the general demands of living with a chronic neurological condition can all compound the problem. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to Multiple Sclerosis and how IV Therapy may provide supportive nutritional and wellness care. IV vitamins may include B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C, while IV iron can be considered when iron deficiency is documented. NAD+ may be incorporated into selected cellular-energy protocols, and glutathione may provide antioxidant support. IV Therapy does not cure MS or replace disease-modifying treatment—but for some patients, it may be a useful addition to comprehensive care.

IV Therapy for Pediatrics

Kids aren't just small adults, which is why pediatric IV Therapy deserves a much more careful approach. Learn more about our pediatric care and when IV vitamins, minerals or hydration therapy may—or may not—be appropriate for a child. When clinically indicated, selected vitamin and mineral infusions may be considered under appropriate professional supervision. IV iron is reserved for situations where iron deficiency has been properly established and intravenous replacement is justified. NAD+ and glutathione are not routine pediatric IV treatments and require individual clinical consideration. Sometimes the best IV is the one a child doesn't actually need.

IV Therapy for Long COVID

Long COVID can leave people feeling like the infection ended but someone forgot to turn the fatigue off. Persistent exhaustion, brain fog, reduced exercise tolerance and other post-viral symptoms can be frustrating and difficult to pin down. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to Long COVID and how IV Therapy may be incorporated into a broader recovery strategy. IV iron may be considered when testing identifies depleted iron stores, while NAD+ may be used in selected protocols focused on cellular energy and fatigue. Vitamin IVs can provide nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C, while glutathione may provide antioxidant support. Because Long COVID can look different from one person to the next, treatment needs to be individualized

Beat Fatigue — Fast

Feeling drained? Fatigue is the #1 reason people visit our clinic for IV Therapy in Edmonton. Our naturopaths perform a detailed workup to find out why you’re tired — and then design IV drips that recharge your cells from the inside out. These energy-focused infusions support your mitochondria (your body’s energy factories), and many patients feel a noticeable lift within 24 hours.
We often recommend weekly IVs for a few weeks to build up your levels — perfect for fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, or post-viral exhaustion.

Glow from the Inside Out

Want brighter, more radiant skin? Our cosmetic IV drips help support healthy collagen production and promote lighter skin tones by naturally shifting melanin balance. These beauty-focused infusions are popular with patients looking to brighten, even out skin tone, and get that extra glow.
Many clients visit weekly for 8–12 weeks for best results — it’s beauty and wellness rolled into one IV bag.

Boost Immunity Naturally

When you feel a cold or flu coming on, don’t wait — get a drip! Our immune IVs deliver high doses of vitamins and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream to support your body’s defenses. This approach helps you bounce back faster from infections and may even shorten the duration of illnesses.
Our patients often feel dramatically better within a day — especially when IV therapy is started early during acute symptoms.

Longevity & Anti-Aging

Looking to feel younger, longer? Our longevity IVs feature nutrients that support cellular repair, reduce oxidative stress, and activate sirtuin pathways — key players in healthspan and aging.
Many patients report better energy, mental clarity, and resilience after just a few sessions. Most start weekly for four weeks, then maintain with monthly IVs to keep that long-term vitality edge.

Athletic Performance & Recovery

Athletes love IV therapy — and for good reason. Whether you’re training hard or recovering post-event, IV drips help optimize hydration, boost endurance, and reduce downtime.
We use ingredients that fuel mitochondria and enhance focus, giving you that competitive edge before or after performance. Our Edmonton athletes often preload with IVs before big events — and swear by the recovery boost afterward.

Fertility Support

Our fertility IV protocols are designed for both men and women looking to improve reproductive health. By delivering fertility-supporting nutrients directly into the bloodstream, we can help enhance sperm quality, egg health, and embryo development — especially for women with lower ovarian reserve.
Your naturopathic doctor will design a fertility-focused plan tailored to your specific needs and test results.

Mood, Clarity & Calm

Mood matters — and IV therapy can make a difference. Our naturopathic team uses targeted IV nutrients to help support serotonin, dopamine, and overall brain chemistry. These infusions can complement oral or hormonal treatments for anxiety and depression and often work much faster.
Patients frequently report feeling calmer, clearer, and more uplifted within days — it’s natural mood support, elevated.

