How It Works
How the Immune Defense works.
Your immune system is one of the most nutrient-hungry systems in the body when it is working. Here is what it draws on heavily, and how each ingredient supports that demand.
What's happeningWhat Immune Defense supports
Your white blood cells pack in Vitamin C at 50 to 100 times normal blood levels and burn through it fast when you're sick
5g IV Vitamin C reaches the levels your immune cells actually use, levels pills can't get to
A pill caps how much Vitamin C you can absorb at a few hundred milligrams
IV delivery skips that ceiling, so the dose is what matters, not your gut
Your infection-fighting cells need Zinc to grow and do their job
Zinc IV supports the production side of your immune defenses, not just the front line
Fighting off a bug creates leftover stress that can wear on healthy tissue
Glutathione cushions that stress so your defenses stay on target
Lysine supports your antiviral defenses and the rebuilding that follows illness
Lysine and Vitamin C together support tissue repair during recovery
The goal: Replenish what the immune system burns through during illness or exposure, fast.
Educational context only. IV therapy supports general wellness and is not a substitute for medical evaluation or care.
How These Work Together
More than a list of ingredients.
Vitamin C and Zinc support immune workload
Vitamin C supports immune cell activity, while Zinc is a cofactor for immune cell development and signaling. Together, they support the demand side of immune function.
Glutathione buffers the stress response
Immune activity creates oxidative stress. Glutathione supports the antioxidant side of the response so the formula is not just about stimulation.
Lysine pairs naturally with Vitamin C
Lysine supports tissue repair pathways, while Vitamin C is required for normal collagen formation, making the pairing useful during recovery windows.
What's Inside and Why
Every ingredient. Every reason it's here.
We don't put things in the formula without a reason. Here's what each ingredient does in your body.
5g Vitamin C
Core immune cell support + antioxidant defense
Your immune cells load up on Vitamin C to fight off germs, and they run it down fast when you're sick. An IV reaches levels pills simply can't.
Zinc
Immune cell production and function
Zinc helps your body build and switch on the immune cells that fight infection. Even being a little low can leave your defenses weaker.
Glutathione
Antioxidant buffer during immune activation
Fighting off germs creates a lot of cell stress. Glutathione is your main antioxidant, helping protect healthy tissue while your immune system works.
Lysine
Antiviral support and tissue repair
Lysine is a building block your body can't make on its own. It supports your response to certain germs and helps repair tissue as you recover.
B-Complex
Systemic support for immune metabolism
Your immune system needs energy to fight, and B vitamins help supply it. They drop fast when you're sick and not eating much, so the IV refills them.
Your Visit
What to expect during a session.
1
Your nurse reviews your symptoms, timeline, medications, and any conditions that might affect the drip selection.
2
IV placement and drip start. No waiting room, no appointment delay.
3
The session runs 45 to 60 minutes. Many clients rest during the drip; some notice mild warmth as the Vitamin C infuses.
4
Your nurse monitors throughout. Post-drip, most clients feel the energy and immune response benefit within a few hours.
Common Questions
Immune Defense. Answered.
Should I get this drip before or after I get sick?
Both. Pre-emptively, the Immune Defense supports your body's defenses when exposure risk is high, whether before travel, during cold season, or before a high-stakes event. During early illness (within the first day or two), IV delivery means nutrients reach your immune system faster than oral supplementation. Your nurse will advise based on your current situation at intake.
Why is high-dose Vitamin C better by IV?
Oral Vitamin C absorption is actively limited by the gut. Above about 200 to 400mg in a single dose, absorption efficiency drops sharply. IV delivery bypasses this ceiling entirely, achieving plasma concentrations that support immune cell function more substantially than any oral dose could.
Can I get an IV drip while I'm already sick?
In many cases, yes. Your nurse reviews your symptoms at intake. Mild to moderate illness is typically fine for IV therapy; severe symptoms or conditions that require medical evaluation are handled differently, and your nurse will advise you to seek appropriate care if that's the case. We screen every client at intake for fit.
Pairs well with the Vitality Booth
Dry salt air, red light, and a calm 20-minute session can be a natural add-on when your goal is immune-season support.
