Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – Supercharge Healing with Pure Oxygen

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is another cutting-edge treatment we offer at TruMed Edmonton. This therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, dramatically increasing oxygen availability in your blood and tissues. HBOT supports wound healing, reduces inflammation, promotes new blood vessel growth, and even boosts brain performance. It’s an excellent complement to IV therapy and functional medicine protocols, especially for conditions like post-viral fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, and neurological recovery. Our Naturopathic Doctors often recommend Hyperbaric Oxygen as part of comprehensive treatment plans designed to help you recover faster and perform better.

Prolotherapy – Regenerative Injection Therapy for Joint Pain

For those dealing with chronic pain, ligament laxity, or joint instability, Prolotherapy offers a powerful, non-surgical option. Prolotherapy involves injecting a natural irritant—usually dextrose—into weakened ligaments or tendons to stimulate local healing and collagen repair. Our Edmonton Naturopaths use Prolotherapy to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from osteoarthritis to sports injuries. This regenerative technique encourages your body to do what it does best: rebuild itself, stronger than before. Often combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or nutrient IV support, Prolotherapy is a favorite among our active patients and athletes.

Hormone Replacement Therapy – Including Testosterone Therapy for Men

Hormonal imbalances can have a dramatic effect on energy, mood, libido, sleep, and metabolism. At TruMed, we specialize in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. For men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone—such as fatigue, low libido, mental fog, or loss of muscle mass—our Naturopathic Doctors offer Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) using safe, bio-identical forms of testosterone, monitored with comprehensive blood testing and clinical oversight.

For women, hormone optimization may involve balancing estrogen, progesterone, or DHEA using bio-identical options tailored to each stage of life. All hormonal therapies are carefully prescribed and monitored by our licensed NDs, with attention to safety, effectiveness, and long-term health. Hormone therapy is often integrated into broader functional medicine strategies that include IV nutrients, lifestyle changes, and botanical support.

Private Iron Infusions and Injections in Edmonton

We have administered over 15,000 IV therapy treatments in Edmonton at our infusion clinic since 2010

In 2025, we added iron infusions to our suite of IV therapy offerings at our office in Edmonton.

Our iron infusions are private medicine - you do not require a referral or a prescription for your doctor to get one. Our nurse practitioner will evaluate each Iron Infusion case, on a person by person basis.

Primarily used suboptimal ferritin as the main criteria for receiving an Iron Infusion at our Clinic. Most commonly patients that seek out iron infusions have failed oral iron therapy or experiences side effects from taking iron by mouth.

Iron infusions can rapidly improve your iron levels. After one or two infusions patients usually have substantially higher iron levels for prolonged periods of time.

We are one of the only private infusion clinics that offer Iron Infusions in Edmonton.

An average Iron Infusion takes about an hour and then we monitor our patients for any iron related reactions for 30 minutes after the end of the infusion.

We do not offer iron injections - intramuscular iron that is, we only offer intravenous iron as it is much safer and requires less treatments. These older iron infusions were associated with anaphylaxis. There is a .002 and .004% risk of anaphylaxis with newer injectable iron types - that is the risk of exceedingly low

These are some of the side effects that can happen with an Iron Infusion: a flushing reaction, chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and back tightness or back pain.  Following an Iron Infusion there can be a range of reactions anywhere from immediately after the IV up to 4 days after: including but not limited to: urticaria, rashes, joint swelling, joint pain, fever, flu-like symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation as well as muscle pain and cramping. 

If the IV is dislodged intravenous iron can cause permanent staining of the skin. Also all the rare a blue tinge to the skin can happen for up to a couple of weeks after receiving an Iron Infusion.

After your Iron Infusion, we will provide a requisition for blood work to be done approximately a month after your last infusion. It's important to not do your testing earlier than this as you can see falsely high values.

See our iron IV page

Our infusion clinic offers Edmonton the following injections: IV NAD+ injections, IV Glutathione injections and various IV drips, and infusions including the Myers Cocktail and IV vitamin C.

