Classrooms are buzzing, offices are fuller, and planes are packed. Exposure goes up just as sleep and routine often slip. Yes—prioritizing sleep, protein, hydration, and handwashing still matter. But if you want to go beyond the basics during high-exposure months, Immune IV therapy can be a timely assist for hydration and targeted nutrients your body uses to defend and recover.
Why IVs now?
When stress, travel, or weather swings pile on, appetite and sleep quality usually drop—so does nutrient intake and absorption. IV therapy delivers hydration and micronutrients intravenously, bypassing the gut and achieving reliable blood levels when you need them most. That’s why teachers, healthcare professionals, frequent flyers, and busy parents often schedule an immunity IV ahead of big weeks.
What’s inside our Immunity IV—and what each ingredient does
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): A cornerstone antioxidant used by neutrophils and other immune cells. It supports normal immune signaling and collagen synthesis (think: healthy skin and mucosal barriers). Clients often report clearer heads and faster “bounce-back” after travel or sleepless stretches.
- Zinc: Critical for innate and adaptive responses. Even mild shortfalls can blunt your ability to respond to new exposures. In IV form, zinc pairs with vitamin C during peak-demand windows (back-to-school, event weeks).
- B-Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6): These coenzymes run your cellular energy pathways. During season changes—when meals get erratic and stress climbs—B-complex helps you convert food to usable energy and supports healthy nerve and immune function.
- B-12 (methylcobalamin): Supports red blood cell production and mitochondrial energy without caffeine or sugar. A solid choice if you’re saying, “I can’t afford to feel flat next week.”
- Magnesium: Supports relaxation, sleep quality, and muscle function—useful for travelers, high performers, and heavy training blocks.
- Glutathione: A master intracellular antioxidant that helps recycle other antioxidants and supports healthy detox pathways after late nights or air travel.
What IV therapy won’t do—and what you will notice
No therapy can “guarantee” you won’t get sick. IVs don’t replace sleep, nutrition, or sensible precautions. What you’re likely to notice: improved hydration, steadier energy, and better capacity to cope with exposure and schedule stress. For many, that’s the difference between “down for days” and “kept moving.”
Who benefits most right now

Other Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- How fast will I feel the effects?
Many clients notice improved hydration and clearer energy during or within a few hours of an infusion. Antioxidant and immune-support effects are more about how your body performs over the next few days. - How is IV therapy different from oral vitamins?
IV delivery bypasses the gut, achieving predictable blood levels—useful when appetite, absorption, or timing are off (travel, stress, illness exposure). Oral routines still matter; IVs are targeted support, not a replacement. - Is it safe to do IV therapy close to a vaccine or flu shot?
Generally yes. We recommend spacing by 24–48 hours if possible so you can track how you feel from each. Always follow your primary provider’s guidance. - Do I need labs first?
Not usually for our standard Immunity IV. Our clinician screens your history/meds on the day. For high-dose vitamin C or specific goals, we may request G6PD or other labs. - Can I do an IV if I’m coming down with something?
If you have fever, severe symptoms, or dehydration, call us first. We can advise whether to come in or rest at home. We’ll screen you on arrival to keep clients and staff safe. - What are common side effects?
Temporary coolness in the arm, metallic taste, or mild flushing are the most common. Bruising at the site is possible. Serious reactions are rare; our team monitors you throughout. - Who should avoid IVs?
People with certain kidney issues, uncontrolled heart failure, significant electrolyte imbalances, or known allergies to ingredients may not be candidates. Pregnant clients require a provider consult and modified formulas. - How often should I schedule during “sick season”?
Popular patterns: as-needed before/after travel or every 1 to 2 weeks during peak exposure. We’ll personalize based on your schedule and response. - Can I combine IVs with other services the same day?
Many clients pair an IV with B-12 injections or recovery services. A HydraFacial can support your skin barrier—the body’s first line of defense. - What’s the difference between an “Immunity IV” and a “Myers”-type cocktail?
Both hydrate and deliver micronutrients. Our Immunity IV focuses on vitamin C, zinc, and B-complex for high-exposure windows, while a typical “Myers” includes magnesium and calcium with broader general-wellness intent. We can tailor either. - Can athletes use immunity IVs during training blocks?
Yes—especially during volume spikes, tournaments, or travel weeks. We’ll adjust electrolytes and magnesium as appropriate and coordinate with your coach if you’d like. - Will this make me jittery like an energy drink?
B-vitamins and B-12 support cellular energy without caffeine or sugar. - Is IV therapy covered by insurance? Can I use HSA/FSA?
Insurance typically doesn’t cover elective wellness IVs. HSA/FSA cards are often accepted—check your plan. - How long does an appointment take, and what should I do after?
Plan for 35–55 minutes. Hydrate, eat a normal meal, and keep moving gently (a walk is perfect). Most people return to work or travel immediately. - Do you off customize formulas?
Our physician-led team can tailor ingredients and doses to your goals, history, meds, and season—so you get what you need and skip what you don’t.
