When you feel a cold coming on, have a trip coming up, or just cannot shake that run-down feeling, an immune boost IV drip is one way to give your body extra support. Specifically, it delivers fluids and immune-supporting nutrients like vitamin C and zinc directly into your bloodstream in a single 30 to 45 minute session.
Below, this guide explains what is in an immune boost IV drip, how it works, how it compares to taking vitamins by mouth, and when it makes the most sense to book one.
An immune boost IV drip is an infusion of fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals chosen to support your immune system. First, a licensed nurse places a small IV line, usually in your arm, and the drip runs for about 30 to 45 minutes while you relax.
Flare MD’s Immune Boost IV is one of our most requested treatments during cold and flu season, and it is also a popular choice for anyone who feels worn down and wants to recover faster. You can view the full treatment details here.
Every Flare MD Immune Boost IV includes five core ingredients:
Sterile fluids and electrolytes rehydrate you, which matters when you are sick, sweating, or not eating and drinking normally.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that plays a key role in how immune cells work. However, your body cannot make or store much of it, so it depends on regular intake. Learn more on our Vitamin C page.
Zinc helps your immune system develop and activate the cells that fight off germs. In fact, even a mild shortage can weaken your body’s response. See our Zinc page for details.
Meanwhile, B vitamins help your body turn food into energy, which is why they are often included for people who feel tired and drained. Read more on our Vitamin B Complex page.
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally. In particular, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which tends to increase when you are sick or under stress. Learn more on our Glutathione page.
Vitamins and minerals from food and supplements are the foundation of a healthy immune system, and an IV is not a replacement for good daily habits. Instead, the difference is in how the nutrients reach your body. Oral supplements have to pass through your digestive system, and how much you absorb can vary. By contrast, an IV drip delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream and hydrates you at the same time.
An immune boost IV drip can be a good fit when:
However, if you have a high fever, trouble breathing, chest pain, or symptoms that are getting worse, see a doctor or go to urgent care. An IV drip is not a substitute for medical treatment.
Flare MD offers two immune-focused drips:
You can see current pricing for both on our IV therapy menu. Before treatment, every visit starts with a quick health screening, and your nurse will help you choose the right option for how you feel.
Finally, you can get your immune boost IV drip at one of our clinics, or have a licensed nurse come to your home, office, or hotel. To book a mobile visit, call or text (817) 330-9385.
An immune boost IV drip combines hydration with vitamin C, zinc, B-complex, and glutathione to support your body when it needs it most, whether that is at the start of a cold, before a trip, or during a stressful stretch. That said, it works best alongside healthy habits like good sleep, a balanced diet, and staying up to date on vaccines. When you are ready, book your appointment with Flare MD.
It rehydrates you and delivers vitamin C, zinc, B-complex vitamins, and glutathione directly into your bloodstream to support your immune system and energy levels.
It depends on your health and goals. Some people book one at the first sign of a cold, while others schedule them periodically during flu season. Either way, your nurse can recommend a schedule during your health screening.
No. Instead, many people book one before travel, during a stressful stretch, or during cold and flu season to support their body before they get sick.
No. An immune boost IV does not cure illness. Rather, it provides fluids and nutrients that support your body while it recovers. If your symptoms are severe or getting worse, see a doctor.
The Immune Boost Plus includes everything in the Immune Boost, plus your choice of a vitamin D3 injection or Decadron. Of course, your nurse can help you decide which one fits your needs.
They are generally safe when given by licensed clinicians. In addition, every Flare MD visit starts with a health screening, and your nurse monitors you during the infusion. Let us know about any medical conditions, especially kidney problems, during your screening.
