We’re entering the peak season for influenza and cold viruses, making it more important than ever for you to protect your health. Along with all of the basic preventative measures for viral infections, including washing your hands regularly, getting enough sleep, and eating a healthy diet, consider IV therapy to bolster your immune system this year! With IV therapy, you can prevent getting sick and, if you do get sick, speed up your recovery from the infection.
IV therapy involves the intravenous administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients in concentrated doses. With this method, the nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream so that your body can utilize them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
There’s a wide variety of IV therapy formulas available, and many of these formulas can give your body’s immune function a valuable boost. By undergoing regular IV therapy sessions this winter, you can give your immune system the strength it needs to fend off foreign invaders, including flu and cold viruses!
The IV therapy treatments that are the most effective for enhancing your recovery from the flu or cold include:
The Immune Jump Start
Available at the Heim Regenerative Medicine Center, this IV treatment is designed specifically to help the body combat infection. It combines B vitamins, glutathione, glutamine, magnesium, NAC, and advanced cellular silver.
- B vitamins strengthen the immune system by promoting red blood cell growth.
- Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that bolsters immune function while helping to rid the body of toxins. Glutathione infusions are also available for patients who want to maximize the benefits of this nutrient.
- Glutamine is used by the body as fuel for the immune system.
- Magnesium enhances white blood cell function.
- NAC inhibits the replication of viruses and reduces inflammation.
- Advanced cellular silver is a potent antimicrobial and helps the body combat infection.
Meyer’s Cocktail
The Meyer’s cocktail is among the most popular IV treatments. It provides a powerful dose of vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals to enhance the body’s immune function. Many people opt for Meyer’s cocktail to recover more quickly from colds and the flu.
It takes about 45 to 60 minutes to administer the Meyer’s cocktail. If you want a faster alternative, you can choose the mini Meyer’s, which only takes about 10 minutes to administer!
High-Dose Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a robust antioxidant that people often take as a supplement for improved immune function. It improves the body’s ability to fight off infections, including colds and flu viruses. With high-dose vitamin C, it’s often possible to cut down on the duration of a viral infection. Adding zinc to any of our infusions delivers a powerful viral fighting nutrient that has been shown to decrease viral replication which can greatly reduce your risk of more serious illness and the duration of illness.
Ozone Infusions
Ozone is an oxygen molecule that has the capacity to protect the human body from sickness and disease. When ozone is administered to the body, it improves circulation and activates the immune system. If you have a cold or flu infection, an ozone infusion may help you get healthy faster by delivering concentrated oxygen to your cells.
