Iron Therapy FAQ

How does iron therapy work? 

Iron therapy has unique mechanisms for absorption and distribution.


In office iron therapy, bypasses the digestive tract and provide clinically relevant doses.


An iron-carbohydrate complex is taken up by macrophages and iron is then released and either stored as part of the protein ferritin or transported (by transferrin) to various cells.


What does iron therapy cost? 

Costs of iron vary depending on doses used - often times between $300 to $600.


Many patients are able to receive reimbursement through their benefits for the cost of the iron.

Treatment fee is $265 - you'll have a dedicated nurse supervised by our Nurse Practitioner.


Do I need a consultation before receiving iron? 

Yes, you need a consultation prior.

But don't worry, your initial iron therapy consultation is complimentary.


This consultation takes about 15 minutes, and we can usually get you in to do one within about a week.


How long does it take to get in for an iron treatment?

We can usually get you in for a treatment within one to two weeks.

This can be booked as soon as you have completed your iron consultation.


How often does someone need treatment? 

How often someone needs iron treatment depends on initial ferritin and hemoglobin.

After initial treatment, you will be provided a requisition for testing approximately 4 weeks later. 


Most commonly, patients require one or two treatments within about a month of each other.


Often times, a single treatment can raise ferritin levels between 80 to 100 (µg/L).


How safe is iron therapy? 

By using well established doses, dilutions and rates, it's remarkably safe.


In about 5% of patients the following can be seen: flushing, headache, flu-like symptoms, rashes, joint pain or joint swelling, muscle pain or muscle cramping, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation.


The incidence of anaphylaxis is about .004% or 1 in 25,000 iron treatments.

Iron Therapy

We have significant experience working with iron therapy

Iron deficiency can affect energy, mood, focus and more!

We have numerous options for iron therapy

Let's dive into all things iron.


All About Iron

Iron Biochemistry

Many know it's a component of hemoglobin, and is therefore essential for the delivery of oxygen.


It's part of cytochromes in the electron-transport chain and plays a role in mitochondrial energy production.

Iron is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormone.


It's also needed for the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine.


Lastly, iron plays a role in immune function.


Because of its above roles, we always screen our Edmonton patients with fatigue for iron deficiency.


Iron Absorption

Heme iron (found in meat, poultry, and fish) is well absorbed, a 15–35% absorption rate.


Nonheme iron (from plant foods and in supplements) has 2–20% absorption. 


Also, nonheme iron is inhibited by substances in plant foods like phytates and polyphenols.


Vitamin C enhances the absorption of nonheme iron.


Stomach acid is needed to transform ferric (Fe2+) iron to ferrous (Fe3+) iron.


We work with a number of highly absorbable forms of iron therapy at our Edmonton office.



Iron Deficiency Symptoms

Fatigue

Decreased aerobic capacity

Muscle fatigue

Impaired concentration

Mood disturbances

Hair loss

Restless legs

Heavy menses

Impaired immunity

Cold intolerance


Measuring Iron Levels

No one test provides perfectly reliable information about iron status.


In most cases, a combination of tests gives a more accurate picture than does any single test.


Ferritin levels are the main measurement we use for iron status.


Serum iron (as well as saturation index and TIBC) are also helpful.


Complete blood count (with attention to hemoglobin and MCV) are also beneficial.


The practitioners at TruMed work with all of these tests but rely mostly on ferritin levels.


Iron Deficiency Therapy

Most patients are treated with OTC irοո because it is generally effective, and inexpensive.


However, up to 70 percent of patients report gastrointestinal side effects from standard iron.

In our Edmonton patients we frequently see regular iron ineffective in rectifying low levels.


Our practitioners will discuss what iron options are most suitable for your case.

Iron Infusions in Edmonton

Iron Infusion Content - medically reviewed by Olga Muradov NP

TruMed has been proudly offering IV therapy in Edmonton since 2010 and iron infusions since 2024!

The Process for Getting an Iron Infusion in Edmonton at TruMed

If you are searching for iron infusions in Edmonton, IV iron therapy in Edmonton, or treatment for iron deficiency anemia, understanding the process can help you feel confident about what to expect.


