Why You Should Use IV For Flu Prevention

Fall is the most memorable time of the year, with family coming over to celebrate multiple holidays. Amidst the fun, you want to ensure you stay healthy so you can enjoy all the festivities. Of course, you can and should get your flu shot, but there are other ways to protect yourself from illness.

Many people swear by Vitamin C supplements, but the problem with those is that they have to go through your digestive tract first. This can take days, and you won’t receive all the benefits. Some of the vitamins will go right through your system because they don’t have time to be fully absorbed. These problems are why many people turn to IV treatment for flu prevention.

How Does IV for Flu Prevention Work?

When we get busy, we stop taking care of ourselves. We don’t get enough sleep. We’re stressed. We eat too many sweets and become nutrient deficient. All of this makes our body grow weaker, and it makes us vulnerable to catching a cold or the flu. And even if you’re drinking fluids, your body might not be able to absorb everything from them.

However, an IV for flu prevention delivers precious vitamins and minerals that your body needs,directly into your bloodstream. This way, your body can use all of the nutrients that are given through the IV and none are lost in your digestive system. We include vitamins like B complex and B12 to increase your white blood cells, and make you feel more energetic.

And, to help your immune system fight disease, we add some vitamin C to give you energy.This helps you feel better, even while your immune system is working hard. We also include anti-inflammatory ingredients to alleviate any aches and pains if you do end up coming down with the cold or flu.

Benefits of IV for Flu Prevention

Together with a flu shot, an IV can give your body the tools it needs to fight off foreign invaders during flu season. The flu shot is going to be your main line of defense against the flu. But an IV can come in and restore necessary nutrients that lower when your body is fighting off illnesses.

And, these nutrients enhance your immune system. An IV works as a general preventative that protects you from cold viruses too, which flu shots don’t cover.

Sometimes even if you get a flu shot, you still come down with the flu. But in this scenario, you want to make your time sick as short as possible to get back to doing the things that you love. So, if you receive IV for flu prevention, your body will be stronger and ready to attack any viruses. This makes the time that you’re sick shorter.

Even if you’re sick when you get your injection, it’s not too late. Vitamin injections can help reduce the length of your symptoms, even if you’ve already come down with something.

Last, one of the best things you can do for yourself during the flu season is to stay hydrated. When you contract the flu or a cold, you can become dehydrated quickly, which makes your body feel worse. But if you get IV treatments for the flu, your body will absorb electrolytes straight into your bloodstream, mitigating dehydration symptoms. Staying hydrated helps boost your immune system too, so it may help you avoid the flu or a cold completely.
