Am I a Candidate for an Immune Boost IV Therapy Session?

The goal of intravenous (IV) infusion therapy is to deliver system-supporting hydration, essential nutrients, and free-radical-fighting antioxidants straight to your bloodstream and the body cells that need them the most. 

IV therapy can:

• Improve energy and metabolism
• Defuse stress and inflammation
• Restore optimal hydration levels
• Correct nutritional deficiencies
• Enhance post-exercise recovery

One of the most sought-after benefits of IV therapy is its ability to support optimal immune system function, helping your body fight off infection and illness and stay healthy. 

In this month’s blog post, our team at Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers Pompano Beach discusses the ins and outs of IV infusion therapy, including when you should consider booking a session to give your immunity a much-needed boost.

Does your immune system need a boost?

Your immune system is a complex network of cells, organs, and proteins that work in synergy to remove harmful substances and protect you from infection and illness. 

The immune system’s defensive steps — recognition of pathogenic invaders, activation of white blood cell responders, T-cell and B-cell attack to destroy pathogens, and memory integration to mount a faster defense in the future — is your body’s efficiently elegant way of maintaining health and equilibrium.  

But sometimes, your immune system is sluggish or needs a little extra support. Your immune system may benefit from an IV infusion boost if:

• You often feel stressed 
• You don’t get enough sleep 
• You don’t want to get sick 
• You’re battling a significant cold
• You have seasonal allergies
• Your workouts are intense
• You’ve been “partying” a lot
• Your diet hasn’t been healthy 

Most people think their immune system only needs extra support if they’re already sick with a cold, the flu, or another acute illness, or if they want to proactively prevent infection. 

However, many things can hamper immune system function, including chronic stress, poor sleep habits, a diet rich in processed foods (i.e., saturated fats, added sugars, sodium), cigarettes, and alcohol. 

Even beneficial stressors — like intense physical activity — can be temporarily hard on your immune system. 

IV infusion therapy provides direct support

IV infusion therapy is a quick in-office treatment that injects hydrating fluids (sterile saline) along with a customized blend of cell-nourishing nutrients directly into your bloodstream. 

This restorative therapy bypasses your digestive system, ensuring the quick and complete delivery of nutrients and fluids to the body cells and tissues that need them the most.

Delivering the fluids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and coenzymes that support your immune system directly into your bloodstream allows IV therapy to stabilize, clarify, and energize your body with near-immediate effect. 

An effective blend of beneficial nutrients 

To provide optimal immune support that has the power to ease active symptoms, lower your risk of illness, boost your energy, ease inflammation, and soothe your nervous system, our team offers Myer’s Cocktail IV blend. This immune-boosting infusion contains: 

• Hydrating saline fluids 
• High-dose vitamin C
• Vitamin B complex 
• Magnesium and zinc
• Glutathione antioxidants  

Let’s take a closer look at how each of these nutrients enhances immunity:     

Vitamin C

This powerful antioxidant vitamin attacks the cell-damaging free radicals that contribute to toxin buildup and impaired immunity. It also strengthens your skin barrier and stimulates the production of white blood cells to protect against infection.   

Vitamin B complex

These eight essential B vitamins play a major role in many key enzyme functions, from breaking down micronutrients and amino acids for immediate use to supporting red blood cell formation, oxygen transportation, and energy production.  

Magnesium

This vital mineral helps your immune system form proteins and fight inflammation. It also supports heart and bone health, plays a significant role in blood pressure control, and helps repair gene damage and regulate nervous system function.  

Zinc

This trace mineral is key to immune cell development. It also plays a significant role in the inflammatory response to infection, helping to “tap the breaks” on excessive, uncontrolled inflammation triggered by an immune system overreaction (i.e., allergies). 

Glutathione

This “master antioxidant” removes free radicals, detoxifies your blood, and fortifies your immune system by increasing your active white blood cell count and triggering the release of infection-fighting “natural killer” cells.