At TruMed, our Edmonton iron infusion program provides a safe, convenient, and medically supervised approach to intravenous iron replacement. Every patient begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine whether an iron infusion is appropriate based on symptoms, laboratory results, medical history, and individual health goals.


Unlike oral iron supplements, which may take months to replenish iron stores and are not tolerated by everyone, intravenous iron therapy delivers iron directly into the bloodstream, allowing the body to restore iron levels more efficiently.

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment Before Your Iron Infusion in Edmonton

Before receiving an iron infusion in Edmonton, every patient undergoes a detailed clinical assessment with our Nurse Practitioner.

The purpose of this consultation is to determine:

  • Whether iron deficiency is present
  • Whether intravenous iron replacement is appropriate
  • The severity of iron deficiency
  • The most appropriate type and dose of iron therapy
  • Whether other causes of fatigue or low energy should be investigated

We review factors including:

  • Symptoms
  • Medical history
  • Previous iron supplementation
  • Tolerance to oral iron
  • Menstrual history when relevant
  • Dietary factors
  • Previous blood work
  • Ferritin levels
  • Hemoglobin levels
  • Iron studies

Common symptoms associated with iron deficiency may include:

  • Persistent fatigue
  • Low energy
  • Brain fog
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Reduced exercise tolerance
  • Shortness of breath with activity
  • Hair shedding
  • Weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Restless legs

Many patients searching for iron infusion clinics in Edmonton have already tried oral iron supplements but experienced side effects such as constipation, nausea, abdominal discomfort, or inadequate improvement in iron levels.

Step 2: Prescription and Preparation for Your IV Iron Treatment

If intravenous iron therapy is determined to be appropriate, the prescription is completed by our Nurse Practitioner.

The prescribed iron medication is obtained through a trusted local pharmacy and delivered directly to our Edmonton clinic for administration.

This process ensures:

  • Proper medication sourcing
  • Appropriate dosing
  • Accurate preparation
  • Medical oversight throughout treatment

At TruMed, our goal is to make the process of receiving an iron infusion in Edmonton as convenient and streamlined as possible while maintaining a high standard of safety.

Step 3: Receiving Your Iron Infusion at Our Edmonton Clinic

The entire appointment typically takes approximately two hours.

Our team carefully monitors every stage of the infusion process.

IV Setup and Preparation – Approximately 30 Minutes

Before beginning the infusion, our medical team takes time to ensure the IV is placed correctly and securely.

Proper IV placement is extremely important with intravenous iron because certain iron medications can cause skin staining if they leak outside the vein (known as infiltration or extravasation).

Our team takes additional precautions to:

  • Confirm proper vein placement
  • Ensure the IV is functioning correctly
  • Monitor the infusion site closely
  • Reduce the risk of complications

Patient comfort and safety are our priorities throughout the procedure.

Step 4: Iron Infusion Administration – Approximately 60 Minutes

The infusion itself typically takes approximately one hour, depending on the specific iron formulation prescribed.

At TruMed, iron infusions are administered under medical supervision by trained healthcare professionals.

Common intravenous iron medications include:

Venofer® (Iron Sucrose)

Venofer iron infusions often require multiple treatment sessions because smaller doses are administered over several appointments.

The number of infusions required depends on:

  • Degree of iron deficiency
  • Iron requirements
  • Laboratory results
  • Clinical response

Monoferric® (Ferric Derisomaltose)

Monoferric iron infusions are often administered as a larger single-dose treatment, allowing many patients to complete iron replacement with one infusion.

The appropriate medication and dosing strategy depends on your individual needs and laboratory findings.

Step 5: Observation Following Your Iron Infusion

After completing your IV iron infusion in Edmonton, patients remain at the clinic for approximately 30 minutes of observation.

This allows our team to monitor for any immediate reactions and ensure you are feeling well before leaving.

Having experienced medical staff onsite provides reassurance that any unexpected symptoms can be addressed promptly.

Our Nurse Practitioner remains available onsite to manage any adverse reactions in real time should they occur.

What Happens After an Iron Infusion?

Following treatment, iron levels continue to improve gradually as your body uses the newly available iron to produce healthy red blood cells and replenish iron stores.