NAD+ injections in Edmonton

Our Edmonton Infusion Clinic has given thousands of NAD infusions since 2015.

Most of our NAD injections are dosed between 150-400mg for our Edmonton patients however occasionally we do higher especially in the context of using NAD injections for substance abuse and withdrawal.

NAD+ IV Therapy NAD+ plays a central role in energy metabolism and cellular repair.

Though traditionally believed not to cross cellular membranes, clinical outcomes suggest otherwise.

IV NAD+ demonstrates immediate benefits in addiction recovery, energy, and neurological health.

Studies have documented its efficacy in reducing cravings, supporting mitochondrial function, and improving Parkinson's symptoms.

At TruMed, we prefer IV NAD+ over oral precursors like NMN or NR due to its clear, tangible clinical effects.

NAD+ IV Therapy: Role and Research NAD+ is central to cellular energy and repair.

Though once thought unable to cross cell membranes, our clinical results with IV NAD+ injections suggest otherwise. It acts quickly, supporting detoxification, addiction recovery, and neurological health.

NAD+ is involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and is the substrate for Sirtuins and PARP enzymes, which regulate aging and DNA repair. Oral precursors like NMN and NR have shown limited clinical effect compared to IV administration.

Research highlights include:

• O’Hollaren (1961): IV NAD+ injections in 100+ cases of substance withdrawal.

• Broom (2019): Reduction in cravings with IV NAD+ injections in addiction.

• Grant (2019): Demonstrated rapid uptake of NAD injections.

• Rutherford (2020): Parkinson’s improvement post-NAD injection.

• Blum (2022): NAD+ with vitamins and amino acids reduced cravings and supported neurorecovery.

We have seen tremendous results using IV NAD for stubborn fatigue in our Edmonton patients especially when all other investigations are unremarkable.

We also consider using NAD injections to improve mood and cognition in patients as well as for neurological concerns. 

NAD+ side effects - NAD Infusions and Injections may cause nausea, headaches, lightheadedness and chest pressure, but these rapidly subside when the infusion is slowed. 

IV Glutathione infusions in Edmonton 

Our infusion clinic has offered Glutathione injections since 2010 - we've given thousands of Glutathione infusions in Edmonton patients.

It is uncommon to see side effects with glutathione injections - most patients tolerate glutathione infusions extremely well and the incidence of adverse effects is very low. 

 

Glutathione infusions are typically added to the end of other IV treatments.

Glutathione injections are often sought out for cosmetic purposes such as skin lightening and skin brightening.

For skin lightening and brightening our naturopaths often use 1-2 weekly Glutathione injections.

For neurological health, our naturopathic doctors may suggest Glutathione injections daily.

Glutathione: Safety and Benefits IV glutathione is well tolerated and safe, even with repeated or high-dose administration. Studies show its benefits for liver support, Parkinson’s disease, and detoxification. In clinical use, we observe significant neurological and antioxidant benefits without adverse effects on liver enzymes, even with frequent dosing.

✨ Glow from the Inside Out with Glutathione IV Therapy in Edmonton

Brighten Your Skin. Boost Your Glow. Detox Like a Pro.

Looking for Glutathione IV therapy or Glutathione injections in Edmonton? You’ve just found your skin’s new best friend.

At TruMed Naturopathic Clinic, we’re serious about helping you glow. Our skin-focused IVs are powered by glutathione—your body’s master antioxidant and natural skin brightener. Whether you're after a radiant complexion, smoother tone, or a little help clearing things up, Glutathione IVs deliver that luminous “I-just-had-a-facial” vibe—from the inside out.

What Is Glutathione & Why Should You Care?

Glutathione is a triple-threat antioxidant made from three amino acids (glutamate, cysteine, and glycine). It’s basically your cells’ personal bodyguard—defending against toxins, free radicals, and inflammation.

Inside your body? It fights oxidative stress and supports detox.
✨ On your skin? It helps fade dark spots and evens out tone by turning down melanin production.

Less dullness. More brightness.
That’s the glutathione effect.

