Immunity IV vs. Wellness IV vs. Cold & Flu IV Therapy: What’s the Difference?
At Hydration Room, we’re here to help you feel your best with a variety of physician-designed IV therapies to give your immune system the support it deserves. Each treatment restores hydration while delivering nourishing blends of nutrients and, in some cases, medicine to help you stay healthy, recover faster, and bounce back with energy.In this article, we break down the differences between our Immune Support, Cold and Flu, and Wellness Infusion IVs, so you can easily find the option that feels right for you.
What’s the Difference Between Immunity IV, Wellness IV, and Cold & Flu IV Therapy?
- Immune Support: Helps strengthen immune defenses and replenish energy, supporting resilience against infections.
- Wellness Infusion: Offers similar immune system support but focuses on relaxation rather than boosting energy.
- Cold and Flu: Supports immunity while alleviating viral like symptoms like congestion and achiness.
Let’s dive deeper; read on for more on the differences between IV drips for cold and flu.
Which IV Therapy Is Best for Preventing Illness?
For ongoing immune system resilience, we recommend our Immune Support IV. This treatment’s powerful blend of antioxidants (Vitamins C and D3, Glutathione, Selenium) can help protect your immune cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals.A blend of B vitamins can help support energy metabolism, converting food into usable energy. This can keep your immune cells energized and ready to fight off infections before they overwhelm your system. And if you’re recovering from travel or stress, this energy boost helps prevent fatigue and sluggishness that might leave you more susceptible to illness.
Our Wellness Infusion contains many of the same antioxidants, but also includes ingredients designed to help balance your mood. B6 plays a role in the production of the “happy hormone” serotonin, while inositol helps relieve anxiety by supporting critical neurotransmitters like GABA. These special additions make the Wellness Infusion a good choice for anyone interested in overall health and wellness.
Can IV Therapy Shorten Cold or Flu Recovery?
While the two IVs mentioned above are focused on helping prevent illness, all three of our immune support treatments are here to help you recover from illness faster.Our Cold & Flu IV is formulated to provide extra support when you are already sick. The proprietary blend of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and a calming vitamin works together to help reduce pain, inflammation, sinus pressure, and chest congestion while giving your immune system the hydration and the boost it needs to fight off infections.
All of our IV therapies deliver a full liter of balanced-electrolyte fluids directly into the bloodstream. This allows you to quickly replenish any essential fluids lost during illness. If you’ve had an upset stomach, note that intravenous infusions bypass your tender digestive system, helping restore crucial nutrients directly.
In addition, all of our IV therapies are customizable with add-ons such as engystol, a homeopathic antiviral that may help shorten the duration and severity of symptoms.
How Often Should I Get IV Therapy for Immunity?
Many of our patients receive monthly IVs to maintain their nutrient levels. You may choose more frequent treatments if you are:
- Preparing for cold and flu season
- Going on a trip
- Attending a large gathering
- Under stress
- Feeling rundown
Another popular treatment strategy is to receive an injection therapy, such as our Cold & Flu Boost Injection, to optimize nutrient levels between IV sessions.
Are IV Infusions Safe During Cold and Flu Season?
Our IV therapies contain only high-quality ingredients, including essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them safe and well-tolerated. Every session is administered by a registered nurse who ensures your comfort and safety.Side effects are rare and usually mild. They might include light-headedness, flushing, nausea, or swelling at the injection site. If any discomfort occurs, the nurse can adjust your IV; however, these side effects typically fade as treatment progresses or shortly after treatment.
Let your nurse know if you are taking any medications or have allergies.
