IV Iron Infusion
When you visit Yugen Care by Dr Gehad, you’ll have a chance to try out our IV Iron Boost. This is a highly targeted intravenous vitamin therapy designed to restore healthy iron levels, support brain function, and enhance overall well-being. This IV treatment delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream through a small tube inserted into a vein, ensuring high concentrations of essential nutrients are absorbed without the limitations of the gastrointestinal tract.
By bypassing digestion, IV vitamin therapy offers maximum absorption (90–100%), compared to the reduced uptake from oral supplements, which can be limited by vitamin deficiencies, poor gut health, or upset stomach. This makes it the preferred option for clients struggling with symptoms of iron deficiency, fatigue, or low energy despite taking traditional supplements.
How Does IV Therapy Work?
IV iron infusion therapy is a specialized form of intravenous nutrient therapy in which a medical professional administers a custom IV drip therapy containing iron, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. A famous scientist, John Myers, developed the process to help people who required an additional boost of vitamins and minerals.
The IV drip is administered intravenously, with nutrients delivered directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for rapid correction of deficiencies, cellular repair, and improved brain function. All of this is without the discomfort or side effects often associated with high-dose oral iron.
This effective treatment is especially beneficial for clients with chronic kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, or those who cannot tolerate oral supplements due to upset stomach or poor absorption.

FAQs
Is IV iron infusion safe?
Yes. All infusions are performed by experienced healthcare professionals under medical supervision, with careful monitoring for rare allergic reactions or fluid overload.
Who is a good candidate for intravenous vitamin therapy?
Clients with confirmed iron deficiency, chronic kidney disease, heavy menstrual bleeding, gastrointestinal absorption issues, or those experiencing life-threatening anaemia symptoms.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on your deficiency, 1–3 sessions may be required. We reassess iron levels after each intravenous micronutrient therapy to determine ongoing needs.
Can IV iron infusion help with weight loss or anti-aging?
While its primary goal is correcting iron deficiency, optimizing iron levels can indirectly support weight loss, anti-aging, and athletic performance by improving oxygen delivery, tissue repair, and metabolic efficiency.
What are the side effects of IV treatment?
Possible mild effects include headache, dizziness, or low blood pressure during infusion. Rarely, clients may experience difficulty breathing or a severe allergic reaction, which is why infusions are always monitored. Consult a doctor if you have high blood pressure, problems with the digestive system, or are using certain medications.
