Intravenous (IV) therapy has become an increasingly valuable treatment in integrative and naturopathic medicine. By delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy helps improve hydration, correct nutrient deficiencies, and enhance energy and immune function. At New West Wellness Centre in New Westminster, B.C.Dr. Maliheh Hakakzadeh, ND, offers evidence-informed IV nutrient therapy customized to support each patient’s individual health goals.


1. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption

When supplements are taken orally, the digestive system can limit how much your body actually absorbs. IV therapy bypasses digestion, allowing 100% direct absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants into the bloodstream.
This approach is particularly effective for individuals with nutrient deficiencies, poor digestion, or chronic fatigue who may not fully benefit from oral supplementation.


2. Support for Recovery and Rehydration

Whether you’re recovering from an illness, intense exercise, or daily stress, IV therapy helps replenish fluids and electrolytes while supporting your body’s natural recovery processes.
At New West Wellness Centre, IV therapy is often used to restore balance, reduce fatigue, and enhance resilience, making it a valuable option for post-illness recovery or general wellness maintenance.


3. Energy and Metabolic Support

Low energy levels are a common concern for many patients. IV therapy provides direct access to B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids that help fuel cellular metabolism and promote optimal energy production.
Patients frequently report feeling more alert and revitalized following IV therapy with Dr. Hakakzadeh, especially when fatigue is related to nutrient depletion or chronic stress.


4. Immune System Support

IV nutrient therapy can be tailored to include vitamin C, zinc, and glutathione — nutrients that are clinically recognized for their immune-boosting and antioxidant properties.
Regular sessions can strengthen the immune system, enhance detoxification, and help the body better respond to seasonal illness or environmental stressors.


5. Individualized IV Therapy Treatments

Each patient at New West Wellness Centre receives a personalized IV therapy plan by Dr. Maliheh Hakakzadeh, ND.
Using a detailed health assessment, Dr. Hakakzadeh designs IV nutrient formulations that align with your wellness goals — whether you’re seeking immune support, improved energy, hydration, or overall health optimization.
Every formula is prepared with your unique physiology and needs in mind.


6. Safe, Professional, and Time-Efficient Care

All IV therapy sessions are conducted in a safe, comfortable clinical setting at New West Wellness Centre. Treatments typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, with mini IV drips available for patients who prefer shorter visits.
IV therapy is administered by our licensed naturopathic doctor using sterile techniques and pharmaceutical-grade nutrients to ensure optimal safety and results.