Why Do We Use IV Glutathione?

Because your gut can only do so much. When taken orally, glutathione is mostly broken down before it gets where it needs to go.

With a Glutathione IV, we send it straight into your bloodstream—no detours, no delays. That means more glow, more detox, and more noticeable results.

How It Works: Skin Brightening 101

Here’s the science (made simple):
Glutathione helps block the enzyme tyrosinase, which your body uses to make melanin (the pigment behind dark spots and uneven tone). That inhibition shifts production away from darker pigments (eumelanin) and toward lighter ones (pheomelanin).

Translation? Less hyperpigmentation, brighter skin, smoother tone.

The Glow-Boosting IV Formula

At TruMed, we pair Glutathione IVs with high-dose Vitamin C to maximize antioxidant power and make your results pop.

Step 1: We start with a Vitamin C infusion
Step 2: Follow up with a bag of Glutathione goodness

Our Naturopathic Doctors customize your dose and frequency depending on your skin type and goals. Sessions last around 40 minutes—and yes, you can often start the same day as your consultation.

Real Science. Real Results.

Clinical trials back it up:

• 2012 Study: Glutathione reduced melanin at 6 body sites in just 4 weeks.

• 2017 Study: Glutathione = smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, improved elasticity.

Translation: Not just brighter skin, but better skin.

Give Your Glutathione Some Backup

Want to go all in? We’ve got the nutrient dream team to support your skin between IVs:

✔️ NAC (N-Acetylcysteine): Builds more glutathione
✔️ Vitamin C: Keeps it in action
✔️ B2, B5 & B12: Fuel your cellular detox
✔️ Selenium: Powers your antioxidant enzymes
✔️ Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): A bonus antioxidant that helps regenerate glutathione

We even offer custom oral supplements and topical formulas (hello, niacinamide!) to keep your glow going 24/7.

IV or Injection? You’ve Got Options.

Short on time? Ask about our Glutathione Injections.
They're quick, effective, and a great way to boost in between full IV sessions.

IV Drips, Injections and Infusions in Edmonton - TruMed Infusion Clinic in Edmonton

We offer Edmonton IV Drips

We've given thousands of IV Vitamin Drips at our Edmonton Infusion Clinic.

An IV drip is frequently effective for boosting energy, mood, cognition and immunity.

Our Naturopaths typically suggest IV Drips once weekly typically levels are built up enough after four infusions that patients can pull back to monthly.

An iv drip frequently has rapid effects - most patients feel a boost in energy or mood after their infusion in less than a day

Our naturopaths generally offer extremely concentrated vitamin drips at our Edmonton Clinic - these infusions are small volume, and highly concentrated and given fairly rapidly for the best effects.. 

Most commonly our naturopathic doctors use IV Drips for Fatigue, Migraine, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Upper Respiratory Tract Infections.

Our Naturopaths have administered thousands of IV Drips to our Edmonton patients and the incidence of side effects with these vitamin infusions like the Myers cocktail is extremely low.

Our top IV drip in Edmonton is the Myers Cocktail which is given once weekly for four weeks to provide a prolonged effect with monthly IV drips thereafter

TruMed IV Therapy Infusion Clinic in Edmonton.

Myers Cocktail IV Therapy: Comprehensive Overview

Composition and Evolution of the Myers Cocktail The original Myers Cocktail, developed by Dr. John Myers, was a simple intravenous injection administered via a 10-ml syringe, containing B1, B6, B complex, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and dilute hydrochloric acid. Dr. Alan Gaby later refined the formula, administering it in a 20-ml syringe with 1 ml each of B6, B5, B complex, and B12, alongside 4 ml magnesium, 2 ml calcium, 6 ml vitamin C, and 8 ml sterile water.

At TruMed in Edmonton, Dr. Muradov utilizes a significantly enhanced formulation. The "TruMed Myers" is administered in a 30–100 ml IV bag and contains approximately 50% more B vitamins than the Gaby formulation. It also includes added riboflavin and up to 7.5 times the standard dose of B12. This small-volume IV approximates the hypertonicity of Gaby's original preparation, delivering a potent and clinically effective treatment.