IV Lipoic Acid

Background: Alpha-lipoic acid is an anti-oxidant we make in our bodies that not only recycles other antioxidants but is directly involved in energy production.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is involved in the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA so it can enter the Krebs Cycle. 

Lipoic Acid is only absorbed about 30% when taken orally and this is further reduced when taken with food so our Naturopathic doctors definitely prefer giving it in IV Therapy format.

When combined with LDN, intravenous Lipoic Acid has some amazing data in Pancreatic, and Kidney Cancer as well as Lung and Brain Cancer and is thought to be enhanced with Hyperbaric Oxygen.

Case 1: Female in her 60s with metastatic breast cancer.

History: Patient with breast cancer that denied standard care.

Initially went for treatment at a Mexican clinic before coming to our Edmonton office.

Spread to the bone and lung, fluid in the lung precluded large volume IV Therapy (eg. IV Vitamin C). Metabolic Cancer Treatment was chosen as the initial path of care with Intravenous Lipoic Acid as the foundational treatment.

Treatment: Lipoic Acid IV Therapy coupled with Hyperbaric Oxygen was commenced along with an oral metabolic protocol.

Patient undertook twice weekly Hyperbaric Oxygen followed by IV Therapy.

Subsequent tumor marker measurements over an 11 month period showed steady decline in the absence of any standard care. 

Summary: Lipoic Acid is a strong anti-oxidant that has dramatically enhanced bioavailability when given intravenously.

Our Naturopathic Doctors strongly consider the use of Lipoic Acid IV Therapy in the metabolic treatment of Cancer.

IV Plaquex

Background: Cellular membrane integrity can be maintained in part, by replacement of damaged phospholipids which are essential for the structure, and function of our cellular membranes.

Intravenous administration of Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine - the major cellular phospholipids) can help replace damaged phospholipids in our cells' membranes.

Our Naturopathic Doctors consider Intravenous Plaquex for Cardiovascular Disease, various Liver diseases, Neurodegenerative Diseases (eg. MS, Alzheimer's etc), Lyme Disease and Mold toxicity.

Case 1: Female in early 30's with Lyme Disease 

History: Patient was infected in 2014 with stereotypical bullseye rash.

A seven month gap between rash and antibiotic treatment, she subsequently developed joint and neurological sequelae.

She was treated by a Lyme literate MD in the US and she came to our Edmonton office for continuation IV Therapy treatment in 2015.

Treatment: Her intravenous therapy "stack" was IV Phospholipids, followed by IV Alpha Lipoic Acid and then IV Glutathione, with alternate days of IV Glutathione treatment.

In particular, this IV Therapy regime was extremely efficacious in treatment of Lyme associated fatigue, brain fog and joint pain.

Summary: IV Therapy with Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) replenishes cell membranes with potential use in Lyme disease as discussed above as well as Cardiovascular and Liver Disease, Mold toxicity and  Neurodegenerative Disease. 

Plaquex is an IV therapy that takes time to work as one is slowly replacing damaged phospholipids in cell membranes.

Plaquex is most commonly combined with Glutathione IV Therapy for Lyme, Neurodegeneration and Mold.

IV Curcumin

Background: Curcumin is of course the famous yellow pigment found in turmeric root.

Curcumin has anti-oxidant, immune modulating, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.

The oral bioavailability of curcumin is low which makes it a great candidate for use in IV treatments.

Case 1: Male with metastatic prostate cancer seeking continuation IV Therapy

History: Patient elected to not do traditional chemotherapy, rather to do Insulin Potentiated Chemotherapy (IPT) abroad in addition to numerous alternative IV Therapy treatments and hyperbaric oxygen.

Treatments: Patient had done IV Vitamin C, IV Wormwood, IV PolyMVA and IV Curcumin.

Intravenous curcumin was the preferred treatment based off of high sensitivity on chemosensitivity testing done at a lab in Greece.

Patient alternated Vitamin C and Curcumin IV Therapy over a two year period at our Edmonton office in addition to IPT done in the US with synergistic effect in management of the PSA. Some Immune IV treatments and Intravenous Lipoic Acid were used by this patient occasionally as well.

Summary: Curcumin as substance has excellent versatility - our Naturopaths use it for pain, autoimmunity and as demonstrated in integrative cancer care.

Intravenous Curcumin is frequently started at a low dose to assess tolerability. Our Naturopaths mainly use Intravenous Curcumin in Integrative Cancer care and most often it's given twice weekly.

