What is IV therapy?
Intravenous (IV) Therapy is the infusion of nutrients directly into the bloodstream through the veins. The infusions consist of a blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Nutrients taken orally get broken down in the stomach and digestive tract, which severely limits their absorption. IV therapy by-passes our digestive system, therefore providing a much higher absorption, close to 100%, allowing the nutrients to reach our cells quickly and efficiently.
This can be especially helpful in people who suffer from digestive concerns, or are unable to get adequate nutrition for a variety of other reasons.
The EBL Approach
At EBL, IV therapy is used as part of our comprehensive restoration programs or as stand-alone treatments.
As part of a comprehensive program, IV therapy is used to treat Adrenal fatigue, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Hormone health, Gut health and many other Chronic illnesses. When combined with other therapies including dietary adjustments and nutritional supplementation, IV therapy can help our patients feel better, faster.
Additionally, other patients come in for IV therapy as a stand-alone treatment. Whether it's active people looking to get more from their workouts, busy parents juggling many responsibilities, people working demanding jobs, travelers suffering from jet lag and people trying to ward off a cold or the flu.
What are the benefits?
Vitamins, minerals and amino acids are vital in the proper functioning of every part of our body.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ How long does IV Therapy take?
It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
+ Does the IV hurt?
IV drips should not hurt, and at the very least, all you should feel is a small pinch as the needle pierces the skin. If it hurts, then it may have been wrongly inserted. At EBL, all our staff are highly trained for this procedure, and you would have nothing to worry about with us.
+ What is the cost?
The cost includes your initial consultation/set-up fee + nutrient fee. For ongoing treatments you will only pay the set-up fee + nutrient fee. Nutrient fees can range from $65-250 (depending on the custom formulation). Consult/set up fees are based on discussions with your practitioner.
+ How long does it take for the IV to work?
IV medication goes to work immediately as it is delivered directly into the bloodstream.

How often you should do IV therapy will depend on your health, situation, and needs. Since all our treatments are customized according to your needs, we will advise you on how many treatments you need after evaluating your needs.