Most patients undergo repeat blood testing approximately 4 weeks after their infusion to evaluate response.

Follow-up testing may include:

  • Ferritin
  • Hemoglobin
  • Iron studies
  • Complete blood count

These results help determine whether iron levels have improved adequately or whether additional treatment may be beneficial.

Are There Side Effects After an Iron Infusion?

Like any medical treatment, iron infusions can occasionally cause side effects, although many patients tolerate treatment very well.

Side effects can occur during the infusion or may appear within the first several days following treatment.

Possible side effects may include:

  • Temporary fatigue
  • Headache
  • Muscle aches
  • Joint discomfort
  • Nausea
  • Mild flu-like symptoms
  • Temporary changes in taste
  • Dizziness

In most cases, these effects are mild and self-limited, resolving without intervention.

Because reactions can occasionally occur after leaving the clinic, patients are provided with appropriate guidance about what symptoms to monitor and when to contact our office.

Whether you are searching for iron infusions Edmonton, IV iron therapy Edmonton, iron deficiency treatment Edmonton, or iron transfusions Edmonton, TruMed provides a safe and personalized approach to restoring healthy iron levels.

Our goal is to help patients improve energy, support optimal health, and address iron deficiency through evidence-informed intravenous iron therapy.



In 2025, we added Iron Infusions to our suite of IV therapy options for our Edmonton patients.

Some patients refer to this as an iron transfusion - but it's actually an iron infusion.

IV Iron can dramatically increase ferritin levels - it is common to see ferritin rise by 100 to 200 points after single infusion.

When giving Iron IVs - our staff takes extreme precautions to ensure maximum safety and tolerance.

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

An average Iron Infusion takes about 60 minutes to administer.

There are two types of iron transfusions that are available in Canada and therefore Edmonton

These Irons used for infusion differ from iron for oral consumption which is generally bound to another substance "chelates". Iron suitable for intravenous injection is a iron hydroxide core with an envelope formed by iron–carbohydrate particles. These two types of IV Iron differ depending on their molecular weight.

Iron injections Edmonton.

At our Edmonton office, we offer both types of Irons for infusion.

Generally speaking, Mono Ferric is preferred because the dose per infusion is much higher than Ven ofer. So most of what we inject at our office is Mono ferric Iron.

Mono ferric is the most commonly administered injectable iron. Veno fer in Canada is almost exclusively used in pregnancy. 

Products differ from each other by the size of their core and the identity and density of
the surrounding carbohydrates. Carbohydrates stabilize the gel, slow the release of iron
and maintain the resulting particles in colloid suspension.

Although the impact on Iron levels can be quite dramatic there are some potential side effects to Iron IV Therapy.

In about 5% of patients, a flushing reaction is experienced with chest tightness, shortness of breath and back tightness. Although this tends to dissipate is slowed down.

There is a small risk of anaphylaxis with Iron IV Therapy: between .002 and .004% depending on the type of Intravenous Iron given.

IV Iron can also have a range of delayed side effects such as: hives, rashes, joint swelling, joint pain, fever, flu-like symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation as well as muscle pain and cramping. Although we have not seen much of this in most of our patients at our Edmonton office we still like to let patients know that it is possible to experience these things when getting an Iron IV.

Generally speaking, we dose IV Iron (mono ferric) at 500-1000mg per dose based off of your original ferritin level as well as hemoglobin level. For iron infusions, we use the Ganzoni formula to choose the dose range for our Edmonton patients.

We do not do Iron Infusions in patients with Thalassemia unless there is a documented low ferritin as well as males under the age of 18.

It is important not to dislodge the IV, as IV Iron can stain the skin permanently.

After an Iron Infusion, you will be sent for blood work in about 4 to 6 weeks. 

Most patients will only require one to two IV Iron treatments using a preparation of Intravenous Iron called Mono ferric.

Pregnant women can also do Intravenous Iron - the dose is typically spread out over a handful of treatments using the type of iron called Ven ofer.

You do not require a prescription for Intravenous Iron to be able to get an infusion at our office in Edmonton. Our Nurse Practitioner on staff will evaluate your case and can prescribe the Iron Infusion for you.