Clinical Applications of the Myers Cocktail According to Dr. Gaby’s case reports, the Myers Cocktail was originally used for a range of conditions including fatigue, migraines, asthma, fibromyalgia, depression, upper respiratory infections, seasonal allergies, narcotic withdrawal, chronic hives,

athletic performance enhancement, hyperthyroidism, and COPD.

At TruMed, our clinical experience confirms the efficacy of the Myers Cocktail in all originally proposed indications. It is especially effective for fatigue, anxiety, depression, and athletic performance. Its ability to elevate nutrient concentrations in the brain makes it a valuable tool for improving mood and mental clarity. Intravenous administration achieves blood levels far beyond what is possible with oral supplementation, facilitating nutrient delivery to neural tissue.

Treatment Cost and Protocol The enhanced TruMed Myers IV treatment is priced at approximately $175 per session. Many patients experience a positive response within 24 hours, although 3 to 4 weekly treatments may be necessary for sustained results.

Research and Efficacy Dr. Alan Gaby’s monograph remains the foundational reference for Myers IV therapy, outlining numerous positive case reports. A 2007 pilot study on fibromyalgia showed decreasing pain and increasing energy over 8 weeks of treatment. A 2009 study corroborated these findings, demonstrating improvements in pain, depression, and quality of life. At our Edmonton clinic, we have observed consistent results aligning with these studies.

Detailed Nutrient Breakdown

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Essential for acetyl-CoA production. Used in fatigue-related conditions and supported by data for neurological recovery, including MS fatigue.

• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Involved in energy production via FMN and FAD coenzymes. IV administration allows for higher dosages than oral forms. Known to aid in migraine prevention and enhance athletic performance.

• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): Precursor to NAD+, vital for energy metabolism and mood regulation. Well tolerated in IV form. Niacinamide increases serotonin precursors, benefiting mood disorders.

• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Integral for coenzyme A synthesis and adrenal hormone production. Particularly helpful in fatigue, adrenal support, and constipation.

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Administered as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride or P5P. Useful in neurological health, immune response, and hormone regulation. Important in mood-related therapies.

• Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin): Crucial for nerve health, energy, and mood. Effective in treating peripheral neuropathies and depressive symptoms.

• Magnesium: A cofactor in over 300 biochemical reactions. IV magnesium significantly elevates serum levels, supporting ATP activity and benefiting fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome

Iron Infusions in Edmonton

TruMed has been offering Edmonton IV therapy for over 15 years.

In 2025, through our nurse practitioner, our office in Edmonton added Iron Infusions to our suite of IV therapy treatments.

When given intravenously, these treatments can dramatically increase ferritin levels (which is a measure of iron storage) - after a single infusion the ferritin can rise by up to 200 points.

We are one of the only private providers of Iron Infusions in Edmonton.

It takes about 60 minutes to administer an average Iron Infusion.

Iron IV therapy can have side effects but our staff takes extreme precautions to ensure a smooth experience for all of our patients.

In about 5% of patients, a flushing reaction or Fishbane reaction is experienced with chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and back tightness or back pain. Typically the infusion is stopped for a 10-minute monitoring period and then resumed once the symptoms subside.

There is a .002 and .004% risk of anaphylaxis depending on the type of Intravenous Iron given.

Following an Iron transfusion there can be a range of " hypersensitivity reactions" anywhere from immediately after the IV up to 3 to 4 days after: urticaria, rashes, joint swelling, joint pain, fever, flu-like symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation as well as muscle pain and cramping. 

Most patients find this range of side effects with intravenous iron acceptable for the dramatic benefits in Iron storage.

After your Iron Infusion, you will be sent for blood work - it is important to not test anywhere less than 4 to 6 weeks after the IV - otherwise you will see falsely high levels.

Most patients will only require one or to iron infusions in order to restore their levels.

Our Nurse Practitioner on staff will evaluate your case and can prescribe the Iron Infusion for you.
