  1. Vitamin C (2X dose)
    • Function: Powerful antioxidant; supports various cellular functions of the immune system
    • Typical IV dose: Standard dose is often 1-2 g; a double dose could be 2-4 g or more
    • Considerations:
      • High doses can be achieved through IV that are not possible orally due to intestinal absorption limits
      • Some studies suggest high-dose IV Vitamin C may have antiviral effects, but evidence is not conclusive
      • High doses may cause headache, nausea, or diarrhea in some individuals
  2. Zinc
    • Function: Essential for normal development and function of immune cells
    • Typical IV dose: 5-10 mg (Note: IV zinc is not commonly used outside of treating deficiencies)
    • Considerations:
      • Oral zinc is generally sufficient for most people
      • Excessive zinc can interfere with copper absorption and potentially suppress immune function
  3. Antioxidants
    • Glutathione
      • Function: Master antioxidant; supports detoxification and immune function
      • Typical IV dose: 600-1200 mg
      • Considerations:
        • Effectiveness of IV versus oral administration is debated in scientific literature
    • Vitamin B Complex
        • Function: Various B vitamins support energy metabolism and immune function
        • Typical IV dose: Varies by specific B vitamins
        • Considerations:
        • Generally considered safe, but high doses of certain B vitamins can cause side effects
  • Enhanced immune system function
  • Increased resistance to infections
  • Reduced severity and duration of illnesses
  • Antioxidant support
  • Overall wellness and energy enhancement
  • Typically administered in medical clinics, wellness centers, or by healthcare providers.
  • Usually given as an IV drip over 30-60 minutes.
  • May be recommended as a single treatment or a series, especially during cold and flu season.
  1. Efficacy:
    • While individual components have known roles in immune function, evidence for the efficacy of this specific IV combination in enhancing immunity is limited
    • Most studies on high-dose Vitamin C for immune support show mixed results
  2. Safety concerns:
    • Risk of infection at injection site or in bloodstream
    • Potential for allergic reactions
    • Possibility of vein irritation or damage
    • Risk of fluid overload in susceptible individuals
  3. Interactions and Contraindications:
    • May interact with certain medications
    • Not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, particularly kidney issues or hemochromatosis
    • High-dose Vitamin C may affect glucose readings in diabetes
  • Not FDA-approved as a combined therapy for any specific condition
  • Individual components are FDA-approved for specific medical indications
  • Often considered a complementary or alternative therapy
  • Limited robust clinical trials on this specific combination
  • Individual components have varying levels of evidence for different uses
  • More research needed to establish efficacy and optimal protocols
  • Headache, nausea, or dizziness (often temporary)
  • Vein inflammation or bruising at injection site
  • Allergic reactions (rare but possible)
  • Electrolyte imbalances if administered incorrectly
  • Potential oxidative stress with high-dose antioxidants in certain individuals
  • Should be administered under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider
  • Informed consent is crucial, including discussion of potential risks and limitations of evidence
  • Balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables
  • Regular exercise
  • Adequate sleep
  • Stress management
  • Proper hygiene practices
  • Vaccinations as recommended by health authorities

While the components of this Immunity IV infusion are known to play important roles in immune function, the scientific evidence supporting its use as a combined IV therapy for general immune enhancement is limited. The necessity of IV administration for these nutrients in individuals without specific deficiencies is questionable. Individuals considering this treatment should consult with qualified healthcare providers to discuss potential benefits, risks, and evidence-based alternatives based on their specific health status and goals.

IV therapy is a valuable option for a wide range of individuals who are seeking to enhance their immune system and overall well-being. This therapy is particularly beneficial for those who experience chronic illnesses, such as recurrent colds or flu symptoms. By delivering essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy can help strengthen the immune response, reduce the frequency and severity of illness episodes, and support the body’s ability to fight off infections. Individuals who suffer from allergies can find relief through IV therapy. The infusion of targeted nutrients can help modulate immune responses, alleviate allergy symptoms, and promote a more balanced immune system function. Another group that can benefit from this therapy includes those who require antioxidant support. IV therapy delivers potent antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, such as vitamin C and glutathione, which can help neutralize harmful free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and support cellular health.
The treatment itself lasts for 45 minutes but clients can feel the benefits up to weeks afterwards. When it comes to IV therapy for an immune boost, the duration of effectiveness can vary depending on the specific nutrients administered and the individual’s unique physiology. However, one notable advantage of IV therapy is that the vitamins and nutrients introduced into the body through the infusion can have a prolonged impact. After receiving an IV infusion for immune boost, the vitamins and nutrients introduced into your system continue to circulate and maintain elevated levels for an extended period of time. This is due to the direct absorption of these substances into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive process in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Typically, the effects of IV therapy for immune boost can last between 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, the nutrients remain readily available in your body, supporting and fortifying your immune system. This sustained presence of essential vitamins and minerals allows for a longer-lasting impact compared to oral supplements, which need to pass through the digestive system and may be subject to varying degrees of absorption and degradation.
Determining the ideal frequency for receiving IV therapy depends on your specific needs, goals, and reasons for seeking this treatment. IV therapy offers various benefits to the immune system by filling nutritional gaps or providing specialized nutrients that may be challenging to obtain through diet alone. For individuals seeking overall immune system enhancement through IV therapy, an infusion every two weeks is generally considered both ideal and sufficient. This frequency allows for elevated nutrient levels in the body for a couple of weeks following each infusion. However, if you have a specific health condition or are under the supervision of a healthcare professional, they may recommend weekly IV therapy sessions with specialized nutrient drips. In such cases, the healthcare professional will provide guidance and justification for the increased frequency of IV therapy.
IV therapy involves receiving a customized infusion of nutrients tailored to your specific wellness needs and goals. The gradual administration of nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line allows for higher concentrations that cannot be achieved through oral or intramuscular methods. This comprehensive approach to health and wellness aims to strengthen the immune system, alleviate gastrointestinal issues, boost energy levels, and enhance mental sharpness. Our most popular IV formula consists of a potent combination of nutrients and minerals that enhance energy and support immune function at the cellular level. This includes powerful antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione, which are administered alongside various B vitamins to enhance metabolic processes, promote the development of neurotransmitters, and improve energy production within cells. Additionally, this formula provides essential minerals such as zinc, selenium, and magnesium, which play vital roles in numerous metabolic reactions throughout the body.
