All staff at Restore Wellness IV Hydration Therapy are certified medical practitioners in Alberta. Either an Advanced Care Paramedic or a Registered Nurse will administer and monitor the client during their vitamin infusion.

Yes! Our IV bags are always prepared the same day as they are infused and are never frozen. From the time the IV bag is mixed, it has to be infused within five hours or the bag is discarded. In fact, all ingredients used by Restore Wellness have a 28-day puncture-to-expiry window, meaning none or very few preservatives. All IV bags are prepared using aseptic technique, including mixing under a HEPA filter vertical laminar flow hood, which creates a bacteria- and dust-free workspace.

This depends on a number of factors, including the specific vitamins, minerals, and amino acids being infused. It also depends on the client’s baseline nutritional status. Diet, exercise, stress levels, and sleep all play major roles in absorption. Some clients choose IV therapy weekly, bi-weekly, or just once a month with great results!

It is generally safe to continue your normal daily vitamin regimen. If you have any questions, please consult your medical healthcare professional or Restore Wellness staff.

Standard insurance plans currently do not cover vitamin IV therapy. You may receive reimbursement if your insurance plan includes a Health or Wellness Spending Account. Some of our current clients have had success receiving full or partial reimbursement under these plans, but we suggest contacting your insurance provider before your visit. Restore Wellness does not direct bill.