Iron Therapy FAQ

Iron Infusions in Edmonton – Your Questions Answered

Thinking about booking an iron infusion in Edmonton? You’ve come to the right place. At our IV therapy clinic, we specialize in delivering advanced nutrient therapies — and iron infusions are one of our most in-demand treatments. Here’s everything you need to know:

How Do Iron Infusions Work?

Great question — let’s get a little science-y. Unlike iron pills that have to pass through your gut (and can often cause digestive issues), IV iron infusions skip the stomach entirely. That means better absorption, faster results, and no gastrointestinal drama.

Here’s the breakdown: We use an iron–carbohydrate complex that’s delivered directly into your bloodstream. Once there, specialized immune cells called macrophages grab the complex, break it down, and release the iron.

That iron is either:

  • Stored as ferritin, your body’s iron reserve, or

  • Shuttled around by transferrin, a protein taxi that delivers iron to your bone marrow and other tissues that need it.

It’s efficient, targeted, and clinically effective — which is why it’s our go-to solution for iron deficiency anemia.

What Do Iron Infusions Cost in Edmonton?

The total cost of the actual iron can range from $300 to $600, depending on the dose and type of iron used.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Iron infusion fee: $265 — this includes your session with a dedicated nurse under the supervision of our Nurse Practitioner.

  • Iron product cost: Varies by type and dosage, which we’ll determine based on your lab work.

Pro Tip: Many insurance plans and health benefits will cover part (or all!) of the cost of the iron itself — we’ll help guide you through the process.

Do I Need a Consultation First?

Yes — but it’s quick and easy!

Before your iron IV therapy, we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation at our Edmonton clinic. We’ll review your bloodwork (typically ferritin, hemoglobin, and CBC), determine if you’re a good candidate, and choose the right iron type and dose for you.

Most patients can book this consultation within a week.

How Soon Can I Get an Iron Infusion?

We get it — when you're low in iron, you want to feel better fast.

At our Edmonton IV clinic, we can typically schedule your iron infusion within 1 to 2 weeks of your consultation. We aim for efficiency without cutting corners on safety or care.

How Often Do I Need an Iron Infusion?

It depends on your levels! We base your treatment plan on your ferritin and hemoglobin at baseline.

  • Most patients require 1 to 2 iron infusions, usually spaced about a month apart.

  • One infusion can often raise your ferritin by 80–100 µg/L — a big win for your energy and overall health.

After your initial treatment, we’ll send you for follow-up bloodwork about 4 weeks later to monitor your response and determine if more iron is needed.

Are Iron Infusions Safe?

Absolutely — when done properly, iron infusions are very safe.

At our clinic in Edmonton, we use carefully calculated doses, proper dilutions, and slow infusion rates to minimize side effects. Most people feel great after their session, but a small percentage (about 5%) might experience:

  • Headache or flushing

  • Mild flu-like symptoms

  • Joint or muscle aches

  • Upset stomach or mild digestive changes

  • Temporary rash or skin irritation

Severe reactions like anaphylaxis are extremely rare — roughly 1 in 25,000 infusions (0.004%). We’re fully equipped to monitor and manage any response during your visit.

IV Therapy in Edmonton – A Direct Path to Nutrient Repletion

IV therapy is not simply about hydration—it is a clinical intervention that allows physicians to correct deficiencies, restore cellular function, and improve metabolic resilience using high doses of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants delivered directly into the bloodstream.


When nutrients are administered intravenously, they bypass the gastrointestinal tract, which can often be compromised due to malabsorption, inflammation, or chronic illness. Unlike oral supplements—where absorption may be limited to 20–50% depending on digestive health—IV delivery ensures 100% bioavailability of active compounds.


This makes IV therapy the most efficient method for nutrient repletion, especially for individuals with advanced deficiencies, high metabolic demands, or chronic fatigue.


IV therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. At TruMed, some patients benefit from a single infusion, while others follow structured protocols involving weekly IV treatments for 4–6 weeks, with maintenance drips as needed. This cumulative approach supports sustained biochemical changes and long-term improvements in health.


