IV Vitamin Therapy at Pink Peony

Boost Your Health, Energy & Vitality

Have you been hearing more about IV vitamin therapy? You’re not alone. More and more people are turning to IV nutrient therapy as a safe, effective way to support energy, immune function, and overall well-being.

IV therapy, also known as parenteral nutrition in medical and naturopathic circles, delivers a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for rapid absorption and may help reduce nutritional deficiencies, support recovery, and promote optimal health.

At Pink Peony Naturopathic & Aesthetic Centre, Dr. Nima Naghshgar, ND, offers IV therapy as part of her holistic approach to patient care. By providing the body with essential nutrients at a cellular level, IV therapy can improve energy, boost immunity, and help restore balance naturally.

Why Choose IV Vitamin Therapy?

You might wonder why IV therapy is different from simply taking oral vitamins. The key lies in absorption and speed.

• Direct Absorption: IV nutrients bypass the digestive system, ensuring maximum uptake into the bloodstream.

• Gentle on Digestion: For individuals who experience stomach upset or poor absorption from high-dose oral vitamins (like Vitamin C or magnesium), IV therapy offers an excellent alternative.

• Fast & Effective: Since nutrients are delivered directly into the vein, your body receives them immediately — supporting quicker results.

What is NAD IV Therapy?

NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — a coenzyme found in all living cells.

It plays a critical role in energy metabolism and cellular repair by helping convert food into energy (ATP).

In NAD IV therapy, a solution containing NAD⁺ is slowly infused into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system and ensures higher bioavailability compared to oral supplements.

Benefits of NAD IV

1. Cellular Energy & Anti-Aging

• Boosts mitochondrial function → more ATP production.

• Associated with slowing cellular aging processes.

2. Neurological & Cognitive Support

• May improve focus, memory, and mental clarity.

• Being studied for neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s).

3. Addiction & Withdrawal Support

• Used experimentally to ease withdrawal symptoms from alcohol, opioids, and other substances.

4. Mood & Mental Health

• Some reports of improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better stress tolerance.

5. Metabolic Health

• Potential role in insulin sensitivity and metabolic function.

Administration Details

• Typically given as a slow IV drip over 2–4 hours, sometimes longer.

• Dose and frequency vary (commonly a series of daily sessions over 5–10 days, then maintenance).

• Rapid infusion can cause side effects (nausea, chest tightness, headache), so it must be administered carefully.

Important Notes

• Evidence for many of its claimed benefits is still preliminary.

• It is generally considered safe when given appropriately, but more research is needed.

• Should always be administered under medical supervision