IV Therapy with Curcumin does tend to have an extremely vein irritative effect and needs to be extremely dilute to avoid this reaction.     

**As of time of writing (May 2024) - we no longer regularly offer Curcumin intravenously.

Because Curcumin has poor oral bioavailability we offer it in IV Therapy format at our Edmonton clinic.

IV Therapy in Edmonton — Clinical Experience at TruMed Clinic

At TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, our Naturopathic Doctors have administered thousands of customized IV Therapy treatments since 2010 — helping patients with fatigue, immunity, mood, longevity, cancer support, and more. Each case is a reflection of how targeted, evidence-informed nutrient therapy can profoundly impact individual health outcomes. Below are detailed examples from our clinical practice demonstrating the power and versatility of naturopathic IV therapy.

Myers Cocktail IV Therapy

Overview:
Originally developed by Dr. John Myers and later refined by Dr. Alan Gaby, the Myers’ Cocktail is a foundational IV therapy that combines key vitamins and minerals — including B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C — to enhance cellular metabolism, nervous system balance, and immune function.

At TruMed, our Naturopaths have optimized the classic formula, adding Vitamin B2 and a concentrated form of B12 to improve results for our Edmonton patients.

Case Example:
A woman in her 50s presented with persistent fatigue unresponsive to hormonal therapies and adrenal support. Even intramuscular B12 injections offered little relief. However, after receiving a Myers Cocktail IV, she experienced a marked improvement in energy and vitality — consistent with Gaby’s early observations that the intravenous route offers superior absorption and faster results.

Summary:
The Myers’ Cocktail remains a cornerstone of IV Therapy at our clinic — particularly for fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and immune dysfunction. Treatments are typically given weekly for 4 weeks, followed by maintenance every 4–6 weeks. Sessions last 15–20 minutes and are extremely well tolerated.

Vitamin C IV Therapy

Overview:
Intravenous Vitamin C achieves serum concentrations up to 100 times higher than oral intake, unlocking powerful antioxidant, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Depending on the goal, TruMed’s naturopathic doctors use low-dose (≤15g) or high-dose (20–125g) infusions, often in synergy with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Case Example:
A man in his 50s with follicular lymphoma began receiving 50g Vitamin C IVs monthly alongside metabolic therapies such as LDN and Hyperbaric Oxygen. Over seven years of follow-up at our Edmonton clinic, his scans have shown stable disease control without relapse.

Summary:
Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton frequently recommend Vitamin C IV therapy for chronic infections, immune support, and adjunctive cancer care. Treatments are safe, well tolerated, and often performed 1–2 times weekly initially before transitioning to maintenance sessions.

Glutathione IV Therapy

Overview:
Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, essential for detoxification, cellular repair, and immune regulation. Our clinic has used IV Glutathione therapy in Edmonton for over a decade to address inflammation, neurodegenerative conditions, mold toxicity, and skin health.

Case Example:
A man in his 60s with Crohn’s disease experienced limited relief from standard therapies and Hyperbaric Oxygen alone. Upon introducing IV Glutathione and a customized nutrient infusion, he reported significant symptom improvement within days, with effects lasting up to four days post-infusion.

Summary:
TruMed’s naturopaths use Glutathione IVs for both detoxification and longevity enhancement. For cosmetic goals, treatments are often given 1–2 times weekly for 6–8 weeks; for acute inflammation, every other day until symptoms resolve. Adverse effects are exceptionally rare.

NAD+ IV Therapy

Overview:
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is critical for cellular energy production and DNA repair. NAD+ IV therapy is particularly useful for patients with chronic fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, or neurological concerns.

Case Example:
A woman in her early 40s with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis had minimal benefit from thyroid medications or Myers’ Cocktail IVs. When she began NAD+ IV Therapy, she experienced sustained improvements in energy and cognitive clarity lasting up to four weeks per infusion.

Summary:
Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton use NAD+ IV Therapy for chronic fatigue, burnout, and metabolic optimization. Initial protocols involve weekly treatments for four weeks, with booster infusions as needed. NAD+ may be combined with the Myers’ Cocktail for synergistic effects.

