Iron IV Therapy

This quick, efficient treatment delivers a powerful dose of iron straight to your bloodstream, giving you the revitalizing lift you need without the hassle of oral supplements. Ideal for tackling iron deficiency fast, so you can feel your best and get back to doing what you love.

What is Iron IV Therapy?

Iron IV therapy delivers iron directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. This allows for faster absorption and more effective replenishment compared to oral supplements—especially for those who have difficulty tolerating or absorbing iron.

Low iron can leave you feeling exhausted, foggy, short of breath, or struggling to keep up with daily life. At Oak Integrative, our medically supervised iron infusions are designed to safely and efficiently administer iron stores – so you can feel like yourself again.

Who are Iron Infusions For?

Iron infusions may be recommended if you:

  • Have iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia

  • Cannot tolerate oral iron supplements

  • Have ongoing fatigue, dizziness, headaches, or brain fog

  • Have absorption issues or chronic blood loss

Assessment required. Not all patients are candidates

What to Expect

Your iron infusion begins with a naturopathic assessment and review of your lab work to determine if is appropriate and to personalize your dosing. If recommended, your iron IV will be administered in a calm, clinical setting by our experienced medical team, with careful monitoring throughout your visit to ensure comfort and safety.

How Long Does An Iron IV Treatment Take?

Your appointment will typically last between 70 to 90 minutes. For a comfortable experience, we recommend dressing in cozy clothes, bringing a bottle of water, and maybe even a book to pass the time!

Are Iron IV Treatment Covered By Extended Health Benefits?

Your iron prescription may be partially or fully covered by your pharmacy extended health plan, and the infusion appointment itself is typically covered under your naturopathic extended health benefits.

What Will I Need To Get Started?

An updated ferritin test result, no older than three months, is necessary for your iron infusion appointment. This ensures we have the most current information on your iron levels to provide the most effective treatment. Our naturopathic doctors can help with a test requisition for about $40, which will be an out-of-pocket expense.

Is Everyone Eligible For Iron IV Therapy?

To be eligible for an iron infusion, you need to have iron deficiency or suboptimal ferritin levels, with an updated ferritin test result from the past three months. Additionally, this treatment is available for females in their second or third trimester. Schedule a consultation to find out more!

Ready For The Next Step?

We start off with a quick 15-minute phone consultation to determine and prescribe the right iron dosage for you. The pharmacy will then reach out directly to discuss coverage options. Once your prescription is ready, our team will handle the pickup for you and give you a call to schedule your appointment. Finally, you’ll have a 90-minute session for the infusion, ensuring everything is set up perfectly and you receive the highest level of care.
