Immune System

How can I boost my immune system?

In addition to a healthy lifestyle filled with regular exercise, proper nutrition, and a regular sleep schedule, you can boost your immune system through injection therapy at The IVy by HHMD.

Sometimes your best efforts are not enough or you catch a pesky cold or flu that you can’t shake. In these cases, IV drips and vitamin injections can help you get the nutrients and fluids you need so you can get back to your normal activities sooner.

How does injection therapy help my immune system?

Your immune system is most effective when you are well rested, following a good diet, and have little stress in your life. It can fight off invading viruses and bacteria more easily so the germs you are exposed to don’t cause a major illness.

When you have trouble maintaining good habits or you’re exposed to a foreign virus or bacteria, your immune system must kick into overdrive. Unfortunately, these situations cause your immune system to work harder when you’re already low on energy or nutritional resources. Plus, fighting off a new infection your body doesn’t recognize can be difficult.

Injection therapy can help you maintain a healthy immune system to prevent illness, especially if you lead a busy lifestyle or travel frequently. It can also improve the function of your immune system when you’re sick, helping you recover from illnesses faster.

What are the benefits of IV drips and vitamin injections for immunity?

Injection therapy can help replenish fluids and vitamins to fight off colds, cases of flu, and infections faster. For example, B vitamins can restore energy and help you better utilize fats and carbohydrates as fuel. The supplement glutathione supports your liver and kidneys to flush out toxins.

Specialty compounds—like Myers’ cocktail—incorporate vitamins B and C, magnesium, and calcium to support your immune system and overall health. The IVy by HHMD has an in-house compounding pharmacy so you can get nutrients that specifically target your complaints.

Injection therapy administers these compounds directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive system, to allow for better absorption. This can be beneficial if you’re experiencing vomiting or general stomach upset and taking oral supplements or eating certain foods may aggravate your condition.
