Why Immune IV Therapy Can Be a Game-Changer During Cold & Flu Season

When it comes to naturopathic medicine, one of the most important things to remember is that no therapy is one-size-fits-all. Your body is unique and so are its needs. What works well for one person may not be the right fit for another. That’s why IV nutrient therapy is designed to be flexible, evolving with the seasons and your individual health priorities. Dr. Shelby Garn explains:

Right now, as we move into kids heading back to school and the height of cold and flu season, my go-to treatment for many patients is the Multi-Nutrient Immune IV. This formula is a comprehensive blend similar in nature to other multi-nutrient IVs but it includes a few strategic additions that make it especially powerful for immune support.

What’s Inside the Immune IV?

– High-Dose Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential of immune health. Delivered intravenously, it reaches therapeutic levels in the bloodstream that oral supplements simply cannot achieve. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress caused by infections while helping to shorten the duration and severity of cold symptoms.

– Zinc

Zinc plays a critical role in modulating the immune response. Adequate zinc levels help the body fight off infections more effectively and may even reduce susceptibility to future colds and flus.

– High-Dose Vitamin B

All of the B vitamins are provided in high doses to support both energy production and liver function. Together, they help regulate immune pathways and assist in clearing out viral and bacterial byproducts—supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes while keeping your energy steady.

The Power of Adding Glutathione

One of my most frequent recommendations alongside the Immune IV is a Glutathione IV. Glutathione is known as the body’s “master antioxidant.” It not only supports the immune system but also plays a key role in detoxification, helping the body rid itself of toxins and waste products generated during illness.

When combined with a multi-nutrient IV like the Immune IV, the nutrient precursors in the formula help recycle glutathione, allowing for enhanced and prolonged benefits. Think of it as boosting your body’s internal defence system while also ensuring it has the tools to clean up and restore balance after an immune battle.

Is Immune IV Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve found yourself struggling to shake off a lingering cold, if you have upcoming travel plans or simply want to strengthen your immune system during this season, an Immune IV could be a supportive option. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, I’d love to discuss options with you.
