1. Tell us about your deficiency
We start virtually with a review of your clinical history, symptoms, and blood work to assess your baseline iron markers, identify any additional testing, and confirm eligibility.
IV Therapy
IV Iron Infusions
Rapid and direct correction of chronic iron deficiency, restoring the energy, focus, and clarity that depleted iron stores quietly drain away.
Iron is an essential mineral your body relies on to produce healthy red blood cells, support cognitive clarity, and fuel your daily energy. When stores are depleted for months or years, every system works harder to function, leading to chronic symptoms that lower your quality of life, especially in your brain and muscles.
Why IV iron
Key advantages over oral iron
IV iron offers a few meaningful advantages when oral supplements fall short.
- Bypasses gut absorption issues to completely eliminate digestive discomfort.
- A quick, convenient option that typically requires just one or two infusions.
- Rapidly restores iron stores, especially when oral iron has failed.
- Delivers transformative results to get you feeling better, fast.
Who benefits
Who might benefit from IV iron
IV iron is often recommended for patients who:
- Have low iron or iron deficiency anemia confirmed by bloodwork.
- Cannot tolerate oral iron due to side effects like constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain.
- Have not seen improvement with oral iron therapy.
- Have conditions that reduce absorption such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or gastric bypass surgery.
- Need iron replenishment quickly, such as before surgery, during pregnancy, or with severe anemia.
