IV Therapy in Edmonton: What NAD+, Glutathione, and Vitamin Drips Actually Do

Edmonton has no shortage of IV lounges. What’s harder to find is a clinic where the person choosing your drip actually understands your health history — not just reading off a laminated menu.

IV Therapy in Edmonton: What NAD+, Glutathione, and Vitamin Drips Actually Do

At CareMed Wellness Clinic, every IV therapy plan starts with a real conversation about what you’re trying to solve, delivered by our Registered Nurse team.

The Most Requested IV Therapies — And What They’re Actually For

  • NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
    A coenzyme essential to how your cells produce energy and repair DNA. NAD+ levels decline naturally with age and stress. Clients use NAD+ IV therapy for cognitive clarity, energy, and recovery support — it’s one of the most researched compounds in the longevity space.
  • Glutathione
    Often called the body’s “master antioxidant.” Glutathione supports liver detoxification, reduces oxidative stress, and is popular for skin clarity and overall cellular protection.
  • Vitamin C
    High-dose Vitamin C supports immune function and collagen production — useful both for illness recovery and as part of a skin and aging-focused protocol.
  • Hydration & Immunity Boost
    For when your body just needs fast, direct rehydration and a nutrient reset — popular before or after travel, illness, or physical exertion.
  • Build-Your-Own IV
    Not every body needs the same formula. Our clinical team can tailor a blend based on your goals and health history rather than pushing a fixed package.

Why the “Who’s Administering It” Question Matters

IV therapy isn’t risk-free — it involves needles, fluid balance, and additives that interact differently depending on your health history (kidney function, medication use, pregnancy, allergies). At CareMed, every infusion is administered by a Registered Nurse, and any relevant health history is reviewed before your first drip — not assumed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

  • 1. Quick intake — A few questions about your health goals and history.
  • 2. Selection — We recommend a formula (or help you build one) based on what you’re actually trying to achieve — energy, immunity, recovery, skin, or general wellness.
  • 3. The infusion — Delivered in a calm, private treatment space. Most sessions run 30–45 minutes.
  • 4. Aftercare — Guidance on hydration and follow-up if you’re building this into a regular wellness routine.

How Often Should You Get IV Therapy?

This depends entirely on your goals:

  • One-off support (travel recovery, illness, big event prep): as needed
  • Energy & cognitive support (NAD+): often started with a short series, then spaced out for maintenance
  • General wellness/immunity: monthly is common for many clients
  • Longevity-focused protocols: typically integrated into a broader plan alongside bloodwork (see our Longevity & Prevention approach)
