Intravenous (IV) TherapyA nurse with IV drip and patient in bed in hospital room.

IV therapy is a medical treatment that involves delivering vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. This method allows for a more rapid and efficient absorption of these essential nutrients compared to oral supplementation. IVs are administered in hospitals, clinics, mobile IV clinics, private practices, and at-home visits. IV therapy is a minimally invasive, and safe, therapy that delivers therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals to patients. We only offer IV therapies in office. 

IV therapy is not covered by insurance. 

All IVs must be paid for at the time of scheduling. 

All IV Consults must complete IV intake paperwork through Jane.

Only Glow’s naturopathic doctors can provide medical clearance for any IV therapy.
