IV Iron
Are You Struggling With These Symptoms?
You may be a candidate for IV iron if you experience:
- Persistent fatigue or low energy even after a full night’s sleep
- Shortness of breath or palpitations during everyday activity or exercise
- Decline in athletic performance
- Brain fog, dizziness, headaches, or difficulty concentrating
- Hair shedding, brittle nails, or pale skin
- Heavy menstrual periods or post-partum blood loss
- Stomach pain, constipation, or nausea from oral iron pills
- Iron deficiency following GI surgery or bariatric procedures, or secondary to chronic blood loss (eg, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis)
If your labs show low iron saturation, elevated TIBC, low ferritin, or iron-deficiency anemia, IV iron can rebuild your stores far faster and more comfortably than months of iron supplements.
Why IV Iron vs Pills
Why IV Iron Works When Pills Don’t
Oral iron supplements are slow, often take 6 months or longer to work, and cause significant GI side effects in many patients. IV iron delivers a precise, calculated dose directly into your bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system entirely.
Benefits of IV iron over oral iron:
- Faster results — most patients see improvement in energy within weeks
- No stomach cramps, nausea, or constipation
- Ideal for patients with IBD, celiac disease, or post-bariatric surgery who can’t absorb iron well
- A single course often repletes levels that would take many months to achieve with pills
- Administered in a relaxing, comfortable medical infusion suite