IV Therapy, Vitamin Drips in Edmonton


Patients often undergo a series of weekly IV treatments, as research and clinical experience show that cumulative dosing enhances long-term benefits. Many treatments are also paired—such as Vitamin Drips with Glutathione pushes—for synergistic effects.

Advanced Infusion Medicine at TruMed Naturopathic Clinic

At TruMed in Edmonton, we specialize in IV therapy, vitamin drips, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and iron infusions.


Our treatments are designed with precision—delivering bioavailable nutrients directly into the bloodstream for rapid, reliable results.


With over 15,000 IV treatments administered since 2010, our clinic is one of Alberta’s most experienced providers of advanced infusion medicine

Iron Infusions, Injections & “Iron Transfusions” in Edmonton

Our clinic provides medically supervised iron infusions in Edmonton for patients with laboratory-confirmed iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia. Many individuals search for iron injections in Edmonton or “iron transfusions in Edmonton,” but in outpatient medical practice the appropriate therapy is typically an intravenous (IV) iron infusion, which delivers a calculated dose of iron directly into circulation for controlled replenishment of ferritin and hemoglobin.


Iron is a critical micronutrient involved in oxygen transport, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter production, thyroid hormone metabolism, immune regulation, and skeletal muscle function. When ferritin levels decline—even in the absence of severe anemia—multi-system symptoms can emerge due to impaired cellular respiration and reduced oxygen delivery.


IV Iron for Fatigue

If you're exhausted all the time, it may not simply be a matter of needing more sleep. Learn more about fatigue and how our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors investigate iron deficiency and other potential causes of low energy. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional contributors to fatigue, and it can occur even before anemia develops. At TruMed, laboratory testing helps determine whether iron stores are actually depleted and whether IV iron infusions may be appropriate. For patients who cannot tolerate oral iron, do not absorb it adequately, or need more efficient iron replacement, an IV iron infusion can restore iron stores without relying on the digestive tract. If you've tried iron tablets and your stomach has declared war, IV iron may be worth discussing with a Naturopath Edmonton patients can see for comprehensive assessment.

IV Iron for Women's Health

Women are particularly susceptible to iron deficiency because of menstrual blood loss, pregnancy and increased nutritional demands. Heavy periods can quietly drain iron stores month after month, leaving women feeling tired, weak, foggy or short of breath with exercise. Explore our women's health approach to understand how heavy menstrual bleeding, hormones, nutrition and iron status can all fit together. At TruMed, our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors assess iron studies and the underlying reason for deficiency before recommending iron replacement. Depending on the degree of deficiency and individual circumstances, treatment may involve oral iron, iron injections or IV iron infusions. For women who cannot tolerate oral iron or need more substantial replacement, IV iron can be an efficient way to replenish iron stores.

IV Iron for Hormonal Health

Hormonal changes and iron deficiency frequently overlap, particularly in women experiencing heavy menstrual periods, postpartum changes or other reproductive transitions. Learn more about our approach to hormone health and how iron status can be an important—and sometimes overlooked—piece of the puzzle. Low iron can contribute to fatigue, poor concentration, reduced exercise tolerance and feeling generally run down, symptoms that can easily be attributed to hormones alone. Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton can assess iron stores alongside relevant hormone and thyroid testing. When iron deficiency is confirmed, IV iron therapy may be considered when oral iron is ineffective, poorly tolerated or insufficient to restore iron levels.

IV Iron for Digestive Concerns

Sometimes the problem isn't that you're not taking enough iron—it's that your digestive system isn't particularly interested in absorbing it. Conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract can interfere with iron absorption, while oral iron itself can cause constipation, nausea, abdominal discomfort and other digestive complaints. Learn more about our approach to digestive concerns and how iron deficiency and gastrointestinal health can intersect. For appropriate patients, IV iron infusions bypass the gastrointestinal tract and deliver iron directly into the bloodstream, making them an important option when oral iron is poorly tolerated or absorption is compromised. Your Edmonton Naturopathic Doctor can also investigate why iron deficiency is occurring rather than simply replacing the iron and calling it a day.