Evidence-Based IV Therapy in Edmonton

Advanced Nutrient Medicine with Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed Clinic

At TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, our Naturopathic Doctors provide a modern, research-driven approach to IV Therapy, combining decades of naturopathic experience with peer-reviewed science. Our focus is on intravenous nutrient therapies that improve energy production, immune response, neurological function, detoxification, and even cancer support. Every formula we use — from Vitamin C to Glutathione, NAD+, and the Myers Cocktail — is medically supervised, precisely dosed, and grounded in both clinical evidence and biochemical understanding.

High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy

Why Intravenous Vitamin C Works

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) behaves differently when administered intravenously compared to oral dosing. While oral Vitamin C saturates at serum levels of about 0.25 mM, IV Vitamin C can reach concentrations over 30 mM, more than 100 times higher (Levine 2011). These pharmacologic levels produce effects not possible through dietary or oral supplementation, allowing Vitamin C to act as both a powerful antioxidant and a targeted oxidative therapy.

Vitamin C and Cancer Support

At pharmacologic doses, Vitamin C generates hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which selectively affects tumor cells that lack the enzyme catalase — the enzyme responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen (Chen 2005). Tumor cells also absorb Vitamin C more readily because of their increased glucose demand — a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect (Agus 1997).

Several clinical studies demonstrate the potential of IV Vitamin C in oncology care:

• Ma et al. (2014) reported that ovarian cancer patients receiving IV Vitamin C alongside chemotherapy experienced fewer side effects and delayed disease progression by nearly 9 months compared to chemotherapy alone.

• Vollbracht et al. (2011) showed that breast cancer patients receiving 7.5 g IV Vitamin C in addition to standard therapy had reduced symptoms and improved quality of life.

• Bazzan et al. (2018) analyzed 86 patients at Thomas Jefferson University receiving over 3,000 IV Vitamin C infusions and found consistent improvements in fatigue, pain, and bowel function.

• Takahashi et al. (2012) confirmed these findings in Japanese oncology patients, noting significant improvements in physical, emotional, and social well-being within four weeks of IV Vitamin C treatment.

Because of this compelling data, our Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed frequently integrate IV Vitamin C alongside chemotherapy — typically on “off-days” — to improve tolerance and support overall recovery.

Vitamin C and Infection & Immunity

Vitamin C plays a critical role in neutrophil function, interferon production, and antiviral defense. At pharmacologic concentrations, it has been shown to inhibit viral replication in vitro for pathogens such as HSV, cytomegalovirus, and influenza.

In a clinical study of 178 patients with chronic viral infections and high Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antibody titers, high-dose IV Vitamin C (7.5–50 g) led to significant reductions in antibody levels and symptom duration (Mikirova 2014).

Top Five Benefits of IV Vitamin C

1. Therapeutic Dosing – IV delivery allows up to 125 g of Vitamin C, compared to a 5–6 g oral limit.

2. Pharmacologic Activity – IV Vitamin C acts as both an antioxidant and a pro-oxidant, providing immune and anticancer effects.

3. Synergistic Compatibility – Easily combined with Magnesium, B Vitamins, Calcium, and Zinc for enhanced results.

4. Safety – IV Vitamin C is remarkably well tolerated, even in elderly and immune-compromised patients.

5. Proven Effectiveness – Consistent clinical and in-house results in fatigue, infection, and oncology support.

The Myers Cocktail – Clinical Nutrient Infusion

Originally designed by Dr. John Myers and refined by Dr. Alan Gaby, the Myers Cocktail remains one of the most versatile and effective IV treatments for fatigue, migraines, immune health, and mood.

What’s in the TruMed Myers?

Our Edmonton naturopaths have modernized the original formula by increasing the dose of B vitamins, adding Riboflavin (B2) and Methylcobalamin (B12), and adjusting tonicity for optimal cellular uptake.

Typical formula includes:

• B1 (Thiamine) – Supports ATP production; often used for fatigue and cognitive clarity.

• B2 (Riboflavin-5’-Phosphate) – Crucial for mitochondrial energy and migraine prevention.

• B3 (Niacinamide) – Precursor to NAD⁺, supports serotonin synthesis and lipid metabolism.

• B5 (Dexpanthenol) – Required for coenzyme A production and adrenal hormone synthesis.

• B6 (Pyridoxine / P5P) – Important for neurotransmitter balance, immune function, and hormone metabolism.

• B12 (Methyl- and Adenosylcobalamin) – Enhances mood, energy, and nerve repair.

• Magnesium Sulfate – Relieves muscle tension, supports ATP activation, and mitigates migraines.

