What IV Therapy Actually Costs Across Canada: Real Pricing From 30+ Clinics

Canadian IV therapy pricing is opaque on purpose. Most clinics will not publish prices on their website because they want you to call. We pulled what we could from 30+ Canadian clinics that do publish menus, including the providers behind our recently published mobile IV guides for Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton, plus the 12 clinics in our directory that publish a price range. Here is what you should actually expect to pay in CAD across Canada in 2026.
Instagram-share line: Honest Canadian IV pricing pulled from 30+ clinics that actually publish their menu. Real CAD ranges, mobile premium, and the price-quote tricks worth knowing.
Methodology
We pulled pricing from three sources:
- The 12 Canadian providers in our directory who publish a price_range on their listing.
- The 4 mobile-IV city guides we published in May-June 2026 for Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton, which contain research-backed CAD ranges from operator-confirmed menus.
- Direct website inspection of 12-15 additional Canadian clinic menus that publish prices publicly.
We deliberately did not invent or estimate beyond what real clinics publish. Where the sample is thin, we say so. We did not extrapolate to "average Canadian clinic" without grounding in real menus.
The Honest Pricing Picture
Hydration IV ($150 to $250 CAD)
A standard hydration IV is 500 to 1000 ml of saline with B-complex and electrolytes. This is the cheapest IV therapy product on the market and the highest-volume seller. In-clinic Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary providers cluster at $150 to $200. Premium downtown clinics cluster at $200 to $250. Mobile delivery adds $50 to $100.
Myers Cocktail ($175 to $300 CAD)
The classic blended IV of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. Canadian clinics in our research pulled from clinic websites cluster:
- BC and Alberta: $175 to $250.
- Ontario: $200 to $275.
- Quebec: $225 to $300 (smaller sample).
- Mobile premium: $50 to $100 added.
Immune Boost IV ($150 to $250 CAD)
High-dose vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins. Similar pricing to Myers Cocktail at most clinics. Some clinics charge a premium for higher vitamin C doses (5 to 25 grams). Pricing scales with vitamin C dose.
NAD+ IV ($400 to $1,000 CAD per session)
NAD+ has the widest price range and the most opaque pricing in the market. Sessions vary from 250 mg ($350 to $500) to 1000 mg ($800 to $1,200). Most Canadian clinics offer NAD+ as a multi-session package, with the per-session cost dropping 10 to 20 percent for series purchases.
Hangover Recovery IV ($175 to $275 CAD)
Saline plus B vitamins, anti-nausea options, and electrolytes. Pricing is similar to Myers Cocktail. Mobile-only providers tend to charge $50 to $100 more for weekend dispatch.
Iron Infusions ($300 to $500 CAD per session)
For iron-deficiency anemia. Often require an iron panel before booking. Most Canadian clinics charge per session, with 1 to 3 sessions typically needed depending on dose and product (Venofer, Monoferric).
Glutathione IV ($75 to $200 CAD)
Often sold as an add-on to Myers or hydration IVs. As a stand-alone, smaller doses are $75 to $125 and full IV doses can reach $200.
High-Dose Vitamin C IV ($200 to $500 CAD)
For oncology adjunct (where naturopathic doctor is authorized) or wellness contexts. Pricing scales heavily with vitamin C dose. 15 to 25 gram doses cluster around $250 to $400.
What the Real Total Looks Like
When budgeting, factor in:
Initial consultation. $75 to $250 for a first-visit intake with the prescribing clinician. Many Canadian naturopathic-IV clinics require this. Mobile providers sometimes bundle the intake into the first session.
Mobile delivery fee. $50 to $150 added per call-out. Often free for repeat customers or for groups of 2 or more.
Membership programs. Many Canadian IV clinics offer membership pricing at $99 to $250 per month, which typically unlocks a 15 to 25 percent discount on infusion menu items.
Insurance coverage. Most Canadian extended health plans do not cover wellness IV. Iron infusions and B12 may be covered if medically indicated and administered by a covered provider. Naturopathic services are covered under many Canadian benefit plans, often with annual limits.
The Mobile Premium Is Real
Across our research sample, mobile IV providers in Canadian metros charge a 15 to 30 percent premium over the comparable in-clinic price for the same drip. The premium covers driver time, vehicle wear, and the operational reality that a nurse driving across Toronto cannot do back-to-back appointments the way an in-clinic team can. The trade-off is convenience: same-day, in-home, no waiting room.
Where Canadian Pricing Differs From The US
Canadian pricing is broadly 15 to 30 percent lower than US-equivalent pricing in major markets, though Vancouver and Toronto downtown premiums narrow the gap. The biggest differences are on NAD+ (US clinics often charge USD 800 to 1,500 for the same dose), iron infusions (US private-pay rates are higher), and immune-boost IVs.
What To Expect From An Honest Quote
A good Canadian IV clinic will:
- Publish base prices for at least their top-3 drips.
- Quote the consultation cost separately.
- Quote the mobile delivery fee separately if applicable.
- Explain what the price covers (consultation only, infusion only, or both).
- Not pressure you into a series purchase at first visit.
If a clinic refuses to quote until you book, that is your signal to call another clinic. The Canadian market has plenty of transparent options now.
Where We Got This Data
Direct prices from clinic websites and menus, confirmed with operator-published guides. The 12 Canadian providers in our directory with published price ranges are the most explicit sample; the rest comes from our city-guide research and direct menu inspection. We did not survey every Canadian IV provider and we are not claiming this is exhaustive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't Canadian IV clinics publish their prices? Most use phone calls or in-person quotes because the price often includes a consultation, a custom blend, or a mobile fee that varies. Some operators prefer phone-quote pricing as a sales conversion tool. The market is gradually moving toward published menus, and clinics that publish are generally easier to trust.
Are wellness IV treatments covered by Canadian health insurance? Most provincial health plans do not cover wellness IV. Iron infusions and B12 may be covered if medically indicated. Naturopathic services are covered by many private extended health plans, often with annual limits in the $300 to $1,000 range.
What is the cheapest legitimate IV in Canada? A standard hydration IV at an in-clinic naturopathic practice. Typically $150 to $200 CAD. Avoid heavily discounted "$99 wellness drips" on Groupon or social media; they are usually loss-leaders with high-pressure upsells.
Is the mobile premium worth it? For one-off events (post-flight, hangover, sick day), often yes. For regular monthly infusions, the in-clinic option is meaningfully cheaper and equally effective. Try mobile once to see if you value the convenience enough to pay the premium consistently.
