IV Nutrient Therapy
Customized intravenous infusions designed to deliver high-dose vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream with full bioavailability.
Custom formulasBioavailable
VirtualOntario-wide
Deep systemic recovery
Bypassing digestive barriers to restore cellular energy
While oral supplementation is a foundational part of many long-term health plans, the digestive tract can present a significant bottleneck. Factors like chronic stress, gastrointestinal inflammation, and certain medication side effects can drastically reduce how much nutrition your body actually absorbs. IV nutrient therapy delivers precise, clinical concentrations of essential micronutrients straight into your circulation, ensuring your cells can immediately access what they need to repair and thrive.
Since JOSIE operates as a virtual-first practice, we coordinate your advanced hands-on clinical care seamlessly behind the scenes. Your personalized nutrient protocols are formulated based on your distinct lab markers and safely administered in a calm environment at our partner naturopathic IV lounge in Etobicoke, Toronto.
- Full bioavailability by completely bypassing gut limitations.
- Tailored formulas containing high-dose vitamins, minerals, and target antioxidants.
- Administered at our partner clinic in Etobicoke, Toronto for active patients.
Formulated for your cells
A customized blend built around your health data
We don't offer generic, pre-made IV cocktails. Every single infusion is built individually from scratch to target your specific cellular and metabolic needs. Your customized formula typically includes a targeted base of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and can be further specialized with functional compounds:
- Vitamins & Minerals: High-dose vitamin C, a comprehensive B-vitamin profile (including B12, B5, and B6), magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium.
- Advanced Antioxidants: Glutathione to support systemic detoxification and cellular defense.
- Target Amino Acids: Specialized compounds like L-carnitine, L-glutamine, and L-arginine can be seamlessly added when clinically indicated to support muscle recovery, tissue repair, and metabolic health.
