Restore Your Energy. Rebuild Your Strength.
Iron is an essential mineral your body needs to make hemoglobin—a protein in red blood cells
that carries oxygen to your tissues. When iron levels are too low, you may feel fatigued, short of breath, cold, or mentally foggy. For individuals who cannot tolerate oral iron or whose iron stores are severely depleted, IV iron infusion is a safe and effective treatment.
At Invest in My Health, we offer IV iron infusions using Sodium Ferric Gluconate Complex, delivered in doses of 62.5 mg or 125 mg depending on your individual needs and tolerance. A series of up to five infusions is the typical course.
Who Might Benefit from IV Iron Infusion?
IV iron may be the right choice for you if you:
- Have been diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia
- Cannot tolerate or do not respond to oral iron supplements
- Have chronic blood loss (due to heavy periods, GI bleeding, or frequent blood
donation) - Are undergoing chemotherapy or have chronic kidney disease (Patients with this
condition are recommended to go to a hematologist for iron infusion) - Are pregnant or recently postpartum and experiencing iron deficiency
- Have restless leg syndrome linked to iron deficiency
- Follow a plant-based diet or have had bariatric surgery, limiting iron absorption
What to Expect: Evaluation Before Treatment
Before receiving an iron infusion, you will undergo a thorough medical evaluation that includes:
- Review of lab results including:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Iron Studies
- Ferritin (iron storage protein)
- Assessment by a licensed medical doctor to ensure this therapy is right for you
Your customized treatment plan will be based on your lab findings, symptoms, and overall
health status.
