IV Therapy, short for intravenous therapy, is a modern wellness solution that delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system and lose potency, IV Therapy offers 100% bioavailability—meaning your body can immediately use what it needs.

At UNIKA Medical Centre, IV Therapy is one of our most requested treatments for people seeking increased energy, faster recovery, improved immunity, and relief from chronic fatigue or dehydration. Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or someone managing chronic illness, this personalized approach to wellness is transforming the way Canadians think about preventive care.

Understanding the Core Benefits of IV Therapy

Immediate Hydration and Nutrient Absorption

One of the standout features of IV Therapy is its ability to quickly replenish hydration levels and provide immediate nutrient absorption. This makes it particularly effective after illness, intense exercise, long flights, or alcohol consumption. At UNIKA Medical Centre, each IV drip is customized to meet your specific health goals.
Unlike oral supplements that can take hours to digest and absorb, IV Therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream for rapid impact.
You may begin to feel more energized, focused, and refreshed within minutes of completing your session.
This makes it a go-to solution for individuals seeking fast, noticeable improvements in both physical and mental performance.

Enhanced Energy and Vitality

Many patients report feeling a noticeable boost in energy following vitamin IV treatment sessions. This is largely due to the infusion of B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and other energy-enhancing nutrients. For those struggling with fatigue or burnout, IV Therapy offers a fast, safe, and effective solution.

Why Immunity Matters—and How IV Therapy Helps

Targeted Immune Support

A strong immune system is your body’s first line of defense against infections and viruses. Vitamin IV treatment enhances immunity with nutrients like Vitamin C, Zinc, and Glutathione—powerful antioxidants and immune modulators.

Ideal During Cold and Flu Season

UNIKA Medical Centre recommends IV Therapy as a proactive step, especially during flu season or before travel. Clients often choose immune-boosting drips to reduce their chances of falling ill or to recover faster from infections.
These treatments typically include high-dose vitamin C, zinc, and other immune-supportive nutrients that enhance your body’s natural defenses.
By strengthening your immune system ahead of time, vitamin IV treatment can help you stay healthier during periods of high exposure to viruses.

What to Expect During Your IV Therapy Session

Personalized Consultation

Every vitamin IV treatment at UNIKA Medical Centre starts with a comprehensive consultation. Our medical staff reviews your health history, lifestyle, and wellness goals to formulate a nutrient blend tailored to your needs.

Quick and Comfortable Procedure

A typical session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is simple and painless—patients are comfortably seated, and a small catheter is placed in a vein in your arm. You can relax, read, or scroll your phone during the session.

Types of IV Therapy Offered at UNIKA Medical Centre

UNIKA Medical Centre offers a range of IV Therapy formulas to address specific health needs:

IV Therapy for Chronic Illness Management

People suffering from chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines, or autoimmune diseases may benefit greatly from regular vitamin IV treatment. The consistent nutrient support can help reduce flare-ups, improve cellular function, and manage pain.

At UNIKA Medical Centre, we customize treatment plans for chronic illness patients in collaboration with your primary care provider. Vitamin IV treatment is not a cure, but it can be a valuable tool for symptom relief and wellness optimization.

By replenishing deficiencies in essential nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, vitamin IV treatment supports your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Many patients report enhanced energy, better sleep quality, and fewer episodes of pain after just a few sessions.
Because the treatment is administered directly into the bloodstream, it works quickly and avoids issues with nutrient absorption common in some chronic illnesses.
We also monitor patient progress over time to adjust IV formulations as needs evolve.
This integrative approach ensures your therapy is not only effective but sustainable for long-term health management.

Is IV Therapy Safe?

IV Therapy is extremely safe when administered by trained medical professionals. At UNIKA Medical Centre, all treatments are overseen by licensed healthcare providers and follow strict medical protocols. Side effects are rare and usually limited to minor bruising or a cool sensation during the infusion.

It’s important to avoid DIY or unregulated vitamin IV treatment providers. Always seek treatment from a qualified clinic that uses pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.

Who Should Consider IV Therapy?

IV Therapy isn’t just for celebrities and athletes—it’s suitable for anyone looking to improve their health in a targeted way.

Ideal candidates include:

  • People with vitamin deficiencies
  • Individuals recovering from illness or surgery
  • Those with compromised immune systems
  • Busy professionals and frequent travelers
  • Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia sufferers
  • Anyone pursuing preventive health care

How Often Should You Get IV Therapy?

Frequency depends on your health goals. For general wellness, once every 2–4 weeks may suffice. For more intensive needs, weekly sessions may be recommended initially. UNIKA Medical Centre creates tailored treatment schedules for every patient.

Comparing IV Therapy to Oral Supplements

IV Therapy delivers nutrients directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system, which limits the effectiveness of oral supplements. Here’s a quick comparison:

Factor Oral Supplements IV Therapy
Absorption Rate 20–50% Up to 100%
Onset of Effects Slow Immediate
