IV Nutrient Therapy Menu
Full bioavailability, bypassing first-pass metabolism.
Oral supplementation works well for the basics — daily multivitamin, magnesium glycinate, omega-3s. For molecules that are poorly absorbed, broken down in stomach acid, cleared rapidly by the liver, or required at supraphysiologic concentrations to produce therapeutic effect, the oral route reaches a ceiling well below what the cellular target needs. Vitamin C absorption from the gut plateaus around 200 mg per dose; therapeutic antioxidant infusion uses 10-25 g. Glutathione is destroyed in stomach acid; IV delivers intact tripeptide. NAD+ tissue uptake from oral precursors takes 4-8 weeks; IV pushes serum levels up by orders of magnitude within minutes. Each session runs 30-90 minutes in a private suite under physician supervision, with vital-sign monitoring during the infusion and a brief observation period afterward. Most members structure IV sessions around real events — seasonal change, post-illness recovery, jet lag from international travel, pre-event cognitive loading, post-procedure healing.
Six core formulas plus custom options.
Our menu is anchored by six formulas, each with a defined indication and a personalized dose range. Immune No.1 (Vit C + Zn + B complex, 45-60 min) — seasonal immune support and post-illness pickup. Immune No.2 / Plaquex IV (phosphatidylcholine 250-500 mg, 60-90 min) — entry tier of the PC Membrane Therapy protocol. Glutathione brightening (high-concentration reduced glutathione, 30-45 min) — liver-detox support and skin radiance after intensive periods. High-dose vitamin C (10-25 g, 60-90 min) — antioxidant loading, administered only after G6PD screening to prevent hemolysis in deficient individuals. The Myers cocktail (Mg + Ca + B complex + Vit C, 30-45 min) — the classic blend for energy, hydration, hangover, and jet-lag recovery. NAD+ IV (500-1,000 mg, 2-4 hour slow drip) — see the dedicated NAD+ page for the two-track plan. Custom formulations are built from these primitives based on your labs.
Private, monitored, and physician-led from intake to discharge.
Every session begins with a brief vital-sign check and confirmation of the formula against your baseline panel. The IV access is placed by a trained nurse; you settle into a reclining cream lounge chair in a private suite with linen curtains, a side table, and a kettle. The infusion runs at a rate calibrated to the formula — fast for the Myers, slow for high-dose vitamin C and NAD+. We monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and infusion site throughout. Before each new formula goes into the rotation, the supervising physician confirms contraindications: G6PD deficiency before high-dose C, severe sulfa allergy before specific compounds, cardiac or renal limitations for high-volume infusions, methylation status before NAD+ loading. The IV suite is not a drop-in service — every infusion is a documented medical encounter with a clinical note and a follow-up plan.

Frequently Asked
What is Immune No.2, and how does it relate to PC Membrane Therapy?
Immune No.2 is Plaquex IV — phosphatidylcholine 250-500 mg infused over 60-90 minutes. It is the entry tier of PC Membrane Therapy, replenishing and supporting the membrane phospholipid layer that aging cells progressively lose. The full PC Membrane protocol layers customized scheduling, lipid-metabolism monitoring, and multidisciplinary clinical review on top — see the dedicated PC Membrane Therapy page.
What is required before the first session?
We run a baseline panel — CBC, comprehensive metabolic, liver, kidney, lipid, B12 / folate — and add G6PD screening whenever high-dose vitamin C is on the table to prevent hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals. Dr. Jiang reviews contraindications and matches the formula. For NAD+ first-time recipients, we add an ECG and methylation panel.
How often should I come for IV therapy?
It depends on the formula and your goals. The Myers cocktail and Immune No.1 are often used as-needed — before travel, around seasonal change, after illness. Glutathione is commonly scheduled monthly during intensive seasons. Phosphatidylcholine and NAD+ follow program-specific calendars (4-8 sessions in the loading phase, then maintenance). We do not encourage routine weekly infusion of every formula — that pattern usually reflects a lack of plan, not a healthier physiology.
How long does an IV session take?
30-90 minutes for most formulas. The Myers cocktail is fastest (30-45 min); Immune No.1 and glutathione run 45-60 min; high-dose vitamin C and Plaquex run 60-90 min; NAD+ is a slow drip at 2-4 hours. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early for vitals and depart 10-15 minutes after for observation.
Will it sting or feel cold?
Most formulas are warmed and infuse comfortably. Magnesium can feel warm spreading from the IV site; high-dose vitamin C sometimes produces a mild metallic taste mid-infusion. The IV-suite team is experienced — most members get used to the sensation within the first session.
Is it covered by insurance?
No. IV therapy is an elective wellness service, paid privately. Itemized physician receipts are provided for employer health-spending accounts (HSA), extended-health benefits, and the CRA Medical Expense Tax Credit where applicable.