IV Iron for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health

Feeling exhausted while trying to lose weight is a particularly lousy combination. Iron deficiency can reduce energy and exercise tolerance, making it harder to stay active and maintain healthy lifestyle changes. Explore our weight-loss approach to see why iron status, thyroid function, hormones and nutrition can all matter when you're trying to improve metabolic health. IV iron is not a weight-loss treatment, but correcting genuine iron deficiency may help address fatigue and reduced exercise capacity when low iron is part of the problem. Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton can assess iron stores and determine whether oral iron, iron injections or IV iron infusion therapy is appropriate.

IV Iron for Thyroid Concerns

Thyroid symptoms and iron deficiency can look remarkably similar: fatigue, brain fog, weakness, reduced exercise tolerance and simply feeling like your usual energy has disappeared. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to thyroid health and why checking iron status can be an important part of the investigation. Iron also plays a role in normal thyroid hormone production and metabolism, making adequate iron stores important for thyroid health. At TruMed, thyroid concerns can be assessed alongside ferritin and other iron studies when clinically appropriate. If iron deficiency is confirmed, an IV iron infusion may be considered when oral supplementation isn't tolerated, isn't adequately absorbed or isn't restoring iron stores.

IV Iron for Skin Health

Your skin may be the last place you expect to find a clue about iron deficiency, but low iron can be associated with changes in hair, nails and overall skin health. Learn more about our approach to skin health and how nutritional status—including iron—can influence the health and appearance of your skin, hair and nails. Iron deficiency can contribute to hair shedding and brittle nails, particularly when iron stores have become significantly depleted. Our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors can assess iron status and other nutritional factors before recommending treatment. Where iron replacement is indicated, options may include oral iron, iron injections or IV iron therapy, depending on the individual's needs and ability to tolerate oral supplementation.

IV Iron for Mood & Brain Fog

When your brain feels like it has forgotten how to function before your second cup of coffee, iron deficiency is worth considering. Iron is involved in oxygen transport and numerous processes important to normal neurological function, and depleted iron stores can be associated with fatigue, difficulty concentrating and reduced mental energy. Learn more about our approach to mood and brain fog and the nutritional factors that may be contributing to how you're feeling. Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton can investigate iron status alongside other potential contributors such as thyroid function, hormones, sleep and nutritional deficiencies. When iron deficiency is confirmed, IV iron infusion therapy may provide an alternative to oral iron for patients who cannot tolerate it or are not adequately responding to it.

IV Iron for Autoimmune Conditions

People living with autoimmune conditions can be particularly vulnerable to fatigue and nutritional deficiencies, and iron deficiency may add another layer to an already complicated picture. Explore our  autoimmune care approach and how identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies can form part of a broader treatment strategy. Chronic inflammation, menstrual blood loss, dietary restrictions and gastrointestinal issues can all contribute to low iron. Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton can evaluate iron studies and determine whether iron replacement is appropriate. When oral iron is poorly tolerated or inadequate, an IV iron infusion can provide an alternative route for restoring iron stores. Iron therapy does not treat the underlying autoimmune disease itself, but correcting a documented deficiency can address one potentially modifiable contributor to fatigue.

IV Iron for Fertility

Iron status matters before and during the reproductive years, particularly for women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding or enter pregnancy with depleted iron stores. Learn more about our fertility approach and how iron, thyroid function, hormones and nutritional status can be assessed when preparing for pregnancy. Iron deficiency can contribute to fatigue and may become more significant as iron requirements increase during pregnancy. Depending on laboratory results and individual circumstances, iron replacement may involve oral iron or, when clinically appropriate, IV iron infusion therapy. Fertility and pregnancy require additional safety considerations, so intravenous iron is recommended selectively and based on an individualized clinical assessment.

IV Iron for Brain Injury & Concussion

Fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance can be frustrating parts of concussion and brain injury recovery—and low iron can potentially make those symptoms even harder to manage. Learn more about our approach to concussion and brain injury and how nutritional factors such as iron status can be incorporated into a broader recovery assessment. Iron is essential for oxygen transport and normal cellular function, so identifying an iron deficiency is worthwhile when persistent fatigue or reduced stamina is present. Our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors can assess iron stores and determine whether supplementation is appropriate. For patients with confirmed deficiency who cannot tolerate or adequately absorb oral iron, IV iron therapy may be considered as part of supportive care.