• Vitamin C – Immune and antioxidant support.

Clinical Applications

Dr. Gaby’s case series (2002) demonstrated success treating fatigue, asthma, fibromyalgia, migraines, allergies, depression, and chronic hives with the Myers formula. At TruMed Clinic, we’ve verified these results firsthand in thousands of Edmonton patients — particularly for fatigue, low mood, and athletic recovery.

Patients often feel improvement within 24 hours of the first infusion, though some require 3–4 weekly sessions for full results.

Glutathione IV Therapy

Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, essential for detoxification, immune modulation, and cellular repair. When administered intravenously, it rapidly replenishes depleted stores in the liver, brain, and mitochondria.

• Parkinson’s disease study (Hauser et al., 1996): 600 mg IV twice daily for 30 days led to a 42% reduction in disability, with benefits lasting months after treatment cessation.

• Liver protection study (Hershko et al., 2003): Co-administration of Glutathione with Alpha Lipoic Acid prevented liver enzyme elevation during long-term antibiotic therapy in Lyme patients.

• Fatty liver study (Italian cohort, 2011): IV Glutathione significantly improved AST, ALT, and GGT levels, with sustained benefits post-treatment.

Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton routinely use IV Glutathione for neurological health, detoxification, chronic fatigue, and cosmetic skin brightening. Repeated dosing (2–3 times per week) has proven both safe and effective.

NAD⁺ IV Therapy

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is a fundamental coenzyme in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial energy production, and DNA repair. Levels decline naturally with age, stress, and illness, leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, and mood issues.

• O’Hollaren (1961) – Early evidence supporting IV NAD⁺ in addiction recovery across 104 cases.

• Broom (2019) – IV NAD⁺ significantly reduced craving and withdrawal symptoms in patients detoxing from alcohol and opioids.

• Rutherford (2020) – Case report of improved tremor and motor control in a Parkinson’s patient after NAD⁺ infusions.

• Blum (2022) – Combined NAD⁺ with antioxidants and amino acids, demonstrating improved outcomes in addiction and mental health management.

Our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors frequently prescribe IV NAD⁺ for chronic fatigue, neurological conditions, post-COVID fatigue, and addiction recovery, often reporting immediate increases in energy, clarity, and mood.

IV Therapy at TruMed Clinic in Edmonton

At TruMed Clinic, our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton use evidence-based IV Therapy to support fatigue, immunity, detoxification, and chronic conditions. Each treatment is customized, medically supervised, and aimed at delivering fast, targeted results.

Myers’ Cocktail IV Therapy

The Myers Cocktail is a classic blend of B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C designed to boost energy and support recovery. Our Edmonton naturopaths use an enhanced formula that includes additional B2 and higher-dose B12.

Case Example: A woman in her 50s with persistent fatigue found little benefit from hormone or B12 shots, but experienced significant energy improvement after Myers IV Therapy. We typically recommend weekly sessions for 4 weeks, followed by maintenance every 4–6 weeks.

Vitamin C IV Therapy

Intravenous Vitamin C allows for blood concentrations up to 100 times higher than oral doses, supporting immune defense, tissue repair, and cellular detox.

Case Example: A man in his 50s with follicular lymphoma achieved long-term disease stability with ongoing high-dose Vitamin C IVs (50g monthly) combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen. Many patients benefit from 1–2 sessions weekly for infections or immune support.

Glutathione IV Therapy

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that supports detoxification, immune balance, and healthy aging.

Case Example: A patient with Crohn’s disease experienced rapid symptom improvement when Glutathione IVs were added to treatment. Our naturopaths often use Glutathione for inflammation, mold toxicity, and cosmetic skin brightening.

NAD+ IV Therapy

NAD+ supports mitochondrial energy production and cellular repair.

Case Example: A woman with autoimmune-related fatigue experienced her best energy improvement after NAD+ infusions when other therapies failed. NAD+ IV Therapy is typically given weekly for one month, with effects lasting several weeks.

Alpha Lipoic Acid IV Therapy

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) enhances antioxidant recycling and energy metabolism.

Case Example: A woman with metastatic breast cancer declined conventional treatment and used Lipoic Acid IVs with Hyperbaric Oxygen, showing steady clinical improvement over 11 months. ALA IV Therapy is also used in metabolic cancer care and neuropathies.

Plaquex IV Therapy

Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) helps restore damaged cell membranes and improve cardiovascular, liver, and neurological function.

