Arm Your Immune System

Your immune system needs specific nutrients to function at its best. When you're stressed, traveling, or exposed to illness, your body's demand for these nutrients skyrockets. Unfortunately, oral supplements often can't deliver enough of these critical nutrients—vitamin C absorption, for example, is limited to about 500mg at a time through digestion.

IV delivery bypasses digestive limitations entirely. Our Immune Boost IV delivers therapeutic doses of vitamin C (up to 25 grams), zinc, and other immune essentials directly to your bloodstream and cells—where they can go to work immediately. This means 100% bioavailability compared to the 10-20% you might absorb from oral supplements.

Studies have shown that high-dose intravenous vitamin C can reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms, support white blood cell function, and provide powerful antioxidant protection during times of stress. Combined with zinc's role in immune cell development and glutathione's cellular protection, our Immune Boost IV gives your body the tools it needs to fight effectively.

Immune-Boosting Ingredients

A targeted blend of clinically-studied nutrients that support your body's natural defenses against illness and infection.

🍊

High-Dose Vitamin C

Powerful antioxidant that supports white blood cell function, reduces inflammation, and has been shown in studies to shorten the duration of colds and respiratory infections.

🦴

Zinc

Critical mineral for immune cell development and function. Zinc deficiency impairs immune response, and supplementation helps your body produce and activate T-cells and antibodies.

💎

Glutathione

Your body's master antioxidant, essential for detoxification and cellular protection. Glutathione helps protect immune cells from oxidative damage during infection.

B-Complex Vitamins

Essential for energy production and immune cell activity. B vitamins support the rapid cell division required to mount an immune response and maintain energy during illness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Immune Boost IV therapy and what to expect during your visit.

Can I get an Immune Boost if I'm already sick?

Yes, and that's actually one of the best times to come in. When you're already fighting an infection, your body's demand for vitamin C and zinc increases dramatically. IV nutrients help your body fight more effectively and can potentially shorten the duration and severity of your illness. Many patients report feeling significantly better within 24-48 hours of treatment.

How often should I get an Immune Boost?

The frequency depends on your lifestyle and needs. During cold and flu season (October through March), many patients opt for monthly infusions as preventive maintenance. If you travel frequently for work, consider booking before each trip. At the first signs of illness—scratchy throat, fatigue, or that "coming down with something" feeling—come in as soon as possible for the best results.

Is high-dose vitamin C safe?

Yes, when administered by qualified medical professionals. High-dose IV vitamin C has been used safely for decades and is well-tolerated by most patients. Before your first treatment, we screen for contraindications including G6PD deficiency and kidney conditions. Our medical team monitors you throughout the infusion to ensure your safety and comfort.

Will this prevent me from getting sick?

While no treatment can guarantee you won't get sick, optimizing your immune system gives you the best possible defense. Think of it like training for a marathon—you're giving your body the resources it needs to perform at its peak. Patients who maintain regular immune support often report getting sick less frequently, and when they do catch something, they recover faster.

What should I expect during the infusion?

The Immune Boost IV takes approximately 45-60 minutes. You'll relax in our comfortable IV lounge while our staff monitors your infusion. Most patients feel energized afterward, though some experience mild fatigue as their body puts those nutrients to work. You can return to normal activities immediately—there's no downtime required.

How is IV vitamin C different from oral supplements?

The key difference is absorption. Your digestive system can only absorb about 500mg of vitamin C at a time, with much of it lost before reaching your cells. IV delivery bypasses digestion entirely, allowing us to deliver therapeutic doses of 10-25 grams directly to your bloodstream. This means 100% bioavailability versus the 10-20% you might get from oral supplements.