IV Iron for Cancer Support

Iron deficiency and anemia can occur in people undergoing cancer treatment for a variety of reasons, including blood loss, nutritional factors, inflammation and treatment-related effects. Learn more about our supportive cancer-care approach and how nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency may be assessed alongside conventional oncology care. When iron deficiency is confirmed, iron replacement may be considered depending on the patient's diagnosis, laboratory findings and oncology treatment plan. Options can include oral iron, iron injections or IV iron infusions, with intravenous replacement sometimes preferred when oral iron is ineffective or poorly tolerated. Cancer patients require particularly careful coordination with their oncology team, and iron replacement should be individualized rather than automatically prescribed.

IV Iron for Multiple Sclerosis

Fatigue is one of the most frustrating symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis, but not every bit of MS-related fatigue is necessarily caused by MS itself. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to Multiple Sclerosis and how we look for potentially modifiable contributors to fatigue, including iron deficiency. Low iron can contribute to tiredness, weakness and reduced exercise tolerance, potentially adding to the burden of neurological fatigue. At TruMed, our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors can assess iron status when appropriate and recommend iron replacement when deficiency is confirmed. IV iron infusions may be an option for patients who cannot tolerate oral iron or need more effective iron replacement. Correcting iron deficiency does not treat MS itself, but it may address an additional factor contributing to fatigue.

IV Iron for Pediatrics

Children need iron for normal growth, development, energy and neurological function, making iron deficiency an important nutritional concern. Learn more about our pediatric approach and how we evaluate nutritional and iron status before considering intravenous treatment. Pediatric iron deficiency should be properly investigated rather than simply assuming that tiredness or dietary issues mean a child needs an infusion. Oral iron is generally considered first-line in many situations, while IV iron may be considered in selected cases when oral therapy is not tolerated, ineffective or otherwise unsuitable. Iron injections and infusions in children require careful assessment and appropriate dosing, and our Edmonton Naturopathic Doctors take a conservative, individualized approach to pediatric iron replacement.

IV Iron for Long COVID

For some people, COVID may be over but the fatigue didn't get the memo. Persistent exhaustion, reduced exercise tolerance and brain fog are common complaints following COVID-19, and iron deficiency can be one of several potentially modifiable contributors. Learn more about our naturopathic approach to Long COVID and how nutritional factors such as iron status can be investigated as part of a broader recovery plan. Our Naturopathic Doctors in Edmonton can assess ferritin and other iron markers when clinically appropriate. If iron deficiency is identified, treatment may involve oral iron, iron injections or IV iron infusion therapy, depending on the severity of deficiency, tolerance and individual circumstances. IV iron is not a treatment for Long COVID itself, but correcting a genuine iron deficiency may help remove one potential contributor to persistent fatigue.


Vitamin Drips & IV Cocktails

Complimenting iron infusions, we offer Vitamin drips—sometimes called Vitamin drips or IV Vitamin Cocktails—are one of the most requested therapies at our infusion clinic. These treatments provide a concentrated combination of B-vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin C to rapidly correct deficiencies and restore metabolic function.


At TruMed, we have developed enhanced versions of the classic Myers’ Cocktail, with higher nutrient concentrations than are typically offered elsewhere. This allows for more noticeable effects in energy, stress resilience, and recovery.

NAD+ IV Therapy and Injections in Edmonton

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most essential coenzymes in human metabolism. It drives ATP production in mitochondria, regulates cellular repair, and supports neurochemical balance.

At TruMed, we have offered NAD+ IV therapy and injections in Edmonton since 2015, delivering thousands of treatments for fatigue, cognitive support, and anti-aging medicine.


NAD Infusions are often combined with B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids to enhance synergistic metabolic pathways. Because NAD+ is rapidly metabolized, IV therapy provides far more effective replenishment compared to oral or sublingual supplements.


Glutathione IV Therapy in Edmonton


Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, regulating detoxification, oxidative stress, and skin health. At TruMed, we have administered thousands of Glutathione drips and injections since 2010.


Glutathione drips are often short, administered over 5–15 minutes, and can be paired with vitamin cocktails for enhanced efficacy.