Case Example: A patient with chronic Lyme disease experienced marked improvements in fatigue and brain fog using a combination of Plaquex, Lipoic Acid, and Glutathione IVs.

Curcumin IV Therapy

Curcumin provides potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Case Example: A prostate cancer patient used alternating Curcumin and Vitamin C infusions alongside integrative therapies, achieving stable disease control. Curcumin IV Therapy is primarily used in cancer and autoimmune care.

NADH IV Therapy

NADH directly supports cellular ATP production and neurological function.

Case Example: A fibromyalgia patient unresponsive to other IVs improved significantly with NADH infusions, regaining energy and reducing pain.

Many patients combine IV therapy with NAD+ and iron infusions for comprehensive nutrient restoration.

Why IV? Why Not Just a Pill?

Great question! When taken by mouth, NAD+ gets mostly broken down before your body can use it. IV NAD+ skips the digestive system entirely and goes straight into your bloodstream for maximum effect.

You’ll often feel a boost before the IV is even finished.

What Can NAD+ IVs Help With?

Brain fog? Clear it.
Fatigue? Crush it.
Detox? Let’s do it.

NAD+ & The Brain ????

At TruMed, we take brain health seriously. NAD+ supports:

• Mitochondrial repair

• Neurogenesis

• DNA repair

• Detox from oxidative stress

NAD+ IVs may be especially helpful for patients with:

• Cognitive decline

• Neurological conditions

• Brain fog & burnou 

The Science-y Bits (For the Nerds Like Us)

• NAD+ fuels your mitochondria → more ATP = more energy

• Needed for DNA repair, serotonin production, and oxidative stress defense

• Works hand-in-hand with glutathione, sirtuins, and even your happy neurotransmitters

• Can be made from tryptophan, niacin, NMN or NR—but IV NAD+ skips the middlemen

Glutathione Injections in Edmonton 

Skin Brightening & Lightening IV Therapy in Edmonton

Looking for that lit-from-within glow? Our Edmonton clinic offers a range of oral and IV treatments designed to brighten, lighten, and refresh your skin—because dull is never in style.

Our signature cosmetic IVs are powered by glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant and our go-to for a brighter, fresher, more radiant complexion.

IV Glutathione: The Glow-Getter

Here’s the deal: glutathione is naturally made in your body—but we give it a major boost. It helps detox, fights off dullness, and gives your skin that even, luminous tone. When paired with high-dose IV Vitamin C, it’s like a double shot of glow. ????✨

We often start with IV Vitamin C (so glutathione doesn’t have to do all the heavy lifting), then follow it up with IV glutathione injections to target skin pigmentation and support your natural radiance.

Each treatment takes around 40 minutes, and yes—you can usually get your first IV on the same day as your consult. Easy.

What’s Actually Happening?

Glutathione injections help flip the switch on melanin production—nudging your skin to produce lighter, golden-toned pheomelanin instead of the deeper eumelanin. Think: soft glow instead of stubborn spots.

Fun fact: glutathione’s skin-lightening powers were discovered by accident when people taking high doses for other health reasons noticed their skin getting lighter. Lucky us!

The Research Has Your Back

We’re science-backed but never boring. A few quick highlights:

• In 2012, a study showed that people taking glutathione had lighter skin in just 4 weeks.

• In 2017, another study found that after 12 weeks, glutathione users had brighter skin, fewer wrinkles, and more bounce-back (aka elasticity). Glow goals achieved.

What to Expect from a Skin IV Glutathione Series

For best results, we usually recommend 1–2 IVs per week for 4–6 weeks. Think of it as a glow-up journey, not a one-night stand.

We often pair our IVs with targeted oral supplements for extra support—and for bonus points, we can even compound a custom topical niacinamide cream to help with local brightening and breakouts.

Support Squad: Nutrients That Help You Shine

We’re all about boosting your body’s own glow power. Sometimes we add a pre-IV mix with nutrients that help your body make (and keep) more glutathione, including:

• B2 (Riboflavin): The enzyme whisperer

• B5 (Pantothenic Acid): For smooth operator CoA action

• B12 (Methylcobalamin): B12 and GSH are total BFFs

• Vitamin C: Think of it as glutathione’s wingman

• Selenium: The unsung antioxidant co-hero

• Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Sometimes we toss this in too—it's great for glowing skin and energy.

