Summer is a great time when you don't have to worry too much about your health. However, with fall and winter right around the corner, boosting your immune system is a great way to avoid illness.
Vitamins and supplements are a great way to give your immune system the essential nutrients it needs. However, IV therapy is a quicker and more efficient way to fuel your body.
IV therapy isn't just something you get in the hospital anymore; it's a versatile treatment that allows you to take control of your body by quickly delivering essential nutrients right into the bloodstream.
The team at the Regenerative Medical Group offers holistic and effective treatments for various conditions, including the immune system.
Dr. Bryn J. Henderson is the primary care physician at RMG, providing IV therapy for multiple issues, including boosting your immune system to prevent illness in the coming winter.
The immune system is a complex body of different organs, white blood cells, and certain chemicals. The immune system's role is to fight off harmful viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi that cause infection and disease.
Viruses, bacteria, and other harmful invaders don't stand a chance against a healthy immune system. The system can recognize your body's normal cells, allowing it to attack and destroy invaders.
If exposed to certain germs or foreign bacteria, the immune system fights them off by producing antibodies to protect your body from subsequent illness or infection.
The immune system also produces antibodies after receiving a vaccine, typically weakened or dead germs that alert your immune system to recognize them as invaders.
However, many issues and conditions lead to a weakened immune system, compromising your health and wellness by failing to fight off certain bacteria, viruses, or germs.
IV, or intravenous therapy, is a treatment hospitals and doctors use to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream.
One of the main benefits of IV therapy over oral medications or supplements is that it bypasses the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Many vitamins, nutrients, and medications are lost in the stomach and GI tract from digestion.
During IV therapy, a nurse or doctor inserts a needle with a catheter attached to a vein, usually in the arm. Once in the vein, they remove the needle, leaving only a soft, flexible catheter in place.
The catheter has a port where we can attach IV fluids that contain medications or vitamins, which flow directly into the vein and bloodstream.
Once the treatment is complete, we remove the catheter from the vein and put a bandage over the site to control minimal bleeding.
The risk for infection or problems associated with IV therapy is generally low, which makes it an excellent treatment option for illness or simply boosting your health.
With winter and flu season quickly approaching, it's a good idea to start boosting your immune system now. IV therapy with immunity is a great way to get your immune system in shape before the cold sets in.
Our team provides customized IV therapy treatments to address your specific immunity needs. We add various vitamins and minerals that help give your immune system the boost you need. Some of the vitamins we use in IV therapy include:
Vitamin C is one of the best-known vitamins that boosts the immune system and fights germs and infections more efficiently. Although many foods contain vitamin C, an extra boost is exactly what your body needs for heightened immunity.
We customize our immunity IV treatments to give your body exactly what you require for a healthy, illness-free fall and winter, so you can enjoy activities instead of staying in bed due to illness.
