Stay Healthier This Cold and Flu Season with IV Infusion Therapy
October is the beginning of cold and flu season in the United States, which means you're at risk for severe illness over the next few months. With holiday gatherings coming up, the chances are even more likely you'll pick up a cold or, even worse, the flu.
The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu – but there are other ways to boost immunity. IV infusion therapy is one of the many ways to keep your body healthy by increasing hydration and essential nutrients.
If you're ready to plunge into a new and healthier you, book an IV infusion therapy session with the Regenerative Medical Group. Dr. Bryn J. Henderson and Dr. John S. Farag provide IV infusion therapy, primary care, and annual physicals to ensure your year-round wellness.
The facts on IV infusion therapy
Many people associate IV infusion therapy with sick or hospital patients, but it's much more than that. More recently, practices have been implementing it for its wellness and anti-aging benefits.
The Regenerative Medical Group offers IV infusion therapy for various purposes, including boosting immunity, restoring gut health, and decreasing inflammation. It's a simple procedure with limited risks and requires a needlestick to be effective.
Before IV infusion therapy, our team cleanses the skin and inserts a needle into a vein. We remove the needle and leave a tiny plastic catheter in the vein to provide direct access to the bloodstream.
We then mix a saline bag with added nutrients and vitamins that complement the body's needs. For example, we may add extra vitamin C for an immune boost before the flu season begins.
Over about a half hour, we infuse the bag of saline and nutrients into your body via your vein. The benefit is that the nutrients go right into the bloodstream, bypassing the gut, where they often lose much of their potency.
After your infusion, you can go about your day as normal, but the effects last for weeks before you need another boost.
How does IV infusion therapy keep me healthy?
IV infusion therapy is a great way to deliver nutrients, hydration, and medications to the body without compromising their effectiveness in the gut. It gives your body the nutrients it needs to function at its best and avoid chronic illness or severe sickness.
With the flu season right around the corner, boosting the immune system is essential, but that's more challenging than you think. You can take over-the-counter supplements, most of which get lost when they enter the stomach and intestines.
IV therapy bypasses the stomach and GI system to deliver essential ingredients directly into your bloodstream. Those nutrients then travel through the body to fight inflammation, illness, and dangerous viruses like the flu.
Hydration is another essential aspect of staying healthy during the impending colder months. Although you can drink water throughout the day, many people should get more to keep their bodies in tip-top shape.
IV infusion therapy delivers a much-needed boost of hydration to the body with direct access to the bloodstream. If you're drinking less than you should, it's an easy and convenient option for a hydration boost.
Ingredients in some of our most popular IV infusions
The great news about IV infusion therapy is that we can tailor it to your needs. Many people come in around this time to boost their immune system before flu season begins.
Various ingredients, nutrients, and vitamins can go into one IV infusion for optimal benefits and results. We can mix in anything you need to give your body a boost, with some of the most popular ingredients being:
The specific mix of nutrients and vitamins depends on your body's needs. We discuss your goals, general health, and history before deciding which option is best for you. To stay healthy all flu season long, you can repeat IV vitamin infusions several times to keep the immune system in the best shape possible.