Why Choose IV Iron Infusions?

• Fast Correction: IV iron bypasses the gut and delivers iron directly into circulation, rapidly replenishing iron and hemoglobin.

• Well Tolerated: Modern IV iron formulations have excellent safety profiles with minimal side effects.

• Sustained Effect: A single infusion can restore iron levels for months, reducing the need for ongoing oral supplementation.

• Improved Energy & Clarity: Most patients report noticeable improvement in fatigue, stamina, and mental clarity within 2–3 weeks.

Who Needs IV Iron Therapy?

Iron infusions are most commonly recommended for patients who have:

• Iron-deficiency anemia confirmed by bloodwork.

• Heavy menstrual cycles, leading to ongoing iron loss.

• Pregnancy-related anemia, when rapid correction is needed for maternal and fetal health.

• Chronic diseases such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, or celiac disease.

• Post-surgical or post-blood loss recovery.

• Athletes with increased metabolic demands and iron loss through sweat and training.

At TruMed, we carefully review lab results, medical history, and treatment goals to design a personalized IV iron plan for each patient.

What to Expect from an Iron Infusion at TruMed

• Treatment Time: Most infusions take 45–90 minutes.

• Comfortable Setting: Infusions are delivered in our modern IV lounge with full monitoring.

• Possible Side Effects: Temporary metallic taste, mild headache, or muscle aches. Severe reactions are very rare with modern IV iron.

• Follow-Up: Repeat bloodwork is recommended to track progress and determine if further infusions are needed.

IV Therapy in Edmonton – Evidence-Based Naturopathic Medicine

At TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, our Naturopathic Doctors provide IV Therapy that combines advanced nutritional science with integrative medical research. Each IV is formulated to support energy, immunity, detoxification, and cellular repair — with protocols grounded in peer-reviewed studies.

Vitamin C IV Therapy

Why IV Vitamin C?
Oral Vitamin C reaches limited blood levels (<0.25 mM), while IV Vitamin C can exceed 30 mM, achieving pharmacologic effects (Levine, 2011). At these concentrations, Vitamin C can act as a pro-oxidant, generating hydrogen peroxide that selectively targets tumor cells, which often lack protective catalase enzymes (Chen, 2005).

Cancer Support & Quality of Life
Clinical studies have shown improved quality of life, reduced fatigue, and fewer chemotherapy side effects with IV Vitamin C. In ovarian cancer, concurrent IV Vitamin C extended disease-free progression by over eight months (Ma, 2014). Additional data from Japan and the U.S. confirmed improvements in fatigue, pain, and emotional well-being (Bazzan, 2018; Takahashi, 2012).

Immunity & Infection
Vitamin C enhances immune defense by supporting neutrophil activity and antiviral cytokines. IV Vitamin C has demonstrated inhibition of viral replication, including Epstein–Barr virus and influenza (Mikirova, 2014).

Myers’ Cocktail IV Therapy

Our TruMed Myers Cocktail builds upon Dr. John Myers’ original formula with higher doses of B-vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin C to boost energy, mood, and recovery.
Clinical data show reductions in pain, fatigue, and depression in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue (Gaby, 2002; Ali, 2009). Many patients feel results within 24 hours, especially in fatigue, anxiety, and cognitive function.

Glutathione IV Therapy

Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, critical for liver detoxification and cellular defense. IV Glutathione improves oxidative balance without affecting liver enzymes, even with frequent dosing (Müller, 2013). Studies have demonstrated improved motor function in Parkinson’s patients and normalization of liver markers in fatty liver disease. It’s also used for detoxification, neurological health, and skin brightening.

NAD+ IV Therapy

NAD+ is a vital coenzyme in energy metabolism and DNA repair. Intravenous NAD+ rapidly restores mitochondrial function, supporting fatigue recovery, cognition, and cellular repair. Research demonstrates benefits in addiction recovery, neurodegeneration, and chronic fatigue (O’Hollaren, 1961; Grant, 2019; Rutherford, 2020).

Patients often experience improved stamina, focus, and mental clarity within hours of treatment — effects not typically achieved with oral NAD precursors like NMN or NR.

With thousands of IVs administered since 2010, TruMed remains one of Edmonton’s most trusted destinations for IV Vitamin C, Myers’ Cocktails, NAD+, and Glutathione Therapy — combining science, safety, and real clinical results.
