Over-work, over-exertion, illness and stress can lead to depletion & burn-out, yet the pressure to be at our best never goes away. While nothing replaces proper rest and rehab, IV nutritional therapy can offer a meaningful upgrade to your health & well-being when you need it most.
IV therapy works by delivering a specific formulation of nutrients + compounds directly into the body to provide your cells the nourishment they need to function at their best.
The IV program at FoRM Health in Portland, Oregon consists of 2 divisions – Wellness and Medical.
Wellness IV Program
Our Wellness IV formulas are not intended to treat any medical condition, but rather offer a boost to your overall vitality and sense of well-being within a targeted goal.

FAQ
IV ozone therapy, otherwise known as Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), involves the administration of medical grade ozone into the body through a sterile, safe and efficient process. It’s often used to improve fatigue, brain fog and reduce symptom flares associated with autoimmune conditions and chronic infections. It’s a safe + natural therapy to help improve immune function, support use of oxygen and red blood cell function, increase antioxidant levels and decrease inflammation.
High-dose vitamin C therapy is the administration of vitamin C at a higher concentration than our standard IV Immune Boost. It combines (up to 25 grams) of Vitamin C with other supportive vitamins and minerals to stimulate & support the immune system in the face of chronic illness. This option is considered for clients struggling with recurrent respiratory infections, chronic fatigue from persistent infections (Reactivated Mononucleosis or Long Covid), or as a supportive therapy in mold protocols.
Iron infusions are indicated in persistent iron-deficient anemia when oral therapies are either insufficient, not tolerated well, or not indicated. It can provide a quick resolution of symptoms secondary to chronic iron deficiency, including fatigue, weakness, dizziness and brain fog. There are two options for iron replacement solutions, which will be discussed at your initial office visit prior to receiving IV iron.
NAD+ is a coenzyme that is found in all our cells that supports energy levels (mitochondria function) and promotes longevity (DNA + cellular support). As we age, NAD+ naturally decreases, which negatively impacts energy levels, brain function, metabolism and overall vitality. NAD+ IV therapy is the most efficient way to support cellular repair and function, reduce oxidative stress, and promote longevity.
Custom IVs are for patients who would benefit from a more tailored approach, such as those with chronic, complex conditions. IV solutions are formulated based on labs such as Micronutrient deficiency +/or Organic Acids testing. These tests can help identify hidden nutritional deficiencies which may be contributing to symptoms. These IVs may also be considered if you are interested in a specific infusion that is not listed as an option under either Wellness Boost or Medical IVs.
IV nutritional therapy involves administering vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, electrolytes, amino acids + other health-promoting compounds directly into your bloodstream using a small catheter inserted into a vein.
Our IV Boost formulas are safe for anyone without an underlying medical condition. IV therapy may not be appropriate for individuals with a significant fear of needles. If you are someone with a chronic medical condition, you will need to establish care with a FoRM naturopathic doctor to discuss your health history and current needs to determine whether you are a good fit for this treatment.
There are a few patients who might not be a good candidate for IV therapy in general, including patients suffering from cancer, liver +/or kidney disease, heart failure, or blood clotting disorders.
IV nutritional therapy allows us to deliver nutrients more efficiently, effectively, and at higher concentrations than what standard oral supplementation typically allows. Since it is delivered directly into the blood stream, you are able to absorb 100% of the nutrients provided.
If you would like to learn if IV therapy is right for you, please schedule a Concierge Call with one of our FoRM Health wellness experts to determine your best care.
