The temperatures are dropping, the days are getting shorter, and with these signs of fall comes the arrival of flu season. It generally starts around October and continues well into the new year. While practicing good hygiene and getting the flu shot are essential, there’s even more you can do to protect your health.
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is a popular, proactive approach to boost your immune system and fortify your defenses against colds, flu, and other seasonal illnesses. Angie Huff, Pharm.D., Jenny Theriot, NP, and our team at SYNC Wellness + SYNC Life in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, specialize in custom IV therapy blends, your secret weapon against flu season.
The power of IV vitamin therapy
IV therapy has revolutionized the way we receive essential nutrients. It delivers vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system. That means your body can absorb the nutrients more efficiently compared to traditional oral supplements.
At SYNC Wellness + SYNC Life, we customize each bag of fluids based on your health needs and goals. For immune support, we often recommend blends that contain magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and zinc.
Magnesium
Magnesium plays a critical role in immune function. It helps regulate your body’s response to stress, reduces inflammation, and supports your overall immune health. A magnesium deficiency can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections like the flu.
Vitamin B complex
B vitamins support antibody production in your immune system, boost energy levels, and help maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes (your first line of defense against airborne illnesses like the flu). A deficiency in any of the B vitamins can compromise your immune system’s ability to fight off illnesses.
B12
Vitamin B12 in particular helps support a healthy immune system. It’s essential for red blood cell, white blood cell, and DNA production, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy nerve function. A B12 deficiency can lead to anemia and weakened immune function.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a well-known immune booster. It supports white blood cell production, which is crucial for fighting infections. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. During flu season, increasing your vitamin C intake can be particularly beneficial.
Zinc
Zinc is another essential nutrient for immune health. It’s involved in immune cell development and function, and even helps reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms. A zinc deficiency can weaken your immune system’s ability to ward off infections and make illnesses like the flu last longer.
How IV therapy can boost immunity during flu season
The combination of magnesium, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and zinc in IV therapy blends offers a powerful immune-boosting effect during flu season. They work together to help your immune system function optimally, so it can detect and destroy germs effectively.
Magnesium and vitamin C have anti-inflammatory properties to help your body mount a more balanced immune response. If you do get sick, zinc and B12 can reduce the duration and severity of your illness, so you can recover more quickly.
