How IV Therapy Can Be an Immune Booster

How IV Therapy Can Be an Immune Booster

We’re in the middle of winter right now, and germs and sickness are everywhere. It’s cold outside, the person behind you in the crowd just sneezed, and you’re dreading the thought of you and your family getting sick.

Sounds like you need an immunity booster with IV therapy.

At Skin Med Spa, we’re here to support your health and build your immunity while helping you look great. Here’s how IV therapy can be an immune booster for you.

What is IV therapy?

The purpose of IV therapy is to deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line.

When you take a supplement in pill form, the nutrients have to pass through your digestive system before being absorbed into your blood. This not only limits the amount of nutrients that actually reach you, it takes longer for them to have their intended effect.

An IV line gives you maximum effect in terms of the amount of nutrients you receive and in how quickly your body can respond to the substances.

How does it boost your immunity?

IV therapy can be used for several purposes, including upping your vitamin intake and even recovering from hangovers. One of the best uses, though, is to increase the effectiveness of your immune system to fight off illness.

Here are a few ways it does that.

Immune-boosting vitamins

Though your specific mix of nutrients may vary depending on your particular needs, vitamins we often use include:

Hydration and rehydration

Maintaining your body’s hydration levels is key to fighting infections and keeping your immune system in tip-top shape. IV therapy is a fast and easy way to keep fluids in your system or restore them if your body has become dehydrated due to illness.

Restore energy

Sickness can leave you fatigued and drained. Our energy-boosting IV cocktails will restore your energy levels and help you recover more quickly from any illness you’re facing.

Detoxification

Antioxidants, such as glutathione, in our IVs can help remove toxins to allow your immune system to repair itself and get back to full strength.

If you’re ready to give your immunity a boost, call the Skin Med Spa office in Downers Grove to schedule an appointment, or book your own time with our online scheduler.
