Hydration, Energy, Beauty, Recovery: Inside Our IV & IM Menu
Exploring IV and IM Therapy with Hyndford Hydration
IV (intravenous) and IM (intramuscular) therapies are becoming increasingly popular options for individuals seeking to support their wellness goals with targeted hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants. Unlike oral supplements, IV and IM therapies deliver nutrients directly into your bloodstream or muscle for faster absorption and more reliable availability to your cells.
At Hyndford Hydration, we see clients choosing these therapies for a wide variety of reasons — from seeking more energy, to looking after their skin, to recovery from travel or intense exercise. Here’s a closer look at the different types of infusions and injections we offer, along with the reasons why people use them.
Energy and Vitality Support
Arbutus Vitality (Energy Reset) IV
Chosen by clients experiencing fatigue, brain fog, or long hours of work and study. This infusion blends B vitamins with taurine to support stamina, focus, and mental clarity.
Why people use it: reported improvements in energy metabolism, reduced tiredness, and more precise focus.
Evidence: B vitamins support energy production and neurological function【1】; taurine has been studied for exercise performance and reducing fatigue【2】.
B12 and B-Complex Injections
Quick IM injections that deliver energy-supporting nutrients directly to the bloodstream.
Why people use it: B12 supports red blood cell production and nervous system health【3】, while a full B-complex can help with stress resilience and steady energy.
Longevity and Antioxidant Support
Douglas Strength (ALA + Vitamin C IV)
Pairs alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) with Vitamin C for antioxidant and aging support.
Why people use it: reported benefits for nerve health, oxidative stress, and immune resilience.
Evidence: IV ALA is approved in Germany for diabetic neuropathy【4】; Vitamin C plays a key role in immune and antioxidant defence【5】.
Driftwood Vitality (NAD⁺ IV)
NAD⁺ is a coenzyme that fuels cellular energy and repair.
Why people use it: many clients report improved mental clarity, steadier energy, and support for recovery from burnout.
Evidence: research shows NAD⁺ levels decline with age, and supplementation is being studied for metabolism and healthy aging【6】.
ALA Injection (Vital Glow)
This intramuscular injection delivers alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a powerful antioxidant, in a shorter session without the need for a complete IV.
Why people use it: Many clients choose this option for its reported ability to support antioxidant defence, reduce oxidative stress, and promote cellular health. Some also use ALA injections as part of their wellness routine for healthy aging or to complement fitness and recovery goals.
Evidence: ALA is studied for its role in glucose metabolism, mitochondrial support, and nerve health, and has been used internationally in integrative care models【4】.
Beauty and Skin Health
Salish Glow (Antioxidant / Skin Health IV)
Combines Vitamin C and glutathione, two antioxidants that work together to support skin health.
Why people use it: reported benefits include refreshed skin tone and reduced oxidative stress.
Evidence: glutathione is studied for its antioxidant role and potential in skin brightening【7】; Vitamin C contributes to collagen production【8】.
Salish Radiance (Hair, Skin, Nails IV)
A blend of biotin and glutathione designed for beauty support.
Why people use it: clients often book it for nail strength, shinier hair, and overall skin vitality.
Evidence: biotin is associated with nail health【9】, while glutathione provides cellular antioxidant defence.
Biotin and Glutathione Injections
These intramuscular injections provide targeted beauty and antioxidant support in a quick, convenient format.
Why people use it: Clients often choose biotin injections to support hair strength, nail resilience, and overall skin health, particularly if they feel their diet or lifestyle hasn’t been enough on its own. Glutathione injections are popular for those looking to reduce oxidative stress and support skin brightness, detoxification, and cellular defence. Many clients book them as “in-between” boosts to maintain results between full IV sessions.
Evidence: Biotin is associated with nail strength and hair quality【9】, while glutathione is widely studied for its role as the body’s “master antioxidant” and has been linked to skin brightening and detox pathways【7】.
Recovery and Performance
Surf Recovery (Hangover / Migraine Relief IV)
This infusion is designed to restore hydration, electrolytes, and nutrients that are often depleted after alcohol intake, illness, or migraine episodes. It helps rebalance fluids while supporting energy metabolism and recovery.
Why people use it: Clients often choose this drip after a late night, during migraine recovery, or following nausea and dehydration when they need faster relief than oral fluids or rest alone can provide. It’s popular with those who want to clear their head, reduce queasiness, and feel restored more quickly.
Evidence: Rehydration with fluids and electrolytes is a cornerstone of recovery from dehydration【10】, and B vitamins and magnesium are frequently included in supportive care for migraines and fatigue【1】【10】.
Wild Pacific (Athletic Recovery IV)
Combines magnesium and L-carnitine to support muscles and energy after exertion.
Why people use it: reported benefits include less cramping, better post-exercise recovery, and steadier endurance.
Evidence: magnesium supports muscle and nerve function【10】; L-carnitine is studied for athletic performance【11】.
Pacific Reset (Traveller’s Reset IV)
This infusion replenishes fluids, B vitamins, and Vitamin C to help counter the fatigue, dehydration, and stress that often accompany travel. It is designed to restore balance and support your body’s natural defences after long journeys.
Why people use it: Frequently booked after long flights, extended road trips, or busy travel schedules, clients often report feeling more refreshed, less jet-lagged, and better able to recover from the physical and mental toll of being on the move.
Evidence: Travel is associated with dehydration, circadian rhythm disruption, and lowered immune defences【5】【6】. Vitamin C and B vitamins are studied for their roles in supporting immune response and energy metabolism during periods of stress【1】【5】.
Hydration and Immune Defence
Cedar Shield (Immune Support IV)
This infusion delivers high-dose Vitamin C along with trace minerals that are important for immune defence and cellular function. Vitamin C plays a well-established role in supporting immune response, while minerals like zinc, selenium, and others contribute to antioxidant activity and energy metabolism.
Why people use it: Cedar Shield is especially popular during cold and flu season, after periods of high stress, or following travel when the immune system may be more vulnerable. Clients often book it to feel more fortified, supported, and prepared for the seasonal challenges ahead.
Evidence: Vitamin C has been shown to contribute to normal immune system function and reduce the duration of colds in some cases【5】. Trace minerals, such as zinc, are well studied for their role in immunity and recovery [10].
Island Hydration IV
A pure saline infusion designed to restore fluid balance and support circulation. Replenishing fluids directly into the bloodstream helps the body recover more quickly from dehydration compared to oral hydration alone.
Why people use it: Commonly booked after illness, heat exposure, or strenuous activity, and also chosen by clients with conditions like postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) or dysautonomia, where maintaining hydration is essential. Clients often report feeling refreshed, stabilized, and more energized after treatment.
Evidence: Intravenous saline is a recognized method of treating dehydration in clinical settings【10】, and research highlights the role of hydration in improving circulation, reducing dizziness, and supporting overall function【12】.
Vitamin D Injection (Immune Boost)
A quick intramuscular injection of Vitamin D, an essential nutrient for bone strength, immune function, and mood regulation. In Canada, low Vitamin D levels are common due to limited sun exposure, particularly during the winter months.
Why people use it: Often chosen to support bone density, immunity, and overall wellness during colder seasons when sunlight is scarce. Clients also book it as a convenient way to maintain steady Vitamin D levels without relying solely on supplements.
Evidence: Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in northern climates and has been linked to reduced bone mineral density and increased susceptibility to infections【12】. Supplementation helps restore levels and support immune health.
